NI-IMAQdx and NI-IMAQ Driver Software[1]
The NI PCIe-1437 ships with NI Vision Acquisition Software, which includes the NI-IMAQdx and NI-IMAQ driver software. Both NI-IMAQdx and NI-IMAQ have an extensive library of functions—such as routines for video configuration, continuous and single shot image acquisition, memory buffer allocation, trigger control, and device configuration—you can call from the application development environment (ADE).
NI-IMAQdx and NI-IMAQ perform all functions required for acquiring and saving images but does not perform image analysis. Refer to the National Instruments Application Software section for image analysis functionality.
NI-IMAQ also provides the interface between the NI PCIe-1437 and LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, or a text-based programming environment. In addition to the ADEs supported by NI-IMAQ, NI-IMAQdx also provides support for LabVIEW NXG 2.1 and later.
1 NI recommends the use of NI-IMAQdx as the driver for interfacing with the NI PCIe-1437. NI-IMAQ only includes support for the NI PCIe-1437 to maintain backwards compatibility.
