Using Vision Acquisition VIs with the PCIe-1429

[Candice]

Greetings Earthlings,

Is there a tutorial/whitepaper/website that can give me an introduction on using the Vision Acquisition IMAQdx VIs to grab images using the PCIe-1429? I am brand new to this sort of thing and it's a little outside of my area of expertise and I'm not sure where to start. I don't even know the very basics of a general approach to setting up the process.  Any suggestions would be most appreciated. I am aware that I need to set up a camera file via the MAX application.

Thanks! 

Candice

Hi Candice,

There are a number of references on our website to help you get started. To begin there are the manual and getting started guide.

What camera are you trying to acquire from? Depending which camera you have, you may be able to download the camera file from our website. You can learn more about camera files here, which includes links to where to find ready made camera files. Finally, there are a number of examples within the LabVIEW and CVI example finders that show how to acquire images using IMAQdx. You can access these examples via

Help »  Example Finder. In the pop-up window navigate to the folder Hardware Input and Output » IMAQdx.

Ok thanks, I guess the examples were what I was looking for. I've looked through the manual and the getting started guide before I posted.
