Discover Sensors
Sensors are discovered when GoSystem is created, using GoSystem_Construct . You can use GoSystem_
SensorCount and GoSystem_SensorAt to iterate all the sensors that are on the network.
GoSystem_SensorCount returns the number of sensors physically in the network.
Alternatively, use GoSystem_FindSensorById or GoSystem_FindSensorByIpAddress to get the sensor by ID
or by IP address.
Refer to the Discover example for details on iterating through all sensors. Refer to other examples for
details on how to get a sensor handle directly from IP address.
Connect Sensors
Sensors are connected by calling GoSensor_Connect . You must first get the sensor object by using
GoSystem_SensorAt , GoSystem_FindSensorById , or GoSystem_FindSensorByIpAddress .
Configure Sensors
Some configuration is performed using the GoSensor object, such as managing jobs, uploading and
downloading files, scheduling outputs, setting alignment reference, etc. Most configuration is however
performed through the
GoSetup object, for example, setting scan mode, exposure, exposure mode,
active area, speed, alignment, filtering, subsampling, etc. Surface generation is configured through the
GoSurfaceGeneration object and part detection settings are configured through the GoPartDetection
object.
See Class Hierarchy on page 535 for information on the different objects used for configuring a sensor.
Sensors must be connected before they can be configured.
Refer to the Configure example for details on how to change settings and to switch, save, or load jobs.
Refer to the BackupRestore example for details on how to back up and restore settings.
Enable Data Channels
Use GoSystem_EnableData to enable the data channels of all connected sensors. Similarly, use GoSystem_
EnableHealth to enable the health channels of all connected sensors.
Perform Operations
Operations are started by calling GoSystem_Start , GoSystem_StartAlignment , and GoSystem_
StartExposureAutoSet .
Refer to the StationaryAlignment and MovingAlignment examples for details on how to perform
alignment operations. Refer to the ReceiveRange , ReceiveProfile , and ReceiveWholePart examples for
details on how to acquire data.
Example: Configuring and starting a sensor with the Gocator API
#include <GoSdk/GoSdk.h>
void main()
