I can use "IMAQdx Open Camera.vi" and "IMAQdx Enumerate Attributes.vi" to get the attribute names for my camera.
I want to be able to get & set the camera attributes. The functions "IMAQ Get Camera Attribute.vi" and ""IMAQ Set Camera Attribute.vi" require a "IMAQ Session In" but I can't figure out how to get an IMAQ session for the camera. The function "IMAQ Init.vi" outputs an IMAQ Session, but it requires an "Interface Name" input, and I can't figure out what the interface name is for my camera.

The NI-IMAQ driver software supports National Instruments hardware only and is needed to use the following image acquisition devices:
The NI-IMAQdx driver software is needed to use third-party image acquisition devices which use the following buses and standards:
-Based on your camera type you should be using the VIs.
-You can check the The Grab and Attributes Setup example VI which allows the user to view the current attributes and settings, update attribute settings, acquire images continuously, and display the images in an image control.
-To access the example Help->Find Examples-> Search for Grab.
