Error While Using Amscope MU130

[ShaheerMahmood]

Hi I’m trying to connect my AmScope MU130 camera with LabVIEW, but I keep encountering an error when running my program.

the device also does not appear in the "Devices and Interfaces" section in NI MAX

Any Help please ?

Thanks

If you want to use LabVIEW to acquire images from your camera, it needs to be compatible with IMAQdx, which (I believe) uses a sub-set of the GenICam protocol.  These devices will show up in Device Manager under "Camera" (for example, on my laptop, Device Manager shows "Integrated Webcam", and there is no entry for "Imaging Devices", which is where your MU130 shows up).

Based on my limited experience trying to integrate a FLIR camera (which does adhere to GenICam, somewhat) to work with LabVIEW and IMAQdx (I ultimately gave up), you won't be able to acquire images from the MU130 with LabVIEW.  You might be able to process the images using LabVIEW, however ...

Once you installed Toupview (for Windows), could you "see" the camera through LabVIEW?  Did it show up in MAX as a Camera, allowing you to do a "Snap" or a "Grab"?  That would be a very useful piece of information for any other Amscope camera user hoping to use LabVIEW and IMAQdx.
