Q: Where can I find the Vision NXG Help documents?
A: You can find information and detailed help on Vision NXG functions in the NI Vision Core Manual.
Q: Where can I find the Vision NXG Examples?
A: They are located in the Learning Tab of NXG under Analysis > Vision.
Q: What are the new vision features available in NXG?
A: There are a few new features:
Q: How do I install vision software for NXG?
A: Vision Development Module 2017 SP1 and Vision Acquisition Software (VAS) 17.5 are supported in LabVIEW NXG version 2.0 and later. You can install support for Vision through the NI Package Manager.
A few considerations:
Note: WinMIF installer is part of the latest NI Vision Development 2018 installer.
Note: There is currently no FPGA or Real-Time support since it is not yet available in NXG.
Q: Which hardware is supported in NXG with the Vision Acquisition Driver?
A: Only the NI-IMAQdx driver is supported in LabVIEW NXG. Below is a list of supported hardware:
If you are currently using the NI-IMAQ driver and would like to port your application over to LabVIEW NXG, you can now migrate to the NI-IMAQdx driver if you are using the supported hardware and software. Refer to Converting a Camera Link Application from the NI-IMAQ API to the NI-IMAQdx API.
Q: How do I configure my vision hardware in NXG?
A: In terms of configuring the connected cameras, VAS NXG will follow the same user work flow for configuring devices in NXG that other groups are using. This will be done through the use of Soft Front Panel (SFP) configuration windows which will include the following features:
With this functionality, users will be able to detect, configure and troubleshoot their cameras from within the NXG environment without needing to switch to NI-MAX. However, NI-MAX will still be installed and will still be necessary for the following use cases:
Q: How do I migrate my existing vision application from LabVIEW to LabVIEW NXG?
A: The process of migration will be the same as any other LabVIEW application. To learn more about the NXG Conversion Utility, refer to the Transitioning to LabVIEW NXG document.
Q: What are some caveats of migrating?
A: There are few changes that have been made during the migration of the Vision API from CG to NXG. Those changes were either to improve the API or align with other LabVIEW APIs:
