Module: ThirdParty

Captures an image from a smart camera. Allows for remote access to the runtime system.

Hints

  • Check the IP address of your runtime system (e.g. using the "ipconfig" command) and set it to the inIpAddress input.
  • Run the program on you runtime system and the camera filter will acquire images directly on it.
  • Run the program on your development machine (e.g. your laptop) connected to the same Ethernet and the camera filter will receive images through a connection with the runtime system.
