Writing a Client Program

When you install Vision Development module, the nivision.h, NIIMAQdx.h, and nivisionutility.h headers become available. Any client program that invokes APIs from Vision Development Module requires the nivision.h header. Any client program that invokes APIs from Vision Acquisition Software requires the NIIMAQdx.h header.

The nivision.h header includes the following:

• CVI function declaration (Import functions)
• Forward structure declaration
• Structure definition
• Enumeration definition
• Intrinsic data type declaration
• Error codes

Build the project and transfer any executable and dependent images to the RT target.
