NI 17xx Smart Camera User Manual
Software Overview
Developing applications with the NI Smart Camera requires one of the following software
options:
The installation and configuration process for each development environment is different. Refer
to
Getting Started with the NI 17xx Smart Camera
for installation and configuration instructions.
The following sections describe the software options. For detailed information about individual
software packages, refer to the documentation specific to the package.
Note
Vision Builder for Automated Inspection and NI Vision Acquisition Software
are included with the smart camera. LabVIEW, the LabVIEW Real-Time Module,
and the NI Vision Development Module are sold separately.
NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection
Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (Vision Builder AI) is configurable machine vision
software you can use to configure the NI Smart Camera and prototype, benchmark, and deploy
machine vision applications.
Creating applications in Vision Builder AI does not require programming. Vision Builder AI
allows you to easily configure and benchmark a sequence of visual inspection steps, as well as
deploy the visual inspection system for automated inspection. With Vision Builder AI, you can
perform powerful visual inspection tasks and make decisions based on the results of individual
tasks. You can also migrate your configured inspection to LabVIEW, extending the capabilities
of your applications if necessary.
LabVIEW
LabVIEW is a graphical programming environment for developing flexible and scalable
applications. To develop machine vision applications with the NI Smart Camera and LabVIEW,
you must have the following add-on modules: LabVIEW Real-Time Module, NI Vision
Development Module, and Vision Acquisition Software.
