Set up the hardware—This section explains how to connect a camera,
monitor, and power supply to the NI 1450.
Set up the development computer—This section explains how to use
either Vision Builder AI or LabVIEW Real-Time with the Vision
Development Module to perform the following tasks:
Connect the NI 1450 to the development computer
Install application and driver software
Obtain an IP address
Acquire an image—This section explains how to use either Vision
Builder AI or LabVIEW Real-Time with the Vision Development
Module to acquire an image.
Before Getting Started: Connecting the NI 1450 to a Network
Use a standard Category 5 or Category 6 Ethernet cable to connect the
NI 1450 to an Ethernet network.
If the development computer is already configured on a network, you must
configure the NI 1450 on the same network. If the development computer
is not connected to a network, you can connect the two directly using a
Category 5 or Category 6 crossover cable.
Caution To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet installation,
do not use a cable longer than 100 m. If you are using a 100 Mbps Ethernet, National
Instruments recommends using a Category 5 or Category 6 shielded twisted-pair
Ethernet cable.
