IMAQ Machine Vision Function Tree
The IMAQ Machine Vision function tree ( NIMachineVision.fp )
contains separate classes corresponding to groups or types of functions.
Table 1-2 lists the IMAQ Machine Vision function types and gives a
description of each type.
Frequency
Domain
Analysis Functions for the extraction and manipulation of complex planes. Functions of
this type perform FFTs, inverse FFTs, truncation, attenuation, addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division of complex images.
Barcode A function that reads a barcode.
LCD Functions that find and read seven-segment LCD characters.
Meter Functions that return the arc information of a meter and read the meter.
Utilities Functions that return structures, and a function that returns a pointer to
predefined convolution matrices.
Obsolete Functions that are no longer necessary but may exist in older applications.
