# Irayple

iRayple industrial cameras require the vendor’s **Machine Vision Platform** installation. Once the driver stack is installed and the camera works in the vendor viewer, you can connect it in AugeLab Studio.

## Quick start

1. Install the iRayple **Machine Vision Platform**.
2. Verify live view in the vendor tool.
3. (GigE) Set a stable IP and confirm the camera is reachable.
4. Open AugeLab Studio and use the iRayple camera block/plugin.

## Requirements

* iRayple camera (GigE/USB, depending on model)
* Power (external power supply or PoE, depending on model)
* For GigE: Ethernet cable and a GigE-capable network adapter (a switch is optional)

## Install the vendor platform

Download and install the iRayple machine vision platform from the vendor download center:

* `https://www.irayple.com/en/serviceSupport/downloadCenter/18?p=17`

After installation, confirm you can start acquisition and see a live image in the iRayple software tools.

## Connect in AugeLab Studio

1. Close the iRayple viewer/tools (so the camera is not locked by another app).
2. Open AugeLab Studio and add the **iRayple Camera** block (or iRayple plugin blocks).
3. Select your camera and start acquisition.

<summary>Troubleshooting</summary>

* **Camera visible in vendor tool but not in Studio**: close the vendor tool and retry.
* **GigE camera not discovered**: ensure PC and camera are on the same subnet; try a direct Ethernet connection.
* **Unstable stream**: reduce resolution/FPS; use a dedicated NIC; avoid Wi‑Fi and congested networks.
