imaq 1394 visual studio 2010

Kyle,

I don't see the exmaples folder in NI-IMAQdx. I ran IMAQdx 9.1.1 installation and I didn't see examples being included anywhere.

What is the difference between NI-IMAQdx and Vision? Both of them are in National Instument folder. For my development which should I use and how do I choose? It seems all the controls are registered and I can't do anything about it.

Meanwhile I am looking for the examples you mentioned.

Thanks,

Xianmin

After I removed NI completely, my pc is dead. It can't boot it any more.

Did you consider upgrading to Vision Development Module 2009?

Hi Xianmin,

This article should give you the differences between IMAQdx and the Vision Development Module:  http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/45A5682F377996BB862572B50072787F?OpenDocument

Kyle,

I am downloading vas2009. NI-IMAQdx apparently is not in the VDM2009, or the installation may have problem. In any case I don't have it installed after I installed VDM2009.

Thanks,

Xianmin

Hi,

VAS 2009 will install IMAQdx and nexessary drivers necessary for your camera to appear in MAX. VDM 2009 has .NET control to acquire easily from your camera.

Not quite right...

Vision Acquisition contains the IMAQ and IMAQdx drivers to acquire from cameras.

Vision Development Module contains all the algorithms for machine vision and image manipulation (only a subset of such VIs are present when you install just Vision Acquisition).

Each of these two items contains their respective .NET interfaces when you install them.

NOTE: VDM also installs a legacy ActiveX/COM DLL (CWIMAQ) that exposed Vision Development functions as well as some basic image acquisition though the IMAQ driver only. This component is deprecated and should not be used. You should instead use the native .NET interfaces from the respective software packages.
