Phython script possible without LabVIEW for Machine Vision Application

[Gowthaman_Capsys]

Hi

I wish to develop and deploy a Machine Vision Application through NI Vision Development and Deployment Module.

Could  you please address my following query:

1. Can I use Python scripting to develop a machine vision application with  NI Vision Development and Deployment module instead of LabVIEW/C/C++/C#?

if so, pls share the python library  name

My first question is why??

Python comes with the OpenCV module readily available and you can do with that pretty much most things and then some more, that the IMAQ Vision development library could do too. And it does not involve development nor runtime license costs as you would have with the IMAQ Visions Development Module.

Thanks for your prompt responsee Rolf Kalbermatter

My application's major portions are already developed with python scripting.

Suppose if NI Vision module supports python scripts (without LabVIEW platform) which could reduce the cost of LabVIEW S/w.

Thats why i have enquired..

TestStand will be great in helping you scale with its multi threading, series/parallel/batch sequencing, and report generation. LabView is pretty good at interfacing with hardware (especially NI hardware) and running asynchronous loops. Just use TestStand to call Python (and Labview where needed).
