Hardware Installation - National Instruments CVS-1450 Series Getting Started

Hardware Installation

Figure 1 illustrates the sequence for setting up the NI CVS-1450 device.
The following instructions are for general installation. Refer to the documentation provided by your
computer manufacturer for specific instructions and warnings. Refer to the
typical power requirements for the NI CVS-1450 device.
Connecting a Camera and Monitor to the NI CVS-1450 Device
Before connecting a camera and monitor to the NI CVS-1450 device, make sure that all NI CVS-1450
device DIP switches are in the OFF position.
To connect an IEEE 1394 camera and a monitor to the NI CVS-1450 device, refer to Figure 2 while
completing the following steps:
1. Connect the VGA cable from the monitor to the VGA port on the NI CVS-1450 device.
2. Plug the IEEE 1394 cable into one of the IEEE 1394a ports on the NI CVS-1450 device. Plug the
other end of the cable into the IEEE 1394 port on the camera.
If your camera requires an external power supply, connect it to the camera, and verify that the
camera is powered on.
Note
To maintain signal integrity, the IEEE 1394 cable length must be no longer than 4.5 m.
3. Plug in and power on the monitor.
