Overview
The National Instruments 8252 devices are OHCI compliant
IEEE 1394a interfaces that run natively in Windows 2000/XP/Me/98.
The IEEE 1394a standard offers up to 400 Mb/s bandwidth.
Three direct-connect IEEE 1394 ports are provided, but more 1394
devices can be added with the addition of IEEE 1394 hubs. An
important application of these devices is collection of images from
IEEE 1394 cameras.
NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394
NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 offers a mobile, easy-to-use solution
for acquiring images from IEEE 1394 cameras. The driver software
integrates with NI Measurement & Automation Explorer, so you can
easily configure your camera. You can also quickly set up your system
by connecting a FireWire camera to your computer and immediately
begin acquiring images. With a set of easy-to-use programs, you can
quickly create applications in LabVIEW or Measurement Studio, by
creating VIs or directly accessing the C library functions.
NI–IMAQ for IEEE 1394 cameras is compatible with IIDCcompliant cameras that output noncompressed video data. You can
connect a maximum of 16 cameras up to your system and acquire
from each one. Advanced functionality includes the ability to query
the camera for on board parameters and programmatic parameter
changing on the fly.
