Can I use the NI 9403 Digital I/O for video capture?

[Achillies]

Hello.

I am busy with my final year project and I wonderd if it is possible to use the NI 9403 to capture video to detect a reflecting tape on the ground when the autonomous vehicle moves over it. I want to connect a web cam to the NI 9403 module. I just want to know if it is possible and if so, how can I read the signals from the web cam through a pin.

I am new to the LabView and I'm not familiar with al the functions. I am currently runnig LabView 8.5 on my computer. If this is not possible which DAQ modules would you suggest. I have looked at the NI 9234 with BNC module but I have a budget that is not nearly enough to buy one.

Can you please help me.

Hello Achilies,

In order for you to capture image/video, you would need NI Framegrabbers for acquisition. You can however use the DO from 9403 as a trigger to trigger the image capturing. You can find more information on the vision system here: http://www.ni.com/vision/
