imaq usb grab acquire

[Ray Chan]

I developed a program that uses the IMAQ USB GRAB ACQUIRE to show a live footage of my device. and when the SAVE button is pressed it will save the sample. This program works fine at my computer but when i tried to run the exe in another computer it gave me some problems. At first it said something regarding the runtime engine 8.6, i was able to fix that issue. but my second issue is that my program wont show the live footage of the device but if i click SAVE it actually saves a sample but i dont have feedback from my capture device. any clue what might be causing this? any suggestions is very appreciated.

Hi Ray,

Check the drivers on your target computer.  Make sure that you have the IMAQ drivers.  You can do this through Measurement & Automation Explorer- all of your NI software will be listed in the software tree within MAX.  If you do not see IMAQ or if the version is different than the version on the host computer this can cause problems.  

One way to be sure to install all of the proper drivers is to include an installer with your executable.  When creating the installer (done in the same fashion as the executable) make sure to check all of the additional drivers that you will need for your application. 

Cheers
