    The NI-IMAQ software does not perform any image analysis. For image analysis functionality, refer to the National Instruments Application Software section earlier in this chapter. NI-IMAQ has both high-level and low-level functions for maximum flexibility and performance.

  • Page 15: Figure 1-1. The Relationship Between The Programming Environment

    Chapter 1 Introduction Any platform that supports NI-IMAQ also supports NI-DAQ and a variety of National Instruments DAQ boards, so your PCI/PXI-1407 and NI-IMAQ development can integrate with National Instruments DAQ products. Whether you are using conventional programming languages or National Instruments software, your application uses the NI-IMAQ driver software, as illustrated in Figure 1-1.

  • Page 16: Optional Equipment

    Chapter 1 Introduction Optional Equipment National Instruments offers a variety of products for use with your PCI/PXI-1407, including other National Instruments DAQ devices for enhanced triggering, timing, or input/output. For more specific information about these products, refer to your National Instruments catalogue or web site, or call the office nearest you.
