modules: LabVIEW Real-Time Module, Vision Development Module, and
Vision Acquisition Software.
LabVIEW Real-Time Module
The LabVIEW Real-Time Module combines LabVIEW graphical
programming with the power of Real-Time (RT) Series hardware, such as
the NI CVS-1450 Series, enabling you to build deterministic, real-time
systems. You develop VIs in LabVIEW and embed the VIs on RT targets.
The RT target runs VIs without a user interface and offers a stable platform
for real-time VIs. For more information about the LabVIEW Real-Time
Module, refer to the
LabVIEW Help
.
NI Vision Development Module
The NI Vision Development Module is an image acquisition, processing,
and analysis library of more than 270 functions for the following common
machine vision tasks:
•
Pattern matching
•
Particle analysis
•
Gauging
•
Taking measurements
•
Grayscale, color, and binary image display
With the NI Vision Development Module you can acquire, display, and
store images as well as perform image analysis and processing. 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.
