PCI-1422 Windows7 32bit Problems

I have a legacy program that I am trying to port from WindowsXP to 32bit version of Windows7.  This program is based on the PCI-1422 frame grabber.
For historical purposes, I have to use NI-IMAQ version 2.5.3, which installs version 2.0.3.17 of NI-MAX
From a clean build of Win7 x32, I can install NI software, and the old application which creates correct camera definition files.
When I add the frame grabber card, Windows device manager is happy... the card is correctly identified and seems to use driver files which match the old WinXP install.
When I look at the card with NI-MAX, the camera correctly appears in the configuration list.  If I highlight Channel 0 device and run 'Diagnostic' all tests seem to pass correctly.  (Again the displayed output matches the results from the same operation on the old WinXP box)
However if I try to 'Snap' or  'Grab' a frame, I get the following error box:  Title = 'Acquisition Error'   and there is NO TEXT in the error description, only a yellow ! warning icon.
(The legacy program performs all controlling functions via two other PCI cards, but halts when trying to grab a frame as well.  The above behavior can be seen with or without these additional PCI cards)
I have tried both installing and executing the EXE files with or without 'Run as Admin'  and/or 'WinXP SP3 compatibility mode'.  In some cases, the available camera list disappears, but nothing I have done has been succesful at grabbing a frame from the camera.
Any suggestions about compatibility and/or why the error box is missing all text?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Good questions...
I have been asked to 'upgrade' a commercial system that was developed 10 years ago.  The system works currently... an XP based system with old frame grabber.   I was asked if I could upgrade the PC, because of concerns of PC failure with a 10 yr old box.  We found a new motherboard that supports the necesary 3 PCI slots for frame grabber, and newer CPU of course.
The question remains however, can we migrate to Win7, or...   do we try to install WinXP on the new PC hardware, with the older interface cards.  To add to the difficulties, the original company than produced the software is no longer in business.  Fortunately I have remained in contact with some of the developers that are giving me some support, but they haven't supported the product for years either.
The basic issue remains...  hardware and software that worked on XP, has been migrated. The devices appear in some sense to be detected correctly.  But the critical important issue, grabbing a frame from the camear, fails.  What can be done?

  • Raytheon 2000b camera with PCI-1422

    I am trying to use a Raytheon 2000b camera with PCI-1422. I have downloaded the attached doc and icd file from NI.
    1. As far as I now there is no proper NI cable for my camera, but the pinout is described in the doc file. I would like to purchase a cable, and solder a connector on it for my camera. Which cable should I choose, if I need the following pins on the PCI-1422 side: 1-32, 41-46, 49-50, 93-94, 99-100?
    2. The icd file supports image acquisition only, attribute settings via serial line are not contained. I would like to add this feature, but I could not find any description about the icd files. Where can I find a document that would help me?

    My problem is solved now.
    But I don't know what is the exact solution.
    The camera & cable provider and me tried as below.
    try-1. connecting tm-1320-15 and 1422 with serial-enabled cable
    try-2. changing 'OnBoardClock(20)' to 'OnBoardClock(25)'
    With only 'try-1 ', it failed. but additional 'try-2' we could snap and grab the camera image.
    And now, I can get images without serial-enabled cable, regardless of OnBoardClock speed.
    I think the camera has been initialized with max's parameters(same as icd file) when the serial commnunication had enabled for the first time.
    (I'll verify this assumption with new tm-1320-15 later.)
    Thank you.
    Tip : If tm-1320-15 and 1422 makes error because of parameter mismatching, reset the tm-1320-15's power.

  • PCI 1422. Grab an image with 1 pixel height.

    Hello.
    I'm trying to configure my PCI-1422 board to accquire an image from my custom made line scan camera.
    My camera sends a frame of 1 pixel height (24000px width) to the board. Every 1.9msec (so i should get approx. 526 fps).
    The framegrabber recieves 3 signals: data, pixel clock (12.5MHz) and frame valid signal (i connected it to Enable A pin of PCI-1422).
    The issue is that MAX says to me, that the total fps is 263.
    When I try to get image data in my application (c++) i may recieve even less - only 1/4 of total frames.
    Could you tell me how to configure *.icd file to be able to get 526 (24000x1px, 8bit) fps with my camera?
    Is there any problem with my c++ code?
    You may see my application and *icd file attached.

    Alvern,
    How many clock counts rae you waiting between frames?  Have you tried decrasing the ROI further?  You got it set 8 pixels shorter than the actual ccd, have you tried setting it 100 pixels shorter?  What about 1000?  I imagine you're interested in preserving as many pixels as possible, but try testing acquisition with shorter ROI's just to see if a sufficiently short ROI will allow you to acquire at the full frame rate.  
    If adjusting the ROI in addition to enabling fast rearm and Non Continuous Line Enable does not allow you to acquire at the desired frame rate are you able to decrease the frame rate?  If so, what frame rates have you been able to acquire at without losing frames?
    Also, though you are interested in continuous acquisition, have you tried snaping a finite sequence of images?  Try snapping a finite number of images and storing them on the frame grabber to see if you are able to acquire at the full frame rate.
    I suspect altering either the ROI, the frame rate, or the acqusition mode and buffering location will allow you to acquire without missing frames.  Would you be able to test these and post your results?

  • Controlling PCI-1422 with Labview instead of MAX

    Hello Experts,
    I want your help in one of my problem. I have a camera from Sensors Unlimited which is SU-640 1.7 RT-D and a NI parallel card PCI-1422. I can use and acquire data with MAX from the camera but I want to operate,use and acquire images from the camera using LabView. Is there any way of exporting or using the camera with Labview instead of writing a fresh code in LabView? 
    Does LabView offer any support or reads automatically from PCI-1422 or any possible solution that I get the block diagram code for using this camera in LabView.
    Please let me know, reply.
    Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks but again it requires writing and struggling with coding and experience on  LabView skills.
    Just wondering something easy. I tried one of the example and it worked actually but I am trying to get more ideas or options to make it look better and impressive.
    You want something and easy and doesn't require any effort on your end?    Hire someone who knows how to program in LabVIEW.

  • Section of the data collected with PCI 1422 card connected to a CCD camera looks step-like

    I am using the PCI 1422 card with a DALSA CA-D1-0128T camera to acquire and save fluorescence data from a heart stained with a potentiometric dye. The camera is set to work at 490 frames per second. My acquisition program (made using a producer consumer loop in Labview 2009) works fine most of the times, but sometimes a small section of the collected data looks step-like (not continuous). I have attached herewith a word document containing a snap of the data. Could you please give me some suggestions as to why this happens and how can I rectify it? 
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Anuj,
    First, this sounds like a very cool application.  What are you measuring? Is it in vivo?
    I believe that I see what you are referring to--is it where your cursor is that you are seeing the "step" problem?  Also, could you give us a little more information aboutwhat type of data we are looking at?  Is this some sort of image analysis data?  
    In terms of code structure, due to the way that LabVIEW handles image data types (it is essentially a pointer to the data instead of the data itself), I wouldn't recommend passing an image via a queue.  
    So, please let me know a bit more about what type of data we are looking at, and what your code looks like, and I'll be happy to help.

  • Failing to detect NI PCI 1422

    I have been experiencing a unique problem with the NI PCI 1422 board. After the first install, everything runs fine. However, after some period of operation, errors appear. Then if the board is ever physically removed from the PC, it will never be detected again.
    I am running Windows 2000 Pro, on a AMD XP2100+ with 512Mb PC2700 DDR, and have tried several different motherboards. When you replace the motherboard, the card will be detected but only the first time the system is booted up. From then on it is non-existent. I have tried reinstalling everything, flashing the bios, reinstalling from a drive image where it works etc.
    I have built an identical system that works fine. I am fairly sure the framegrabber is not faulty, as I have tr
    ied replacing that also (to no avail).
    Anyone got any suggestions?

    What do you mean not detected? Is it not detected in the Windows Device Manager or in MAX? If it is not detected in Device Manager then you should check that computer BIOS and make sure PnP is enabled and PCI Bus Mastering as well. If it is not detected in MAX try hitting F5 (refresh).
    What version of the driver do you have? I suggest you have the latest one, 2.5.5.
    If Device Manager does recognizes the board you may want to uninstall it from there and then click the refresh button inside Device Manager as well. And see if that recognizes the hardware.

  • How can I access the control lines of a PCI-1422 from within C++?

    I would like to know how the control lines of a PCI-1422 can be accessed (set) programmatically from within C++ (MS VC++7, Windows XP). A flat panel sensor connected to the PCI-1422 needs the control lines to switch on features like binning which I want to use.
    Unfortunately I was unable to identify an appropriate command in the IMAQ documentation. Does anyone have experiences with this?
    Thank you very much in advance!

    Kluas,
    The control lines are not exposed through any API. The control lines are run by the driver based on the instructions in the camera files. If the cammera file supports the binning functionality of your camera then you should be able to set the attributes such that the board runs the control lines approriately.
    Hope this helps,

  • PCI 1422 how to aquire 12 RGB

    Hello,
    I an using a PCI 1422 with a non standard camera signal (12 bit RGB).
    At the monemt i am able to capture the signal
    in 12 bit black and white.
    What must be done that i can capture the signal in RGB
    (4 bit each color)
    If i use 24 bit color depth the the signal will be dislayed in color, but all blue colors are missing.
    How are the colors (24 bit) stored in the memory if i use a PCI 1422 wich has only 16 data bus?
    What does the binaray threashold value in the camera file mean?
    Juergen Dodek
    Electronic Developer
    mtu-friedshafen, Germany

    I can see a couple of possible solutions.
    One would be creating a custom cable that separates the 4 bits for each color into separate bytes, with 4 blank bits for each color. This could be input as 24 bit color perhaps. You might need to be using the PCI-1424, though, to get a full 24 bits input.
    A second option might be to do the same thing in software. I am not sure if the ICD file has the flexibility to rearrange the bits like this.

  • Which digital camera is suitable for the pci-1422

    when i purchase a digital cam for PCI-1422 , what should i focus on, for example: Resolution, interface, depth of color or etc??
    How to classify the a digital cam and how to identify which is suitable for PCI-1422??
    Does anybody have recommandation for me!!??
    thanx!!!

    There are a lot of digital cameras that work well with the PCI-1422.
    Selecting the proper camera depends more on your application than the PCI-1422. You need to look at resolution and frame rate, along with bit depth, color or B&W, etc.
    You will also need to select a lens that matches your application. You might just need a fixed focal length, or you might need a zoom, a telecentric lens, or other possibilities.
    I would recommend discussing your application with Robert Eastlund of Graftek Imaging (800) 441-2118. He will be able to help you select the proper camera and lens for your application.

  • Drop outs, and stuttering Sound Blaster Recon3D PCie Window 8 32bit.

    There are other much older threads on this subject but none I could find with the above combination.
    My PC environment:
    N2M4 SLI ASUS motherboard
    AMD X64 5400
    4 gig's DDR2 RAM
    Windows 8 Pro 32bit (not a clean install but an upgrade from XP-Pro SP-3)
    SB Recon3D PCie sound card
    Nividia GeForce 9800 graphic card.
    The on board audio chipset is disabled, it's drivers deleted.
    All drivers and Bios packages are up to date.
    I am not a gamer and this SC is only used with music and video playback.
    I have a frequent hang, and stutter (H&S) problem which started with the installation of the new Sound Blaster card. I had and ancient Audigy 2 from which I only used it's coaxial digital output this card did not have the H&S but the 3.5mm jack failed so a replacement was needed. The H&S problem started with the new card. It does it with both the analog and optical digital output. It is apparently the SC that is doing this. I have two other outputs I use for music playback, USB and DLNA the H&S problem is not exhibited with these two play back methods.
    I have watched the system monitors to see if I can spot what is going on. CPU usage runs 50% or less usually a lot less, and the RAM is also not taxed. What I do see is a split second spike in CPU usage to somewhere around 70% when the stutter hits. This is not reflected in the usage graphic for the RAM. I have adjusted the digital, and analog buffers, I have also changed the file bit depth, etc, to try and mitigate the problem at in both cases it does not fix the problem.
    This SB Recon3D PCie is the 6th Sound Blaster card I have purchased over the last decade plus and the first one I have had any trouble with, If there is a solution I would like to hear of it, and hopefully this will be addressed in a driver update very soon, if not, well, there is always the ASUS Zonar Essence.

    I have fixed the dropout and stuttering problem. It was not Creative fault but instead it was caused by the malicious site blocker package that was loaded by Malwarebytes in February. I loaded DPC Latency Checker and watched it's real time graph and the latency was through the roof, something was eating my computer alive and it was not my SB Recon3D PCie card that was doing it Turning off Malwarebytes fixed the problem. Before I dumped the MWBS I checked in at it support forum and they where getting flamed over the malicious site blocker and locking up XP machines so I turned it off on my Windows 8 machine and instantly fixed the problem now my new Creative Sound card sounds great like all of the other SB card I have had over the years. Anyone having this problem load DPC Latency Checker, it is freeware, and see if you have a latency issue that is causing your problem.

  • Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI-Express) + Vista 32bit an media pla

    Hi folks,Maybe someone here can help me with this issue, I recently bought a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7. Sound Card - OEM (PCI-Express), it arri'ved with the cd with software and drivers on it and i installed it into my vista 32bit without any problems.On rebooting my sound was working normally and as far as i could tell all was great untill that is i went to play some mp3 using windows media player, wmp kept telling me it couldnt play the file type then i tried to play a wma file an got the same thing, basically almost all audio types will no longer play in wmp. I rolled back the driver to use the microsoft driver (high defination audio device) and everything is playing in media player again.Only now i cant use the software suppiled with the card. Anyone have any idea how to use the creative driver and get wmp to play properly thanks in advance.
    (in addition) after some messing around with various settings i discovered that this seems to be caused by the sb enhancements, when i disable them in speaker properties wmp plays as it should, althought i am rather disappointed that i have to disable the features on the card inorder to get it to work properly.

    Hi Orion,
    You might want to get in touch with support to enquire about the CD.
