scarab16bit.bin error on IMAQ initialization

[joeljkp]

I just did a brand new install of LabVIEW 6.1 with the enclosed IMAQ 2.5.2. Now, every time I start Windows, I get the following error when IMAQ does its initialization:

"Can't find scarab16bit.bin data file."

It's not a big deal, since it apparently has no effect for what I'm trying to do, but it's still annoying. I checked, and 'scarab16bit.bin' isn't anywhere on my computer.

What should I do here?

You may want to uninstall IMAQ 2.5.2 and upgrade to the latest version:

There are also updates available instead, to IMAQ 2.5.3 and IMAQ 2.5.5, here:

The scarab16bit.bin data file should be in the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-IMAQ\bin folder. After installing a later version of the IMAQ driver, this issue should go away.

Hope this helps-
