NI Vision Builder ActiveX

ConnectToTarget Method

Syntax

NIVBAIInspectionEngine.ConnectToTarget [IPAddress = ""], [Mode = vbaiFullControl], [Password = ""], [Status]

Return Type

NIVBAITarget

Purpose

(Obsolete—Use ConnectToTarget2 instead) Connects to either a local or remote target. A connection must be established before inspections can run. If an inspection is already running on a target, the InspectionComplete events are received.

Return Value

Target opened.

Remarks

Vision Builder AI currently supports having only one target open at a time. An error occurs if you try to open a target while another is open, but this error is not guaranteed behavior. Use ActiveTargets.Count to determine if a target is currently open.

Parameters

IPAddress as Variant

The IP address of the target. Use one of the following three methods to open the local target:

  • Do not specify this parameter.
  • Use an empty string as the IP address
  • Use 127.0.0.1.

Mode as Variant

Level of access to request from the target.

Password as Variant

Password required to gain access to the target. This parameter is ignored on the local target.

Status as Variant

Current state of the target.
