For machine vision and scientific imaging applications
that require high data throughput, the National
Instruments PCIe-1429 is an image acquisition
board for base-, medium-, and full-configuration
Camera Link cameras. The NI PCIe-1429 image acquisition
board is ideal for many industrial, life science
and biomedical imaging applications. For instance,
you can use the board to perform fault analysis
by setting up a stop trigger to record images
before and after an event on the factory floor.
You can also analyze movement intricacies and
record the stimulus responses in everything from
heart valves to eye corneas.Redlake, Dalsa, Basler,
and most other camera manufacturers offer Camera
Link cameras.
