I'm attempting to learn to use NI-IMAQ. Configuration Question

[slow]

I'm attempting to learn to use NI-IMAQ. I'm currently using an HP laptop (Windows 7) and it has an in built laptop webcam (VGA) which I would like to use to learn how to use NI-IMAQ. I'm attempting to configure the device in the Measurement & Automation Explorer (as described in another help KB article) but the device is not showing up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have NI-IMAQ 4.1.6 installed. Is there additional software needed?

Hey install this package NI IMAQ for USB.

In a related question... I'm having trouble determining if my webcamera (a Logitech C270) is Directshow compatible. Does anyone have an answer?

Also, is the mentioned NI-IMAQ for USB the same as IMAQ 4.6.4, NI-IMAQ I/O 2.2 and NI-IMAQdx 3.2?

No all are different drivers.

Hi,

You need to install IMAQdx, IMAQ won't be helpfull for you. And IMAQ-USB is not supported anymore.

And it seems that all logitech webcams are directshow compatibles.
