Installing Application Software and Driver
Before installing the NI 8242, you must install the application software and device drivers. Start
by installing the Renesas driver for the USB host controller.
Installing the Renesas Driver
Insert the separate driver DVD into the host machine and follow the onscreen instructions.
Next, install one of the following programs to develop machine vision applications:
•
NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection
(Vision Builder AI)—Interactive,
menu-driven configuration software for developing, benchmarking, and deploying
machine vision applications. You must also install NI-IMAQdx.
•
NI Vision Development Module
—Programming library for developing machine vision
and scientific imaging applications. The NI Vision Development Module requires an
application development environment—LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or Visual
Studio—and NI-IMAQdx.
Installing Vision Builder AI
Install the following software to use Vision Builder AI to develop applications.
1.
NI-IMAQdx
