Software Overview
This chapter describes the classes of NI-IMAQ for 1394 functions and
briefly describes each function.
Introduction
NI-IMAQ functions are grouped according to the following classes:
• Generic functions
• High-level functions
– Snap functions
– Grab functions
– Sequence functions
– Trigger functions
• Low-level functions
– Acquisition functions
– Attribute functions
– Utility functions
The generic and high-level functions appear within each function class in
the logical order you might need to use them. The low-level functions
appear within each function class in alphabetical order.
