IMAQ USB for LV2009

[Tanguy Le Corre]

Hi,

I updated Labview from 8.6 to 2009, with Vision.

After installation of ni-imaq-usb library (August 09 version), USB Acquire Image is available in Vision Assistant 8.6 but not in Vision Assistant 2009. Same issue in the Control when I code in the back panel.

Furthermore refering to 8.6 librarie when coding in 2009 make close the vi and Labview 2009 without any explanation.

Is there a version of IMAQ for USB available for Labview 2009?

With the 2009 release, IMAQ-USB is now part of the NI-IMAQdx driver in the VAS 2009. Download it from this link:

NI Vision Acquisition Software 2009

Adnan is correct-USB camera support is covered by the NI-IMAQdx driver as of Vision 2009. 

One thing to be aware of is the fact that the NI-IMAQdx driver does require a license.  If you have the Vision Development Module, the license for NI Vision Acquisition Software is included.

Hi,

Thanks for the Imaqdx informations, now the cameras are listed by Imaqdx Enumerates Cameras.vi, but IMAQdx Get Image.vi produce the error: " Invalid pointer". I tried with one creative webcam and one usb frame grabber. I both installed their own drivers after installing Vision Acquisition 2009, it's possible to acquire with their own softwares.

And in Vision Assistant 2009, in the Acquire tab, the first item Acquire Image is unavailable and tells me "no image acquisition device is curerntly installed in your machine." The other Acquire Image items (IEEE 394, RT ...) are available but no cameras of these types are installed or plugged. This fact goes again Imaqdx Enumerates Cameras.vi, but the result is the same: it doesn't work.!

My bad, the USB cameras are recognized as IEEE 1394 or GigE in Vision assistant.
