NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 and NI-IMAQdx

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-IMAQ for IEEE-1394
Primary Software Version: 2.0.2
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem: My LabVIEW program was developed using the NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 driver. Since this driver has since been changed to the NI-IMAQdx driver, what will I need to do in order to upgrade my program?

Solution: There are basically two options that you have:

Keep your code exactly the same
The NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 driver is now considered "legacy". However, it will still install and activate with the NI-IMAQdx driver. These VI's can still be found and used at the following function palette location:

Vision and Motion » NI-IMAQdx » Legacy

Any problems or bugs that are encountered with this driver will not be updated by R&D. Also, the functionalities of the IMAQdx driver will not be available through these VI's. In order to fully take advantage of the NI-IMAQdx driver, the VI's will need to be replaced with those from that driver.

Upgrade your VI's to NI-IMAQdx
Most of the VI's from NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 are a 1-to-1 replacement in NI-IMAQdx. These VI's can be replaced with the corresponding VI's from NI-IMAQdx to fully take advantage of the new API.
