Lighting
One of the most important aspects of setting up your imaging environment is proper
illumination. Images acquired under proper lighting conditions make your image processing
software development easier and overall processing time faster. The following sections describe
how to use the Direct Drive lighting controller and the strobe outputs of the NI Smart Camera to
control a light.
