1 Preface 1.1 Introduction IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH has taken every possible care in preparing this manual. We however assume no liability for the content, completeness or quality of the information contained therein. The content of this manual is regularly updated and adapted to reflect the current status of the software. We furthermore do not guarantee that this product will function without errors, even if the stated specifications are adhered to.
The installation, inspection, maintenance, extension, and repair may only be done by authorized personnel. · The IDS NXT vision app-based sensor must be installed in such way that the specifications are met which are described in the manual. ·...
3.2 Starting IDS NXT Cockpit Start the IDS NXT Cockpit either via the icon on the desktop or under "Start > All prgrams > IDS > NXT > IDS NXT Cockpit". After launching, you will be in the “Device overview”. IDS NXT Cockpit scans the network for IDS NXT vision app-based sensors and lists them in this overview.

If you have connected multiple sensors, the "Find me" button is useful. The corresponding IDS NXT vision app- based sensor then emits a brief acoustic and visual signal (device display flashes) to identify itself. The logon button takes you to the relevant device logon.
This user profile provides shop floor employees, for example, with status information for a IDS NXT vision app-based sensor so that they can directly find information about fault conditions. The passwords for the "admin" and "service" user classes are "ids" when delivered. They can be...

In the "Software" mode, image capture is triggered by a software command. The software command is signaled for example by an external client PC or a vision app. How to activate a software trigger via the REST interface is described in the manual "IDS NXT: REST API". November 2017...
· With the button, you can activate a software trigger manually in IDS NXT Cockpit. 6.1.3.3 Trigger type "Hardware" In the "Hardware" mode, image acquisition is activated via an external trigger signal.
Operation: IDS NXT Trigger "Hardw are" In this trigger mode, the live image only shows an image if a trigger has been activated. In the live image, you can see the capture date of the last image in the lower right corner. Under "Lost Triggers", the lost triggers per second are displayed in relation to the captured images.
NOTICE! Optical radiation from visible LED light. Do not look into beam! Enables or disables the internal lighting of IDS NXT vision app-based sensor. The internal lighting is synchronized to the respective trigger mode. The image brightness is controlled by the exposure time.
Audible feedback In delivery state, both the audible and visual feedback signals are deactivated. The IDS NXT can be configured to signal an audible feedback for different actions. The following feedbacks are possible: · Device errors ·...
NOTICE! Optical radiation from visible LED light. Do not look into beam! In addition to the audible feedback, you can activate the visual feedback for successful image processing. As visual feedback, the IDS NXT vision app-based sensor activates the green acknowledgement LED for a short time.
You can uninstall individual vision apps by clicking on . To delete the vision app, confirm the query. Vision apps pre-installed at delivery can be deleted. A factory reset restores the vision apps (see manual "IDS NXT: Setup"). November 2017...
User: Setting passwords for the different user classes. Firmware update: Uploading a new firmware. 7.1 Network In the "Network" area, you can set whether the IDS NXT vision app-based sensor automatically obtains the IP address via DHCP or set a static IP address. ·...
