The NI 1483R is an image acquisition device that supports Base, Medium, Full, and Extended Full

(80-bit) configuration Camera Link-compatible cameras. The NI 1483R is comprised of an

NIFlexRIOTM FPGA module and an NI FlexRIO adapter module (NI 1483). This document explains

how to install and configure the NI 1483R, how to acquire images using a LabVIEW FPGA example

VI, and lists the specifications for the NI 1483.

Required Components

The following items are necessary to set up and use the NI 1483R:

❑ NI FlexRIO adapter module (NI 1483)

❑ NI FlexRIO FPGA module

❑ The following software packages:

– LabVIEW 2010 or later

– LabVIEW FPGA Module 2010 or later

– NI-RIO 4.0 or later driver software

– NI-IMAQ 4.6.1 or later driver software, included with NI Vision Acquisition Software

– (Optional) NI Vision Development Module 2010 or later for creating machine vision

applications

❑ One of the following system considerations:

– PXI/CompactPCI or PXI Express/CompactPCI Express chassis with a PXI/CompactPCI or a

PXI Express/CompactPCI Express embedded controller

– MXI kit and a PC running Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000

❑ Cables for connecting a Camera Link-compatible camera to the NI 1483. Refer to the Connectivity

Options section for a list of applicable cables and accessories.
