In this model, you configure each state to perform a certain series of actions from acquiring images to gauging a part to communicating with external devices. The results of these steps determine which transition path you take to the next state. By using state diagrams, you can create seemingly complex machine vision applications that provide the flexibility of a programming language with the ease of use of a configuration environment. State diagrams are not only an intuitive take advantage of the large choice of toolkits or add-ons that complement the LabVIEW environment, such as LabVIEW FPGA. Using LabVIEW graphical programming, you can develop your machine vision applications on a desktop PC and then download the program to run on the real-time NI Embedded Vision System. Thus, you can use all the powerful development tools of LabVIEW to develop deterministic, reliable solutions. The Vision Development Module also includes NI Vision Assistant, an interactive prototyping environment that generates ready-to-run code. way to represent machine vision applications but also a self-documenting method that is easy to share among colleagues.
