HCOUNT missing from M&A v3 / IMAQ 1409??

Question

This question is about the differences between the Measurement and Automation tool for the 1408 and that which is installed with the 1409.
On our systems using the 1408, we are using:
M&A Explorer v1.1 Build 51
NI-IMQ software v2.21.
With this setup, on our camera settings we are able to set properties as
follows:
Generic RS-170 camera
left: 12
top: 0
width: 1000
height: 1000
clamp start: 2
clamp stop: 8
HCOUNT: 1023
and these settings ultimately allow us to capture a full 1000x1000 image.
On our new systems which use the 1409 and:
M&A Explorer v3.0.2.3005
NI-IMQ software v2.61.0
30Hz Progressive Scan camera
It seems we can no longer make the approp
riate settings to allow us to capture a full 1000x1000 window (NOT including the clamp). We're limited in our left/top/width/height to 1000. For example if I set Left=0, I can only set Width to 999. Top seems to only go down to 3 and Height then maxs out at 996. There also no longer appears to be a HCOUNT setting available, though I was able to find a pixels per line setting, but it was greyed out. Our problem is that are images now contain the clamp, whereas in the older version we could effectively remove the clamp via settings that no longer seem to be available to use.
Are we missing some key step here with the new version of M&A? Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. I can't believe that the new card wouldn't support the same sizes as the old card.

Answer 1

I'm answering my own question here based on feedback from National Instruments tech support:
With the 1409 it has a different ICD (camera file) The default image settings for the camera are set up in the ICD file. You can go into the file and make modification if you want to go outside the normal range. The file is located C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-IMAQ\Data\RS-170(1409).icd It can be open in notepad and
edited. This is were the max image size is set.
