National Instruments NI Vision NI 17xx 用户手册

The NI Vision Acquisition Software CD contains Measurement & 
Automation Explorer (MAX) configuration software and NI-IMAQ driver 
software.

Use MAX to configure the NI Smart Camera. You can set the IP address, 
update software on the smart camera, configure triggering, and set up 
the lighting features. For more information about MAX, refer to the 
Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for NI-IMAQ

NI-IMAQ is the interface path between the application software and the 
smart camera. NI-IMAQ also controls the I/O and image acquisition on the 
smart camera.

NI-IMAQ includes an extensive library of VIs you can call from LabVIEW. 
These VIs include routines for video configuration, continuous and 
single-shot image acquisition, and trigger control.

The NI-IMAQ driver software performs all functions necessary for 
acquiring and saving images but does not perform image analysis. 
NI-IMAQ features both high-level and low-level functions. A function that 
acquires images in single-shot or continuous mode is an example of a 
high-level function. A function that requires advanced understanding of 
image acquisition, such as configuring an image sequence, is an example 
of a low-level function.

For information about using NI-IMAQ to configure an acquisition, refer to 
the NI-IMAQ VI Reference Help.
