Troubleshooting Matrox Devices
If you are having trouble using Image Acquisition Toolbox with a supported
Matrox frame grabber, follow these troubleshooting steps:
1 Verify that your image acquisition hardware is functioning properly.
For Matrox devices, run the application that came with your hardware,
Matrox Intellicam, and verify that you can receive live video.
2 If your hardware is functioning properly, verify that you are using a
hardware device driver that is compatible with the toolbox. Image
Acquisition Toolbox is only compatible with specific driver versions
provided with the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) or MIL-Lite software and
is not guaranteed to work with any other versions.
• Find out the driver version you are using on your system. To learn how
to get this information, see “Determining the Driver Version for Matrox
Devices” on page 10-18.
• Verify that the version is compatible with Image Acquisition Toolbox.
For the correct driver information, check the list of supported drivers on
the Image Acquisition Toolbox product page at the MathWorks Web site
(www.mathworks.com/products/imaq).
If you discover that you are using an unsupported driver version, visit the
Matrox Web site (www.matrox.com) to download the correct drivers.
Note There is no difference between MIL and MIL-Lite software inside of
MATLAB. They both work with Matrox Imaging devices.
