VisionPro Tool Blocks
Cognex Designer supports the addition of VisionPro CogToolBlocks to a Task. This allows users to include the image processing and vision algorithms as part of the Task.
Note:
- This topic assumes that Cameras have been added and configured to pass images to the Tool Block.
- A VisionPro Tool Block saved in a Designer project will not contain the input image. They are saved using the VisionPro serializer, using the CogSerializationOptionsConstants.Minimum parameter.
- To add a VisionPro CogToolBlock to a Task, go to the Toolbox and expand the Vision > VisionPro category.
-
Drag and drop the Tool Block onto the Task, where it becomes a VisionPro Tool Block. By default, the Tool Block has a single input pin, which can be linked to compatible Reference Blocks, such as a Camera Reference Block, or other Tool Blocks. The linked block should provide the image that will be processed.
- After linking the Tool Block, press the
Run button to execute the Task and force the Tool Block to execute and acquire an image. - Double-click the Tool Block to open the Designer Tool Block, which will open in a new tab beside the Task.
