support in LabVIEW 2009 for IMAQ legacy drivers on 64-bit windows

[Alistair]

Hi,

I have been trying to use a VI that was created in LabVIEW 7.0 that makes use of IMAQ 1394 VI's in LabVIEW 2009.   When I first tried to run the VI an error told me that the VI's in question were missing, to overcome this problem I thought I should attempt to replace them with legacy VI'.  After downloading the legacy installer, I then realised that these VI's would not function on a 64-bit version of windows even though I have a 32-bit version of LabVIEW.

I was wondering if there is an alternative way of replacing these VI's or a way of implementing the lagacy VI's?  Would it be suitable to replace the IMAQ 1394 VI's with IMAQdx VI's?

Thanks for your time,

Alistair Martin

Hi Alistair,

The following KB states that it should be possible to do what you require: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/3358528DF8648DC2862571F500586140?OpenDocument

The KB also links to some development articles for upgrading and using IMAQdx to acquire from 1394 cameras.

I hope this helps, 

Kind Regards,

Hi Rob W,

Thank you for the quick reply, the knowledgebase link looks very useful and hopefully I will now be able to do what I require!!

Cheers,
