Cognex Designer Standard and Advanced

The Cognex Designer featuring Cognex Vision Controller Standard and Advanced class teaches the standard and advanced topics of how to create a vision application with the Cognex Designer programming environment which includes a built in HMI user interface.

This class gives new users an overview of the hardware and software used by Cognex Designer to quickly and efficiently program the system for automated vision inspections. With the focus on understanding image acquisition basics as well as core vision tools, users learn how to walk through the process of setting up a vision application using programming best practices of the Cognex Designer interface.

Students will learn to use advanced techniques and practices to accomplish their vision application needs such as user access, data storage, and HMI design. The Cognex Designer interface requires some integrated VisionPro programming, C# scripting, flow diagram component placement and integrated HMI creation so can students can focus on solving their vision solution needs quickly and effectively.
