Phytec Grab4 PCI!?

Hi everyone!

Is it possible to control this grabbercard with labVIEW without having
the full IMAQ? (I have labview 6i and NI-DAQ.)
And if so, how do i adress the card?

Any help is appreciated!

Yes, it is possible. However you can't use NI-DAQ or the imaq drivers that
come with LabVIEW. This is why its usually cheaper to get the IMAQ board
and use what NI gives you.

Otherwise you need to write DLLs or CINs in Visual Studio or someting
similar and call the drivers that the board's manufacturer should have given
you (find them), otherwise writing the low level windows driver yourself
(VXD, etc.,) will be nearly impossible without detailed documentation about
the board.

Thank you for your answer.
Do you also know how to address the card with DAQ. it seems like
auomatation explorer can't find it.
It has IRQ 10, but i couldn't find any way that labview finds the card yet.
Would be great, if you'd also know an answer to this. 😃

regards,

Marin Klein

Martin,

Again, if you ar speaking of the custom PCI card again, the NI drivers will
not recognize it. Look within MAX and under software shows all the drivers
and dlls that NI pulls into MAX. Unless you can supply MAX with the
appropriate DLLs that are compatible with NIDAQ (no chance) it will never be
recognized.

The best solution is to shell out the $1000 or so and get a good IMAQ card,
then you can use all the goodys NI gives you within LabVIEW ... a quite
impressive toolset.

Good luck in your development,
Dave Gianetto
