Solution
The same NI-IMAQ driver can be generally used for any frame grabbers that are supported by that version of NI-IMAQ. For example, NI-IMAQ 19.0 (included in the Vision Acquisition Software 19.0 installer) is compatible with the following Camera Link frame grabbers:
- PCIe-1437
- PCIe-1433
- PXIe-1435
- PCIe-1430
- PCIe-1429
- PCIe-1427
- PCI-1428
- PCI-1426
The same basic acquisition code should work for each of these frame grabbers, as long as you are not using functionality specific to a certain frame grabber (see Additional Information below).
Newer versions of the NI-IMAQ driver may drop support for older frame grabbers. Refer to the Readme file of the newer IMAQ version to ensure that it is still compatible with your device before upgrading.
