How can I get two cameras to aquire at the same time rather than one after the other

I've got (2) PCI-1428 cards, Two Uniq Vision cameras with power supplies, cameralink cables, and IMAQ-D6804 cables. Both cameras are being triggered by the same switch, but they are not grabbing images at the same time. Right now it is triggering one camera as desired, but the other doesn't aquire until after the time-sensitive event. On the next test, the two camera will trade these roles. I am using 2 cards, so they should acquire at the same time. How do I change it so that they grab images at the same time? Thank you for your help.

Hi Deater,
Thank  you for your post.  Triggering from two cameras at the same time may be a little trickey, but it can be done.  There are multiple ways to tackle this problem.  If you have a RTSI cable, you can RTSI the two PCI boards together internally to lock them in HW.  You should also be able to use the triggering line on each board.
One of the best methods for triggering multiple boards is called GenLocking.  The following Developer Zone page describes GenLocking more fully and has several examples to help you out: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/a3​87b5c0ac6f6f4e86256c87005fcddf.
The "HL Grab with two boards.vi" shipping example is also a good example of the code needed to trigger two individual boards in LV.  I found a similar post that may be of some help as well: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=230​&message.id=2691&requireLogin=False
Hope this helps!

    After installing Mavericks my iMac opens with the "rolling surf" desktop. I can then start my preferred desktop from a saved 'photo but when I retsart the iMac it reverts to "rolling surf". How can I get it to remember to open with MY choice rather than Apple's?

    I did a little research on this, as I found some strange things with the .plist files.
    It appears that Apple has changed the way that the plist files are handled, and there is now an extra step in the trashing-the-.plist-file fix:
    1. hold down the option key
    2. in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Libary
    3. in Library, find Preferences
    4. in Preferences, find  com.apple.desktop.plist  and drag it to the trash.
    5. go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
         1. Sort by Process Name and look for two processes named cfprefsd.
         2. Make sure you select the one that has your user account, not "root", listed as the User.
         3. Click the X up at the top left to kill that process
    5. restart
    6. this will generate a new .plist file, so you will have to reenter your preferences.
    Sorry for the confusion. Could you try this and let us know-

  • How can I get my pictures in Picasa to open in Firefox rather than IE?

    I want to view my pictures in a separate tab through Firefox to copy them to my blog. As of now I can only open them in Picasa Photo Viewer, Windows Media center, and Microsoft Office.

    Of course, Firefox is my default browser.
    Actually, the pictures don't open in IE, either. I just tried. The choices are Picasa Photo Viewer, Windows Media Center, and Microsoft Office. On my old computer, Firefox and IE were included in the 'Open in' list.

  • How can I Find/Replace a word on all cast members together rather than one at a time?

    I currently use Director 11.5.9 with Windows 7 64 bit
    I have some director movies I programmed years ago.  I included the file extension .dir when I used "go to movie" statements (I didn't know any better at that time).  For example, I would write, go to movie "alpha.dir".  I have now updated those movies to Director 11.5.9 and want to protect them by updating them to .dxr movies.  Obviously, the code "go to movie name.dir" won't work any more.  I need to take out the .dir extensions from every occurance in those movies.  Most all of them are cast scripts on buttons.  A few of them appear in score scripts.
    In searching this forum, I did find some tips for search/replace on ALL cast scripts, but when I attempted to follow them I did not find the options they suggested on the drop down menus.
    Can someone tell me the steps for going into a Director movie and telling the Find and Replace function to replace ALL occurences of ".dir" in Cast Scripts with ""?
    Currently, I am having to find them manually and replace them one at a time.  There are a LOT  movies with a LOT of occcurences of .dir, so this is far too slow.  I'm sure it can be done more efficiently.
    Any help than anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.  I have a project that is coming due very soon and I don't want to delay it if possible.

    When you open any script in this movie and press CTRL+F it should open a search-and-replace text dialog with a "Replace all" button/option that does exactly what you are asking for - unless I've misunderstood.

    Default apps are part of the iOS and cannot be deleted.  Search all home screens and all folders and/or search for it with Spotlight, that will tell you what folder it's in.
    Also check Settings > General > Restrictions to see if it has been restricted.
    If not found, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • My 3gs won't take pics. It says it's full and to delete pics/vids, but I only have 30 pics and I've had tripple that plus vids and it took pics fine. How can I get my camera working again?

    The number of pictures/videos on the device is irrelevant.  If there is not available space on the device, there is no way to take pictures.  Pictures, videos, music, iBooks, and any other media share the same space.
    Might be a good idea to manage the content on the device going forward so that there is always space available.
    Try not to fall into the misconception that many others experience, believing that the iPhone is a storage device, it simply is not.  Instead it is intended to be a mirror of the content on the computer.

    No... do not move programs.
    About the iTunes library files
    Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

  • How can I get a reference to all controls on a front panel of one type )for example of the type Text Ring?

    I'd like to set the strings[] property of all the Text Ring controls on a front panel at once without creating a property node for every text ring. How can i do that?

    This is likely more complicated than making property nodes for each
    ring, but you can do it. Make a subVI that takes in a panel reference,
    reads the array of control references, loops through them looking for
    rings, and modifying the Strings[] property on each ring.
    The part of this that will probably be the least obvious, when you
    have an array of control references there are two ways to find out
    if an element is a ring. You can read the classID and compare it
    to the cla
    ssID of a true ring control. An alternative is to cast
    the control reference to a ring control using a Cast to more specific
    node and wire the error out to a case structure. The error case is
    where the objects that aren't rings will go. The success case case
    where you will have a valid ring refnum that you can use to modify
    the strings.

  • How can I blend two video clips where they join side by side in one movie?

    Hello Marvelous Movie Making Minds,
    I am working with Adobe Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
    How can I blend two video clips where they join side by side in one movie?
    I know how to place two or more video clips together in the same movie, but how can I give them a bit of a blend just where they join?
    I have a PDF instruction manual and the built-in web browser instructions.  In the instruction manual in "Chapter 7: Superimposing and Compositing" it talks about the transparency of any video clip, and I understand that... but I don't want to make one or the other video clip transparent anyplace except where the two video clips join together with perhaps a bit of overlap.
    I'd like to make a little blur just where the two videos join in the middle... is this possible?
    Thanks,
    digi

    Aha that kind of blending.
    Have not used 6.5 in a loooooooong time.
    So this is from memory, hope i get this right.
    Set the two clip on top of each other
    Make a matte in Photoshop and superimpose this over the two clips.
    Go to the Transparancy Settings and set the top clip in video 2 to Alpha key.
    Screendump for matte:
    The right side is made black just for the forum but should be transparant.

  • How can i upload two different logos for 2 sub sites [which falls under one super site ] in share point 2013 ?

    hello,
    How can i upload two different logos for 2 sub sites [which falls under one super site ] in share point 2013 ?
    thanks,
    Jay

    Hi,
    I understand that it applied first logo to all other sub sites.
    Please make sure that you change the logos in the subsites.
    If we change the logo in the root site, the logos in the subsites will be changed at the same time.
    However, we can change the logo in the subsites separately.
    We can go to a subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo->select a picture, then it will has a different logo than the root site.
    Then go to the other subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo-> select another picture, then it will has a different logo that the first subsite.
    Best Regards,

  • I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app?

    I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app (the orange sqaure with headphones)? Currently I have had to often downloads and sift through all my files to find the ones I want to open into itunes, and it's irritating.

    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Installing iTunes does not and has never caused media to magically appear on the computer.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

  • When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out.  How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

    When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out.  How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Just downloaded the 7.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. Does this use up data and how can I get it to stop pausing for periods of time?

    Just downloaded the 7.1.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. I'm wondering how I can stream more than just my purchased music?And does this use up data? Also, how can I get playback to stop pausing for periods of time? It is a wifi thing??

    If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
    Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
    If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.
