Connection Sequence
•
Set up the hardware
—This section explains how to connect a camera,
monitor, and power supply to the NI 1450.
•
Set up the development computer
—This section explains how to use
either Vision Builder AI or LabVIEW Real-Time with the Vision
Development Module to perform the following tasks:
–
Connect the NI 1450 to the development computer
–
Install application and driver software
–
Obtain an IP address
•
Acquire an image
—This section explains how to use either Vision
Builder AI or LabVIEW Real-Time with the Vision Development
Module to acquire an image.
Before Getting Started: Connecting the NI 1450 to a Network
Use a standard Category 5 or Category 6 Ethernet cable to connect the
NI 1450 to an Ethernet network.
If the development computer is already configured on a network, you must
configure the NI 1450 on the same network. If the development computer
is not connected to a network, you can connect the two directly using a
Category 5 or Category 6 crossover cable.
Caution
To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet installation,
do
not
use a cable longer than 100 m. If you are using a 100 Mbps Ethernet, National
Instruments recommends using a Category 5 or Category 6 shielded twisted-pair
Ethernet cable.
