troubleshooting. Images taken at a system that is having trouble can be sent
to a remote facility for analysis.
Virtual Camera
The interface between AdeptSight and Vision Devices is a virtual camera. Both
physical and emulated cameras require the definition of an associated virtual
camera. This allows AdeptSight to access either type of camera using the same
interface.
Vision Tools
A vision tool is software that performs one or more vision-related operations on its input.
Each tool performs a specific function, such as inspection or some other processing. The input
can be an image from a virtual camera or it can be the output of another vision tool.
NOTE: A new workspace doesn't have any tools in it. You add (create) them in the work-
space as needed. See Adding Vision Tools on page 239.
Sequences
The output of one vision tool can be used as the input to another. In this way, the order of
tool execution is implicitly defined. You can add a Sequence object to the workspace, to help
you see the order in which tools will be executed. See AdeptSight Sequence on page 181.
