Hi,
To do image acquisition you will first need to install LabVIEW 2013 and then the NI Vision Acquisition Software which is a driver for acquiring, displaying, logging, and monitoring images from camera devices connected to your machine.
To actually do Image Processing and/or work Machine Vision-related applications you will also need the NI Vision Development Module for LabVIEW which holds all the functionality. You can download the evaluation version here https://www.ni.com/en/shop/data-acquisition-and-control/add-ons-for-data-acquisition-and-control/wha...
Depending on how much experience you have with LabVIEW in general you might be interested in the basic functionality described on the following page: https://learn.ni.com/learn/article/labview-tutorial .To get started quickly with vision you can explore some of the examples on the following page: https://www.ni.com/en/shop/data-acquisition-and-control/add-ons-for-data-acquisition-and-control/wha... and also check the user manual here : https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/371007b/resource/371007b.pdf
It might also be worth checking out the community examples here for some more vision examples: https://forums.ni.com/t5/Community-Documents/tkb-p/3044
Hopefully this will help kickstart your vision developments. Best of luck!!
