I believe IMAQdx is a Driver, so needs to be added from the Driver disk. You should get a choice of IMAQ, IMAQdx, and IMAQ I/O. At the bottom of the Why is the IMAQ or IMAQdx Function Palette Missing in LabVIEW? Article, it refers to 'Vision Acquisition Software (VAS) has been successfully activated on the computer, or that the product.
SolutionIn order to access the NI-IMAQ and NI-IMAQdx driver APIs from within LabVIEW, the must be properly installed and activated on the development machine. Verify that the version of the Vision Acquisition Software (VAS) you are installing is. You can find the compatible LabVIEW versions for in the for the version of VAS you are using. For example, look in the section for VAS 2018 to see what LabVIEW versions are compatible. Ensure that the Vision Acquisition Software (VAS) has been successfully activated on the computer, or that the product evaluation period has not expired by checking its status in.
The NI-IMAQdx API is a licensed product, and the associated NI-IMAQdx VIs will not be visible within LabVIEW if the Vision Acquisition Software (VAS) has not been activated and the trial period has expired. Ensure that.
If you have installed LabVIEW successfully on the machine, the LabVIEW API installation options should be visible when running the Vision Acquisition Software (VAS) installer (as seen in the image below). If the Vision Acquisition Software (VAS) is installed before LabVIEW, these options may not be visible. If you have Vision Acquisition Software already installed on your computer and want to check if LabVIEW Support for it was installed properly:. Open Control Panel on Windows. Choose Programs and Features. Select National Instruments Software. Select U ninstall/Change.
In the dialog box find NI-IMAQ and choose Modify. The installer will launch and you will be able to modify the installation.
If you used to have the NI-IMAQ and NI-IMAQdx palettes and VIs but they no longer appear in the palettes anymore,. Additional InformationNI Vision Acquisition Software (VAS) is the National Instruments driver software used for acquiring, displaying, logging, and monitoring images from a wide range of different camera types.
Installing these drivers results in added function palettes in the LabVIEW development environment corresponding to each subset of the driver API. Note: If you are using Vision Acquisition Software August 2015 and do not activate that software at the time of install or during the trial period, you will not be prompted to activate if you attempt to use the NI-IMAQdx VIs later on. The NI-IMAQdx VIs will not appear on the palette and VIs using these functions will be broken. To fix this, activate the software in NI License Manager.
Note: The NI-IMAQ driver (used for NI Camera Link frame grabbers only) does not require activation.
