NI 5431 Composite Video Generator
Benchmark

This example VI is designed to demonstrate the flexibility and functionality of the video data calculation software toolkit. It does not support the generation of a video signal using a dedicated hardware device.

You can use this VI as a benchmark to measure the time needed by the PC used to calculate the data corresponding to a specific video waveform. To use this VI, follow these steps:

  1. Select your Video format, then run the VI.
  2. Load a color bitmap image using the Load Image control.
  3. Click the Generate Boolean control.

The VI will then compute all the data corresponding to the selected Video format and then return the computation time in the Time (ms) indicator. Optionally, you can keep the calculated data and/or display the calculated data on the graph by activating the Display and Keep Data boolean controls.
