do i need an updated vision acquisition software with LV 8.5

[arawtry]

i have been using LV 7.1 with vision acquisition software installed from cd that came with IMAQ card.  i installed a full developement of LV8.5 and when i installed vision acquisition software there are no VIs that show up in the "vision and motion" functions.  i need to find IMAQdx functions to read my 1394 IEEE camera.

is this a version issue?  what can i do to get tthe 1394 functions in LV8.5.

thanks

NI vision acquisition:  version 8.2.3

Labview:  version 8.5

Dear arawtry,

Yes, this looks like a version issue. You need NI-IMAQdx 3.1 or later, which comes with Vision Acquisition Software 8.5 or later. You can determine version requirements from the following KnowledgeBase article:

NI-IMAQ and NI-IMAQdx Compatibility with Different LabVIEW Versions

I believe downloading and installing the latest version of the Vision Acquisition Sofware should solve your problem:

Vision Acquisition Software 8.6
