Attaching camera to NI-9137 controller

[joshrothe]

We are using controller NI-9137. Is it possible to attach a camera to a USB
port on the front pane of this controller (as shown in the image attached), and
view and save the images and videos through a use of any particular vi?

Hi pratikdeokar,

It depends on a number of things. One important question here is: Is your cDAQ controller running Linux RT or Windows Embedded?

If it is Windows:

Try connecting a simple USB 2.0 camera that is complaint with DirectShow.

If it is Linux RT:

The content in the next articles should apply for your controller:

 What Cameras Are Supported on NI CompactRIO and Single-Board RIO?

More information on the standards mentioned in the articles:

Forgot to mention. In any case you will need to have access to the Vision Acquisition Drivers
