Imaq usb menu not found

[PanchoPic]

Hi All:

   I have Labview 8.2 , Ni-IMAQ 7.1.1 and NI Vision Assistant 7.1.1,  but I cant find the IMAQ USB menu as refered in the NI-IMAQ_for_USB_Cameras_User_Guide.pdf

Any Idea how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

The USB menu does not appear until you install the USB drivers.  These are a seperate entity to the NI supplied Vision drivers. 

Hope this helps

Thanks Adam for your quick response.

     but I have already installed the USB drivers, that is where I get the NI-IMAQ_for_USB_Cameras_User_Guide.pdf.

Thanks anyway.

What version of LabVIEW are you running?

Hi Adam

I have Labview 8.2 , Ni-IMAQ 7.1.1 and NI Vision Assistant 7.1.1.

Thanks

Once the installer finished, did it tell you where the USB drivers were installed?

Try installing it again and the very last screen from the installer (Installation Complete) note down the locations the USB drivers have been installed.

Then navigate to the appropriate directory.  Are the files there?

It says C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Vision Assistant 7.1

What files should be installed there?

The USB webcam works fine in the Vision Assistant, but in Labview I cannot find the VIs..

Thanks

I am using Labview 8.5.1 and having the same problem. I have installed the USB drivers for IMAQ but still lack the USB menu.

Hi alang,

Does it work in vision assistant for you?

[Alan Tang]

Hi there,

Yes it works on vision assistant 8.5 when I run it externally, apart from Labview.When i choose the acquire tab, I can even choose to acquire through USB and I can see the video playback onscreen.

When I use the labview vision assistant icon though, I am stuck on the process image tab with all other tabs and most of the functions greyed out. And of course, the USB submenu is missing.
