Hello everyone
What is the easiest way to find out the interface name of a camera?
The only way i know is clicking the right button of a mouse on camera icon in NI max.
But NI max doesn't give me a interface name of the camera because i don't have NI frame grabber.
Any way, Is there any other way?
And in case of usb3.0 camera, can i get a interface name without NI frame grabber??
Please help me.

-Which camera you are using?
-What type of camera you are using?
-What are your NI MAX and NI LabVIEW versions?
-Did you install Vision Acquisition Software, if yes what version?
-IMAQdx Enumerate Cameras VI will return list of cameras connected if that's what you are looking for.

-Which camera you are using? -What type of camera you are using?
i used watec 902H Ultimate and this is an analog type. i think that anlaog type is not read in LabVIEW so i'm looking for a new camera. am i right?
-What are your NI MAX and NI LabVIEW versions?
i'm using 2015versions
-Did you install Vision Acquisition Software, if yes what version?
yes i have it and also 2015version
-IMAQdx Enumerate Cameras VI will return list of cameras connected if that's what you are looking for.

What error you got? Posting VI or snippet could help.
-Analog cameras are supported in LabVIEW as per my understanding.
-Since you told Analog camera, I think you should use IMAQ functions and not IMAQdx: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0564022DAFF513D2862579490057D42E
-Does the camera show up in NI MAX?
-You are able to capture images in NI MAX?
-How you have connected Camera and PC?

I attached my vi and 2 errors
-Does the camera show up in NI MAX? -You are able to capture images in NI MAX?
yes, it showes up in NI MAX and i can grab images in NI MAX.
-How you have connected Camera and PC?
I have a frame grabber from sky tv(korea company) not a NI frame grabber.
My camera and frame grabber is connected by bnc cable.
I really appreciate your help!

-Could you post your screenshot of NI MAX along with Camera information tab.
-If in MAX, bus type is Directshow, you should be using IMAQdx. Can you post screesnhot of error what you got when you used imaqdx enumerate cameras?
-Sorry if i am confusing, because when you told analog camera according to here : http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/12892 IMAQ driver is for analog. I have never used analog cameras so i am not exactly sure which driver it is using.

I attached some screenshots.
And there is no error when i use IMAQdx enumeration.VI
thank you for your help.

yes, interface name is correct.
if i run the vi i sent to you after put my camera's interface name, two errors happen as i sent to you.
then, do you mean that those errors happen because my VI is consist of IMAQ and my camera ni IMAQdx??
