I am working on image-based herbicide applicator. I used LabVIEW software for image processing and PCI card was used and connected CPU. In lab it is working well but, when I was working in the field due to vibration of the tractor system got trouble and unable to process data.
My question is here how can I replace CPU and monitor with laptop. I want to attach PCI card with laptop.
It's possible, but not just any laptop: Your laptop has to have a PCIE (PCI-Express) expansion slot or a Thunderbolt slot.
In the former case, you can get a PCIE to PCI converter
In the latter one you can get one of the multiple Thunderbolt to PCI adapters and do it that way.
However before you go spend a lot of money you have to think about what Seth said in his comment:
Sorry but it's not clear what your problem is. Why do you expect the PCI card to work better if your problem is vibrations?
