Cannot see PCI firewire card in MAX

[Gary7811]

Hi

I have a firewire camera connected to my computer via a PCI card. Using the software that came with the camera, I am able to capture images easily so there is clearly no hardware problem. However, I cannot seem to access the camera using MAX. If I go to the configuration tree and select My System > Devices and interfaces, all I see is PXI system (Unidentified) and Serial and Parallel. ie. I do not see NI-IMAXdx. If I select Software, I see all of the following on the list (and more) NI Vision, NI-IMAQ, NI-IMAQ for 1394, NI-IMAQdx.

Many thanks,

Gary

Hi,

Without wanting to just throw links at you, have a look at this KB and try the suggestion; otherwise post back! 🙂

Hi Tom,

I'm not sure exactly what the problem was, but I seemed to be able to be able to fix the issue by re-installing the whole NI suite. I think it may have been due to the IMAQdx drivers being installed in a weird place. Thanks for the help.
