National Instruments machine vision hardware and software help you develop a variety of applications ranging from inspecting automotive parts to verifying pharmaceutical packaging. For industrial applications, choose the NI Compact Vision System, which delivers more power than three smart cameras. For PCI and PXI vision applications, use frame grabbers available for analog, digital, Camera Link, and FireWire cameras. Choose from two types of software to create your machine vision application. Nonprogrammers can use NI Vision Assistant to quickly and easily configure their machine vision solution. In addition, the NI Vision Development Module provides more than 200 image processing and scientific imaging functions that are available for use in programming languages such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, C++, and Visual Basic. Both software options include tools for pattern matching, OCR, color matching, gauging, and edge detection.
