Architecture¶
LabVIEW is a graphical programming environment. XIMEA LabVIEW Demo Application Source Code Package offers Virtual Instruments (VIs) for camera control and image acquisition (E.g. GetImage, SetTrigger, StartAcquisition).
Installation¶
Installation contains of two steps: Installation of LabVIEW and installation of the XIMEA LabVIEW Demo Application Source Code Package.
Installation of LabVIEW¶
- Download LabView 2010 from National Instruments site
- Start installation on CURRERA or PC.
Note: To run compiled application at least the LabVIEW Runtime has to be installed. Can be downloaded from NI here
Installation of XIMEA LabVIEW Demo Application Source Code Package¶
- Download XIMEA API Software Package
- Installation of the LabVIEW demo is required
- Work with XIMEA's Visual Instruments in Your project. They are stored in C:\XIMEA\VisionLibraries\LabView\VIs.
Sample¶
The sample shows image acquisition and display on the Screen VI.It is divided into parts based on specific VIs:
- Setting acquisition mode
- Image capture()
- Setting camera trigger mode
- Off
- Software (by PingTrigger)
- Hardware using Rising Pulse on Input GPI1
Interface¶
To work with camera sensor there are many specific Virtual Instruments (VIs).
VIs for image capture, camera configuration, digital input/output setting, etc...
