Cognex In-Sight SDK
It is also possible to carry out an upload using Cognex In-Sight SDK.

Prerequisite: Cognex In-Sight Explorer/SDK 5.8.0 or a newer version must be installed on the server or agent.
The sensors In-Sight Micro 1020, In-Sight 2000 series, In-Sight 7010, 7020, 7230, 7430 and 7432 are not supported by the SDK.
