QUOTE (Neville D @ Jun 19 2008, 12:20 AM) Thanks for the information. I wonder if I am using the right (or sufficient) toolkit for my purpose. There is no Vision Express VI (as pointed out by James) in my environment. I think this Express VI is only available with Visuion Development Module whereas I only have the "NI Vision Acquisition Version 8.0" (includes NI-IMAQ3.5.1, NI-IMAQ For IEEE1394, NI-IMAQ I/O, NI MAX 4.0) installed. Also the examples pointed out by Neville are not available through the LabView >> Help. However, I did find snap.vi and grab.vi examples by going directly to the labview directory in ...\LabView 8.5\examples\IMAQ\IMAQ1394 examples.llb.

Hello, I would like to use NI IMAQ IEEE 1394 to read the image captured using a Basler camera (A601F-2). Since I am quite new to LabView and NI IMAQ toolkit, I am trying to get a clear understand of how LabView, NI IMAQ, and the camera works together as an application. I am using LabView version 8.5 and have installed 'NI-IMAQ 3.5.1' and 'IMAQ for IEEE1394'on my PC (Windows XP). My question is as followed: Is there a tool or wizard to create, edit or run tasks using the NI-IMAQ (such as the 'DAQ assistant' does for Data Acquisition)? Using DAQ assistant, the interface between LabView and the NI DAQ can be build. But I am not sure how to connect LabView and the NI-IMAQ. Can anyone describe this for me? My assignment is to create a VI to capture image from a Basler camera (IEEE1394), calculate the intensity of each point, find the average intensity, and write the intensity output of each pixel in the form of a matrix to a file. Is there an example VI that does something close to this out there that I can use as my starting point? Thanks in advance for your answer. Yours, limhj

Hello all, I am new to labview but will have to start using this technology at work (don't know how I got into this situation... ). I work as a software engineer in medical instrumentation area. Anyway, nice to getting to know you all. Yours, limhj
