Difference between NI-ImaqDX Vs 1394 Legacy

[Carmo]

In the project that I'm making with RT for desktop and firewire cameras, I'm using NI-ImaqDX, shall I continue with this or shall I use the 1394 legacy?

What are the diference between them?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

If you are using a firewire camera, you have to use NI IEEE 1394 driver, this is the only way... You'll have to activate it in the Vision Acquisition Software.

Hello Richard,

Concerning the driver, that´s true, I must use the 1394 driver, but after that, to control, I must chose the VIs that I willl use. Or I use the Ni DaqDX pallete (at the left in the JPG ou I use the legacy (at right in the JPG). What´s the difference, witch ones shall I use?

Reagrs and thanks

Hello,

You've better use the NI-IMAQdx functions, whitch are the most recent ones, IMAQ 1394 is now considered as a legacy, still here for those who developped there entire application with these VIs.

But normaly you can use both of them with a preference for NI-IMAQdx.

Here is a link to a doc that explains (maybe in a better way) what i'm trying to say.

Hope this helped,
