PC Settings
The Playback button launches the Record/Playback Options dialog, which allows you to configure record and playback settings for individual vision systems and emulators. PC playback mode, which can be accessed while the vision system is Online or Offline, allows you to play back as many as 10,000 images to help validate a job; the image is sent to the vision system and the job runs against the image being played back.
