When IMAQ vision that is compatible with labview 8.0 is going to be released?

[Christos]

Hi, i got labview 8.0 but it is not compatible with imaq vision 7.x series. I am wondering when the new version of IMAQ vision that will be compatible with labview 8.0 is going to be released.
Thank you,
Christos

I was just about to upgrade and saw this posting.  Can you give me some details on what the issue is?

Hello!

There is no issue but Vision 7.1.1 does not have support for LabView 8. But it is possible to run IMAQ 7.1.1 on LabView 8.0.

Therefore you have to defer the mnu files from  C:\Programme\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\menus\default\vision

                                                                                                to   C:\Programme\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\menus\Categories\VisionMotion

and copy the VisionControlsMNU.dll and VisionControl.mnu into :\Programme\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\menus\Controls

Kind Regards, Christian

Hey Matt,

There is also a great knowledgebase document called How do I install my IMAQ software/drivers with LabVIEW 8?, which has an update on it that takes care of moving everything that you need to move in order to get Vision 7.x.x to work with LabVIEW 8.0. Of course nothing extra has to be done with the IMAQ Vision 8.0 software to work with LabVIEW 8.0. One more thing, similarily to LabVIEW 8.0, you can now download the Vision Development Module Version 8.0 software from NI's website in case you wanted to try out (30-day trial) the Vision 8.0 software before upgrading.

I hope this helps. Have a great day.
