Menu Bar – File

The File tab of the Menu Bar is used to create, open and save jobs, and to disconnect from the vision system.

Option	Hotkey	Description
New	N/A	Allows you to quickly create a new job: If you have any custom job templates stored in the <X>:\Users\<username>\Documents\In-Sight Vision Suite\Job Templates folder, or you are using an In-Sight ViDi PC deployment with 2 or more CIC cameras, then this option launches the Job Wizard. See the Create a New Job with the Job Wizard topic for more information on creating a new job. In any other case, a new single-camera, single spreadsheet job is automatically created. The newly-created job is stored as a .jobx file. Tip: See the Save As* option description below for more information on how to create a custom job template. Note: When clicking the option, the following dialog may appear, prompting you to save your job before continuing: Click Yes if you want to save the currently loaded job and continue with the Wizard, or click No if you want to discard the unsaved changes before continuing. Click Cancel if you want to keep working on the currently open job.
Open	N/A	Allows you to open an existing job stored either on the In-Sight vision system, on the PC running In-Sight Vision Suite, or on a local network storage. Use the available buttons on the left to quickly navigate among the supported storage locations: Recent: Shows you the most recent jobs opened on the device. This is the default setting. This PC: Opens the This PC node of the operating system, providing access to the PC's partitions, mapped network folders and default data directories (Documents, Downloads, etc.). My Jobs: Opens the default job folder of In-Sight Vision Suite at <X>:\Users\<username>\Documents\In-Sight Vision Suite\Jobs. Desktop: Opens the Desktop of the PC running In-Sight Vision Suite. Downloads: Opens the Desktop of the PC running In-Sight Vision Suite. Network: Searches and lists the available network resources available on the local network. Device: Opens the internal storage of the connected vision system. Use the (Go To Parent Directory) and (New Folder) buttons to move one folder up or create a new directory, respectively. Note: When clicking the option, the following dialog may appear, prompting you to save your job before continuing: Click Yes if you want to save the currently loaded job and continue with the Wizard, or click No if you want to discard the unsaved changes before continuing. Click Cancel if you want to keep working on the currently open job.
Save All	N/A	Saves the current job. If the job has not been saved before, this option opens the Save As dialog.
Save As	F12	Saves the current job with the configured name to the specified location. The dialog has the same layout and options as the Open dialog. Tip: You can save your current job as a custom job template. To do so, navigate in the Save As dialog to your In-Sight Vision Suite data folder (<X>:\Users\<username>\Documents\In-Sight Vision Suite\), create a new Job Templates folder, and save the job there. When creating a new job next time, the Job Wizard will launch, listing the saved custom templates below the default Blank Spreadsheet template in the Select Job Type step. You can then create a new job based on your custom template(s) by selecting them. Tip: The Save All and Save As options save the job along with all ViDi training images and training workspaces associated with the ViDi functions of the job. This allows you to perform further fine-tuning on the ViDi functions later, but also results in an increased job file size, and slower loading/saving times. Therefore, use the Save All and Save As options only if the job requires further application training. Otherwise, export the job with the Export Runtime Job option.
Export Runtime Job	N/A	Saves the current job without the training images and the training workspace associated with the ViDi functions of the job. The Export Runtime Job dialog looks and works the same as the Save As dialog. Tip: Runtime jobs cannot be used for further application training, but they have a decreased file size, and feature better loading/saving times than regular jobs. Therefore, use this option instead of the Save options if you are ready to deploy the job.
Open Image	N/A	Allows you to open a new image stored on the device or on the PC, and load it into the Spreadsheet Editor as the current image.
Save Image As...	Ctrl+Shift+S	Allows you to save the image currently loaded in the Spreadsheet Editor. In-Sight ViDi supports saving the acquired image either in .jpg or .bmp format.
Exit	N/A	Disconnects from the currently connected vision system, closing the adapter in the process, and returning to the In-Sight Vision Suite screen. Note: Before disconnecting, a dialog appears to save or discard the current job settings.
