Welcome to In-Sight® Explorer!
In-Sight Explorer provides a powerful and completely integrated vision system configuration, management and operator interface, all within a single software package, and includes two development environments in which to program In-Sight vision systems:
- EasyBuilder® provide a step-by-step template to simplify application setup, and an image-centric interface that facilitates point-and-click selection of features of interest in the image to configure inspections.
- The Spreadsheet is the classic In-Sight Explorer development environment, offering the most flexibility and the fullest set of development tools. The In-Sight Function Reference describes all functions that can be inserted into spreadsheet cells. For more information, see Function Reference.
