The Imaging Source DFK FireWire Camera Not Appearing in MAX

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-IMAQdx
Primary Software Version: 3.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
Why does my FireWire camera produced by The Imaging Source (model DFK 31BF03-Z) not appear in MAX?

Solution:
If the DFK 31BF03-Z will not appear in MAX, the problem is most likely due to the camera's firmware being out-of-date. Run the BFChecker.exe program included in the attached zip file to check the current firmware and if the camera uses firmware older than version 3209, simply run the BFFirmwareUpdate.exe program to update. Updating the firmware to version 3209 using the attached file will allow the camera to be recognized by MAX under NI-IMAQdx Devices.
