The National Instruments PCI-8254R Image Acquisition Board (Part Number: 779303-01) is designed to facilitate the integration and control of multiple IEEE 1394 cameras without the need for additional I/O boards or custom hardware solutions. This versatile board features 29 digital I/O lines, allowing users to enhance its capabilities through the optional integration of reconfigurable I/O technology using the NI LabVIEW FPGA module. The device is complemented by the NI-IMAQ library, which provides comprehensive functions for interfacing with image acquisition devices, including camera control and data management. With NI-IMAQ I/O capabilities, users can efficiently model, benchmark, and deploy a wide range of automated visual inspection tasks. The PCI-8254R supports seamless configuration of inspection processes, making it suitable for sophisticated programming environments that do not require extensive coding expertise. The system enables powerful image analysis and decision-making processes based on individual task outcomes while allowing users to export designed inspections to LabVIEW. The included module features NI Vision and NI Vision Assistant, comprising an extensive library with over 270 functions for image acquisition, processing, and analysis. Engineered for robust performance, the PCI-8254R measures 4.2 inches by 6.9 inches, consumes 18 watts of power, and has a weight of 0.25 pounds. It is compatible with NI Vision Acquisition Software and is backed by a 2-3 year warranty. For more detailed specifications and pricing, please contact a sales representative.
