视觉论坛的各种资源，除了视觉相关的模块有使用外，大部分的都不会使用，所以仅提供资源不能提供技术支持。资源的下载地址一般会同时提供NI官方地址和百度网盘的下载地址。某些工具包NI的地址失效或没有NI的下载地址，那视觉论坛也没有办法，只能尝试使用百度网盘地址下载；如果百度网盘的下载地址失效过期，可联系论坛客服更新。现在NI的下载服务器对我国IP地址不是很友好，有些时候速度很慢或大的资源下载很容易出错，这样会造成安装过程各种类型报错而无法安装。建议在下载完成后，对下载资源做校验和验证（NI一般会提供MD5或SHA256等），与官方或视觉论坛提供的校验和对比，一致就可以安装，如果不一致，则需要重新下载。视觉论坛早期下载的资源，那时候NI没有这么多限制，基本上都是正常下载的资源；后期下载的资源，都与NI的正确校验和对比过，保证是正确的资源才上传到百度网盘，所以百度网盘的资源基本上是正确的。校验和工具下载地址：

Accessing the Help
See Additional Resources.
Finding Examples
See Additional Resources.
Automating the Installation of NI Products
You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes.
If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.6.2, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.6.2 separately before you install NI software.
For more information about automating the installation of NI products, refer to the following KnowledgeBase articles:
For more information about silent installations of individual NI products, refer to KB 4CJDP38M, Customize and Automate Installation of a Single Installer.
For more information about silent installations of NI products in a suite, such as NI Developer Suite, refer to KB 4GGGDQH0, Customize and Automate Installation of a Suited Installer.
To determine what version of NI Installers your product contains, refer to KB 4CJDR18M, Determine Type and Version of My National Instruments Installer.
Software Requirements for Migrating an Inspection to LabVIEW
To migrate an inspection to LabVIEW, Vision Builder AI 2020 requires LabVIEW 2020 or later and NI Vision Development Module 2020 or later.
Some Vision Builder AI steps require additional software to successfully migrate an inspection to LabVIEW.
Refer to the following table for software requirements to migrate specific steps. Driver versions must support the target version of LabVIEW for migration.

| Read/Write I/O (NI-DAQmx) | NI-DAQmx |
| Read/Write I/O (Vision RIO) | NI-IMAQ I/O for PCIe-8237R and PCIe-825xR boards, and Compact Vision Systems
NI Industrial Controller Device Drivers for industrial controllers |
Note: NI-IMAQ, NI-IMAQdx, and NI-IMAQ I/O are available on the NI Vision Acquisition Software DVD included with Vision Builder AI. The NI Industrial Controller Device Drivers DVD is provided separately with industrial controller devices. To download NI-DAQmx, visit ni.com/downloads/products/.
Software Requirements for the Run LabVIEW VI Step
The Run LabVIEW VI step in Vision Builder AI 2020 supports VIs saved in LabVIEW 2020 or earlier.
Using NI Software with Microsoft Windows 10
Microsoft Windows 10 is the latest version of the Windows operating system and features significant changes compared to previous versions.

Vision Builder AI supports the following types of image acquisition and I/O devices:
NI image acquisition devices
IEEE 1394 industrial digital cameras
GigE Vision cameras
DirectShow-compatible USB cameras
IP cameras
Digital or analog I/O from NI data acquisition (DAQ) devices
Serial devices
Note: You must install driver software to acquire images from an image acquisition device connected to the development computer.
NI Image Acquisition Devices
This version of Vision Builder AI supports NI image acquisition devices that require NI-IMAQ driver version 4.6.4 or later. Specific devices may require later versions.
Note: If you are using an image acquisition device, you must install NI Vision Acquisition Software before you install the image acquisition device. NI Vision Acquisition Software gives you access to Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), which is software you can use to configure NI devices.
IEEE 1394 Cameras, GigE Vision Cameras, DirectShow-Compatible USB Cameras
This version of Vision Builder AI supports IEEE 1394 cameras, GigE Vision cameras, USB3 Vision, DirectShow-compatible USB cameras, and requires NI-IMAQdx driver version 3.3 or later. Specific devices may require later versions.
To acquire an image from one of these camera types when the camera is connected to the host computer, use the Acquire Image (1394, GigE, or USB) step. The Acquire Image (1394, GigE, or USB) step requires NI-IMAQdx, which can be installed from the NI Vision Acquisition Software DVD included with Vision Builder AI.
You must configure an IEEE 1394 camera to use the NI-IMAQdx driver. Complete the following steps to use MAX to configure an IEEE 1394 camera to use the NI-IMAQdx driver.
Launch MAX.
In the MAX configuration tree, expand Devices and Interfaces to obtain a list of installed devices.
Expand NI-IMAQdx Devices to obtain a list of available cameras.
Right-click the camera and select Driver»NI-IMAQdx IIDC Digital Camera.
NI Analog and Digital I/O Devices
This version of Vision Builder AI supports digital and analog I/O from any NI data acquisition (DAQ) device using NI-DAQmx Global Virtual Channels. To support NI DAQ devices, Vision Builder AI requires NI-DAQmx 8.0 or later.
Serial Communication
To support serial communication, Vision Builder AI requires NI-VISA 2.6.0 or later, which is included with Vision Builder AI. You can use the serial ports built into the PC or one of the following NI serial interfaces: NI PCI-232/x, NI PXI-8420/x, or NI PXI-8422/x. You do not need to install NI-VISA on the PC to use the serial port on a remote target.
Deployment Policy for Vision Builder AI
Pursuant to the National Instruments Software License Agreement, Vision Builder AI software is licensed to run on only one machine. Deployed applications that use Vision Builder AI require that Vision Builder AI be installed and licensed on each host machine. Therefore, you must purchase a separate Vision Builder AI license for each host machine.
