Logging Data from the XG Series

The XG VisionTerminal can log (collect) inspection results,

images, and archived data output from the XG Series

during operation.

Note

To log data, the flowchart program created in XG VisionEditor

must include either a data output step, an output image step, or

an archived output location step that specifies the [PC

program] as the destination device. For more details, see the

XG VisionEditor Reference Manual (Programming Edition).

To store images and archived data output from the XG-8000

Series as logs, Ver. 5.0 or higher is required.

Register the XG Series controller as a connection in the XG

VisionTerminal to log data from it.

From the [Connections] menu, click [Add

Connection].

The [Add Connection] menu appears.

Specify the XG Series controller to register it as a

connection.

For a USB connection

Click [USB].

For an Ethernet connection

Select [Search for Connections/Controllers], and click

[Search]. The XG Series connected to the PC appears

in the list. Check the box next to the XG Series

controller you wish to register as a connection.

Note

• Clicking [Search] will only display controllers that exist in

the same subnet.

• When there are multiple controllers connected to the

network, some of them may not show up initially. Repeat

the search as necessary.
