NI CVS-1459RT Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the features and components of the National Instruments
CVS-1459RT Compact Vision System.
About the NI CVS-1459RT
The NI CVS-1459RT is a real-time imaging system that acquires, processes, and displays
images from USB3 Vision cameras. The NI CVS-1459RT also provides multiple digital
input/output (I/O) options for communicating with external devices to configure and start an
inspection and to indicate results.
An Ethernet connection between the NI CVS-1459RT and a development computer allows you
to display measurement results and status information and to configure the NI CVS-1459RT
settings. When configured, the NI CVS-1459RT can run applications without a connection to the
development computer.
Hardware Overview
The NI CVS-1459RT front panel consists of a VGA connector, RJ50 serial port, two USB 2.0
ports, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet connector, and two USB3 Vision ports.
The NI CVS-1459RT front panel also includes LEDs for communicating system status and a
44-pin Digital I/O port. The Digital I/O port offers 8 isolated inputs, 8 isolated outputs, 2
bidirectional differential I/O (RS-422) or single-ended input lines that can be used with a
quadrature encoder, and 8 bidirectional TTL lines.
