Hello Imran,

The first step would be to ensure that you can communicate with the camera in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX).  Once you have verified this, you should take a look at the example VIs that come with the IMAQdx driver software.  These examples will be in the LabVIEW example finder under Hardware Input and Output » IMAQdx.  These examples should get you started in developing your own acquisition VIs.

Also, please take a look at these two articles.  They discuss the principles of GigE cameras and how to get started with them.
