I am using PCI-1410 frame grabber and LabVIEW 8.5,
How can I activate the frame grabber with LabVIEW?
Grab picture, set camera parameters to the grabber etc'
I installed the frame grabber driver and I have a camera connected and interface was configured for it in NI-MAX.
Also, I installed NI-IMAQdx and vision development module but still cannot find any VI's for this application.
I will appreciate your assistance.
Thanks,
Moti.

Muks,
Thanks for your response.
I did installed NI-IMAQdx 3.7 and NI Vision Acquisition 8.2 which I have (I aware that these are quit old), and did activate the SW.
Is there any LabVIEW support or some patch for the versions that I use ?
The link which you placed is for newer version which should be purchased.
Thanks,
Moti.

Hi, Moti,
1. You don't need NI-IMAQdx for PCI-1410. For this framegrabber you need NI-IMAQ driver instead of IMAQdx! IMAQdx intendend for USB/GigE/1394 cameras
2. For LabVIEW 8.5 you need IMAQ ver 3.8 - 4.4, so you can download latest Vision Acquisition Software 2010.03 and it should work.

Hi Moti,
Once you do have the proper software installed (and are using NI-IMAQ instead of IMAQdx), you should be able to load up an example program in LabVIEW to get yourself up and running. Navigate to Help>>Find Examples>>Hardware Input and Output>>IMAQ
There are some basic examples in here to get you started. You'll just need the camera name from MAX (most likely img0 or cam0) as input.
Cheers,
