NI 1483R User Guide and Specifications

The NI 1483R is an image acquisition device that supports Base, Medium, Full, and Extended Full 
(80-bit) configuration Camera Link-compatible cameras. The NI 1483R is comprised of an 
NI FlexRIO

TM

 FPGA module and an NI FlexRIO adapter module (NI 1483). This document explains 

how to install and configure the NI 1483R, how to acquire images using a LabVIEW FPGA example 
VI, and lists the specifications for the NI 1483.

Figure 1.
