pschmal Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 I would like to connect an analog camera to LabView. The analog framegrabbers NI offers are somewhat expensive, and I'm running out of PCI slots. Would getting a Analog to USB converter (such as http://www.i-cubeinc.com/pdf/frame%20grabbers/TIS-DFGUSB2.pdf) then using NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras make sense? I have tried to get to the NI-IMAQ for USB site but it seems to be down for the moment. Thank you! Quote
ESST Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Hi, Link slightly broken, try DFGUSB2 . I don’t know if IMAQ for USB will work here, only used regulater IMAQ. There is however a Labview "Driver" (see drivers and software tab) for this frame grabber. Don’t know its capabilities or requirements. You could try downloading and see if it looks good. Will likely make it a mute point. Edited July 28, 2009 by ESST Quote
pschmal Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Posted July 28, 2009 Hi ESST, Thank you for your reply and pointing out the LabVIEW driver. I am also looking at some multi-input analog to usb converters. As long as the manufacturer provides directshow filters I should be ok to use the NI-IMAQ for USB, right? Quote
