There is some tool in labview to control a FireWire camera without any hardware?

[Lamas]

I have a Thorlabs FireWire camera and I want it to control with LabView. I have the complete version of the LabView 8.2 proffesional edition. Well I don't want to buy more hardware so I need a tool included in the LabView proffesional system.

Thank you for your support

You can control the camera with no extra hw but will have to but the 1394 IMAQ package to communicate with the cameras without your own drivers.  IMAQ for 1394 is very easy to use and I have had some great suscess using it but it aint cheap.

Hi Lamas,

The Vision Acquisition Software is not included in the LabVIEW packages. If you are looking to acquire, save and display images using IEEE 1394 cameras (Firewire), you will need the NI Vision Acquisition Software and if you need image processing functions and display tools, I recommend having a look at NI Vision Development Module.

Best Regards,
