Graftek Imaging

Founded in 1984, Graftek's first image analysis software, Ultimage, was introduced in 1988 on the Macintosh II. Because it was evident that the seamless integration of image acquisition and processing with analog data acquisition and control was essential, Graftek decided in 1989 to merge its technology with the leading product for virtual instrumentation, National Instruments' LabVIEW.

In 1990, Graftek announced the first graphical programming tools for image acquisition and analysis, Concept V.i.. With the Concept V.i. library, comprising over 400 functions for image acquisition and analysis, LabVIEW became a leading environment for designing Vision applications, in laboratories as well as on factory floors.
