VBAI API - Problem

[mechanical-minded]

HI all,

           I am using VBAI to set up and inspection of washers, the inspection runs is set up and runs fine. However I am not to sure how to set up the API to run this inspection through the main labview program. Any idea how to do this ?

Examples are provided in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\<Vision Builder AI>\API Examples\LabVIEW Examples

Thanks, I have the local example open. Is this a simple case of opening your vision builder inspection. Then opening the API aplication and selecting the desired inspection?

[ChristopheC]

Yes, the API allows you to launch a Vision Builder AI engine, open an inspection, and then you can choose, depending on your application to run it once, retrieve results and images, or start running it asynchronously, and only do monitoring from LabVIEW for examples.

There are also some documents on our web site that describes such applications in detail such as:

Hope this helps.
