This page provided by LabVIEW has some useful troubleshooting points.
- When NI-MAX is used to open the camera, the following error is thrown "Error 0xBFF6901D Unable to load camera's XML file."
- Close NI-MAX
- Navigate to C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\National Instruments\NI-IMAQdx\Data\XML\
- Delete everything in this folder
- Open NI-MAX and select the camera. It might tell you an attribute is out of range, just click 'Ok' and change it in the setting in NI-MAX.
- Note: the items that were deleted will repopulate when NI-MAX is loaded. This is ok!
