Windows系统下（Linux和MAC系统下请自行了解清楚）NI的各种软件、模块、工具包、驱动程序，使用NI许可证管理器来激活的，绝大部分的都可以使用NI Lincense Activator来激活：NI序列号Serial Number生成激活工具NI License Activator，LabVIEW/VBAI/VDM/VAS等软件模块工具包破解工具不限版本http://visionbbs.com/thread-490-1-1.html

视觉论坛的各种NI资源，除了视觉相关的模块有使用外，大部分的都不会使用，仅提供资源不提供技术支持。资源的下载地址一般会同时提供NI官方和百度网盘的地址。某些工具包NI地址失效或没有NI地址，只能使用百度网盘地址；如果百度网盘地址失效过期，可联系论坛客服更新。NI的服务器在美国，有时候速度很慢或下载容易出错，这样会造成安装时各种错误而无法安装。建议在下载完成后，对下载资源做校验和(NI一般会提供MD5或SHA256等)验证，与官方或视觉论坛提供的校验和对比，一致就可以安装；如不一致，则需要重新下载。视觉论坛早期下载上传的资源，基本上都是正常下载的资源；2019后下载的资源，都与NI的正确校验和对比过，保证是正确的资源才上传到百度网盘。校验和工具下载地址：文件Hash计算器FHash，文件校验和验证下载文件正确性验证，MD5值计算、SHA1值计算、SHA256值计算、CRC32值计算http://visionbbs.com/thread-26524-1-1.html

NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection 2018 Win32/64Eng 自动检测视觉生成器VBAI2018 LabVIEW2018版适用

NI出品的图像处理标准软件，VBAI2018版本。VBAI经过VBAI2016、VBAI2016SP1、VBAI2017、VBAI2017SP1四代断更后，终于发布全新的VBAI2018了。难道江湖上传说的放弃VBAI，又被重新拾起来了？
2018年6月发布版本。本版本最直接更新是API函数接口增加对LabVIEW2018的支持。添加一个映射缺陷功能。其它实用性功能相对较小。

Known Issues

You can access the software and documentation known issues list online. Refer to the NI website for an up-to-date list of known issues in NI Vision Builder AI 2018.

Bug Fixes

Refer to the NI website for an up-to-date list of all bug fixes in this release.

Accessing the Help

See Additional Resources.

Finding Examples

See Additional Resources.

Automating the Installation of NI Products

You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes.

If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.0, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.0 separately before you install NI software.

For more information about automating the installation of NI products, refer to the following KnowledgeBase articles:

• For more information about silent installations of individual NI products, refer to KB 4CJDP38M, Customize and Automate Installation of a Single Installer.
• For more information about silent installations of NI products in a suite, such as NI Developer Suite, refer to KB 4GGGDQH0, Customize and Automate Installation of a Suited Installer.
• To determine what version of NI Installers your product contains, refer to KB 4CJDR18M, Determine Type and Version of My National Instruments Installer.
  

Software Requirements for Migrating an Inspection to LabVIEW

To migrate an inspection to LabVIEW, Vision Builder AI 2018 requires LabVIEW 2018 or later and NI Vision Development Module 2018 or later.

Some Vision Builder AI steps require additional software to successfully migrate an inspection to LabVIEW.

• OPC UA requires the LabVIEW OPC UA Toolkit.
• Ethernet/IP or Ethernet/IP adapter require NI-Industrial Communications for Ethernet/IP.
  

Refer to the following table for software requirements to migrate specific steps. Driver versions must support the target version of LabVIEW for migration.

Step Name	Requirement
Acquire Image	NI-IMAQ
Acquire Image (IEEE 1394, GigE, or USB)	NI-IMAQdx
Acquire Image (Smart Camera)	NI-IMAQdx
Generate Pulse	NI-IMAQ
Generate Pulse (Vision RIO)	NI-IMAQ I/O for PCIe-8237R and PCIe-825xR boards, and Compact Vision Systems NI Industrial Controller Device Drivers for industrial controllers
Read/Write I/O	NI-IMAQ
Read/Write I/O (NI-DAQmx)	NI-DAQmx
Read/Write I/O (Vision RIO)	NI-IMAQ I/O for PCIe-8237R and PCIe-825xR boards, and Compact Vision Systems NI Industrial Controller Device Drivers for industrial controllers

Note:  NI-IMAQ, NI-IMAQdx, and NI-IMAQ I/O are available on the NI Vision Acquisition Software DVD included with Vision Builder AI. The NI Industrial Controller Device Drivers DVD is provided separately with industrial controller devices. To download NI-DAQmx, visit ni.com/downloads/products/.

Software Requirements for the Run LabVIEW VI Step

The Run LabVIEW VI step in Vision Builder AI 2018 supports VIs saved in LabVIEW 2018 or earlier.

Using NI Software with Microsoft Windows 10

Microsoft Windows 10 is the latest version of the Windows operating system and features significant changes compared to previous versions. Windows 10 introduces several new capabilities and also combines features from both Windows 7 and Windows 8. For more information about NI support for Windows 10, visit ni.com/windows10.

Using NI Software with Microsoft Windows 8.1

When you install NI software on Microsoft Windows 8.1, you will notice a few additional tiles in the Apps view, including shortcuts to NI application software products such as NI LabVIEW, Measurement & Automation Explorer (NI MAX), and NI Launcher. For more information about NI support for Windows 8.1, visit ni.com/windows8.

PC-Based Image Acquisition and I/O Support

Vision Builder AI supports the following types of image acquisition and I/O devices:

• National Instruments image acquisition devices
• IEEE 1394 industrial digital cameras
• GigE Vision cameras
• DirectShow-compatible USB cameras
• IP cameras
• Digital or analog I/O from NI data acquisition (DAQ) devices
• Serial devices
  

Note: You must install driver software to acquire images from an image acquisition device connected to the development computer.

National Instruments Image Acquisition Devices

This version of Vision Builder AI supports National Instruments image acquisition devices that require NI-IMAQ driver version 4.6.4 or later. Specific devices may require later versions.

Note: If you are using an image acquisition device, you must install NI Vision Acquisition Software before you install the image acquisition device. NI Vision Acquisition Software gives you access to Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), which is software you can use to configure National Instruments devices.

IEEE 1394 Cameras, GigE Vision Cameras, DirectShow-Compatible USB Cameras, and IP Cameras

This version of Vision Builder AI supports IEEE 1394 cameras, GigE Vision cameras, USB3 Vision, DirectShow-compatible USB cameras, certain IP cameras, and requires NI-IMAQdx driver version 3.3 or later. Specific devices may require later versions.

To acquire an image from one of these camera types when the camera is connected to the host computer, use the Acquire Image (1394, GigE, or USB) step. The Acquire Image (1394, GigE, or USB) step requires NI-IMAQdx, which can be installed from the NI Vision Acquisition Software DVD included with Vision Builder AI.

You must configure an IEEE 1394 camera to use the NI-IMAQdx driver. Complete the following steps to use MAX to configure an IEEE 1394 camera to use the NI-IMAQdx driver.

• Launch MAX.
• In the MAX configuration tree, expand Devices and Interfaces to obtain a list of installed devices.
• Expand NI-IMAQdx Devices to obtain a list of available cameras.
• Right-click the camera and select Driver»NI-IMAQdx IIDC Digital Camera.
  

NI Analog and Digital I/O Devices

This version of Vision Builder AI supports digital and analog I/O from any National Instruments data acquisition (DAQ) device using NI-DAQmx Global Virtual Channels. To support NI DAQ devices, Vision Builder AI requires NI-DAQmx 8.0 or later.

Serial Communication

To support serial communication, Vision Builder AI requires NI-VISA 2.6.0 or later, which is included with Vision Builder AI. You can use the serial ports built into the PC or one of the following NI serial interfaces: NI PCI-232/x, NI PXI-8420/x, or NI PXI-8422/x. You do not need to install NI-VISA on the PC to use the serial port on a remote target.

Deployment Policy for Vision Builder AI

Pursuant to the National Instruments Software License Agreement, Vision Builder AI software is licensed to run on only one machine. Deployed applications that use Vision Builder AI require that Vision Builder AI be installed and licensed on each host machine. Therefore, you must purchase a separate Vision Builder AI license for each host machine. For more information, refer to the enclosed National Instruments Software License Agreement or visit ni.com/legal/license.

Licensing Options

For information about licensing NI Vision software, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code LicenseVision. Vision Builder AI offers the following licensing options:
