Lumenera Infinity 2 Camera Communication issues

[quixomniac]

Hello National Instruments Community,

I am trying to get a Lumenera Infinity 2 Camera to work with LabVIEW.
I downloaded the plug in http://www.lumenera.com/support/downloads/microscopy-downloads.php

I also downloaded NI Vision with its IMAQdx and IMAQ drivers as needed.
However, whenever I try to load an example, or even add a program block it starts asking for NILuAPI.dll
This file doesn't seem to exist within the plug in.
I was wondering if someone had experienced this or if this was just a case of a file with the wrong path.

Hi quixomniac,

Below where you download their plugin, there's a link to ask questions to Lumenera's support, at support@lumenera.com.  They could possibly answer your question.

Solution?
It was a little confusing who to ask since they refer to National Instruments when it comes to LabVIEW.
However, talking to Lumenera was the right course.
For my particular problem, the NILuAPI.dll file it was asking about was missing from the standard download.
You need to ask Lumenera for it and also make sure to ask for the 32 bit or 64 bit version, whichever corresponds to your version.
Afterwards, move the Lumenara (LuCam)  folder from inst.lib in LabVIEW 2010 (by default it is made)

and move it ot the inst.lib in 2011 (or whichever is yours).

(this is for the 64 bit version only)
Finally, and most importantly move the NILuAPI file into System32 folder under windows which is under C:

Then try to open an example from the LuCam folder.
Everything should load correctly.
