I found MAX and found the camera in there. I can't see an image in there, however I do get images on my working program. The camera name comes up as img0 on my working problem as well as in MAX, and the camera name in the non-working program is cam0, but when I tried to change the camera name, it responded with a "bad camera file". I think I've confused myself into just playing with things and hoping they work. And I still am learning labview, so that really adds to my confusion. Anyway, the program that I am trying to amend is a stokes vector program: the goal is to be able to have a stokes vector represented by the images taken by the camera. We have a working Muler Matrix calculating program, which I am trying to amend to use the stokes math in. The stokes program has everything that I need, but the camera does not want to be recognized. Sorry if I keep asking stupid questions, I just really know very little about labview and am trying to learn!!
Thanks for your help so far!!
