Hello,
I wanted to update this post for those users who may be looking for a solution on using USB cameras with LabVIEW or Vision Assistant. Recently NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras was released as an example program on National Instruments' Developer Exchange (see link below). NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras is a free software driver for acquiring images from any DirectShow imaging device into LabVIEW. These devices include USB cameras, webcams, microscopes, scanners, and many consumer-grade imaging products. With the driver, users can configure their device, and acquire images into LabVIEW.
NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras Note: While NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras comes with complete documentation, it is
not supported by National Instruments' Applications Engineers. Any support questions should be directed to other users through the Discussion Forums.
Regards,
Michael
