IVC Studio
IVC Studio is used for developing the programs that are used by the cameras when
performing
inspections
– that is, analyzing images. IVC Studio can handle both 2D and
3D cameras.
When you develop a program in IVC Studio, you work with a
product
. A product in IVC
Studio is a great help for handling all the
devices
(usually cameras), programs and tables
that are needed for a certain inspection.
The product contains a list of the used devices, and copies of all programs and tables that
are used by the devices. Normally, each device has one program and one table associated
to it, which is also the program and table that are currently in the working memory.
To be able to work with a program in IVC Studio, it must be associated with a device. A
program is always executed on a device – and never on the computer. The computer is
mainly used for building and modifying the programs on the devices, and to display the
results sent from the devices.

Programs in Development and Production
During development, you build the program in IVC Studio but the program is automatically
downloaded to the associated device.
When a program (or program step) is executed it is executed in the camera, and the results
are sent back to IVC Studio where they are displayed.
