PCIE-8231

Image Acquisition from GigE Vision Cameras NI PCIe-8231, NI PCIe-8235, NI PXIe-8234 NEW! • Gigabit Ethernet controllers • Up to 100 MB/s transfer rates per port • Optimized for low CPU load Operating Systems • Windows Vista/XP/2000 Recommended Software • LabVIEW • Vision Development Module • Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (AI) Driver Software (included) • NI Vision Acquisition Overview Get the most performance from your GigE Vision camera with National Instruments GigE Vision interfaces, including the NI PCIe-8231 one-port interface, the NI PCIe-8235 four-port interface, and the NI PXIe-8234 two-port interface. NI Vision Acquisition software is highly optimized for these controllers and the resulting CPU usage for acquiring images from them is extremely low. With their PCI Express-based interfaces, these devices provide full GigE Vision bandwidth at every port, giving you the bandwidth you need for your most demanding vision applications. I/O Synchronization GigE Vision High Throughput Cost-Effectiveness Low CPU Usage Cable Length Camera Availability Standardized Interface Power over Cable Specifications These specifications are typical at 25 °C unless otherwise stated. GigE Vision Image Acquisition GigE Vision is a new interface standard for cameras that transmit images over gigabit Ethernet. It provides an alternative for vision applications requiring long cable distances or lower-cost cabling. While the cabling is simpler, a separate cable is required to supply power to the camera. NI Vision Acquisition software works with any gigabit Ethernet controller but is highly optimized for Intel gigabit Ethernet controllers.
