NI-IMAQ Operating System Compatibility Hardware: Image Acquisition (IMAQ)
Problem: What operating systems are compatible with the NI-IMAQ, NI-IMAQdx, and NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 hardware drivers? Solution: National Instruments Vision Acquisition Software (NI-IMAQ, IMAQdx, & IMAQ for IEEE 1394 drivers) support a variety of operating systems depending on the version of the driver you have installed. You can download any version of our vision software from our website. You must have a valid license for software versions 8.0 and later. The following sections describe the compatiblity of our driver with the most common operating systems: Windows National Instuments supports a variety of Windows operating systems depending on the version of the driver you are using. The following charts outline the compatibility with various Windows operating systems by board type (a full list including older drivers can be found in the attached image files): Analog Frame Grabber Boards  Parallel Digital Frame Grabber Boards 
Camera Link Frame Grabber Boards   NI IMAQ for IEEE 1394 The IMAQ for IEEE 1394 legacy driver is a predecessor to IMAQdx, which is the preferred driver that supports both DCAM compliant IEEE 1394 and GigE cameras.  Macintosh National Instruments no longer supports the Macintosh operating system or the NI PCI-1408 frame grabber card. NI-IMAQ Version 1.0 was the only version of the NI-IMAQ driver designed for Macintosh support.
