Software Overview

Programming the IMAQ 1410 requires the NI-IMAQ driver software for
controlling the hardware. National Instruments also offers the following
application software packages for analyzing and processing your acquired
images.

•

Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (AI)

—Allows you to

configure solutions to common inspection tasks.

•

National Instruments Vision Development Module

—Provides

customized control over hardware and algorithms.

The following sections provide an overview of the driver software and the
application software. For detailed information about individual software
packages, refer to the documentation specific to each package.
