My IMAQ Trigger VIs Do Not Work with the PCI-1408 or PXI-1408

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-IMAQ
Primary Software Version: 3.5.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A
Hardware: Image Acquisition (IMAQ)>>Analog Image Devices>>PCI-1408, Image Acquisition (IMAQ)>>Analog Image Devices>>PXI-1408

Problem:
When I try to run a program that uses an IMAQ Trigger VI with my PCI/PXI-1408, I get error -1074397126 that occurs at an IMAQ Trigger VI:

NI-IMAQ: Hardware not capable of supporting this operation.

How can I get the program to work with my PCI/PXI-1408?



Solution:
The four original IMAQ Trigger VIs are IMAQ Configure Trigger, IMAQ Trigger Drive, IMAQ Trigger Read, and IMAQ Trigger Route. These are deprecated VIs, meaning that they have been replaced by newer versions of the IMAQ Trigger VIs, but can still be accessed if needed. The newer versions have an appended number (2 or above) signifying the version of the VI, e.g. IMAQ Configure Trigger.vi is deprecated and IMAQ Configure Trigger2.vi was the next version. The PCI/PXI-1408 only supports the original versions, which do not have an appended number.

To replace the newer IMAQ Trigger VIs with an earlier IMAQ Trigger VI:

1. Right-click on the VI
2. Choose Replace»All Palettes»Select a VI...
3. Browse to the following directory: labview\vi.lib\vision\driver\
4. Open imaqsignalio.llb and select the IMAQ Trigger VI which you need.
