NI CVS-1459RT Overview
Using the NI Vision Development Module, imaging novices and experts can program the most
basic or complicated image applications without knowledge of particular algorithm
implementations.
NI Vision Assistant, which is included with the NI Vision Development Module, is an interactive
prototyping tool for machine vision and scientific imaging developers. With Vision Assistant,
you can prototype vision applications quickly and test how various vision image processing
functions work. Using the Vision Assistant LabVIEW VI creation wizard, you can create
LabVIEW VI block diagrams that perform the prototype you created in Vision Assistant. You
can use them in LabVIEW to add functionality to the generated VI.
For information about how to use the NI Vision Development Module with LabVIEW, refer to
the

NI Vision Acquisition Software
The NI CVS-1459RT ships with the latest version of NI Vision Acquisition Software, which
contains all of the drivers in the NI Vision product line. With NI Vision Acquisition Software,
you can quickly and easily start your applications without having to program the device at the
register level.
NI Vision Acquisition Software has an extensive library of functions—such as routines for video
configuration, continuous and single shot image acquisition, memory buffer allocation, trigger
control, and device configuration—that you can call from the application development
environment.
NI Vision Acquisition Software contains the following software for use with the
NI CVS-1459RT:
•
NI-IMAQdx
—Controls USB3 Vision cameras connected to the NI CVS-1459RT.
NI-IMAQdx includes an extensive library of VIs you can call from LabVIEW. These VIs
include routines for video configuration, continuous and single-shot image acquisition,
trigger control, and register-level camera configuration. NI-IMAQdx software performs all
functions necessary for acquiring and saving images.
•
NI-IMAQ I/O
—Controls the reconfigurable digital I/O on the NI CVS-1459RT.
•
NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (NI MAX)
—Use MAX to configure the
NI CVS-1459RT.
