Camera File Generator Won't Run with MAX + PCIe-1433

Hi,
I am a camera developer and am trying to integrate a couple of new cameralink cameras with the PCIe-1433 NI frame grabber. I have installed NI MAX 14.0 and version 3.0.0 of the Camera File Generator.
I am trying to build a new Camera File for our companies cameras.
The NI MAX shows the NI PCIe-1433 device when it launches.
When I try to launch the Camera File Generator, it failis to load with the following message:
"You must have NI-IMAQ 4.6.0 or higher installed before running the NI Camera File Generator. NI-IMAQ 4.6.0 is installed with Vision Acquisition Software 2011."
The MAX configuration tree shows I have version 14.0 of the NI-IMAQ software available.
Is there any sort of developer's guide for creating a camera file to allow me to use my camera? I need to write some serial commands to the unit and thought tha tthe Camera File Generator would support this....
Thanks.
-Mike

Hi mawillia,
The latest version of the IMAQ drivers is version 4.9, and it would show up where you said, under the Software tab in NI MAX. Do you have this latest version installed? If you like, feel free to expand out your software tab and take a picture of it and post it here.
Also, you are correct that the serial commands can be set in the camera file. Here is a link to our support page for the Camera File Generator: http://sine.ni.com/psp/app/doc/p/id/psp-723/lang/en
Within it is a whole host of various KnowledgeBase articles. This one seems particularly helpful:
What framegrabber specifications do I need to know to create my camera file?: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9B89C9FA43A6973A86257A62004658D5
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any articles specific to coding the serial commands for your camera in the camera file. But I recommend opening up one of the bundled camera files (I'm looking at the Basler acA2000-340kc (Base).icd ) and within that, click the Camera Control tab. The serial commands for each attribute will show up on the right side, and you can use this as an example for creating yours.
Let me know if you have any further questions!

Question about camera file generator

Dear all,
I was trying to set up my camera with the frame grabber using camera file generator. My camera is a linescan camera, which is 1024x1 pixels.
My question is, in the camera file generator, I can choose to display maximum number of rows which could be any number I key in, for example, I can choose to display 1024x256 or 1024x800.So since my camera has only one line of pixels, where are all the other rows come from?How does it work?
Thanks a lot!

Hi
When you create your icd file, the height value, will be the maximum number of lines you can accumulate.
So when you will use your camera with MAX or LabVIEW, you can specify an image height within 1 and this value.
I suggest to set this value pretty high (10000 lines for instance) so that you are free to request a big image in your application.
Regards

Camera file generator timeout

Time out came up on Camera File Generator
Hi
Recently I use Camera File Generator Version 2.1.1 to control a CamraLink camera through IMAQ PCI-1428. When I grab the image "Acquisition Timeout" message came up. I changed smaller image format, but it was still same. I succeed communication with this camera through another serial communication software. It seems camera works, but an image does not come up.
And one more thing, I just want to use a camera with default setting. I expect I do not need to send any serial command. Should I do some action ?
Thanks lots,
Kevin

Hi Burrito,
Sorry for late respond, Now I got an image after changed the camera setting and setting on IMAX. I can see an image on both of software. It seems camera was not recognized on IMAX. This was main reason. Thank you for your help.
Best,
Kevin

The latest Firefox won't run with Mac OS 10.4.11. How can I get the previous version of Firefox?

I have Firefox 12.0. It won't run with Mac OS 10.4.11. I do not want to have to buy a new computer right now. I would like to go back to a previous version of Firefox that will run with my operating system. How can I download an older version of Firefox?

You can find the latest Firefox 3.6.x release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:

PCIe-1433 not showing 16bit x 2 taps as option in camera file generator

Trouble getting 16bit by 2 taps camera to display 16 bits. Instead, I get interleved columns of 16bits and 8bits, as if it is only doing 24bit. Camera file generator seems to configure it all correctly, oddly, it uses tap 1 and tap 3 instead of tap 1 and tap 2.
I noticed PCIE-1433 documentation doesn't list 2 taps by 16bit as an option,
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/374001b.pdf
yet NI public information
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9B89C9FA43A6973A86257A62004658D5
states it can support 2 taps by 16 bit. Chances I need to update IMAQ drivers?

Hi dre99gsx,
This seems like it could be caused by using the wrong camera file. I noticed you said that it's a two tap camera and it's using a different tap configuration than what is intended. Have you tried creating the camera file manually using our Camera File Generator (http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/14207)?

MOVED: Won't run with 2 CPUs

This topic has been moved to Server/workstation.
Won't run with 2 CPUs

Okay. Power supply info. Had to break my system down because the side that had the info on it was covered by the top of the tower.
Enhance Electronics
Model: ATX-1140F with Outlet
400 Watt Power Supply
+3.3v(28A), +5V(38A), +12V(18A), -12V(.8A), -5V(.5A), +5VSB(2A)
The 4 pin connector is plugged in. =) I did not overlook that.
As for trying it with fewer memory sticks, no I have not tried that but keep in mind that earlier today the previous mobo was in this machine and running with both CPUs and all 3 memory sticks (512, 512, 1024). All in the same memory slots as the original mobo. I pulled each one and inserted it in the new mobo before taking out the next one to be sure I put them back in the same slot.
I checked and double checked all the bios settings and they match. The only thing that has changed since this morning is the replacement mobo and that is the exact same model as the one I replaced. System works fine with 1 CPU but not with 2. What might cause that on this motherboard but not the original one?

WinProducer2 start error, won't run with nVidia Capture drivers

I'm not having a good experience with the bundled WinProducer2 that came with my MX440VT8x-128.
If I have either of the versions of the nVidia capture-drivers that came on the card's CD (that's v. 1.16 or 1.18) installed, or the 1.22 version from nVidia's website (as of 2-20-03), and then try to start WinProducer, I get the same start-error every time:
"WinProducer.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows....need to restart program...an error log is being generated."
If I look at the Dr. Watson log, it says WinProducer 2 generated "Exception Violation c00005."
If I uninstall the nVidia capture-drivers, WinProducer2 opens right up just fine, but, of course, with no capture capability.
I downloaded and tried (after uninstalling v.2) WinProducer3 from InterVideo's website yesterday (2/20/03), with the exact same results! ???
Anybody else having this problem?
This is under Win2k, w/SP2, then added SP3, with no improvement.

After I made the original post, I tried a lot more things that didn't help:
I booted in safe mode and tried it but PSP gave an error message that it wouldn't run with the screen resolution that low (800x600); so it did try to run. So I booted normally and set the screen rez to 800x600 manually, then tried to run PSP and got the same error message.
I did a clean boot with all start-up programs and all services disabled; PSP still wouldn't run.
I disabled my anti-virus and PSP still wouldn't run.
Disabled my video card in the device manager and booted with my on-board video; PSP still wouldn't run.
There's never an error message as long as the screen rez is high enough; when I try to run it, it looks like it's starting to run but nothing ever happens.

Please help, CS3 won't run with 10.5.2! Please!

Installed 10.5.2 on my g5 dual 2.5 w 4.5 gigs ram (NOT) intel. Now my AE projects won't run. One started to and then quit. This is major for me. Involves dozens of projects. Please help.

Yes, my powerbook is also trouble-free.
But it's just too slow to run AE on.
And yes, yes, I did repair permissions. I did everything including a "safe" starup, repair permissions many many times, etc. etc. etc.
I'm beginning to think the problem with AE was with non-ae plugins. But then why did automator and software update cease to work?????

How do I roll-back to the previous version of Firefox? An auto update occurred and now one of the programs used at the office (ACT! v6.0 SwiftMail) won't run with the browser.

The office I work in uses a very old version of ACT!, an accounting package. This package has a component called SwiftPage, an antiquated email system that enables us to email from the ACT DB. SwiftPage runs via the web browser.
Firefox just did an auto update (that I will have to find out how to turn off) and now SwiftPage won't run as it is not compatible.
Can I "roll-back" my version of Firefox or do I have to uninstall and try to re-install an older version?
HELP!

Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

I downloaded the new firefox and now I get an error stating it won't run with my version of Mac OS? What is the fix?

I was prompted to upgrade to Firefox 4 - I have a 3.6 version. When I move it to my application folder and tried to run it, I get the error that it cannot run with my version of Mac OS. I'm not sure how to update my OS version or go back to an older version of Firefox.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Won't run with 2 CPUs

I just replaced my 6501 motherboard with one that MSI sent me. When I install both processors the computer most times hangs at startup screen. Lights 2 and 3 are red which indicates it stops at the Bios sign-on.
It hangs where it says AMD MP 2800 Processor but before memory test and it does not display the , (2 cpu's) to the far right of the processor (80% of the time this happens on boot-up). Occasionally when I reboot it will detect both CPUs and will initialize the bios and then start loading windows at which point it immediately reboots.
If I remove the second CPU and reboot the machine boots fine and I can load up windows.
I have swapped both CPUs and put both of them in the Primary CPU slot and they both boot up and run fine no issues. Only when I try to have both in do I have problems. The reason I replaced the MB was because of some dried out capacitors. I got the 1.91 bios update already. Not sure what might be causing this but I want both CPUs working like before. Any help would be appreciated.
This is the first time this board has been used. I pulled it out of the box this morning. It is a refurbished board from MSI. The other board with the dried out capacitors ran both CPUs fine without issue but I had data transfer issues so had to replace it. The newest bios available for this motherboard appears to be award bios v1.91 which is the one I have.
If any further info is needed let me know what else you need. (I am on the computer having troubles right now but with only 1 CPU running - works fine albeit a bit slower)

Vids won't run with Safari, but work with FireFox just fine

I can't get vids to run with Safari. Where the vid is supposed to be, on YouTube etc, it's just blank. They run fine with FireFox, though. I don't mind using FireFox, its a great browser. I just don't like the idea of something being wrong with my MacBook.

Make sure your plug-ins are enabled in Safari (preferences) and that you're not using Rosetta mode (Get Info window).

BC4J Tester won't run with SunJCE provider enabled in JDev 903

I have a working BC4J project that I can access via the Tester and via code in JDev 903. The Module is deployed in 'Local' mode.
I go into <jdev_home>\jdk\jre\lib\security\java.security and add the following line:
security.provider.3=com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE
I can no longer run the BC4J Tester - I get "java.lang.NullPointerException" - that's it - in the log window when I try to run the tester. I can still access the BC4J Module via code, just as before enabling the SunJCE provider, its just the Tester that won't run. My code that uses the SunJCE provider runs fine.
I then comment out the new line in java.security, and the Tester runs fine again. (But, of course, my code that needs the SunJCE provider does not...)
Note that I added this provider as the lowest order provider - the following is how java.security is setup when JDev is installed:
security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun
security.provider.2=com.sun.rsajca.Provider
Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks,
Jim Stoll
(I need this provider for something else I'm doing which uses both the SunJCE provider and BC4J, independent of each other)

Hi,
Can you create a JClient project to test your application module? I have not found why it failed in Tester when using SunJCE privider, but found that if I create a simple JClient using the same application module, it work.
Thanks,
Yvonne

The Missing Sync for Palm OS v6.0.4 won't run with my Palm Tungsten E2

Having problems with Palm iSync on My iBook with 10.4.11 I bought The Missing Sync.
I removed Palm Desktop and installed Missing Sync. However sync won't start when I press the HotSync button.
Is my Palm Tungsten E2, running Palm OS Garnet v. 3.1.1 too old?
If so, can I upgrade it?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

No, there is nothing published - that I am aware of - other than the Missing Sync User Guide that you received [as portable document format file] when you purchased the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
There is some developer documentation available from Apple, but it has little direct bearing on anything like the issue you are seeing. Your crash logs should have provided an indication of what was going on, and - using them - Mark/Space should have been able to identify your issue pretty easily.
It's very difficult to troubleshoot unusual issues remotely. Common problems - which can be easily identified - are readily corrected just by following the instructions posted by some knowledgable person here in the Apple Discussions forums. Given the unique circumstances you report of total failure following the installation of the Missing Sync, it's very likely that the actual culprit in your configuration is NOT the Palm desktop, iSync, .Mac Sync, the Missing Sync for Palm OS or your Treo 600. Something unique about your configuration is likely responsible. Trying to eliminate the variables, though, is not an easy task.
One relatively easy way to troubleshoot such issues is to create a new user, reinstall the Missing Sync and attempt to synchronize using that new user account. If that process is successful, you'll immediately know that something involving your existing user account is responsible for the issue.

Iphoto 9.6 won't run with Yosemite 10.10.1

I'm running a mid 2011 Macbook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.1 and iPhoto 9.6. After upgrading OS to 10.10.1 yesterday, iPhoto won't completely load. The software opens but the "death spiral" icon just keeps spinning, and my photo library won't load. Any suggestions to fix it?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards
TD
