Can i use labview to capture and process images from ip cameras connected to a switch.

Hi,
i have more then one ip cameras conneted in LAN by a switch. i have a PC conneted to same switch. is it possible to capture images from these ip cameras and process them(for example performing simple barcode scan or QR-code scan or OCR)? Which IP cameras will be supported?

There is functionally no difference whether the camera is connected directly to the system or via a switch. Both should work the same. The only real requirement that you'd need to care about is whether the switch can pass multicast UDP traffic correctly (this is used for network discovery of IP cameras). Generally all unmanaged switches (probably what you are using) will treat multicast traffic identical to broadcast traffic, but some managed switches/routers may need to be configured to pass multicast.

Set up of system for acquiring/processing images from digital camera

Hi all,
I am new to LabVIEW and I need to choose and install a system camera+software able to acquire and process images. I would like to achieve this as painlessly as possible, by choosing the appropriate equipment. I was thinking of buying an industrian camera with GigE interface amongst the list of NI supported cameras.
Once I have that, what software do I need in order to acquire and process images with LabVIEW? Do I need NI-IMAQdx and If I already have NI-IMAQ, do I need to purchase a license for NI-IMAQdx?
What steps are required to install and configure the system? If anyone can give suggestions on how to implement this systemit would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

As Paul suggested the software you need will be the NI Vision Acquisition Software, NI-IMAQ alone will not be sufficient.
Take a look at this tutorial, part one gives a nice bit of background and part two gives you specifics on how to set things up.

Can I use iPhoto to view and edit images not stored in the iPhoto Library

Hi folks,
I'm a newbie to Mac after 20+ years on PC...just switched 2 weeks ago....wish I'd done it years ago. Everythings so easy and fast...e.g. setup wireless broadband in 25 mins with no probs....and I have never done anything like that.
Here's my Q.
I have a load of images, downloads and scans, of old manuscripts, authors etc. which I don't really want in my iPhoto library (which I would like to keep for actual photos. Is it possible to point iPhoto to another location (say in Documents) where it will let me view and edit these images without importing them into the library.
Alternatively can I view images as thumbnails in this other locations, and not as default file type icons.
Hope this is plain,

Hi jp-mac,
iPhoto 5 imports all images into it's own database. (this has changed with iPhoto 6 so you might want to check out iLife 6)
The other files you want to view but not have in the library...are they image files?
If so, you can view that folder as icons and then make the icons larger so you can see what they are.
To do this open the folder in question. click the first icon on top of View in the toolbar. This will make that folder contents view as icons
Now go all the way to the top of your screen and click on View>show view options.
Slide the icon size slider all the way to the right to view them larger. Also make sure you have the "show icon preview" checked.
This will work most of the time, but sometimes if you edit images in other applications they might not make icon previews, so check their preferences to make sure you have that checked.
There is also a little third party program that will do it for you.
One is called Pic2Icon
Pic2Icon
Another one is a contextual menu item called QuickImageCM.
QuickImageCM
check out that page because there are some other useful contextual menu items that I use all the time.

How can I use Ipad to view and delete photos from SD card without importing?

Importantly I would like to view the photos from the SD card in full screen (vs. just a thumbnail) before deciding whether to delete.
It seem's that with the camera connection kit you can only view them as thumbnails before importing.
Any other apps or hardware I could consider?
Basically I would like to use the Ipad as my travel photo editing tool - specifically I want to be able to delete unwanted photos from my SD card without having to actually import them into the Ipad (but would like to be able to benefit from quality of ipad screen to actually review the photos before deleting).
Thanks in advance for any tips you can share .....

You must import if you want the iPad to have a file to display on the screen.

Does iPhone Packager CS 5.5 support camera access and LOADING images from the camera roll?

Flash CS 5 only supports SAVING to the camera roll, not loading image from it. And it has no access to the camera to take pictures and access the image within the app.
Does Flash CS 5.5 do these things? There's no point in upgrading if it doesn't support these core feature that I need.

Hi.
Just got an app rejected because the popover to select the pics from the camera roll on the iPad always appears on to-left corner, and the arrow doesn't point anywere, and should be pointing to the button which activated it. That "does not comply with the Apple iOS Human Interface Guidelines, as required...". On the iPhone there's no issue because it takes over the whole screen. More from the apple rejection message:
"Specifically, we noticed your app contained popover elements that didn't point to the element that revealed them. To avoid user confusion, a popover element's arrow should point to the element that revealed it."
So, thanks for including the CameraRoll functionality, but it will be useless in the iPad apparently
Any workaround to make it appear at a specific place when calling myCameraRoll.browseForImage() ?

Can i use the HDMI port and the Mini displayport to HDMI adapter simultaneously to switch between two displays?

I just bought a new Mac Mini and was hoping that i can connect my TV via the HDMI port and also connect a 19" monitor via the Minidispaly port to HDMI adapter or the Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter. This way i can pick between having the screen mirrored to my tv, or having the screen displayed at my desk.
Is this possible?

Yes. Note the resolution via HDM is limited to
This model simultaneously supports 1920x1200 on an HDMI or a DVI display (using the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter) and2560x1600 on a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort display or even a VGA display (with an optional Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter, which is compatible with the Thunderbolt port).

Can i use icloud as storage and delete pictures from macbook?

My macbook is currently full. I would like to know if i can move all photos/videos to icloud then delete them from macbook. My fear is the backup would run and realize they were not on the macbook then delete them from the cloud.

I would like to know if i can move all photos/videos to icloud then delete them from macbook
You cannot save space on your Mac by moving documents and photos to iCloud, because iCloud Drive will create shadow copies of every file it stores on your Mac. iCloud Drive is meant to keep all your documents updated on all devices. (see this link: iCloud Drive FAQ) Using iCloud Drive you will need as much space as before, the advantage is that the drive will look the same on all your devices. To save storage on your Mac get yourself an external drive and move your photos to that drive. And make sure your new drive will be included in your Time Machine backup.
Before you delete any files from your Mac, make sure, that you have at least one working backup and can read the moved files on the new drive.

Can I use iCloud for sending and receiving emails from my own domain name?

Hello,
Hope that someone can help me please.
I have my own unique registered domain name.
Currently I am using the gmail server to transmit and receive email - I am using Mail on a MacBook, and an iPhone. Works just fine.
However, I was wondering if the iCloud can be set up to also provide this same function?
If so how do we achieve this?
Appreciate your comments and advice.

Please ignore this question. Or tell me how to delete it.

Using video and audio signal from a camera connect...

Why is it not possible and is skype intending to implement the ability to use the video signal form a digital camcorder connected to a tv?
A lot of people these days have digital camcorders or digital cameras that produce video signal. Why can't those be supported as video input by skype?

Hi,
The following ports are at the back of your computer:
Figure 4: Back I/O panel
1 - USB 2.0: 4
2 - LAN
3 - DVI-D
4 - D-SUB port (VGA port)
5 - Audio: Line in
6 - Audio: Line out
7 - Audio: Microphone
You already mentioned DVI-HDMI : it works but no sound. That's true because DVI does not carry audio signals. All you need is using RCA cable to connect port #6 to your TV.

When I try and download photos from my camera, the system automatically launches Photo Viewer in Win 8.1. This causes my Adobe Bridge to lock up.

I recently bought a new computer with Win 8.1 installed. When I installed CS6 64 bit, the installation went seamlessly. My problem is that when I try and download images from my camera, it automatically launches the Windows Photo software to download the photos. I would like to use the Bridge to do this for several reasons. If I turn off the Windows Photo program, it takes me back to Bridge but when I click on Download Photos, it causes Bridge to lock up.
If I click on download photos before I turn on my camera, it does not find the camera (as expected) but then I turn on the camera and reset list and Bridge finds the camera and I can download the photos. Then if I try and download additional photos, Bridge locks up and I need to turn off the software and reboot the computer in order to get anything to download.
I have gone to the System Settings and changed the AutoPlay settings to automatically select Bridge when I download Pictures...I also selected Bridge for the Memory Card. Under Devices, my camera is listed and that is set to "Import Photos and Videos"
Any suggestions?

See my response to your other post.

Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Win32 function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.

Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory from a VI? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Call Library function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.
The data is being received at 1Mbps.
Thanks

Two questions:
One, if it's a serial card, then presumably it gives you more serial ports, like COM3, COM4, etc. If so, VISA would see the COM ports, and not the card directly. The drivers for the card should make it so that you see the extra serial ports from the OS. If you don't see the extra COM ports from VISA, then it sounds like the drivers for the card are not installed properly. Do the extra COM ports show up in Device Manager?
Two, you said that you're using a Call Library function to get the data and you want to put it into system memory. Errr.... you just read the data and you have it in memory by definition. Are you saying you need a way to parse the data so it shows up on a graph or something?

Thank you in advance.

If you are trying to use In/Out port functions that come with LabVIEW they will not work with NT. I think the AccessHW file at the following link will fix that problem:

and do some searchs at NI.com for parallel port, you should find some more usefull info.

How can we use cl_gui_html_viewer      in a background process.

Hello,
Refering to this thread: Pie chart using Class cl_igs_chart ??
How can we use cl_gui_html_viewer     in a background process.
I want to execute a html code in bakground process in abap program.
but using cl_gui_html_viewer   I have an error with CNTL_ERROR in the method CONSTRUCTOR;
Thanks

Marie,
I don't know about HTML viewer specifically, but whenever a GUI object is needed to be used in background, there is a standard method to avoid CNTL_ERROR.
When a program runs in background, there is no "screen" and hence no GUI, and hence a custom control can not be displayed. That is why the program generates an error.
The trick is to avoid creating the custom control in background.
if sy-batch = 'X'. "background mode
*   We don't want to create the custom control
else. "dialog mode
    create object l_container exporting ...
endif.
* We really don't need a container for using CL_GUI_ objects
* Proceed with the normal coding
create object l_html_viewer
exporting
    parent = l_container

How can i use Nikon D 7100 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 with Photoshop CS 5 Camera Raw?

How can i use Nikon D 7100 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 with Photoshop CS 5 Camera Raw?

The one needs 7.4 (or better), the other 8.1, so Photoshop CS5 with ACR6 is not up to the task.
The free DNG Converter could be used to convert the RAW images to DNG which your version of ACR should be able to process.

Can I use LabVIEW to program a Galil controller, such as the DMC 740?

Can I use LabVIEW to program a Galil controller, such as the DMC 740? need a driver.

vmagui,
I don't know a Galil DMC-740. Do you mean the Galil DMC-1740? In this case you are talking about an ISA bus board and it might be hard to find a PC that provides ISA bus slots and enough power to run an up to date LabVIEW version.
In general LabVIEW is an open platform, so if Galil provides a LabVIEW library or at least a well documented DLL you should be able to use their boards in LabVIEW. You should contact Galil for this information.
If you are really talking about an ISA board you should consider an upgrade to a newer bus technology like PCI. NI also provides a whole range of high quality motion control products that are at least comparable to Galil boards (http://www.ni.com/motion). A good LabVIEW integration for these devices is self-evident and they integrate easily with other NI products like multifunction data acquisition boards, machine vision products and bus interfaces.
Kind regards,
