Feature Enhancements and Improvements

Linux Player

• We’re excited to announce Linux Player - please read the articles below to learn more about what Linux Player is supported on and what Linux Player supports.

You can download Linux Player here.

Player Enhancements

• Support for Windows path variables (such as %APPDATA%) in the environment variable value to customize the folder location that Player users for persistent storage. For more info, see this article.

Device Enhancements

• On the Desktop Player, users will notice support for additional foot pedal devices.

Vision Improvements

• On the app trigger editor, users will notice the snapshot uploaded event where they can choose where to store a snapshot. Previously, they would need to figure out a different method to store images. This will make it easier for users to take pictures and save them.
• In the app editor, when configuring a video trigger, you can start, terminate, or save the video recording with this trigger. Previously, there wasn't a save video trigger. This should allow users to save video of a quality defect to better identify issues in their processes.

• For Allied Vision cameras, users can utilize a retry mechanism in case of driver failures/camera busy.

Feature Deprecations

• Deprecate the Omega OSMINI-USB temperature sensor driver. The device has been discontinued by the manufacturer.

Bugs Fixes, Security, and Performance Improvements

• Fixes an issue where auto update may fail if the update package is locked by another process.

• Fixes an issue where state of the app execution wasn’t persisted when switching to a different Tulip instance through the “Connect New Server“ screen.

• Fixes the 'Error checking for updates' error when starting player from downloads directory on the MacOS Player.
