Vision Assistant generates a builder file, which is a text description
containing a recipe of the machine vision and image processing functions.
This builder file provides a guide you can use for developing applications
into any development environment, such as LabWindows/CVI or Visual
Basic, using the Vision Assistant machine vision and image processing
libraries. Using the LabVIEW VI creation wizard, Vision Assistant can
create LabVIEW VI diagrams that perform the prototype you created in
Vision Assistant. Using LabVIEW, you can add functionality to this
generated VI.
Integration with DAQ and Motion Control
Platforms that support NI-IMAQ also support NI-DAQ and a variety of
National Instruments DAQ devices. This allows for integration between
image acquisition devices and DAQ devices.
Use National Instruments high-performance stepper and servo motion
control products with pattern matching software in inspection and guidance
applications, such as locating alignment markers on semiconductor wafers,
guiding robotic arms, inspecting the quality of manufactured parts, and
locating cells.
