Thank you for all your help I know its gets annoying
The LabVIEW CMUCam2 App.2006.01.13.zip file contains the LLB file among others. That LLB file is simply a "LabVIEW LiBrary"... it contains LabVIEW "VIs" (Virtual Instruments) that actually are the code. Inside the LLB file, you'll find a file called "CMUcam2 App GUI.vi" (or something very similar, don't have it in front of me). That is the application to run to test and calibrate your camera settings.

Don't forget that you will need to download NI VISA to allow you to use the serial port on your PC. Your first step, however is installing LabVIEW from the CD that came in your Kit and activating it. Make sure you can open LabVIEW by itself before you try anything else.

Start the CMUCam2 GUI by selecting the white run arrow, on the toolbar above the CMUCam2 title at the top left of the screen.
To load the parameters for the 2006 Vision Sensor target select the Load Config From File button to the right of the Track Frame display area."
Once you get VISA installed you should be able to select you com port in the application and click the little run arrow on the toolbar.

Good luck!
