NI Vision for LabWindows/CVI Function

Acquisition Functions

Acquisition functions let you perform common acquisition tasks, such as ring acquisitions, sequence acquisitions, and grabs, directly into an NI Vision image. To perform more advanced acquisitions, such as triggered acquisitions, see the NI-IMAQ Function Reference Help. You can use the Acquisition functions with the Signal I/O functions described in the NI-IMAQ Function Reference Help. Functions in this section require NI-IMAQ 2.2 or higher.

The following table lists the Acquisition functions. The functions in the Acquisition class are grouped according to the types of operations they perform. The first column contains the name of the class. The second column contains names of individual function panels. Each Acquisition function panel represents one function.
