The Vision 7.1 Development Module is for engineers and scientists who are developing machine vision and scientific imaging applications. The development module includes NI Vision Assistant 7.1—an interactive environment for developers who need to quickly prototype vision applications without programming—and IMAQ Vision 7.1 for LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, and Microsoft Visual Basic—a library of powerful functions for image processing. In addition, the development module includes NI-IMAQ 3.0, the National Instruments driver software for controlling IMAQ hardware products.

This document outlines new functionality, system requirements, installation procedures, and descriptions of the documentation included with the Vision 7.1 Development Module.
