When will Vision become available as a 64-bit library callable from C (labwindows)?

[SteveD123]

So NI week 2013 has come and gone.

Vision in LabWindows still remains VERY much the poor relation, with none of the upgrades that LabView customers receive, but no reduction in price:

No 64 bit

No optical flow

No stereoscopic 3D

No integration with LabWindows resource management, tracking & memory leak detection.

No hint in the sales literature of these facts.

What am I paying my money for?

Hello,

Since I started this thread I want to comment on this as well.  We've unfortunately had to move away from an NI solution for our needs.  Not having 64 bit Vision support became a deal-breaker and we are migrating away from the NI platform.  I wish this were not the case but I cannot justify holding our project back to 32 bit any longer (especially when there are other 64 bit alternatives).

thanks,

alex

NI is just a joke now. Man must stay away from NI, as I did.

I really cannot let the last comment go unchallenged. I might be critical over one thing; but note that I was specific about what's wrong and what I'd like NI to do about it.

As an old git, I can remember purchasing hardware from different specialist vendors (e.g.. DAC, RS422, IEEE-488), each of which would demand specific ISA bus configuration and conflicting versions of the operating system and development tools. If you raise a query, well your re-seller just got in a crate full and has no real clout with the OEM to get things fixed.

The NI landscape is really different. I can get in my local sales rep, and I only have one person to talk to. If I can demonstrate my problem it will be taken seriously. He can escalate to the specific division responsible, even to the circuit designers and programmers and get it sorted.

musakaradag, if you have an issue, please be explicit and constructive.

We have also requested the support for the Vision module from a 64-bit .Net application literally for years.  At this point, there is a growing community looking to move away from NI for reasons just such as this one.

First of all (may sound familiar): Vision in LabWindows still remains VERY much the poor relation, with none of the upgrades that LabView customers receive, but no reduction in price: - No 64 bit - No optical flow - No stereoscopic 3D - No integration with LabWindows resource management, tracking & memory leak detection. - No hint in the sales literature of these facts. What am I paying my money for? (I asked these myself, too) But for me was much important: Poor documentation Now I use Halcon. I become really what i paid for. I suggest you visit Halcon. You can see, what a real MV software is.

For me was poor .NET support of NI Vision was the decision point, that i no more NI Vision use.
