How to acquire images on labview 6.0 using matrox meteor card acquisition?

i've a matrox meteor card acquisition , i want to display images on labview interface.

Abdel,
You can use third-party data acquisition boards with LabVIEW; you just cannot configure such boards using MAX. MAX support is just one of the integration advantages that you get when you use NI hardware and software in conjunction.
LabVIEW can communicate with 3rd party hardware using the Call Library function found in the Advanced palette under the Functions Palette. If your hardware is provided with a driver-level DLL then LabVIEW can communicate with the hardware. However, you will need complete documentation of the DLL in order for you to create your own interface for the 3rd party hardware.
Another option would be if the manufacturer of the hardware provided LabVIEW VIs that controls their hardware. You will not be able to use the National Inst
ruments Data Acquisition (DAQ) VIs because those VIs use the NI-DAQ DLL, which is our driver-level software for our DAQ boards. Other companies use their own driver-level software to control their own hardware. Only National Instruments hardware uses the NI-DAQ driver which allows you to use the LabVIEW DAQ VIs.

How to display images on labview interface using matrox meteor card acquisition

how to acquire images on lab view interface.

Hi,
you have to use National Instruments IMAQVision library and Meteor drivers
for this library. For drivers look at www.matrox.com, thirth party software.
For doing image processing algorithms you need the IMAQVision library but
when you only need acquiring and displaying in LV6.1 I think some basic acq.
vi's are included.
Good luck,

Acquire images with labview via firewire and TWAIN

Hi,
I have a camera from optronics. This camera is plugged to my computer
via a FireWire IEEE-1394 connection. The company optronics offers a
TWAIN driver for this camera: some files like TWAIN.dll and
TWAIN_32.dll. I would like to acquire images with labview and
communicate with the camera but I have no idea on how I should get
started.
The 3 main things I'd like to do are: 1) change the exposure time 2) snap images 3) see the images in labview.
I will really appreciate if someone could give me some ideas to get started...

Michael, From a
more general standpoint, what you'll need to do is use a Call
Library Function Node (located in the All Functions>>Advanced
palette) to call the necessary functions out of those DLLs. Before you
can do this, you'll need to know some specifics about what functions
are available in those DLLs and what parameters/outputs are associated
with them. This information is typically available in the product
manual or perhaps someone else with experience with your specific
device can speak to that. Once you know the functions necessary to
execute the desired operations, you simply configure a Call Library
Function Node for each of them and place them in your LabVIEW code.
Just
saw this and want to clarify on this. This is a total no-go! The Twain
interface is a very old technology from the days when Windows was a
cooperative multitasking environment without real tasks or threads. In
order for Twain to allow for some sort of multitasked integration into
an application it requires you to integrate the Twain handling into the
message loop of your application. As you do not have direct control
over the source code LabVIEW is written from, this is a very tedious
operation, with Windows message hooks and such, lots and lots of
semaphore protection to avoid race conditions etc. etc.
There is simply no way that you can do anything even remotely workable
just by using the Call Library Node. You will need a (rather complex)
external shared library that goes in between Twain and LabVIEW and
takes care of all the subtleties. I know for sure because I wrote such
a beast in the past.
Now there is a Toolkit from the French Alliance member Alliance Vision http://www.alliancevision.com/us/index.html that
does this. If you need Twain I would definitely go for this. My own
library is only to the point of what I had needed for a particular
project, (meaning it supports two specific scanners without issues) and
without any documentation for external users and I couldn't give it
away for free either.
Just want to warn you but there is a good chance that the Alliance
Vision Twain Toolkit does not really give you full programmatic control
of all the parameters of non-scanner devices and you won't be able to
avoid letting the Twain driver show the device specific configuration
dialog to manipulate specific settings.
In my own library I have low level functions to directly manipulate
Twain attributes but in order to be able to use that you would need a
through knowledge of the Twain specifications down to the API. That
together with the difficulties to support other devices I don't have
available, made us decide to not try to sell this Toolkit yet.

Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SF card as the default install location for software applications?

Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SD card / external drive as the default install location for software applications? Primarily interested in apps installed from the windows store. This should be available in the settings
charm within the windows store. This must have been overlooked in the development of windows 8.1 or is a bug.

The registry method does not work with 8.1. I found this out the hard way. Doing it on 8.1 will leave you reinstalling the OS if you didn't do a SRP beforehand.

Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps, iTunes U content or podcasts without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

How to acquire images in MAX from FLIR A310 camera

Hello all,
I'm starting a project and have to develop an application in Labview using an infrared camera from FLIR.
I have followed all the instructions in the FLIR Getting Started Guide. I have installed the FLIR IP Config and the FLIR IR Monitor. All worked fine, I can find the camera in the network (is an IP camera) and see images with the IR Monitor.
But, when open the MAX I can't see the camera under NI-IMAQdx Devices, so MAX can't find the camera.
From FLIR founded these answer: http://flir.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/757/kw/labview
They said:
How can LabVIEW read/write properties of a camera connected via NI MAX?
Attend the LabVIEW example "IMAQdx Examples.llb\Grab and Attributes Setup.vi". It shows how attributes of a camera can be accessed for this kind of connection. Note that FLIR highly recommends using Thermovision LabVIEW Toolkit. Using MAX-based image acquisition is not recommended .
I don't understand if the Thermovision Labview Toolkit it is needed in order to do what I want, or only recommended.
One more thing, somebody know why they don't recomend using MAX-based image acquisition?
Thanks..

Hi!
No, a frame grabber will not help either. The FLIR A310 has only a standard 100baseT Ethernet interface. FLIR is using a proprietary protocol and image format. Hence you will need their "FLIR LabVIEW Toolkit" if you are using the A310. You will not need the toolkit when you use the GeniCAM compliant FLIR A315 or A615.
There is also a brand new camera on the market - the FLIR A35. It is also GeniCAM compliant, but cost about half. It is not quite as accurate as the A315 when it comes to absolute temperature measurements.
We are a FLIR Distributor and NI Alliance Partner and can help with cameras, integration and LabVIEW programming.

How to acquire images with a Sony dsc

Hi, I would like to know if there is a method to interface or connect a consumer digital camera (Sony dsc- s650) to labview, what I'm trying to do is control the camera in order to acquire images whit it, I have read some stuff about .icd files but i havent been able to find more information about it, this is a school project i need to build a machien vision app but i'm very limited with hardware so fas this is the only camera i have, thanks.

Hello mjasso,
If you cannot buy NI hardware to
interface with a camera, you have three options: firewire, GigE or USB
cameras. From a datasheet I found on the web, the Sony dsc-s650 has a
USB interface. The following knowledgebase article explains which USB
cameras are supported:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/89E33B77CFE244E986256F8E004E0F13
. You will need the NI-IMAQ for USB driver if the camera has a
DirectShow filter. You will probably have to contact Sony to verify
this information.
Please refer to the following webpage
to see the requirements for the IMAQ for USB driver:
http://sine.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5030 . I hope this helps.

How to acquire data from 2 chs of the same DAQ card at different sampling rate

I am using single DAQ card (either 6013 or 6014) in my system i want to acquire data from 2 (or more) channels with following requirements
1. sampling rate of each channel should be independant of each other (say one is 20 Hz and other is 15 kHz)
2. data from all the channels should be acquired simultaneously.
3. coding must be done using DAQmx VIs
I have tried out following things
1. I created separate task for each channel: i found out that two tasks can not run simultaneously even though the channels are different
2. I tried out single task with two channels included in it. and i used 'channels to Read' property to determine from which ch. i want to acquire data: this method works fine if the sampling rates are same. but if i change the sampling rate of one channel it gets reflected in other channels as well.
can somebody help me out to solve this problem.
i will appreciate if somebody can post the sample code as my deadline is approaching

How to create Image as Custom Property Type used in Configurable Web Part?

I wanted to create custom configurable web part property for Image.
Example - the screenshot of Image property used in Image web part is shown below:
My goal is to create as many images as possible in custom configurable web part.
I tried to write the code:
[WebBrowsable(true),
WebDisplayName("Example Photo"),
WebDescription("Example Photo of the user"),
Category("Custom User Profile"),
Personalizable(PersonalizationScope.Shared)]
public Image ExampleUserPhoto { get; set; }
However, the result does not display Image configurable web part property.
I wonder why the data type Image does not cause the custom web part to have Image configurable web part property.
Other data types such as Boolean, Enum, Integer, String and DateTime can be used.
How can I create Image as Custom Property Type used in Configurable Web Part?

I have examined that context node __00 has been enhanced,and has a class name z___00. But when I created a new attirubute by right click " Attributes" with wizard under context node __00.There is still a error message "view is not enhaced or copied with wizard".
But when I created a method "getvaliation " in the class of context node zcl__00, the attribute 'valiation' automatically created(at the same time the method "getvaliation' automatically created for the attribute 'valiation') and I need not to create attibute 'validation' by wizard . It seemed as if the problem is resloved. But when I make test for it in web ui .There is a runtime erro message.
Do I need to make some configurations in the business object layer for the checkbox? but the checkbox is only used as a flag to decide whether a backgoud job is needed to be executed.

How can I pay for photoshop CC without using a credit card?

My son is paying for CC without using a credit card, The subscription is being taken from his bank account/debit card, I was told this wasn't possible by an adobe rep. Is it possible?
Adobe told me everyone that has a subscription must have a credit card to pay.

A debit card, if it can be used as a credit card, can be used to pay for anything online. If he's using his debit card to pay for his CC account then it is possible. The rep may have just been referring to using a checking account being a method that isn't possible.
He needs to stop using his debit card to pay for anything online as debit cards are unsecured so if someone were to acquire the card number they could clear out his checking account and your son would be unable to do anything about it.

HT6006 How do I make an in app purchase using a gift card?

My son registered a gift card he received for $15 on my itunes account. He wants to use this money to make in-app purchases for one of his games. He was purchasing coins or something, but the process went to my account, but didn't take money from the balance of the card. I am guessing I need to change a setting, but it didn't give an option to do so. How do I go about using the gift card? The balance shows on my computer when the account is open, so I know he did it correctly, we just don't know how to spend it!

No, in-app purchase can only be done using the app.

How can I control a stepper motor drive using a DAQ card?

I need to control a simple CW/CCW stepper motor drive using a DAQ
card. I simply need to output a 5 volt signal and then a drop in
the signal, and so on 200 times or steps for 1 revolution. I have
desiigned the basic program, but do not know how to output the
appropriate signal.
Cheers,
Matt

What DAQ card do you have? Ideally, one with a counter output to generate the steps, where you can control frequency. If you try to start the motor too fast (acceleration or abrupt application of fast pulses) it may stall out. Search in Help/Search for Examples for 'frequency' and 'pulse' for example of frequency generation. You can also use a digital output on the DAQ card to control direction.
If DAQ card does not have a counter, you coul do a software timed loop to toggle a digital output to generate the pulse train. It may not be fast enough nor accurate for your application, do not know from info you have given

How to acquire image from S-video camera

Hi,
I have a camera with S-video interface. I use a S-video to USB adaptor to acquire the images from my camera. Popular video editor/maker softwares, for example Windows Movie Maker, ULead VideoStudio, etc.. are able to display the video capture from my camera (using the same S-video to USB adaptor). Thus, I think the adaptor transferred the camera to an USB Directshow camera already? However I cannot grab images/video using Labview. I have installed IMAQdx, and I can use the same LabView VI to grab images/video from my USB camera.
Is there any suggestion for my case?
Thanks.

Make sure you are using the right color channel, in most cases YYUV will not display. Use RGB. Also try changing the resolution settings.
