NI-IMAQ™ VI Reference Help
June 2008, 370162K-01
The NI-IMAQ VI Reference Help is for NI-IMAQ driver software users. The NI-IMAQ VI Library, a series of virtual instruments (VIs) for using LabVIEW with National Instruments image acquisition devices, is included with the NI-IMAQ driver software.
The NI-IMAQ VI Library also includes several basic NI Vision VIs. NI Vision is an image processing and analysis library that consists of more than 250 VIs for use with LabVIEW. If you use these included basic VIs, you can later upgrade the programs to use NI Vision without any changes to the image acquisition VIs.
NI-IMAQ VIs give you the basic tools to perform the following functions:
- Load information about devices and cameras from a configuration file.
- Select a video channel.
- Adjust the acquisition parameters.
- Start or stop an acquisition.
- Transfer an image from device memory to an NI Vision image buffer.
- Monitor and control the device trigger lines.
