Founded in 1976, National Instruments is a technology pioneer and leader in virtual instrumentation - a revolutionary concept that has changed the way engineers and scientists approach test, measurement and automation. Leveraging the PC and its related technologies, virtual instrumentation increases productivity and lowers costs through easy-to-integrate software, such as the NI LabVIEW graphical development environment, and modular hardware, such as PCI and PXI modules for data acquisition, instrument control and machine vision.

National Instruments machine vision hardware and software solve a variety of applications ranging from inspecting automotive parts to verifying pharmaceutical packaging. For embedded industrial applications, choose NI Compact Vision Systems, which deliver more power than three smart cameras. For PCI and PXI vision applications, use frame grabbers available for analogue, digital, Camera Link and FireWire cameras. Choose from two types of software to create your machine vision application. Non-programmers can use NI Vision Assistant to quickly and easily configure their machine vision solution. In addition, the NI Vision Development Module provides more than 200 image processing and scientific imaging functions that are available for use in programming languages such as LabVIEW, CVI, C, C++ and Visual Basic. Both software options include tools for pattern matching, OCR, colour matching, gauging and edge detection.

National Instruments specialises in providing a set of products that allows the developer to integrate sensor acquisition, vision, motion control and industrial I/O via a common software platform. The product range includes embedded machine vision systems, PCI and PXI frame grabbers, IEEE-1394 and Firewire image acquisition and machine vision, image analysis and image processing software.

National Instruments hardware and software approach is used in virtually every industry including automotive, aerospace, consumer products, manufacturing, medical devices, packaging, pharmaceutical and scientific imaging.

National Instruments machine vision solutions address any application requiring machine vision, scientific imaging and image acquisition, analysis and processing.
