Imaq 5 without fp?

[Luis Villa]

Hi:

I just installed Imaq 5 for Labwindows CVI and I cannot find IMAQ_cvi.fp
anywhere, so I cant find the function help associated with Ctrl -P. Also all
functions now appear to start with IMAQ instead of IPI. I was using Imaq 1.
please help.

Hi Luis,

The Vision front panel should be located under C:\MeasurementStudio\cvi\toolslib\Vision\nimachinevision.fp
You just need to load this file as an instrument driver.

Since Vision 5, the function names have changed from IPI to IMAQ. You will need to change your code to reflect that. We do have an IPI compatibility library though, if you still want to make calls into the IPI library in Vision 5.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ken

thanks for your answer. I would rather update my program with imaq calls
instead of keeping IPI calls. Is there any text that relates how functions
changed from IPI to IMAQ?

Thanks

I just tried your solution, but I can't find nimachinevision.fp anywhere. I
found though nivision.lfp. What is the difference between a .fp an .lfp
file? By the way when I compile the samples I always get a message saying I
an using a demo version of IMAQ which I am not.

Still puzzled
