One of the most important aspects of setting up your imaging environment
is proper illumination. Images acquired under proper lighting conditions
make your image processing software development easier and overall
processing time faster. The following sections describe how to use the
Direct Drive lighting controller and the strobe outputs of the NI Smart
Camera to control a light.
