© National Instruments Corporation 1-1 NI CVS-1450 Series User Manual1NI CVS-1450 Series OverviewThis chapter provides an overview of the features and components of theNational Instruments CVS-1450 Series compact vision system.About the NI CVS-1450 SeriesNI CVS-1450 Series devices are easy-to-use, distributed, real-time imagingsystems that acquire, process, and display images from IEEE 1394 camerasconforming to the IIDC 1394-based Digital Camera Specification,Version 1.30. The CVS-1450 Series also provides multiple digitalinput/output (I/O) options for communicating with external devices toconfigure and start an inspection and to indicate results.An Ethernet connection between the CVS-1450 device and a developmentcomputer allows you to display measurement results and status informationand to configure the CVS-1450 device settings. When configured, theCVS-1450 device can run applications without a connection to thedevelopment computer.Each CVS-1450 device ships with documentation and the NI-IMAQfor IEEE 1394 Cameras driver software, which is licensed for onedevelopment system and one deployment system.Hardware OverviewThe CVS-1450 device front panel consists of a VGA connector, an RS-232serial port, a 10/100 Ethernet connector, and three IEEE 1394a ports.The CVS-1450 device also includes LEDs for communicating systemstatus, DIP switches that specify startup options, TTL inputs and outputsfor triggering, and isolated inputs and outputs for connecting to externaldevices, such as PLCs, sensors, LED indicators, and start/stop buttons. Theisolated inputs and outputs on the CVS-1450 device provide an easy meansfor preventing ground loops that could degrade signal integrity.Caution The isolation on the CVS-1450 device is not safety isolation.
