Communicate with the scanner using LabvIEW

[simply_ynan]

Hello,

Anyone can help me or show me how to communicate with the USB devices like scanners?

Is there extra library needed for this to work?

Thanks...

Do you mean a bar code scanner? If so, you don't have to anything. It shows up as a keyboard.

Im sorry for not being clear. I am referring to flat bed scanner. Thanks.

Hi simply_ynan,

What is the application you are trying to implement with this device?  If you plan to use this scanner with our Vision Acquisition Software (IMAQdx driver), then the scanner would have to be DirectShow compliant.  This Knowledge Base may be helpful to you. Thanks!
