GigE Camera File Error

Hi all,
Just got a new Hitachi KP-F83GV GigE camera. Listed on NI website as supported and current. Running Labview 8.5.1 and IMAQdx 3.0.1 So here's my issue...
I plugged the camera, fired up a small example program (below), and everything worked great! Just for kicks, I stopped the program and tried to start it again. I get the following error: "NI-IMAQdx: (Hex 0xBFF69012) Attribute value is out of range."
All I have to do to fix the problem, though, is reboot (unplug/replug power) the camera! This is really annoying, though, as it's likely I'll be firing up multiple Labview programs in one sitting and it's a pain to have to power cycle after each test.
Any idea why the attribute is only "out of range" on the 2nd/3rd/4th attempt and not the first?

Aha - Labview 8.5.1 and IMAQdx 3.0.1 don't play nice.
Labview 8.6.1 and Vision Acquisition 2009 are on their way... hopefully that will fix the problem. I'll certainly be back if it doesn't

Why MAX5.0 not report right XML file settings from AVT GigE camera?

I have a AVT Prosilica GC660M GigE camera. It had a touble to synchonize with an external trigger. My ex-colleague posted this long time ago (http://forums.ni.com/t5/Machine-Vision/Problem-with-external-trigger-on-GigE-camera/m-p/1060572/high...), so I think it might be better to start a new one. Inside the MAX, there's only one option under the "ExposureMode" as "timed" which only use preconfigured time, and cannot be trigger by an external signal. The workaround is to manually register it inside the camera. It was thought to be a bug and an update of firmware should fix it.However the problem remains after I recently upgraded the firmware. And o I installed the AVT package. Both the MAX and the AVT GigEViewer correctly retrived the camera firmware version as 1.42.02. Yet MAX still shows only the "timed" option, while the GigEViewer shows all four enums as described in their attribute manual "Manual, Auto, AutoOnce, External". I had tried to delet the xml and files associate with the camera under IN-IMAQdx\Data. However everytime MAX genenrates them excatly the same with only "timed" option in the XML file. Now it feels more like something is wrong with the MAX instead. I wonder how to fix it.
Thanks,
Lei

Hi Lei,
I am not exactly sure why you are not seeing all the attributes, but it could be a few different things causing it. First let’s just make sure you have all you attributes being displayed (follow instructions from link below). What happens if you delete the XML file then set your camera to “External” in the GigEViewer software, then load MAX? Do you see any changes? Can you post a screenshot showing the camera attributes from MAX. If you have your camera set to External from GigEViewer and you try to grab from the camera in MAX do you get a timeout error, does it trigger external, what happens?

Unsupported Files error - iphoto 08 (Camera Canon IXUS 80)

Over the last couple of weeks we have been getting unsupported file error when we try and import photo's to iphoto from our camera. The files are jpg's and it has only been happening since 2009. All our other photos (6,000) seem to be fine.
Any advise appreciated.

It means that your other library has some form of corruption.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that doesn’t help:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.

PS CC: Camera Raw filter gives "cannot parse your files" error

Hi
I can open files fine in Photoshop CC, but if I try to use the Camera Raw filter, I get the "file format module cannot parse your files" error. This only happens with larger TIFFs, say 300 MB or so - 70 MB files work fine. I have a fast machine running Windows 7 with 12GB of RAM, so I would expect to have enough space, but maybe it isn't configured properly in PS preferences?
Thanks for any help,
Peter

300MB Tiff seems like a large files size for a Tiff which leads me to believe its a layered Tiff. ACR does not have Layers support try opening the Tiff file in Photoshop not through ACR to see it there are layers. If there are target all of them and convert to a smart Object then try ACR as a filter. A smart object is a single layer in Photoshop.

Noncontinuable exception error opening camera file

Hi.
I'm trying to open a camera file I generated in Camera FIle Generator in MAX. I keep getting an exception error with the popup of submitting an error report. (I actually have problems with 2 camera files, but I'm thinking the problems are related.)
In Camera File Generator, I can connect to the camera and see video. The camera is an Allied Vision Bonito CL 400B-200fps. We have a NI PCIe-1429 Cameralink card.
WIn-7 64-bit, but MAX and Camera File Generator are both 32-bit. (Maybe this is the problem?)
- How do I find out what is wrong with the camera file.
- This is on a non-networked machine, so how do I submit it a crash report?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks. I was looking for the appropriate forum for MAX. I saw posts reference MAX, so I thought this was it. Is Machine Vision the right forum for Measurement and Automation Explorer?

File Error - Unknown file when trying to import from HDD camera

I recently purchased a Panasonic SDR-H80 and am trying to get my widescreen footage into FCP. I converted the .MOD files to .m4v files in Handbrake, and they play and look fine in the Finder. However, when I try to move them into FCP, I get a dialog that says "File Error - Unknown file." I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Can anybody help?

I converted the .MOD files to .m4v files in Handbrake .... I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here
What you're doing wrong is using Handbrake and trying to use .m4v files in FCP. Neither is the correct process in preparing for editing.
Try using MPEG Streamclip and a format that actually works natively in FCP. .m4v is a final delivery format- not for editing. A search on this forum would have revealed that to you in a matter of seconds: http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?objID=c206&search=Go&q=handbrake

GigE cameras

Hi, I'm having some troubles managing 4 cameras, two are firewire and two are GigE. I have no problems running my program with HIGHLIGHT EXECUTION, but if I run it in a continuously way the next error appears: 0XBFF69002 "Invalid Parameter" and no image is displayed with one of the GigE camera. This only occurs with one of the GigE Camera, the other ones, work perfectly.
Anybody can help me, I will appreciate your time...
Regards...

   Ok, sorry about the brief explanation. The cameras I have connected is a DALSA cam (GigE), a Marlin cam (FireWire), a Guppy cam (FireWire) and a JAI cam (GigE). I can see every camera in the MAX, the one I have problems is the DALSA cam. But, just as I was describe it, if I run my program with highlight execution, my program works, in a slowly way, but it works, if I run it in a continuosly way, the program sends me that error...
   I don't have the file right here, I could upload on Monday 13th, but the program flows is as follows: 1st I check the number of cameras connected, I create folders for every camera connected, and then, I start the while loop where I open a session cam, then configure, then take a snap and save it into its folder and then I close session. I make a sweepping between all connected cameras. The program ends when an error occurs or when I press STOP button.
   It's very simple, as you can see, but I have this problem. The configuration of the cameras were adjusted, the frame speed in DALSA is 150 fps, in the other ones is faster (near 8000), the snaps are from 1024 x 780 and every camera has its own configuration about the type of the snap (RGB 32, or Grayscale) as I need it...
   Thank you for your time... =)

"File error: unknown file" upon movie import

Got a DVD. Extracted the footage with Mac the ripper. Created an mp4 file with Handbrake. It plays fine in Quicktime at 720 by 480 and 23.98 FPS. I've tried importing it into FCP and I get the error, "File error: unknown file". FCP sequence presents are 24 FPS...I've also tried switching it to 23.98 FPS. I've re-encoded the movie in Quicktime to a .mov file with "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC" compression and it still will not import. Any suggestions?

Tried making an AVI in Handbrake. Handbrake just froze everytime and it would never finish.
I should also note that FFMpeg did not like the footage either and would not convert it to a file of any kind.
So I put the DVD into a consumer DVD player and used my Panasonic DVX100B camera to record the footage in VCR mode. The tape turned out fine.
BUT...
I am trying to capture the footage from another low end Canon camera. Usually there is no problem. However, with this particular footage from this cursed DVD, I get a "general error" when I try to capture the footage in FCP.
No matter what file format or media is used, this footage will not import into FCP. It must be watermarked to not like FCP.
Any further suggestions???

"Unable to open project file" Error Message

I pulled an all-nighter (13 hours of editing) last night to create a critical project in FCE 3.5.1 on my Intel iMac running 10.4.11 then left this afternoon for a few hours and shut down my machine. Came back tonight and tried to open the project (which I saved on my Maxtor 1 TB external drive along with all of the scratch disk files). To my absolute panic, it won't open the file now with an error message that simply says, "Unable to open project file". HELP!!!! Anyone have any suggestions?!?!

In the past I found (and reported to Apple Feedback) the same bug Steve reports here, but I should recall that the problem:
- only appeared in PAL projects (probably not the case for kscritch) - never heard of it in NTSC
- was consistent in FCE 3.x, not so in FCE 4
I made tests importing .psd images with transparency into PAL projects using FCE 4, and I had various behaviours: sometimes the project worked, sometimes I couldn't open the project again (as in FCE 3), sometimes I had error messages with inconsistent behaviour (msg like "file error", but the project opened and file was there...), etc. so I decided to do without.
Now I only import .tif or .png images when I need transparency

"File Error: Unknown File" when rendering

Hi,
When attempting to render any clip I get a "File Error: Unknown File". Help?
I'm using FCP 6.0.5 with video content from a Canon consumer HD camera.
Thank you,
Tim Moore

switch the location of your render files and see if that helps. I had this happen week before last and it drove me crazy (crazier) I switched scratch disks and met deadline. Now it all behaves like it never happened. some bit stuck somewhere, that took the machine being off for a while to cure

PST is not an Outlook data file error coming while opening the Outlook

Hi,
Suddenly my outlook is showing the .pst file is not an Outlook data file error while starting. No big changes was made to the system to cause this. I had upgraded the IE version to 9 the same day. Done lots of trouble shooting but still not able fix my pst
file to work. My all mails are in that pst and there is no backup for it.
I am using Office Outlook 2007. I have already tried the following to make it work bu failed each time.
1. Tried to repair the .pst file using scanpst tool in the system, but closed due to an unexpected error at the Phase 6.
2. Successfully completed the repair using the scanpst of another Outlook 2010 system and added the pst back to my systems Outlook but it had only an Inbox folder in it which was empty.
3. Tried to repair the using other third party software's but none came successful.
Please let me know anything can be done for to make my old pst work again.

Hi,
What's the size of that .pst file?
Right click on the file and click Properties, make sure there's no
Read-only Attribute. Then we can run Scanpst.exe again to check the result again:

Should I modify the camera file to change the greyscale resolution of my Photonfocus camera from 8 to 12 bits?

I have some difficulties to use my Photonfocus camera with 12 bits greyscale resolution.
I have a Photonfocus camera MV-D1024E-160-CL-12, a NI PCIe-1429 frame grabber, PFRemote 2.0 and Measurement & Automation Explorer 4.2.1.3001.
If I work with 8 bits greyscale resolution (PFRemote -> Data Output: Resolution : 8 bit) and look at the image with MAX (Système -> Périphériques et interfaces -> NI-IMAQ Devices -> img0: NI PCIe-1429 -> Channel 0: PhotonFocus MV-D1024-160 (file in attachment), everything is working.
Now I'd like to work with 12 bits and I don't know exactly what I have to change? I've tried to change only the resolution in PFRemote (PFRemote -> Data Output: Resolution : 12 bit) but then the image in MAX remains a 8 bit resolution. Then I've tried also to modify the camera file (file in attachment). I've put the "BitDepth" and the "BitsPerComponent" at 12 instead of 8 and the "BinaryThreshold" to (0,4095). But when trying to grab an image in MAX, an error occured: "Error 0xBFF600FE Le nombre de bits par pixel requis est invalide".
Should I really modify the camera file in order to grab 12 bits images? Or what should I do?
Thank you
Mélanie

PhotonFocus MV-D1024-160.txt ‏5 KB

Hi toto26,
Thank you very much for the information. I did exactly the same thing as you suggested for 8-bit, and I were able to change the resolution (number of pixels), exposure time, frame rate without any problem. I understand that I need to coordinate the MAX icd file and the settings of PFRemote.
When I tried to switch to 12-bit, I found that I need the camera file (.icd) for 12-bit. I tried the attached icd in the previous discussion (Photonfocus MV-D1024E-160-CL-12 12-bit 1429 X4 only.zip 2 KB). There was an IMAX Error: Error 0xBFF6002C, FIFO overflow caused acquisition to halt. Then I think maybe this camera file is not good for me because I have a PCIe-1427, instead of a PCIe-1429.
So, I downloaded the camera file generator (from the same link you suggested) to create my own camera file. When I run the generator, the first window popped out was for camera setting, and there was no Photonfocus in the choice for the Manufacturer. Is it true that I cannot create camera files for Photonfocus camera, or I simply don't know how to use the generator?
Thanks again for the help and I look forward to more advices.

Hasi

40D raw .CR2 files still causing 'Unsupported Image File' error

I have the most recent version of Leopard 10.5.1 and the newest version of Aperture 1.5.6 (2J2). Often times I open a RAW image shot with a Canon 40D (.cr2 file), I get the red screen "unsupported Image File" error message. Color mode is RGB. These were shot with RAW plus JPEG (not SRAW). It doesn't happen on every image shot at the same time in the same way, just some of the images. Can anyone advise why I would still be having this issue so long after Apple is offering 40D support? I've tried rebuilding my library data base to no success. I've tried reinstalling aperture. What next? Getting very frustrated, thanks!

I use Nikons and sometimes get a message like that. This might not be Aperture causing this. Blow out the connector holes on your memory cards and pins inside the cameras where the card connects. If the error is on the same frames all the time reformat your card a couple of times before using and make sure the card is seated properly. Don't turn off the camera immediately after taking the shot but let the camera finish the process of writing the photo frame onto the card.
Have you opened the frames in Preview to check if it see it?

Has anyone gotten a missing file error when installing 10.5 on windows 7

I have tried to install iTunes 10.5 on my windows 7 64 bit laptop and keep getting a "missing file error" but it doesn't say what file is missing and I haven't been able to find any info to help resolve the issue. Any help would be appreciated!

Ok, if you get this message I've read a bit further and found that you must uninstal everything that has something to do with apple. this includes the device driver. this link may help you with that. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925 Once I went through the list and deleted everything (device support is a *****). I installed it again and it came up with the same error. I then clicked ok and it rolled back but automatically started installing again and it worked. I know have itunes 10.5. but know my iphone 4 wont connect to it, lol. it says i have to reinstal because the driver didn't take or something. I really want the OS update for my phone but gd this is a bit much.

File Error - FCP-6 - "not enough memory" ---DVDPro disk is slightly jerky..

I have a macbook. 2GHz Intel Core Duo, 1 GB 667 DDr2 SDRAM. Final Cut Pro 6.0.1
OS 10.4.11
I have a project file - HD that has worked fine up until now. And wouldn't you know it - it's just
when I need to be able to burn to quicktime that this occurs.
There appears to be a continuing "file error: not enough memory" - anytime I open a sequence - now in any project.
I have done a disk repair with disk utility. I zapped the P-RAM. I've tried dragging the project files to my laptop desktop. Nothing works.
I have a Lacie external drive with over 150GB of memory left. Another project was shot in HDV -
and it seems this started to occur after working on that project.
What else is there? Why is it doing this - of all things, now?
Please advise - ASAP!?
Also, one other small detail. If I have my sequence settings in FCP at DVCPRO-HD720p60, and I set my compressor file at 23.98fps - could that be responsible for a subtle jerking in the DVD Studio Pro Disk print? When I pull up the file in DVDpro - and play it on the simulator, the jerking is not present, only in the disk burn.

The memory that FCP is referring to is RAM. If you're running with less than a couple of gigs, larger projects will report that there's not enough memory... a gig isn't really enough to run FCP anymore. Tiger and Leopard use a LOT of it up so you probably need more RAM.
The other things that can use up RAM fast are graphics from photoshop, and if they have a blank layer in them, you'll get an out of memory error too. So might check that out, but my guts say you need more RAM for your laptop.
