16. If the camera is not configured for triggering using Camera Link control line 1, configure it using 

the camera manufacturer’s configuration utility. Verify the camera width and height configuration 
matches the values entered in the Image Width and Image Height spin boxes. The host VI must be 
running for the manufacturer’s configuration utility to be able to communicate with the camera.

17. Once the camera is configured, click the 

Acquire

 button on the VI front panel. Clicking 

Acquire

 

initiates a single-frame acquisition. If the camera is properly configured, it will not output a frame 
until a trigger is provided. Supply a trigger by sending a pulse on TTL I/O 0 or by clicking the 

SW Trigger

 button. Repeat this step to acquire another image.

18. Click the 

STOP

 button to stop the VI.

19. Close the VI.

Step 5. Modifying the LabVIEW FPGA Example VI to Add a Threshold

This section demonstrates how to modify the NI 1483 example VI to add thresholding.

1.

.

7.

In Windows Explorer, navigate up one folder to the NI 1483 folder. Copy the 

1-Tap 10-Bit 

Camera with Frame Trigger

 folder and rename the copy to 

1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with 

Frame Trigger and Threshold

.

8.

Close the LabVIEW Project Explorer window.

9.

In Windows Explorer, navigate to the 1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with Frame Trigger and Threshold 
folder, and double-click 

1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with Frame Trigger.lvproj

.

Project: 1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with Frame 

Trigger.lvproj

 and select 

Rename

. Rename the project to 

1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with Frame 

Trigger and Threshold.lvproj

.

11. Rename the 

1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with Frame Trigger (Host).vi

 to 

1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with 

Frame Trigger and Threshold (Host).vi

.

12. Expand the FPGA target for your device and rename the 

1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with Frame 

Trigger (FPGA).vi

 to 

1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with Frame Trigger and Threshold (FPGA).vi

.

13. Right-click the FPGA target for your device and select 

New»FIFO

.

14. In the FIFO Properties window, configure the parameters as follows:

Set the Name to 

Pixel Data 16

Set the Type to 

Target-Scoped

Set the Requested Number of Elements to 

1023

Set the Implementation to 

Block Memory

Set the Data Type to 

U16

.

15. Click 

OK

.

16. Under the FPGA target for your device, double-click 

1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with Frame Trigger 

and Threshold (FPGA).vi

.
