Installing Application Software and Driver

Before installing the PXIe-8246, you must install the application software and device driver.

National Instruments provides two options for developing machine vision applications.

• NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (Vision Builder AI)—Interactive, menu-

driven configuration software for developing, benchmarking, and deploying machine

vision applications. You must also install NI-IMAQdx.

• NI Vision Development Module—Programming library for developing machine vision

and scientific imaging applications. The NI Vision Development Module requires an

application development environment—LabVIEW and NI-IMAQdx.

Installing Vision Builder AI

Install the following software to use Vision Builder AI to develop applications.

1. NI-IMAQdx—Refer to the NI Vision Acquisition Software Release Notes on the NI

Vision Acquisition Software installation media for system requirements and installation

instructions for the NI-IMAQdx driver.

Documentation for the NI-IMAQdx driver software is available by selecting Start »All

Programs »National Instruments »Vision »Documentation »NI-IMAQdx .

2. Vision Builder AI—Refer to the NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection Readme for

installation instructions.

Documentation for Vision Builder AI is available by selecting Start »All Programs »

National Instruments »Vision Builder AI »Documentation .

Installing the Vision Development Module

Install the following software to use Installing the Vision Development Module to develop

applications.

1. LabVIEW—Refer to the LabVIEW Release Notes for installation instructions and system

requirements for the LabVIEW software. Refer to the LabVIEW Upgrade Notes for

additional information about upgrading to the most recent version of LabVIEW.

Documentation for LabVIEW is available by selecting Start »All Programs »National

Instruments »LabVIEW »LabVIEW Manuals .

2. NI-IMAQdx—Refer to the NI Vision Acquisition Software Release Notes on the NI

Vision Acquisition Software installation media for system requirements and installation

instructions for the NI-IMAQdx driver.

Programs »National Instruments »Vision »Documentation »NI Vision .

Installing the PXIe-8246

Notice To prevent damage to the PXIe-8246 caused by ESD or contamination,

handle the module using the edges or the metal bracket.

1. Ensure the AC power source is connected to the chassis before installing the module.

The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you

install the module.

2. Power off the chassis.

3. Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bends or damage prior to

installation. Do not install a module if the backplane is damaged.

4. Remove the black plastic covers from all the captive screws on the module front panel.

5. Identify a supported slot in the chassis. The following figure shows the symbols that

indicate the slot types.

Figure 1. Chassis Compatibility Symbols

2. PXI Peripheral Slot

3. PXI Express Hybrid Peripheral Slot

4. PXI Express System Timing Slot

5. PXI Express Peripheral Slot

6. Touch any metal part of the chassis to discharge static electricity.

7. Place the module edges into the module guides at the top and bottom of the chassis. Slide

the module into the slot until it is fully inserted.

8. Secure the module front panel to the chassis using the front-panel mounting screws.

Note Tightening the top and bottom mounting screws increases mechanical

stability and also electrically connects the front panel to the chassis, which can

improve the signal quality and electromagnetic performance.

9. Cover all empty slots using EMC filler panels or fill using slot blockers to maximize

cooling air flow, depending on your application.

10. Connect an Ethernet cable to a GigE Vision camera, then connect the camera to the

PXIe-8246 front panel.

11. Power on the chassis.

Note The first time you start the development computer after installing the

hardware, allow several seconds for the drivers to load.

Confirming the Device is Recognized

To confirm that the device is properly installed and the hardware is recognized, complete the

following steps:

1. Select Start »All Programs »National Instruments »Measurement & Automation

Explorer to open Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).

2. Verify that the camera connected to the PXIe-8246 appears under My System »Devices

and Interfaces »NI-IMAQdx Devices .

Configuring the PXIe-8246 in MAX

Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your NI hardware. MAX

informs other programs about which NI hardware products are in the system and how they are

configured. MAX is automatically installed with NI Vision Acquisition Software (VAS).

1. Launch MAX.

2. In the configuration tree, expand Devices and Interfaces to see the list of installed NI

hardware.

Installed modules appear under the name of their associated chassis.

3. Expand your Chassis tree item.

MAX lists all modules installed in the chassis. Your default names may vary.

Note If you do not see your module listed, press <F5> to refresh the list of

installed modules. If the module is still not listed, power off the system, ensure

the module is correctly installed, and restart.

1PoE has exceeded the absolute maximum power. To reset the LED, power cycle the system after

the camera/load is removed.

6| ni.com | PXIe-8246 Getting Started Guide

4. Record the identifier MAX assigns to the hardware. Use this identifier when

programming the PXIe-8246.

Troubleshooting

If an issue persists after you complete a troubleshooting procedure, contact NI technical

support or visit ni.com/support.

What Should I Do if the PXIe-8246 Does Not Appear in

MAX?

1. In the MAX configuration tree, expand Devices and Interfaces.

2. Expand the Chassis tree to see the list of installed hardware, and press <F5> to refresh

the list.

3. If the module is still not listed, power off the system, ensure that all hardware is correctly

installed, and restart the system.

4. Navigate to the Device Manager. Right-click the Start button, and select Device Manager

5. Verify the PXIe-8246 appears in the Device Manager.

a) Under an NI entry, confirm that a PXIe-8246 entry appears.

Note If you are using a PC with a device for PXI remote control system,

under System Devices, also confirm that no error conditions appear for the

PCI-to-PCI Bridge.

b) If error conditions appear, reinstall the NI Vision Acquisition Software (VAS) driver.
