Loading Vision Builder for AI 3.5 or Later through MAX onto a Compact Vision System (CVS) or Smart Camera

Primary Software: Vision Builder for Automated Inspection
Primary Software Version: 3.5
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A
Hardware: Image Acquisition (IMAQ)>>Compact Vision System

Problem:
I have a Compact Vision System (CVS) or NI 17xx Smart Camera onto which I am trying to install Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (VBAI) 3.5 or later. However, when I locate the device as a remote system in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) and choose to add or remove software on it, no entry appears for Vision Builder 3.5. How can I configure my CVS or Smart Camera for VBAI 3.5 or later?

Solution:
Beginning with versions of VBAI 3.5 or later, loading VBAI onto a CVS or Smart Camera should be done through the VBAI program itself.

  • For the CVS, follow the directions in the NI CVS-1450 Series Compact Vision System Quick Start Guide (linked below), from the section entitled "Configure the NI CVS-1450 Device."
  • For the 17xx Smart Camera, follow the directions in the Getting Started with the NI 17xx Smart Camera and Specifications manual (linked below), from the section entitled "Configuring the NI 17xx with Vision Builder AI."

If you are unable to load VBAI 3.5 onto a CVS-1454 due to it not having enough free space available, you may need to have it upgrade it to a later revision with a higher maximum memory capacity. See the Related Links below for more information.
