This chapter describes the NI PCI-1410 (NI 1410) device and its software
programming options.
The NI 1410 is a high-accuracy, monochrome image acquisition device for
PCI that supports RS-170, CCIR, NTSC, and PAL video standards, as well
as nonstandard cameras from any of four input sources. The NI 1410
features a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that converts video
signals to digital formats. The NI 1410 acquires images in real time and
stores them in onboard frame memory or transfers them directly to system
memory.
The NI 1410 is easy to install and configure. The NI 1410 ships with
NI Vision Acquisition Software, which includes NI-IMAQ, the National
Instruments driver software you can use to directly control the NI 1410 and
other National Instruments image acquisition devices. With NI-IMAQ, you
can quickly and easily start the applications without having to program the
device at the register level.
As a stand-alone device, the NI 1410 supports four general-purpose control
lines that are configurable to generate precise timing signals for controlling
camera acquisition. The NI 1410 also supports four video sources and four
external I/O lines to use as triggers or digital I/O lines.
Easily synchronizing several functions to a common trigger or timing event
is a common challenge with image acquisition devices. The NI 1410 uses
its Real-Time System Integration (RTSI) bus to solve this problem. The
RTSI bus uses the National Instruments RTSI bus interface and ribbon
cable to route additional timing and trigger signals between the NI 1410
and National Instruments DAQ, Motion Control, or other image acquisition
devices. The RTSI bus can even synchronize multiple image acquisition
hardware captures.
