Vision builder 2.6 general/tutorial

Question

Hi,
I'm slowly trying to learn the functions of image acquisition and processing with LabVIEW.  So far, I've stepped through some basic tutorials of LabVIEW (check).  Next I installed some NI-IMAQ components and attempted to look at some examples (half check).  Finally, I have found Vision Builder; unfortunately, I do not have a copy of the latest version and I'm forced to use a trial version of Vision Builder 2.6.
At this point, I'm kinda stuck because I can't seem to find any good Vision Builder tutorials.  I understand that the program itself comes with a few example programs, but it doesn't help to much if it doesn't go through each building step.  National Instruments has some video tutorials online, but it looks like the tutorials are with respect to new versions of Vision Builder with differing interfaces.
Finally, my reason for resorting to Vision Builder is because I downloaded some LabVIEW image processing tutorials, but some of the sub.vi's were missing (IMAQ mult, IMAQ sub).  So as a result, I was unable to step through the projects, or observe how they functioned.  I downloaded Vision Builder because someone mentioned that it might update my .vi library so I could run these image processing programs.  But now I'm still unable to run these programs, and I have another program that I need to learn.
Does anyone have any recommendations of tutorial sites, or pages that might help get me started with Vision Builder?  Or possibly any general suggestions about how to go about programming a vision processing program (maybe I'm not understanding the process correctly)?

Answer 1

Well it looks like no one replied to this post.
Just for a future reference (if anyone else has a question like this)
I called National Instruments and talked with one of their applications engineers.  This description of the products helped me get a better understanding of how each one works, etc.
LabVIEW is Lower level programming that involves customization of user interfaces, peripheral device control, and data manipulation.  LabVIEW is the center piece of the National Instruments software that will integrate code from other NI products.
IMAQ is a supplemental package that can be added on to LabVIEW for additional functionality.  IMAQ provides LabVIEW with a library of image acquisition functions.
Vision Assistant functions much like LabVIEW itself.  The Vision Assistant provides the user with image processing functions which clean/restore/manipulate an image so that it can be handled in LabVIEW or the Vision Builder.  Vision Assistant code can be exported so that it can be handled by LabVIEW.
Vision Builder is a complete control/programming module in and of itself.  The program interface provides a high level programming design which controls the image acquisition, all the way through the image processing.  Vision Builder also contains the Vision Assistant.
Vision Development Module is a combination of the Vision Assistant and the Vision Builder.  First off, the module provides LabVIEW with an extensive library that contains many of the image processing functions that is included with Vision Assistant.  Secondly, the program also has an embedded Vision Builder program, that gives the user the option of a provided UI, or self developed UI through LabVIEW.  The Vision Development Module is a complete package of vision acquisition and processing software.
