NI-IMAQ and 1394B Compatibility

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-IMAQ for IEEE-1394
Primary Software Version: 2.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A
Hardware: Instrument Connectivity Other>>IEEE 1394>>PCI-8252 with NI-IMAQ for 1394

Problem: I recently purchased a Firewire 1394B camera. Does NI firewire hardware/software support this standard?

Solution: As of NI-IMAQ for 1394 version 2.0, the driver software fully supports hardware that adheres to the 1394B standard, as long as the camera is DCAM compliant.

NI sells two 1394B port devices, the PCI-8254R and the PCIe-8255R.

All other NI firewire ports are 1394A ports, including the Compact Vision System (CVS). But, you can purchase any 1394B PCI board off the shelf, and still be able to use our NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 driver, version 2.0 or higher, to get full functionality.
