(Alternative Vision Corp.: Tucson, AZ) -- Tattile srl, the Mairano, Italy-based developer of machine-vision solutions, announces the first release of its Antares Engine Toolkit for LabVIEW. Demonstrated at the recent Vision 2010 show in Stuttgart, Germany, the new tool kit will give LabView developers access to nearly 500 Tattile Antares vision tools.

“Developers who are familiar with the LabVIEW environment can now implement vision systems with any Tattile smart camera or image analyzer,” says Umberto Isoli, CEO of Tattile. “With this new tool kit, users can now develop and deploy vision applications for the Antares Engine using only LabVIEW.”

Tattile evaluated several off-the-shelf application program interfaces (APIs) and selected LabVIEW—short for Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench, a platform for visual programming language developed by National Instruments—only after the company determined that LabVIEW would maintain the integrity and flexibility of Tattile’s product lines.
