Accelerating Development With Predefined Project Types
Predefined Project Types are projects that are prepopulated with common components used in many Cognex Designer projects.
Why Use a Predefined Project Type?
When you create a new project, you have the option of choosing to define it with a Predefined Project Type, such as Single Camera, Multi Camera, and Independent Multi Camera.
Benefits of using Predefined Project Types, instead of creating a project as a blank project (the default project type) include:
-
Consistency of design across applications that you develop, since you are using a set of common project types.
-
Predefined Project Type components are structurally sound, tested models and demonstrate best practices for creating future project components.
-
Drastically reduced development time and improved efficiency, especially when creating demos and prototypes.
What Components Are Created For You?
Creating a project with a Predefined Project Type enables Cognex Designer to create a ready-to-use application containing preconfigured:
- Online and Offline modes
- Image acquisition blocks (real or simulated cameras)
- VisionPro Tool Block image processing (Vision Job)
- Image Recording
- WPF page GUI
- Web page GUI
- Results calculation (basic scripting)
