(Cognex: Natick, MA) -- Cognex Corp. has announced a new option to deliver its VisionView operator interface to any VGA display. VisionView VGA is a low-cost DIN rail-mount adapter that provides direct VGA output for the VisionView application software, allowing operators to connect to any size VGA monitor without the need for a PC. In addition to supporting VisionView VGA, a new software release, VisionView 1.3 supports the TrainFont interactive control for run-time font training of optical character recognition and optical character verification (OCR/OCV) applications and allows VisionView to work with Cognex DataMan 200 industrial ID readers in addition to In-Sight vision systems.

“These new enhancements give users more flexibility to tailor their operator interface to suit their personal preferences and factory environments,” says Bhaskar Banerjee, business unit manager for Vision Systems. “New hardware and software options plus the ability to view results from up to nine vision systems simultaneously make VisionView the most powerful tool for monitoring and controlling vision applications directly from the factory floor.”
