firewire cameras

I have a Dragonfly Express camera(Point Grey Research Inc) connected to PCI card via IEEE-1394b cable. I should  not need a driver to controll the camera in labview as long as I have appropriate VI, correct? I am looking for a library of example VI's, VI for firewire cameras in particular.If there is no such a thing as the library of example VI's, how do I get this thing to work? Should I look for the driver or use I/O Instrument Assistant?
Thanks for the help.

If you look at How Can I Tell If My IEEE 1394 (Firewire) Camera Is Supported by the NI-IMAQ for 1394, you'll find some info on how to find out if your camera is supported.
 
There's also the Industrial Camera Advisor that may be of some help.
 
If your camera is supported, the IMAQ VIs will work with your camera.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.
