Installation

• Insert the NI Vision Acquisition Software installation CD in the CD-ROM drive.

• If you do not have autorun enabled, double-click autorun.exe. If you have autorun enabled, autorun.exe runs automatically.

• Follow the onscreen instructions.
  
  

Configuring NI-IMAQ

• Install your image acquisition device, and connect the camera. Refer to the device documentation for specific hardware installation instructions.

• Run MAX.
  
  

• Double-click the MAX icon on the desktop. You can use MAX to modify camera properties. Once you have saved these properties, they become the default settings for all NI-IMAQ applications.

• Expand Devices and Interfaces and NI-IMAQ Devices to display a list of the image acquisition devices installed on your computer.
  
  

• Select a camera file, and acquire an image.
  
  
  

• Use the Snap button to acquire and display a single image with the image acquisition device.

• Use the Grab button to acquire images continuously. A grab allows you to focus the camera.
  
  

• Click the plus sign next to the image acquisition device to expand the menu tree and list the available channels or ports. Right-click the channel or port to display a list of available cameras.

• Select the appropriate camera type from the list. Camera type selection varies according to the image acquisition device installed.

• To change the camera settings, modify the parameters at the bottom of the image viewer panel.

• You can acquire an image in the following ways:
  
  
  

Configuring a Remote Image Acquisition Device

• Launch MAX.

• In the Configuration tree, expand Remote Systems.

• Expand the appropriate system.

• Expand Devices and Interfaces.
