1 Introduction
A group of functional module of LabVIEW environment, enabling configuration
and control of a PTZ (“pan-tilt-zoom”) camera, that is used autonomous [7]
platforms of different types (flying [9], ridding) was designed and implemented in
the presented article. The following are examples of exemplary camera models of
type PTZ of 7000 series, that presented modules cooperate with.

The idea of designed module is based on using the SDK (“VitaminCtrl”)
libraries, that are supporting the cooperation with the VIVOEK camera in the
simulation- programming environment of LabVIEW. With the development of
functional modules, allowing for the configuration and control of the camera and
the acquisition of images, it is possible to test processing algorithms and the
analysis of images on sequences obtained at the time of the algorithms being
tested. The convention of proposed arrangement of the input and output signals of
particular module is presented in fig.2.
