Hi adobefree,

The camera file needs to be in the data folder in order for it to work with the camera.  If it is not there, then it probably means it's not a default camera file that comes with our software and you need to get it separately.  You can create your own, or contact the manufacturer of your camera to see if they offer it.

I can see the camera every time i open the NI MAX explorer , and i can see the settigns changes have been stored there , which means it already been a default camera .

But i just can't file the config file undet data folder , could you check what's the path of config file in WIN7 enviroments ?

It is under the C:\Users\Public hierarchy.
