Create C Code

NI Vision Assistant

Create C Code

Creates C code using a wizard to implement the different steps of the script.

Note  You must have a C compiler and the NI Vision 8.2.1 Development Module or later installed to use the Create C Code function.
  • Implementation File Name—Name of the C file that implements the image processing algorithm you prototyped in the script.
  • Main File Name—Name of the C file that implements a main function, which acquires an image from a source, then calls the image processing function created in the Implementation File.

Image Source

Select the source image from the following options:

  • Image File—Creates the C code to open an image file from the hard drive.
  • Acquisition from an NI Image Acquisition device—Creates the C code to acquire an image from a camera connected to an NI image acquisition device.
  • Triggered Acquisition from an NI Image Acquisition device—Creates the C code to perform a triggered acquisition with an NI image acquisition device.
  • Acquisition from an IEEE 1394 Camera—Creates the C code to acquire an image from an IEEE 1394 camera connected to an NI image acquisition device.
Note  Vision Assistant acquires images from interface img0. If you have more than one image acquisition device installed in the computer and want to use a different interface, you must modify the interface name within the created C Code.
