Mako camera not showing in MAX

[cabbbaggge]

Hi. I have an applied vision mako camera, it works fine on its own software (vimba) and i can see it. I downloaded NI MAX but I can’t see the camera there. The camera is connected via an ethernet cable to a marvel network adapter. The instructions in applied vision said to change the IP of the ethernet so I did that, but I can’t see it on IMAX still.

NI-Max is only the configuration front end. In order to access a GigE camera, you also need to install the NI-IMAQdx driver software, which is part of the Vision Acquisition Software: https://www.ni.com/en/support/downloads/drivers/download.vision-acquisition-software.html

Do you have the Vision Acquisition Software (VAS), which includes the IMAQdx driver, installed?  One way to check is to open MAX, open the Software tab under "My System", and see if NI-IMAQ, NI-IMAQdx, and the Vision Development Module show up.
