NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 cameras under LabVIEW 6.1

[bernhardschnurr]

I just purchased this driver for Firewire cameras and got the latest version 2.0 that seems to only work for LV 7 and higher. Which version works for LV 6.1 and where can I get it? (Older versions of these drivers don't seem to be available under the driver pages at ni.com in the usual place.) I suppose i need to "downgrade" now. Any insights?

Hello bernhardschnurr,

Thank you for using our discussion forums. You will have to use NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 cameras ver 1.5.3 or earlier for support for LabVIEW 6.1. These drivers are not available for download on our website. I would recommend contacting your local NI support and they can help you get these drivers. Please visit http://www.ni.com/support/ and choose to phone NI.

Thanks!

I did as you suggest and got the download. It seems to work. Now i just need to get my hands on a camera file (.icd) for my PixeLINK Firewire camera. MAX didn't like whatever default file it found or came up with.

Bernhard.
