Installing Application Software and Driver

Before installing the PXIe-8246, you must install the application software and device driver. National Instruments provides two options for developing machine vision applications.

• NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (Vision Builder AI)—Interactive, menu-driven configuration software for developing, benchmarking, and deploying machine vision applications. You must also install NI-IMAQdx.
• NI Vision Development Module—Programming library for developing machine vision and scientific imaging applications. The NI Vision Development Module requires an application development environment—LabVIEW and NI-IMAQdx.
