Programming and Running AutoVISION/Visionscape with GigE Cameras 1) FrontRunner Taking Control of the System After Visionscape FrontRunner launches, the GigE vision system can be programmed by selecting the GigEVision1 icon, and then creating a new job. During the new job creation (or load job), Packet Size, InterPacket Delay, and Line Debounce times are written to the cameras. The camera channel that takes the picture can be selected by clicking the Snapshot Step in the left-hand list and then selecting Acquire Tab on the right side. The cameras will go from 1 to 8. 2) Viewing Job in the Job Editor Selecting the Editor Button in the top right of the screen will show the job view.
Clicking on the GigEVision1 vision system step will allow you to see the cameras as well as the number of buffers set for each. The default is 16. When using large cameras, it is advisable to reduce the number of buffers down to 4 to keep BufferPool memory usage under 200MB.
