[marcio]

Hello,
Im trying to connect my microscope cam to labview, but Im getting started with labview,
my camera is managed by  a software called win view and it works; but I'm trying to control the camera by labview.
what's the way to allow labview to see my cam??
best regards

What is the interface for the camera? USB, digital, analog, tin can and string?
What are you trying to do with the camera? Capture still images, video, etc.
Does the Win View software (never heard of it) have some sort of DLL or ActiveX component that can be called by another program?

my cam system is made by a digital cam + a controller  the output cable of controller go in the PC via a PCI bus

Are you saying there's a card inside the computer to talk to the camera? What is the model of your camera? Is there a web page that profiles the camera?

Hi Marcio,

it is important to have right information on the hardware you are using. in particular which is your camera type (FireWire, analogic, Camera Link, GigaEthernet, USB) and if you have the drivers of your image acquisition board.

Have you got LabVIEW Development System only? Which version? Do you have others NI LabVIEW Modules or NI Softwares (for instance NI Vision)?

I'm waiting for your news.
