How to interface with Chameleon camera

Hi everyone,
I am trying to use Labview to control Chameleon camera, which is from Point Grey Research. I am using the ActiveX control interface and I have encounter a problem of using "Call Library Function" node. I am using that node to get the image array from a pointer and trying to display. However, the "Call Library Function" node doen't work.
I am wondering how can I get the image array from a pointer that is used by the FlyCapture?
Was there anyone experience the same thing?
Thanks.
Carson

CarsonZ,
Please check to see if your camera is supported by the Industrial Camera Advisor. Also, when you say that the Call Library Function node does not work, does it return a specific error message or just not return any data?
Lastly, is the FlyCapture application an ActiveX enabled application? If so you should be able to register for events and also pull the information from the application by running through this help document.

How to interface with ROWID column in DB2?

I'm using DB2 version 7.1.
I have a column in a table called ROWID, and the Data Type is ROWID. However, I don't know how to interface with it in Java. For example, for CHAR and VARCHAR, I use the String class. For SMALLINT, I use int, etc. But what do I use for ROWID? It's not in the java.sql.Types list. The DB2 manual says it is stored as a VARCHAR(17), but I didn't just want to assume I could use String.
Any thoughts?

try getObject() and see what kind of object you get:
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("...");
while(rs.next()) {
Object o = rs.getObject(1); // the rowid column
System.out.println(o + " class: " + o.getClass().getName());
}

Hi. I have a Macbook Pro Model 5,5 with one 800 firewire port. I need to create two firewire 800 ports but only have an SD card slot (this is for video interface with 2 cameras). Is this possible or do I have to have an express card slot in order to do

Hi. I have a Macbook Pro Model 5,5 with one 800 firewire port. I need to create two firewire 800 ports but only have an SD card slot (this is for video interface with 2 cameras). Is this possible or do I have to have an express card slot in order to do this?

Hi Jessica,
No, the SD slot will not work, you need an ExpressCard/34 slot.
I do not know if it works with cameras, but with two or more HDs, if the first one has two FW ports, you can "daisy chain" one or more additional HDs from it.

TrueTime Card and how to interface with dll file!?

I am trying to interface with a PCI-SG 2U (IRIG) timing card (Used to made by TrueTime, now Symmetricom). Does anyone have a solution for this card in LV 2009?
If not, can anyone give advice on writing code to interface with .dll file? I am not sure how to pass through the "GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE" into the function to open the device. The function says to open it is:
TT_OpenDevice(boardID, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, &hDevice)
No clue on how to pass this in. Can anyone help?
Thanks -
Tom

Thanks Mike. I do have the .h file and the sdk information. I went through and used the Import>Shared Library Tool and was able to find all the header information that way. I guess that my problem/question is, the documentation says that it is a DWORD to pass as an input, but LabVIEW says it is a uint32. I guess the real question is, what the heck do I pass in to the dll function? Should it be the string "GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE" or something else?
Thanks -

How ACR works with in-camera controls and ADR (Nikon D-lighting)

After using Bridge for years, exploring more intense in-camera color and ADR controls in my D700 has revealed something I did not know and wonder if there is a solution: Seen in the Bridge thumbnails, the photos show the effects of the in-camera settings, but when I click through to camera raw, the photos lose it, no color effects. How can I retain the in-camera choices in Camera Raw and thus in the save files in tiff which I prefer for working files. Thanks for answering what must be a very basic question.

The answer is actually very simple, Gary: What you are seeing is perfectly normal, expected behavior. It is as designed, and you cannot change that.
Those in-camera settings you reference apply exclusively to JPEG images, not to raw image captures.
What Bridge is showing you is not a rendering (conversion) of the raw image data, but rather the JPEG preview that is embedded by the camera at the time of recording the image and to which the camera does apply the camera settings. Depending on your Bridge preference settings, a new preview will be created once you apply your changes to the file.
Adobe Camera Raw is not designed to emulate the conversion performed by the camera manufacturer's software, whether in-camera or otherwise, but to preserve the entire range of characteristics of the image and offer you absolute control over the entire rendering process as well as to give you certain canned camera profiles to automate and/or speed the process.
Camera manufacturers design their raw conversion, in-camera and otherwise, to compress the shadows in order to hide digital chroma noise, and to provide an over-contrasty, over-saturated and over-sharpened look that appeals to the majority of consumers. Any savvy, experienced Adobe Camera Raw user can easily emulate said camera manufacturer's software and produce an identical result to the in-camera JPEG.
If you want to "retain the in-camera choices in Camera Raw and thus in the save files in tiff which [you] prefer for working files" you can either (a) shoot straight JPEGs, or (b) come up with your own Camera Raw presets that mimic the conversion of the camera manufacturer.
Raw means raw, uncooked, unsalted and unseasoned. The in-camera JPEG has already been cooked, salted and seasoned with pepper according to the camera manufacturer's criteria of what constitutes a good rendering of the image. A good, experienced cook can produce a much better, finer, more sophisticated cooked, salted and seasoned with a myriad herbs image from the raw capture with Adobe Camera Raw, in accordance with the skill, intention of the artist that produced the shot.
Adobe Camera raw gives you complete control, and it allows you to mimic or reproduce whatever look you want including the above described over-contrasty, over-saturated and over-sharpened look that appeals to the majority of consumers, once you learn how to use Adobe Camera Raw to its full extent. Here's an excellent place to start:

LabVIEW 3.1 SE: how to interface with Centronics

I would to interface my serial ADC (ADS7822) via
Centronics so I was wondering how I can do it
by usinf LabVIEW 3.1 Student Version.
Thanks in advance.

The printer port (Centronics) is parallel communication and you'll need a converter. The ones in my Black Box catalog (www.blackbox.com) are not cheap - ~U$100. Cheaper to buy another serial port card for the computer. You'd then have the problem of how to communicate with the parallel port. Version 3.1 is extremely old. With a newer LabVIEW version you'd have more options.

How LV interfaces with a microcontroller (serial communication).

I am starting to design a system that uses an RFIC, a microcontroller and a VI to act as a user interface. The microcontroller outputs in RS232 to a Lantronix device which packages up the information and sends it over a network. I plan on using LV's VISA to locate the device. I have not worked with a system like this before and I would like to know how LV sees the data that is being sent over the network and how I can unpackage the data and make sense of it in LV, then output data to be sent to the uC. I would appreciate any suggestions anyone may have.

The Lantronix device will install a device driver to the PC that creates a virtual com port. LabVIEW will communicate with that com port (Let's say Com8) through VISA. The device driver will handle the communication with the Lantronix device over the network.
The Lantronix device I used is pretty sophisticated, and was not that easy to set up. It may also have other methods of communication such as talking to it TCP/IP. If I remember correctly, it also had a local terminal mode and a remote terminal mode.
In the end, once I figured out the trick to getting the device driver to work (the instructions were just not that obvious on how you had to set up the ports and open up the firewall to make it work), I was able to use it just like I said at the beginning as a Virtual com port. I've used other remote serial devices that were truly much more plug and play.

How to interface with NI PCI-7344

Hi,
First off,i have to say im a newbie with labview so if tis is some stupid qns,my apologies.I nid to work out a program using LabView 8.0 to control a stepper motor thru NI PXI-7344 and the NI UMI-7764.

Nova,
Since you have a PXI-7344, it should have come with the NI-Motion
driver. Is that something that you have installed currently? If not,
you can find the latest version here.
To learn how to programmatically control a stepper motor, you might
want to start off by taking a look at some of the examples that come
with LabVIEW. To access them, open up LabVIEW, then go to Help >>
Find Examples...
Using the Browse by Task option, expand the Hardware Input and Output
folder, and then the Motion Control folder. Here you will find many
examples that you can examine to learn her to program your motion
control application.

How to Interface with IP in Kernel

I have a unique problem regd solaris network stack.
I want to add a new protocol over solaris IP, say RIP.
How can it be done ?? Does Solaris IP use the published NPI interface ??
or does it use some other published interface ??
Can we write a streams module and push it over IP driver to get particular protocols packets from IP??
If i want to replace IPSec module of Solaris because of some proprietary feature enhancement, is it possible to do that ??

Labview interface with wireless camera

Has anyone interfaced labview with a wireless webcamera? I have an application that needs to interface my existing labview program with a wireless webcam (802.11b) to monitor a certain space and display live video on the main labview screen.
Thanks in advance.

Most probably your webcam comes with drivers for Video for Windows (VfW)
or DirectX. In that case you can just use:
Irene He's IVision Toolkit:
http://www.hytekautomation.com/Products/ IVision.html
or
Pete Parentes WebCam library:
http://www.cs.unc.edu/~parente/labview/ index.shtml
The first is a rather impressive Video Manipulation library with a
nice video capture interface to DirectX/VfW too, and the second is a
simple video capture library to access any VfW compliant
device.
