User Manual of Machine Vision Camera SDK Demo (Halcon)
1.1.2 Operation Procedure
Before running the demo, Halcon plugin (hAcqMVision.dll) should be copied from the
Development\ThirdPartyPlatformAdapter under the MVS installation path to the Halcon installation location.
Please be noted that the plugin used needs to be the corresponding one to the installed Halcon version. If the
64-bit version of Halcon is installed, the plugin should be copied to the 64-bit file. (The same principle is
applied to hAcqMVisionxl.dll if Halcon XL is used.)
1. Click Search Device in the initialization area to enumerate the online devices and the online devices will
be displayed in the drop-down list. Please be noted if the User ID is not blank, the device will be displayed

2. Select a device in the drop-down list.
3. Click Open Device button in the Initialization field to active the Image Acquisition field.
