I'm running 2013 LabVIEW/Vision & MAX 5.5 on Win7 Pro 64. I have a Chronos 1394B PCIeX1 board & Point Grey Flea3 cam. I have checked Device Manager & NI-IMAQdx IIDC Digital Camera driver is loaded, and the IEEE 1394 Bus Host Controller seems to be all ok, but I don't see the camera in MAX. Any ideas?
Still no joy. I found my old NI PCI 8252 3-port 1394 card and installed that. Still no joy. It works fine with the Point Grey software if I change the camera driver, but no luck with MAX 2013 and the IIDC driver. The camera comms worked fine until I replaced my motherboard & CPU (the old one died). The differences are: Windows 7 is now 64-bit; no on-board 1394 header, so am using the PCI 8252; and have updated NI Dev System from 2011 to 2013.
I think you are running into a known issue that would cause no IMAQdx devices to appear on some small number of systems. This issue was fixed in the latest released Vision Acquisition release (2014.2) here:
Thanks Eric. Before I try this, how will it affect my customers that I keep updating (I send exe files each time there is a new change or patch). They are all using GigE on the 2013 driver installation. If I create an updated exe, will it work on their systems without having to update to the new Vision Acquisition release?
Generally the driver is designed to be forwards and backwards compatible (within reason). If you aren't using functionality available in a newer version of the driver (new VIs/functions, attributes, property nodes) then compiled apps should work on an older version of the driver without any issues.
