NI IMAQ Vision Builder 6.1

NI IMAQ Vision Builder by National Instruments is a graphical, step-based environment for creating machine vision inspections without traditional programming. It combines image acquisition via NI-IMAQ drivers with a comprehensive library of vision tools, enabling engineers to prototype, validate, and deploy automated inspection, measurement, and guidance applications quickly.

Key capabilities:

• Image acquisition from NI frame grabbers and standards-compliant cameras (such as GigE Vision, USB3 Vision, and Camera Link).
• Drag-and-drop inspection steps, including pattern matching, edge and line detection, blob analysis, gauging and metrology, geometric calibration, color analysis, particle analysis, OCR/OCV, and 1D/2D barcode reading.
• Configurable pass/fail logic with branching and looping, hardware triggering, and I/O integration to interface with factory equipment through digital I/O, serial, and Ethernet-based communications.
• Image/result logging to files or databases, report generation, and basic statistics for quality control and traceability.
• Deployment on Windows PCs and select NI embedded vision hardware, with optional LabVIEW code generation for deeper customization and system integration.

By streamlining vision algorithm selection, camera configuration, and I/O handling in a single environment, NI IMAQ Vision Builder helps teams move from concept to reliable, production-ready inspections faster and with less risk.
