Hi Jam.Hall
I am somewhat hesitant to say you will be able to use this camera with LabVIEW.  It all depends on what functionality you are wanting to utilise on the camera, and how much video you want to analyze.
 - If you want to use the wireless functionality, I am concered that the on board web server will compress and embed the video stream.  I do not beleive this is something we can access in LabVIEW.
 - If you wish to use the ethernet connection, if it is Gigabit Ethernet, then you should be able to use our IMAQ for GigE driver to bring in the feed, but looking at the specs for the camera, I'm not sure that this is an option.
 - My other suggestion might be to utilise the record video stream function that the camera has.  Depending on the format of the video file, you may be able to read in the recorded file and analyse it in LabVIEW.
If you could explain the purpose of your application, and what you would like to achieve with the system, there may be more suitable products that you can use.
Kind regards,

    in many countries to make phones seem less expensive
    carriers pay most of the phones price for the customer
    but this come at the cost of the phone only being able to work
    with the carrier this is called a sim lock
    the only people who can remove a sim lock is the carrier which
    the phone is sim locked to they been doing it like that for at least 20 years

    I just find the section out for you about remote control of your
    camera:
    1.7.1 Remote Control.
    Redlake Imaging also supplies the Serial1 program that enables a
    computer to control the
    MotionScope system from a remote location through the serial port.
    Refer to Manual Addendum
    9400-0014 for detai
    ls of the Serial1 program and how to control the
    MotionScope system from a
    remote computer using a standard communications program.
    So you need to find the serial command (for RS232) in manual addendum
    9400-0014. I couldn't find it in website maybe I did not search
    throughly, but you may have it if you own the camera. And these
    commands are just for controlling the camera system, not grabbing the
    image, so you may need a frame grabber to get the image into your
    computer and do the further processing.

    It looks like the Redlake VIs from ImageMill allow you to write serial commands to your camera. In LabVIEW, you should be able to write your own serial commands using the Serial Read/Write examples that ship with LabVIEW.
    I'm curios exactly which Redlake digital camera you have. Redlake cameras are often found under the names Roper (their parent company) or Kodak. I suggest going to www.ni.com/cameras to see if there is a camera file written for your specific camera. If not, please go to www.ni.com/ask to contact an applications engineer.

  • Possible to use stsadm export / import to copy subsite to the same site with diff subsite name?

    In the same site is that possible to use stsadm export/import to copy subsite to a new diff subsite name?
    I do not want to use the SaveAs Template method, I need command mode.

    You should create an empty site.
    Go to your site collection and click siteactions --> new site --> Select custom template, click create.
    Here you choose meeting2 as Title/url
    Now execute your import command (Import-SPWeb http://vee:111/meeting2 -Path
    C:\temp\meeting_exp.cmp -UpdateVersions -Overwrite) 
    Now wait, when the import is finished, check your site!
    That should do it.

  • Is it possible to get 2-ch signals from TDS2012 oscilloscope at the same time with LabVIEW "7.0"?

    Hi, everyone.
    I've been trying to get the signals from 2-ch of Tektronix TDS2012 oscilloscope at the same time using IVI connection with LabVIEW "7.0"
    I've already searched this developer zone for the answer.
    I've tried the famous example: "IviScope - Acq Dual Wfm Edge Triggered.vi"
    and it gave me the error message like:
    Error -1074110451 occurred at IviScope Initialize With Options.vi
    Possible reason(s):
    Driver Status:  (Hex 0xBFFA600D) Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFA600D) The Config Server module is not present on the system.
    I think I've installed all~ the required softwares for IVI. For example, ICP 2.2, IVI engine 2.0.46, and tktds1k2k ivi (instrument driver for tds2012, in fact this one is for LabVIEW "7.1"... :-P)
    TDS2012 and my computer is connected through HPIB(GPIB) and it is shown on the MAX (a GPIB instrument as well as an IVI hardware asset)
    I've tried GPIB connection but it gives me asynchronous signals...
    Is it possible to get 2 signals at the same time with LabVIEW 7.0(not 7.1 or higher) by any means?
    What in the earth is the "Config Server" in this case?
    I don't need to sticking to IVI and any method to achieve my goal will be welcome.
    Could anyone give me the hint for this problem, plz?

    I think your problem is that the instrument specific driver is version 7.1 and you are using the class driver with 7.0. You can create your own 7.0 driver by downloading the LabWindows driver and using the Import CVI Instrument Driver under the Tools>Instrumentation menu.
    Since you don't seem to have a good reason to use IVI, why don't you try the native LabVIEW driver at http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9139659CE034080020E748.... I believe you have all of the functions to setup each channel and then when you trigger the scope, both channels will be captured. You would then transfer each waveform separately. The data is always read sequentially but that's not important as long as both channels are triggered at the same time.

  • Can i use a 85 watt charger for my macbook pro that came with an 60 watt charger?

    My charger broke a few weeks ago and i ordered another one on amazon and that broke within a week so i'm going to just buy another one from the apple store. But i dont want to wait to order one because i currently cant use my laptop since it died (i dont live near an apple store), but theres a store that sells apple products. they only have 85 watt for the laptops though. so would i be able to use that without ANY issues? I would rather order from the apple store than to buy something that can cause problems, so i just want to know if my macbook will be safe if i use an 85 watt instead of the 60 watt, which is what originally came with my laptop. Thank you.

    An 85 watt charger will be fine. Generally, you can use a higher-powered charger than the one that came with your MBP - but using a lower-powered charger is not recommended.

  • Using time capsule as a wireless storage drive on MacBook Pro with Tiger

    I'm getting a time capsule 1Tb for xmas, do I just plug it into one of the ethernet ports on my wireless router/modem? What I plan to do is take all my data (itunes files, invoices, pictures etc) off my MacBook Pro (which only has a 150 Gb hard drive) and use the time capsule as wireless data storage. I will obviously need to back up the original data on the TC to another storage drive. Can I use the usb port on the TC to connect another external hard drive to back up to, or do I need a external hard drive with an ethernet port? And do some hard drive manufacturers ship their drives with software which automatically backs up data from other external drives even when the computer isn't turned on? Thanks for any answers.

    No idea on TC at all.
    And do some hard drive manufacturers ship their drives with software which automatically backs up data from other external drives even when the computer isn't turned on?
    Yes & no, the Computer has to be on, but these drives come with several Backup tools...

  • Issues when using a Pixelink camera with LabView 9.0

    In my lab, we have a program for video acquisition using LabView and the low level camera functions for Pixelink cameras.  We run into some problems trying to run this program and other demo gui programs that came with the Pixelink SDK.  In our data acquisition program, we have problems with our image coming out all scrambled.  We use the low level functions to obtain a frame from the camera in the from of a vector.  We then reshape the vector into an array and then send the array to a vi that turns it into an image.  When we try to view this image using the standard Labview image viewer, the image comes out all scrambled if the zoom factor is not set to .5 on the image viewer.  The full resolution of the image is supposed to be a 1024x1280 image which when we use the Capture OEM software for the camera provided by Pixelink we can see.  The image that we can see through LabView when we have the correct zoom factor seems to be only the top left quarter of what the entire image is supposed to be.  We also encounter strange problems when we attempt to use the demo programs for labview 8.6 that are provided with the SDK.  When trying to run the simpleGUI.vi, for example, the program connects to the camera just fine.  After you hit play to view an image, the problems start.  The program will play the video for a few seconds until it just freezes up and quits responding.  Labview must be exited and restarted in order for the camera to connect again.  I am not sure if it makes a difference that we are running labview 9.0 on our computers or not.  Any help you have on these issues would be of great help.  Attached are pictures of the scrambled/unscrambled image and of the part of our block diagram for camera control.

    IMAQdx is the driver that National Instruments provides to interface Firewire, GigE and USB cameras (Directshow compliant USB).  This is a licensed driver, so if you don't currently have it, then testing in MAX is not an option. 
    So if I understand correctly, you have the Pixelink software which works fine, but you have Pixelink VI's that are used in LabVIEW, but those do not work correctly?  That to me seems like a driver issue, which I'm not sure how much I can help with since it is not our driver. 
    Do you know what dll's the Pixel link VIs are calling into?  Are they Pixelink dlls?  If so, I would suggest speaking with the manufacturer or perhaps on of our other users has worked with Pixelink before.

  • Use Kappa Camera with LabVIEW

    Hi everybody, has anyone controled a digital camera (Kappa DX 2N) with LabVIEW?
    There is a development kit avaylable with control functions written in C. I know it is possible to convert c-Funcions in LabVIEW VIs. But there are so many functions to be converted. If anyone has experiences with that kind of camera (probably converted the functions) and knows which functions are needed for single specifications I would be very happy.
    Best regards jotthape

    Jotthape,
    unfortunately there is no information about this camera in our various support resources so NI can't be of much help here. Just one suggestion: Post this question to the Machine Vision forum instead of the LabVIEW forum. This forum is monitored by some very good machine vision experts so your chances to get an answer will increase.
    You should also provide more information about the camera (link to a datasheet, PC interface type,...).

  • Is it possible to use an external hard drive wirelessly w Leopard?

    Upgrading to Leopard seems to have ruined my wireless home network, which worked very smoothly with Tiger. After a couple of tries, I was unable to connect wirelessly to my external hard drive (connected directly to Airport). I was then unable to even access the data directly. I am right now using Data Rescue II to see how much of the data on the hard drive can be retrieved.
    I tried an old external HD with airport to see if that would work, and it failed also.
    Is it even possible to set up a wireless network with Leopard that will let me move data to an external HD??
    Any help is appreciated.
    Message was edited by: Joe Mondo

    I may have phrased my question poorly.
    Pre-Leopard, my external HD was connected directly to Airport. I used it wirelessly.
    When I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Leopard, it was almost impossible to access the HD wirelessly, and then outright impossible.
    I tried the same setup with another external HD and that didn't work either. When I try to access the HD wirelessly, I get nowhere.

  • Is it possible to use Apple Configurator to pre-load a class set of iPads with books?

    I have class set of iPads that I want to pre-load with books from the iBooks Store (all public domain/Project Gutenberg, so they're free). I've managed to get them on one device, but it was 60+ and I had to download each indiviually. In Apple Configurator, when I backed-up that iPad and tried to load it on the others, the books did not show up on the other devices.
    Short of downloading all the books on each iPad, is there an easier way to do this?

    unfortunately I don't see a way to do it with configurator. You may be able to use iTunes in the cloud for it though. On each iPad, make sure they are connected to the network, then go to Settings.app -> Store. Make sure the Apple ID associated with the books is logged in, and then turn the automatic downloads for books on. You may then have to download the books on again on one of the devices, but they should appear on all the devices.
