Set all triggering on your camera to OFF in MAX otherwise it will be expecting an external pulse.  If you just want to control its ON/OFF state from LabVIEW, use the attached VI.  It's just doing a very basic conintuous image grab.  It assumes your camera is configured to produce an unsigned 8 bit image. If your camera is configured for signed 16 bit images or something else, make sure to change the image type setting in the pull down enum on the block diagram.
