camera for tracking with student version?

[Latenite1]

   Hi all,

Im just researching some of the advanced features of LabView.  I'm very new (programming 3 weeks).  I have done most of the tutorials and built a few functional VI's to practice my basic understanding of tools.  my question is just how to connect the camera for tracking VI into my USB camera?

Any links that have helpful information is apperciated. 

I am hoping that the Student Version of LabView doesnt restrict me from some of these cool features.

Hello,

In order to acquire images from a USB camera, you will need to use the IMAQdx driver which is part of Vision Acquisition Software. This driver requires a license in order to be used and has a 30 day trial if you do not activate it. If you get ahold of a license, the thing to note is that your USB camera must be DirectShow compliant in order to work. There are a number of shipping examples (Help»Find Examples) that acquire from IMAQdx cameras once you install Vision Acquisition Software.
