Simulate Acquisition FAQs

Q: How do I cycle through all the images in a folder when I run an inspection?

Enable the Cycle Through Folder Images control in the Main tab of the Simulate Acquisition property page.

Q: Which image file formats are supported?

Vision Builder AI supports the following image file formats: BMP, TIFF, JPEG, JPEG2000, and PNG.

Note  JPEG2000 images are not supported on remote targets.

Q: Is there a size limit for images I want to load?

Vision Builder AI does not have an image size limit. However, the image size limit or the number of images you can cache in Vision Builder AI may be limited you the amount of available memory on your device.

Q: What is the advantage/disadvantage to caching images?

Caching images loads all images in the specified folder when the inspection is loaded. When the inspection runs, the Simulate Acquisition step takes less time to run. The disadvantage to this approach is that it can use a lot of memory to load all the images when the inspection is opened if the folder contains a large number of images. Also, if the images change during the inspection, caching them will not load the modified images.
