It works with the evidence.
Bring screenshots, log bundles, and recipe exports into the conversation. Ask the assistant to inspect them and explain what it finds.

Expert HelperExample question: My OV20i is activated. How do I connect my laptop and see a live image? Response excerpt: Connect power and Ethernet. Set your laptop to the camera’s subnet, then open the camera in your browser. Create and activate a recipe. Open Imaging to check focus, exposure, and lighting.
Find the cause
in your camera logs.
Attach a log bundle and ask what happened. The assistant compares inspection timings, identifies repeated problems, and gives you a concrete next check.
A missed trigger.
An explanation backed by timing.
In this demo, the PLC sends another request before the camera has finished. Expert Helper finds the pattern and turns the diagnosis into a short handover for the controls engineer.
PLC requests120 ms apart
One inspection420 ms
Synthetic demo logs. No customer data.
Expert HelperExample question: Why is my camera missing triggers? Take a look at these demo logs. Response excerpt: The requests arrive every 120 ms, but an inspection takes 420 ms. The log shows 12 requests, 3 accepted inspections, and 9 busy rejections. Check the PLC handshake so the next trigger waits until the camera is ready.
Review your recipe.
Before you run the line.
Bring a recipe export, screenshots, or a description of the settings. Work through alignment, regions of interest, lighting, and inspection choices before changing the setup.
Here, the assistant reviews a setup with part movement, tight regions, and changing exposure. It explains what to address first.
Expert HelperExample question: Parts shift by 8 mm. Alignment is off, the regions are tight, and exposure is automatic. What should I fix first? Response excerpt: 1. Fix exposure first so the image stays consistent. 2. Enable alignment to follow the part’s position. 3. Add margin around your regions, then validate the setup across the full range of movement.
Keep working in
the same conversation.
Move from the first question to the evidence, the next check, and a useful handover. The camera and constraints you have already discussed stay in context.
Expert HelperExample question: Turn that log diagnosis into a short handover for the controls engineer. Response excerpt: The PLC triggers every 120 ms while each inspection takes 420 ms, so only 3 of 12 requests were accepted. Check the TriggerReady handshake before sending the next trigger.
