Operational Precautions
The simulation software allows you to experience functions of the Smart Camera FHV series on a PC.
Please note that operations on the simulation software may be different from those on the actual FHV
series.
■ Unavailable operations with the simulation software
• Image input and measurement with a camera connected.
• Use and check of the I/O monitor
• Data output in the result output processing item
• Conditional branch corresponding to DI in the input conditional branch processing item.
• Saving each data to the Smart Camera
■ Different Operations from the Smart Camera.
• Performing measurements
Since a measurement with a connected camera is unavailable, the measurement is always per-
formed on file images.
• Settings for camera image input
Changing values are only available.
• Saving data to the Smart Camera memory.
Scene data, scene group data, when selecting Main memory at saving System setting data, the
