Configuring the System for Vision

Follow these steps to configure the target system for Vision.

Convert a supported Network Interface Card (NIC) to wRTOS control:

See Converting a Windows Device to wRTOS for instructions.

All NICs supported by wRTOS will also work with Vision (see wRTOS Supported NICs for the complete list).

Configure the wRTOS Subsystem:

  1. On process startup, configure the external MSpace in Task Manager based on your application's memory requirements.
  1. Open wRTOS Settings and do the following:
  2. Add a new wRTOS interface. For more information, see Interfaces.

Note: The Vision sample uses the name RtGigE_01_Nic. If you specify a different name, you must manually replace RtGigE_01_Nic with that custom name in the sample.

  1. Configure the IPv4 address that you would want to use. For more information, see Interfaces.
  2. Enable a filter on the Receive Queue of the new interface and set the filter to RtgvFilter.rtdll, which can be found in C:\Program Files\IntervalZero\MaxRT\wRTOS\bin. The Receive Queue must be the one used by the TCP/IP Stack, which is Receive Queue 0 by default. For more information, see Interfaces.
  3. For high-resolution cameras, enable Jumbo Packets and set the interface's Maximum Packet Size to 9014. For more information, see Interfaces.
  4. Restart the TCP/IP and NL2 Stacks for your changes to take effect.

The system is now set up to run a Vision application.

Note: The TCP/IP Stack must be started before you can run your Vision application.
