Runtime Error 30806 PCI-1408 in VB6

[Tunedport]

Anybody...

I receive the error when trying to run the "CWIMAQ1.Start" function. This happens when attempting to execute the sample programs included with IMAQ as well. I have been able to successfully acquire images in the Measurement and Automation Explorer, but any time I try to acquire an image in VB6 I receive the error.

Thank You

Bill

Hi Bill,

    I'm not sure which version of IMAQ you have, but this error was a known error in an older version of IMAQ.  I would suggest going to  http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/92E5F0214C4B3A04862572950061384B?opendocument&node=13206... and downloading the latest Vision Acquisition Software package (which includes NI-IMAQ).  Once you have downloaded it, uninstall your current version of IMAQ in Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> Add/Remove Programs (Select National Instruments software to see a listing you can choose NI-IMAQ from).  Shut down you computer and remove your PCI card.  Start your computer, install the driver you downloaded, then shut down and install your PCI card.  When your computer starts back up you should be able to use your card and camera.  Let me know if you have any more questions.  Thanks!

Allison,

The new version of IMAQ solved my problem (I was using IMAQ v3.1)

Thank You
