National Instruments Application Software
This section describes National Instruments application software packages
you can use to analyze and process the images you acquire with the
CVS-1450 device.
Vision Builder for Automated Inspection
NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (AI) is configurable machine
vision software that you can use to prototype, benchmark, and deploy
machine vision applications. Creating applications in Vision Builder AI
does not require programming. However, Vision Builder AI applications
are scalable to the LabVIEW Real-Time Module.
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 Real-Time Module with the Vision
Development Module
The LabVIEW Real-Time Module combines LabVIEW graphical
programming with the power of Real-Time (RT) Series hardware, such as
the 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.
The 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
