hi,
 I use a wireless camera with usb receiver ( usb adapter ) , and I started with NI-IMAQ USB Driver Guide,
the guide asks for launching Vision Assistant and select  Acquire Image
, but, I got  message  "The settings for this camera are not valid". ??
 
I do not know what to do?
 
Can anybody help me, please?
 
Note : the camera works with another program.
 
 
thanks,

Hello NooR,There are a couple of things you might want to check regarding the compatibility of your USB camera with NI software.&nbsp; Is your camera Direct Show compliant?&nbsp; Are you trying to acquire from multiple cameras?&nbsp; Here is a document which discusses the camera specification requirements for the USB driver:<a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/89E33B77CFE244E986256F8E004E0F13?OpenDocument" target="_blank"> What Cameras are Supported by the NI-IMAQ for USB Driver?</a> Also did you check that you meet the system requirements that are listed on the <a href="http://sine.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5030" target="_blank">IMAQ for USB driver</a> page (Windows 2000/XP, LabVIEW 7.0 or higher AND NI Vision 7.1 or higher, etc.)? Another thing to check since the NI-IMAQ for USB driver communicates with
the Direct Show Filter of the camera's driver which uses localized
strings, if you are on a foreign OS this may be the origin of the issue.&nbsp; For more information about how to determine what the localized string is, and how we
can add support for other OSes to the driver, please see the thread below:
