All VC machine vision libraries have been revised to run on PCs. Customers can continue to program in C or C++, but can now also use the Microsoft development environment Visual Studio 2010. Compiling during programming is no longer necessary, since the software can be developed and tested on a PC. Single program steps can now be tested and debugged on the PC directly in Visual Studio. http://www.inspect-online.com/en/products/vision/vision-components-smart-cameras-now-programmable-microsoft-tools Wed, 07 Dec 2011 17:18:00 +0000 http://www.inspect-online.com/en/news/inspect-032005-part-1-now-freely-available Inspect 03/2005, Part I, now freely available Advanced Technology Adding a New Dimension to Metrology http://www.inspect-online.com/en/news/inspect-032005-part-1-now-freely-available Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:52:00 +0000 http://www.inspect-online.com/en/news/inspect-032005-part-2-now-freely-available Inspect 03/2005, Part 2, now freely available CMOS-Camera-Series for Demanding Applications in PCB and Wafer Inspection Greater Transparency with Camera Data http://www.inspect-online.com/en/news/inspect-032005-part-2-now-freely-available Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:25:00 +0000 http://www.inspect-online.com/en/products/vision/visiosens-vf-camera-platform-customized-high-tech-industries The new VF camera series is not just a set range of cameras, it is a highly flexible and customisable image capture platform with more than 140 camera variants per image sensor.
