Components of an Automotive Vision System

The Interface Adapter Module is designed for use in a system that might require hardware, drivers, and software to optimize Interface Adapter Module for your application. Use the minimum required Interface Adapter Module system components as a starting point for building your system.

Note A system and the surrounding environment must meet any requirements defined in the relevant specifications documents.

Table 3. Minimum Required Interface Adapter Module System Components

Component	Description and Recommendations
PXI chassis	A PXI chassis houses the Interface Adapter Module and supplies power for Interface Adapter Module functions.
PXI controller or PXI Remote Control Module	You can install a PXI controller or a PXI remote control (MXI) module depending on your system requirements. These components, installed in the same PXI chassis as the Interface Adapter Module, interface with the instrument using NI device drivers.
FlexRIO Multiprotocol Vision Carrier Module	The Interface Adapter Module carrier.
Interface Adapter Modules	Interface adapter modules installed within the carrier to provide signal I/O. Recommended interface adapter modules: IVN-14811 FPD-Link IV interface adapter modules
Cables and Accessories	Cables and accessories allow connectivity to/from your instrument for measurements. Refer to Cables and Accessories for recommended cables and accessories and guidance.
FlexRIO Driver	Instrument driver software that provides functions to interact with the carrier and execute measurements using the carrier. Note For optimal performance, use the most current version of FlexRIO with the Interface Adapter Module.
NI Applications	FlexRIO offers driver support for the following applications: LabVIEW C/C++
