V+ Arm- or Fixed-Mounted Sample
After you select the application sample, you are ready for the setup and programming of the
application. A wizard guides you through the process.
The following instructions are provided as an example of a V+ arm- or fixed-mount camera
application.

l
Adept SmartController (except for MicroV+ samples)
l
Adept robot
l
Robot gripper (end-effector)

The Arm- or Fixed-mount Sample requires that the camera be downward-mounted, either
