NI-IMAQ: The passed in interface or session is invalid

[Gabriel_B]

Hello,

I'm trying to use a USB camera (thorlabs DCC1240c) with the "Grab and save to AVI.vi" example.

When I run the file i got "NI-IMAQ:  The passed in interface or session is invalid". 

I checked in NI MAX and the interface name of the camera is cam0 and that's what I entered in the "Interface name" box in the front panel.

What's the problem ?

Thanks in advance,

Gabriel

Hi Gabriel_B,
-Please tell me in MAX Under which category you can see your device: NI IMAQ or NI IMAQdx?
-If it's under IMAQdx, Grab and Save to AVI.vi will give the error.

Hi,

it is in NI-IMAQdx Devices.

How can I change it then ?

Thanks for your help

-Replace all IMAQ vis with IMAQdx vis.

But I can find out the IMAQdx AVI vis, there are IMAQ AVI2 vis in labview2015 only, thanks
