Software Interface
The BOA vision system is supplied with the iNspect
vision application embedded. This
application offers a suite of vision capabilities to satisfy a diverse range of automated
inspection needs. The application interface is accessed through the Ethernet
connection using a PC with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or higher. You do not need to
install software on your host system to setup or operate the BOA
system.
Take note of the following before attempting to access the application:
Getting Started
1.
BOA vision systems are preconfigured with a default static IP address of
192.168.0.100
2.
The PC used to access BOA initially will need to be configured on the same
network neighborhood, but with a different address (i.e. 192.168.0.101). Consult
your system administrator for instructions on how to do this. The subnet mask
should be set automatically to 255.255.255.0
3.
This static IP address can be changed at any time through the BOA web server
interface to match your Local Area Network. Click on the “Setup Device”
hot link to
change the network address. Remember to keep a record of what the new
address is set to. BOA supports both DHCP and Static IP addressing (preferred
since the address does not change).
NOTE: A power cycle is required before the new address will take
effect.
4.
If you incorrectly set, or forgot, the new address of your BOA, you can run the
“
iDiscover
”
utility. This program is installed automatically when you click
on the
“iNspect
Express”
or “upgrade”
hot links in the web server interface. This program
is also on the iNspect
emulator CD that ships with the system.
5.
In most cases you will need administrator privileges on your PC to access BOA. It
may be necessary to customize the security settings on your browser to download
and run ActiveX controls.
6.
If for any reason you can not access BOA from your internet browser, you can
install the emulator application from the shipping CD and connect to the camera
through this interface. This step is explained in more detail later in the manual.
7.
BOA is compatible with host computers running the Windows XP operating
system. BOA has also been verified on the new Windows 7 O/S.
NOTE: See document on CD “Configuring Windows for BOA”
