Cognex In-Sight SDK

As of versiondog 9.0, you have the option of carrying out an upload using Cognex In-Sight SDK.

If either the sensor is offline or the user has the appropriate rights to run a job online, it is possible to create a backup of the running job (the one on the device).

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.
