Data Sheet

The new National Instruments CVS-145x Compact Vision Systems extend the power of LabVIEW Real-Time to a new rugged machine vision package that withstands the harsh environments common in robotics, automated test, and industrial inspection systems. NI CVS-145x systems offer unprecedented I/O capabilities and network connectivity for distributed machine vision applications. They use FireWire (IEEE 1394) technology, compatible with more than 40 cameras with a wide range of functionality, performance, and price. In addition, you can connect up to three cameras to one CVS-145x to significantly lower the price of your deployed system. You can also integrate a CVS-145x with the industrial measurement and control capabilities of NI Compact FieldPoint. To program a CVS-145x, you have the choice of configuring your machine vision application quickly with Vision Builder for Automated Inspection, or programming your application with LabVIEW and the Vision Development Module.
