National Instruments has introduced a PXI-based vision module which can be used for the development of a hardware system for timing, control and image pre-processing.

The NI 1483 Camera Link adapter module will be used with the NI FlexRIO FPGA board.

The module supports base-, medium- and full-configuration Camera Link devices as well as 80-bit 10-tap configurations, all up to 85MHz.

It also integrates several I/O options including four TTL I/O lines, two opto-isolated inputs and one quadrature encoder input as well as the I/O and industrial communication options available for the PXI platform.
