The NI LabVIEW Real-Time Vision Development Bundle is a LabVIEW add-on that includes all the software you need to program your real-time machine vision applications for NI Embedded Vision Systems, NI Compact Vision Systems, and NI Smart Cameras. The bundle includes the following:
-NI Vision Development Module
-LabVIEW Real-Time Module
-LabVIEW Application Builder
Using LabVIEW graphical programming and the Vision Development Module, you can develop your highly customized real-time machine vision applications on a desktop PC and then download the program to run on your real-time target. You also have the option to develop your own custom image processing algorithms, optimize your inspection for speed, or take advantage of the large selection of add-ons that complement the LabVIEW environment.
The Vision Development Module includes the NI Vision Assistant, an interactive prototyping environment that generates ready-to-run code. The module also features NI Vision Acquisition Software, which you can use to acquire, display, save, and monitor images from GigE Vision, IEEE 1394, and DirectShow USB devices; Camera Link, analog, and parallel digital cameras; and NI Smart Cameras.
You can purchase all of the modules you need separately or through NI Developer Suite, a modular product offering with which you can select software components based on your application needs. With an NI Developer Suite subscription, you receive a new set of CDs with the most recent software version for each product in the suite four times a year as well as direct access to technical support from NI applications engineers via phone and e-mail.
