VIs missing in IMAQ with newly version NI VAS 17.1 under LV2017

[NicolasFerrier]

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded from LV2014 to LV2017 (Spring version) and installed the updates before installing NI Vision Acquisition Software 17.1. Afterwards I also installed the drivers "NI Vision Acquisition Software September "  (should I have installed the 17.1's one?).

Then, when opening with LV2017, a previous VI realized in LV2014, many IMAQ Vis are missing like : IMAQ Absolute Difference, IMAQ Histograph, IMAQ Extract, IMAQ Threshhold or IMAQ Particle Analysis Report.

I put an image of the Vision's toolbox.

Do you have any idea how I can solve this ?

Thank you in advance

Nico

You need to change/modify the installation of Vision Development Module (just start the installer) and select support of LV2017. Hope that solves it.

(But yes, paths are a problem with different versions of VDM. I have multiple versions on my PCs (32/64bit, various versions of LabVIEW) and especially VA seems to use some absolute paths that I can't quite resolve).

I'm really sorry but where do I find the Vision Development Module ? I checked on MAX, NI website, Package manager but did not find a way to download it ? I think I forgot to install it... How to proceed then ? Do I have to uninstall completely LabView2017 and reinstall it or can I just install the Vision Development Module ? In both case, how do you proceed because I don't find a straightforward way...

NI website search is just terrible if you don't know the keywords.
You find Vision Acquisition software if you google VAS and Vision Development Module by googling VDM.

Here is VDM 2017:

Just close LabVIEW/MAX and run the installer you download from the page.
