Builder and IMAQ 1408

Can anyone tell me how, using Borland Builder 3, I can acquire images from
the IMAQ 1408 card?
Melvyn.

I wrote the attached code to try to help you with your question. It is a very simple code and there is no error checking. Use at your own risk!
I have Builder 5 and an IMAQ 1411 card, but I think there is not much difference.
I took advantage of the IMAQ function imgPlot(), which greatly facilitates the display of the acquired image.
If you need to perform some processing to the image, a suggestion can be to save the image first with the function imgSessionSaveBufferEx() and then processing the saved image.
Please read the file "information.txt" before to set the Builder environment.

Labview 7.0 is compatable with Labview Imaq6.1 , vision builder 6.0 and Imaq run time engine 6.0.

Sir,
My system is PXI 8174 and i an using NI 1411 card for my application. I want to know the compatability of the softwares. Whether Labview 7 is compatable with Labview Imaq 6.1 , vision builder 6.0 and Imaq run time engine 6.0.

Hi,
Assuming you meant IMAQ Vision 6.1 instead of IMAC 6.1, this software was intended to run on LabVIEW 5.1, 6.0, and 6.1. I have heard of it being used with LabVIEW 7 on occasion, so it may be possible to make it work, but this has not been tested and is not officially supported. Vision Builder 6.0 should run; however, it was developed long before LabVIEW 7.x and will not generated code for LabVIEW 7.0 and later. The Vision RTE version should correspond to the version of Vision you are using. For instance, if the program was developed with Vision 6.1, the computer should have the Vision 6.1 RTE installed. With this being said, if you plan to use LabVIEW 7, I recommend updating your other software.

Problem with Vision Builder and LabView: Error -1074395995, File not found

I have created an inspection with Vision Builder AI 2009 SP1. In it I load some pictures from the HDD and run some checks over it. It works fine. Then I have migrated it to LabView 2010, I get a message that the migration is successfull, but when I run the VI on LabView I get a fail status. I have been checking my program and I have found and error when I try to load the picture from file: Error -1074395995 occurred at IMAQ ReadImageAndVisionInfo
Possible reason(s): IMAQ Vision: File not found.
But I am not sure which file it refers to. At first I thought it was the picture I wanted to load, but I have checked the path and it is correct, so maybe it refers to another thing. What puzzles me most is that it works perfectly on Vision Builder and I have changed nothing in LabView, maybe it is a problem with the migration. Any clues?

Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about. Put a break point here and see what the path is and compare that with what Vision Builder AI is using (described where to find this in the previous post). You could find where this global is used to make debugging easier.
Hope this helps,
Brad

Image size after calibration and IMAQ Learn Calibration Template VI in Vision 2012

Hi there
I'm trying to setup a calibration for our fluoroscope camera. I got some pictures of a grid and try to implement a distortion model now.
It works more or less fine. But there are still some problems and questions
1. All my Images are 1000x1000 pixel. After correcting them with the calibration they change their size depending on the Method(937x928 at the moment).
Thereby I lose some information, because some details at the border are cut off. Additionally I would have to increase the size of every image manually for the further processes. Does anyone know how i can implement that the corrected images are still 1000x1000 in size?
2. At the moment I'm using the "IMAQ Learn Calibration Template VI" which I found in an older example. In vision 2012 this vi doesn't exist anymore? Why is this, and how could I implement it now, with using current vi's?
Tried it with the "IMAQ Learn Camera Model" combined with the "IMAQ Calibration Target to Points - Circular Dots", a tresholding a
nd "IMAQ Correction Learn Setup". But the result is much worse this way.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Stefan

Thank you for your answer.
I tried it with changing the border size(tried different values), but the results are still the same (still 937x928). Do I have to set the image size anywhere?
What would be the best way to resize the image? Should I just copy it on a black 1000x1000 square?
And do you have any suggestions how I can build the "IMAQ Learn Calibration Template" with 2012 vi's? I tried it with the code of my first post, but the results are totally different to this: Why this block doesn't exist anymore? Seems to be much easier for me

IMAQ 1408 + DAQ cards crashing when loop iteration 1

I have a problem trying to run some code which outputs a synchronised analog and digital pattern using the PCI-DIO-32HS and PCI-6713 DAQ cards which triggers an external analog camera. The images from the camera are then read via the IMAQ 1408 frame grabbing card.
When I run the code once, it executes successfully every time. If, however, I select 'run continuously', or alternatively place a FOR-loop around the pattern output and image collection, the computer executes the pattern once, then completely freezes the computer, requiring a hard reboot of the computer.
I have attempted to add wait times at various points through the code, however even if I place 10s delays in the loop (the pattern takes around 1s) the computer hangs and crashes. Running the code by repeatedly clicking 'run' however works every time, with no error or crashes.
Is there any way to extract or trace the error causing this behaviour - the issue must be with the IMAQ drivers, however I cannot see what is different between running the VI manually 10 times in a row, and running it continuously with a wait to prevent it running at full speed. Any advice for debugging this error would be much appreciated. I have attached the code with subVIs necessary to reproduce the error.

Hi Fan Wu,
You're right that you only have two counters on your USB DAQ device. If we limit the problem to only one channel, then I would recommend using the counter because it sounds like you're creating a pulse train of known parameters. Since the counters use a fast timebase (if you're using Mseries you're using an 80MHz clock), you'll get very predictable performance at 1ms of interest.
The other way to do this (since you'll need more channels) is to use a counter to setup a timing engine. A simple pulse train with 50% duty cycle and whatever frequency you're interested in (sounds like 1kHz) can be used as your DI/O timing clock. You can then create a digital waveform with the characteristics you are interested in and write that to your buffer. With your Digital task correlated to your counter output, you can output this waveform at the rate of your counter output.
While this is NOT the end application you are looking to write, this example has some great parallels to what you are trying to do. It illustrates creating a clock with the counter and then writing a digital waveform to correlate to that clock.

Problems acquiring images with IMAQ-1408

I have a IMAQ-1408 acquisition card that I recently transplanted from an old computer to a new P4. Initially, it did record a few images (both in one of my programs and using the test panels in the Measurement and Automation Explorer. Now it doesn't acquire. I have tried several things like switching PCI slots, adjusting some of the settings like the sync voltage levels and such, but I'm not getting any images. All 6 diagnositc tests past (from 'FPGA register' to 'Basic interrupt'). Also, the card is still detecting something - when I connect to a video source, I get the error ... when I have it disconnected from the video, it gives an IMG-ERR-VLCK. So it must be detecting some of the V-synch pulses. Anyway, at what poi
nt do I decide that my card is non-functional? Are there any more setting adjustments I should try. (BTW, I'm using an NTSC source).
thanks

This issue is sounding more like a hardware problem if the diagnostics fail repeatedly. Before considering repair or purchasing a new board, I still recommend testing the card in another machine just to be thorough.
The board most likely can be repaired (I'm not sure about the cost, since it is most likely out of warranty). Otherwise, the PCI-1409 board is similar to the 1408, but has several advantages. Please see this KnowledgeBase for more information on the differences. If you are interested in the repair/replacement options, please generate a service request to speak directly with an engineer. You can generate a request online at "http://www.ni.com/ask">www.ni.com/ask. This will allow us to set up an RMA if need be.

Triggering an IMAQ-1408

Hi. I want to use my IMAQ-1408 with a Sony XC-55 progressive camera for an asynchronous acquisition. I must use a function generator as trigger input, in order to acquire one shot at an exact time. Please, help me.

There is an excellent document in Developer Zone to help set up the Sony XC-55 for asynchronous reset operations and also advice on writing a basic LabVIEW application.
The following link takes you to this page:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/2d17d611efb58b22862567a9006ffe76/b8dc31dedf4afaf086256a930078dd78?OpenDocument
In this example, the image acquisition board is used to generate a trigger signal and then reset the camera. In your application this trigger pulse would be provided by your function generator. This will simplify the software that you need to write, but care will need to be taken over the cabling.
This document also specifically discusses how to cable the camera to the PCI/PXI-1409 image acquisition board but the principles remai
n the same when using the PCI/PXI-1408. Be aware that the external cabling on a PCI-1408 differs from that on the PCI-1409 - these use different edge connectors.

HD edited footage in FCP 5.1 to DVDSP 4 to "build and format" to where now?

97 minute movie shot with Sony's HDV-FX1, edited in FCP 5.1, exported to QuickTime movie, full quality, current settings. Imported into DVDSP 4.1, parsed, no problem, authored with HD settings, and built project. DSP produced a proper HDDVD_TS folder. With Apple DVD Player 4.6.5 on my duel 1.8 G5, this plays just fine.
With Toast 8 and a NU Technology Blu-ray burner (Matshita BD-MLT SW 5528), DVD-ROM (UDF), new disc, named and imported the HD file. Clicked record, selected 1x DB write speed to be on the safe side, used both a Panasonic BD-RW and a TDK BD-RW single layer disc and burned successfully. Neither disc now, to my ultimate frustration, will play in our Samsung Blu-ray DVD player or play with Apple's DVD Player. Both report a message about not supporting the media type, although the disc does mount on my G5 via the Blu-ray drive.
Thoughts on where to go from here? Our movie plays fine downconverted to 480i, but we would love to see it play in High def at 1080i.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

David,
That is the answer to why I am unable to use the "build and format" option in DSP? Seems crazy that the option is there, but the function isn't.
Did the Toast product manager give any hint as to when this option may be available? I knew were we sailing into unchartered waters, but we had hoped that by the time we were done with post that the path had already been navigated
Thanks,

Diff: Version on workflow builder and Maintain Active Plan version on SWU3

Group,
Can any one help me to understand the Version on workflow builder and Maintain Active Plan version on SWU3
Thanks in advance !
Richard A

Dear Richard Antony,
The Versioning in the Workflow is very important its some what simmilar to the version on any SAP Objets like Tables, Program etc.
Here Suppose any change comes in working workflow, then in stead of directly change them you can create a version of them and them modify it. So that you can reverst back to that version if required.
Like wise there is lots of importance of versioning Workflow.
The Active Plan version is also important to establish at SWU3. As all the Workflow is using Organization management which is very depended on the Active Plan version. so based on which Plan version you want to use you can Provide in SWU3 to tell Workflow system to use this.
Hope this will give you a clear picture.

Advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer

Hi,
anyone can explain advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer?
thanks in advance!

The best way i found was to put a equals and then double quotes... this only works for excel however it will allow you to cut and paste (ie to use the value to search in Oracle) and also to do vlookups.
In a bit more detail:
- I used word to generate my default table
- this created a field INVOICE_NUM
- in the cell in the table i put = " before the INVOICE_NUM field and then put the closing " afterwards.
The theory is that excel will concatenate the values together... because it has quotes around it, it will treat it as a string rather than simply a value.
For any other formats this will not work.
I'm guessing most people have moved on and resolved this some other way, but just thought I'd share the wealth!

Why is printing report different from report builder and app server

I created a report and when ran from report builder it looks fine.
And when i moved the report to server and ran the report in the browser using this url
http://192.1.1.8:7778/reports/rwservlet?userid=esp/esp_dev1@wdev&report=FMMA_VOUCHER.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf
and print it the report shrinks, the fonts become small and the margins change. I am having hard time how to figure out a way to correlate the formatting in the report builder and when i run on the server using pdf format.
Is there any way to set the server so that the pdf output matches with the report builder.
Thanks.
Sree

Help with Oracle Report Builder and SQL Server2000

Hey guys,
I just installed it Oracle Developer Suite10g with Report Builder and I am trying to use Report builder and wants to connect with SQL Server 2000. The problem that I am running in to is SQL Server 2000 i have is Window Authentication so Does not required to enter user name and password. So how can i connect my report builder to SQL server or is it possible to connect Report builder to SQL server?
Also, I want to create small practice version of database in Oracle how do i do it? what i mean by that is I installed trial version or Oracle developer 10g from www.oracle.com and now trying to get some knowledge with oracle. Could any one can give me some direction in this matter please.
Thank You

Have a look at the reports help for the purpose header and trailer sections. Here is an exert:
"Report sectioning enables you to define multiple layouts in the same report, each with a different target audience, output format, page layout, page size, or orientation. You can define up to three report sections, each with a body area and a margin area: the names of the sections are Header, Main, and Trailer. By default, a report is defined in the Main section. In the other sections, you can define different layouts, rather than creating multiple separate reports. If you wish, you can use the margin and body of the Header and Trailer sections to create a Header and Trailer page for your reports."

CF Report Builder and Excel format

Hi Everyone,
I was trying to display a report in excel format in report builder. It shows the data, but I do not find the print button options, whereas I can see it with other formats. Is this the way it is, or do I need to format anything more within my report for showing up the print button option?This is only happening for excel format
Thanks

Hi Keiko,
Yes, CF Report builder is new and initially there was few
issues with this. But I guess now it's good after hotfixes.
Well, I am using CF Report Builder. It's good for me. You can
also design and develop complex reports, that depends upon the
query you are writing. You can also add subreports to your main
reports.
Mainly CF Report is platform independent and you can also
generate reports in PDF, EXCEL and FlashPaper.
Crystal Report is no doubt is very good, and it's there for
long years. I agree you can create complex reports with this, but
you also can do the same in CF also. You are using this for last 10
years, so I guess you should try something new and that is CF
Report Builder and you can judge then.
I am sure you will have fun with CF.
Thanks

Hanging Report Builder and Runtime-6i

Hi
The Reports 6i Builder and Runtime screens are taking 15-20 minutes to open in Win NT Environment.Earlier they used to work just fine.In this 'vaccum' time the task list shows Program not responding but eventually after 10-15 minutes ,the window opens fully.Please note that connectivity is ok and this time i am not running any report ..just starting the Report Builder or Report Runtime 6i. Same problem is occuring with Reports Queue Manager as well ,running as a service on this pc.
Any sort of advice welcomed.
Thanks.

This seems to be a problem of Windows NT environment in which the reports are running and not problem with Oracle Reports as such. I suspect some DLL has got corrupted and you have to rebuild the pc again..try re-installing Windows again .
Cheers
