Getting Started with the
NI 17xx Smart Camera
The National Instruments 17xx Smart Camera combines an image
sensor and a high-performance processor to return either
inspection results or images. While a typical industrial camera
acquires and transmits images through a standard camera bus for
processing on another device, the smart camera performs both
acquisition and processing operations directly on the smart camera.
This document describes how to set up and configure the smart
camera hardware, configure the IP address, install software, and
acquire an initial image.
Refer to the NI 17xx Smart Camera User Manual for information
about specific features and specifications of the smart camera.
