USB camera name doesn't matter

[menghuihantang]

I have two webcams, different models on one computer. Trying to switch between the two to see different directions. Labview detects both cameras, listed the names and fed it to the camera open vi, you can see it in the attachment. But the problem is, it seems the camera names don't matter at all, no matter which webcam I chose, Labview always uses the one whose name is alphabetically ahead of the other.

Anyone has an idea what I did wrong?

I was just dealing with this topic yesterday and today.

The driver is designed for use with only a single camera. If you look under "Known Issues" http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5030' target="_blank">here then you'll see that.

It might be that the selection is offered as an option, but not implemented.

Knows Issues No. 1 says using one webcam at a single time. I did. Every time I chose a different webcam, I turned off the program and re-run it.

Does this mean I can only use one webcam at all?
