In-Sight Spreadsheet Standard

The In-Sight Spreadsheet Standard class gives new In-Sight users an overview of the hardware and software used by In-Sight Vision Systems. With the focus on getting the most from the In-Sight Explorer spreadsheet user interface, students learn how to walk through the process of setting up a vision application using spreadsheet best practices.

The spreadsheet interface uses intuitive tools and traditional spreadsheet functions allowing students to focus on solving their application quickly and effectively. The spreadsheet interface allows students to access even more tools and functionality through the powerful, yet easy to use environment.
