Issue Details

I can use my camera resource in my LabVIEW program but cannot perform any actions in NI MAX because a question mark with blue background appears.

Solution

This behavior is expected for NI MAX version 16 as there was an issue where NI-VISA was trying to also detect the hardware but was failing due to the lack of information, resulting in unusable hardware. In order to solve this issue please upgrade NI MAX to the latest version with the help of this article: Installing NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX)
