How to configure an ip camera in labview

I need to control several ip cameras in labview, but I don't know how to configure and add one of these cameras in a labview application, in order for me to get video and to take pictures.
Can someone please tell me how to do this in a way that doesn't involve a camera adapter that can only handle 1 camera at a time. And if I have to use one of these softwares, please sugggest one that can handle a minimum of 5 cameras at the same time.
Thanks in advance!

Hi nando1988,
If I Understood, you can see cameras connected to your computer but not the cameras in the local network. Am I right?
I'm sending you a manual to connect an IP Camera to your system and recognize it.
http://www.baslerweb.com/media/documents/AW00064504000%20Interface%20GigE%20Cam%20NI%20Vision%208-2-...
I’m sending you another document that explains how to acquire image from a specific camera in the network, is like a Getting Started with NI-IMAQ.

How to configure the GPIB controller in LABVIEW or MAX to send UNLISTEN and UNTALK when each message ends?

In a PC to PC GPIB configuration, one PC is used as a non-controller and it reads either LACS or TACS status bits continuously. It apears that the controller PC does not send UNTALK and UNLISTEN at the end of each message. The non-controller reads and writes therefor times-out.
What is the correct message synchronisation for a non-controller?
I use Labview 6, PCIIA, WIN98SE.
Thanks.

Are you using LabVIEW as the controller, non-controller, or both?
NI-488.2 does have a configuration option to enable unaddressing. I am not sure of where it is in LabVIEW, but if you search for unaddressing, you should find some information on it. With unaddressing, NI-488. will unaddress the device after communicating with it.
If you are not using LabVIEW as the non-controller, National Instruments does have a software package called NI-Device that may help. This is an API designed for non-controllers. It does not currently have a LabVIEW interface. It works under C++ with a PCI-GPIB board.
A third option is to rewrite your device application. Your device should really not care about TACS or LACS as you read them from the status register Your device
should only look for LACS, DCAS, and perhaps DTAS (if you desire triggering). When it is LACS, it should read data. After a read has completed, it should interpret the data and get ready for a response. It is only at that moment that the device should look for TACS (and DCAS). It is hard to put a flowchart here, but if you design the flow of a standard instrument, you will see some patterns about when to look for certain status bits.

How do I read the camera model and manufacturer from IMAQ in LabVIEW?

Hello All,
I have a machine vision application for automated test. I am required to save the image for each test for quality purposes. Since LabVIEW interfaces the CameraLink camera thru the IMAQ driver, various cameras can be used without changing the LabVIEW application. I need to store the basic configuration information, including camera model and manufacturer, with the image. I am able to read some parameters from IMAQ (like bit allocation and shutter speed) using the Read Attribute VI, but unable to read model and manufacturer.
Does anyone know how to read camera make/model from IMAQ in LabVIEW?

With this VI, any camera attribute that you can see and set in MAX, you should be able to see and set in LabVIEW. These are attributes that are defined in you camera file. Since Model/Make is not an "attribute" that you necessarily set, it is not included in your attributes tab in MAX.
If your camera file included a model attribute, then it would show up in MAX under attributes and you would be able to read it using the above-mentioned VI. The only thing I can suggest is perhaps use some File I/O instead of IMAQ VI's and read your camera file, if the ones you have are consistent in structure.
Hope this helps!

How to configure cRIO 9004 and link it with Labview?

Today i tried to connect the cRIO 9004 to my pc using the serial cable
but unfortunately the controller was not detecting on my pc. Then I
turned on the IP reset button and tried connecting it using LAN to get
an IP address but it also didn't work. I was looking for drivers on the
internet and NI website but I couldn't find any directly related ones.
Status light is blinking slowly and continuously(one flash every
couple of seconds). According to cRIO 9004 manual it indicates "That the
controller is unconfigured. Use MAX to configure the controller.
Refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for information
about configuring the controller".
I tried MAX but its still not detecting the controller to configure.
It would be great if you'll could help me out with this as I'm configuring this type of a controller for the first time.
Thanks and regards
Kavin

Hey,
First of all get sure that you have LV RT and FPGA as well as the NI RIO driver installed at your system.
Then the easiest way would be to use a crossover ethernet cable to directly connect the cRIO to your PC.
Give the PC a static IP Adress e.g. 100.100.100.100. Deactivate Firewall and Virus Scanners.
Reboot the cRIO with IP Reset Switch ON, then it should appear in MAX under Network Devices with IP 0.0.0.0.
Give the cRIO also a static IP like 100.100.100.111, set IP Reset switch to OFF before saving this settings.
Now you can install the software at your cRIO also via MAX.
Then you should be able to find it in LabVIEW by right-clicking "Project UntitledX" and "Add Targets and Devices".
There should be different tutorials online how to configure a cRIO or other Realtime targets.

How to configure Time Capsule for setup of an IP camera?

First, a summary of my gear: Internet service provider = Verizon FIOS. FIOS uses an ActionTec Router (Model MI424WR). The ActionTec does the routing, assignment of private IP addresses and NAT. The ActionTec has wireless capability but I have DISABLED the wireless piece of ActionTec. I use Time Capsule (4rth generation, 802.11n, Version 7.6) for my wireless LAN. The Time Capsule is hardwired to the ActionTec via Ethernet.
My objective is to setup a Foscam IP camera (Model FI8918), connected wirelessly with Time Capsule, so that I can control the Foscam from both inside and outside of my wireless LAN from my iPhone running a Foscam app. If anyone has managed to get an IP camera up and running in the scenario described above, I would appreciate any tips and info, especially when it comes to port forwarding and connection sharing. For example, do I need to setup port forwarding on both the ActionTec and Time Capsule? What type of connection sharing? Right now, the Time Capsule is in bridge mode.

I have yet to setup my cameras, but I can tell you that since the Time Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode....and that is the correct setting for it when it is connected to the Actiontec Gateway/Router.....that any port forwarding or other configuration must take place within the Actiontec router.
In Bridge Mode, the Time Capsule is acting as a simple pass through device even though it is functioning as a wireless access point.
Everything on the network gets an IP address from the Actiontec device, so that is where you will need to concentrate with the configuration of the cameras.
It's unlikely that an Actiontec expert is here on an Apple support forum, but you never know. Might be a good idea to also post in an Actiontec support forum.

Hello, how can I interface a princeton ccd camera (microscope camera) with labview??

Hello,
Im trying to connect my microscope cam to labview, but Im getting started with labview,
my camera is managed by a software called win view and it works; but I'm trying to control the camera by labview.
what's the way to allow labview to see my cam??
best regards

Hi Marcio,
it is important to have right information on the hardware you are using. in particular which is your camera type (FireWire, analogic, Camera Link, GigaEthernet, USB) and if you have the drivers of your image acquisition board.
Have you got LabVIEW Development System only? Which version? Do you have others NI LabVIEW Modules or NI Softwares (for instance NI Vision)?
I'm waiting for your news.

Don't know which technology to utilize or how to configure ASA5505

I have an ASA5505. Currently, it is using static NAT on several ports to forward traffic to several devices inside my network. It is a pain not only to configure but from the end user side.
The issue I am having is the applicatoins I am using to access the devices become a mess with dual configurations, one for when I am connected to the internal network and one for when I am away from the office and accessing from the internet. For example, I have 2 Cisco VC240 IP Cameras behind the ASA5505. One is set use port 9091 and the other 9092. When I am inside the office, I access them via http://10.1.2.215:9091 and http://10.1.2.216:9092. But when I am away from the office, I have to have another configuration in an Android app to use them, http://external_ASA_IP:9091 and 9092 and then NAT 9091 to the object for Camera1 and 9092 for Camera2. This is only one scenario. I also have a UC320W that I would like to put an IP phone at home and it sounds like AnyConnect is the only way to do this.
It sounds like to me that if I use some type of VPN, I can access the same devices using the same IP whether internal or external with the external connection using the VPN to tunnel the IP to the local network. There seems to be quite a few ways to do this with an ASA 5505.
AnyConnect seems like the way to go but after reading Cisco documentation, it requires your Android device to be root'd if it is not a particular Samsung model. If I understand correctly, root'ing your phone voids the warranty. I know it is common practice but would think Cisco would have a better solution as I am sure Cisco would not want another manufacturer telling their customers to void the warranty on their Cisco equipment in order to get it to work.
I believe I can just use IPSEC and use the native VPN of the Android OS and also tunnel L2TP as the Android supports IPSEC-PSK/L2TP or IPSEC-CRT/L2TP. But will either of these will support the IP phone to the UC320W?
A friend also told me to use NginX to proxy URL's so the URL http://www.fqdn.com/camera1 gets proxy'd to the internal IP of Camera1 and http://www.fqdn.com/camera2 gets proxy'd to Camera2. He says I should be able to store a cookie on the phone and let the phone authenticate to the camera and if the phone cannot, the proxy can authenticate internally to the IP camera over SSL.
I don't know anymore, I am so confused and just want to simplify my life as I am just a small business with me and a couple other employees but I have full-time job and it is not IT/Network Technician, it is only CTO/CEO/CIO/CFO. I don't have hours upon hours to set this up and test and I don't have hours upon hours to manage it. I just need to simplify this and have so that it is a set-it-and-forget-it for 6 months to 1 year and re-evaluate or update. So, if someone suggests IPSEC, I would not know how to configure anyway and you should expect another post. The same for AnyConnect or any of the other suggestions.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi!
1. Set Calculation Mode property of ITEM_5 to Formula.
Formula property:
nvl(:Block_Name.ITEM_1, 0) + nvl(:Block_Name.ITEM_2, 0) + nvl(:Block_Name.ITEM_3, 0) + nvl(:Block_Name.ITEM_4, 0)
OR
Function_Name(Param_1,... Param_N);
Have in view of, that the ITEM_5 data will not be saved in DataBase.
2. When-Validate-Item trigger is usfull when is necessary to store calculated item data in DataBase.
Rename you Post-Query trigger to When-Validate-Item.
Modify trigger: Store calculation result in the variable.
(Don't forget to round variable value!)
Then compare it with ITEM_5. If they are different - :ITEM_5 := var_name.
I prefer the first method.

How can i use isight camera to broadcast to web with Mac OS 10.4?

I am using an iBook G4 running OS 10.4 as a printer server. I have to do this to be able to print on my HP DeskJet 882c printer from computers running OS 10.6 and above (although I have not been able to get it to work with 10.8).
I can connect an iSight camera to the iBook via FireWire. Can I set that up to broadcast a video feed to a web site so I can visually monitor the area near the laptop and printer?

jrmnewtonma wrote: How can i use isight camera to broadcast to web with Mac OS 10.4?
You could use compatible older versions of QuickTime professional extensions for your Mac OS X version.
This professional quality software is very powerful, and it will certainly stream any video you need. However, it is not simple to use, so be prepared to do some research and study to get it configured and working.
To use your iBook with its OS X 10.4, you will need QuickTime Broadcaster 1.5.3
and Darwin Streaming Server (v5.5.5) (if you need streaming server functions.)
Although I have never used it, QuickTime Streaming Server 4.1.1 might be a useable substitute for Darwin.

How to configure SMTP for iCloud?

I have never used the Mail program on my macs. I started using Eudora in 1995 and when Mail came along some years later, i didn't take to it, it didn't have the functionality i needed and enjoyed. Fast forward to a couple days ago, my Snow Leopard MacBook is wearing out and i got a new MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. When i was setting up the new computer, i thought iCloud would be configured automatically. It wasn't because i have a couple of different Apple IDs but i think that is straightened out now and i'm signed in using the me.com email address and have my calendars and contacts syncing with iphone and my other computer. Mail is working, but only for my me.com email address which i rarely use. I mainly use a gmail address.
I don't want to use Mail and i don't want mail to be downloaded to it. That happened on my other computur, so that i had tens of thousands of messages in a program i never open and don't use. So i somehow turned it off so it no longer gets the mail from my other accounts. i don't want to receive email in Mail. But because i can't use Eudora in Mountain Lion, i need a new email client. Today, i downloaded and installed Mail Mate, i want to try it out. When I tried to use Mail mate to send an email i got a message saying "No SMTP server configured for iCloud." i googled how to configure SMTP for iCloud and what i found said it configures automatically. So i don't know what to do. I went to ICloud in system preferences and i don't see anything i can do there.
Is there anything i can get it to do to configure automatically? All my software is up to date, if that makes a difference.

i was persistently googling search terms for this problem and came across a link that gave information to the effect that for non Apple email clients, SMTP has to be configured manually, and the settings were provided. I entered them into Mail Mate and now it works. So thankfully, this problem is solved.

How can I record a video with LAbview?

Hi,
I have a question: How can I record a video with labview?
I have a camera (AXIS 221) connected via rj45 on PC. I see the video of the camera in a browser.
And I would to acquire the video in labview.
Could someone help me?
Thanks
Raf

Unfortunately I haven't any experience with this camera. Iguess, you should install API, then crete new VI, place ActiveX container (palette Container->ActiveX) on the Front Panel, then right mouse click, then choose Insert ActiveX object..., then found you camera object and select it and press OK. Then you probably can see image from the on the front panel. Also probably you will be able to get image data in array (how easy is it - depends from the camera API).
If you able to see image from camera in the Internet Explorer, then another method - you can put Microsoft Web Browser as ActiveX object, then you should also see the image. Disadvantage of this method - you will be not able to get image data.

How to configure the .ts files' path in the m3u8

Now I have a fms server running, but the m3u8 file is not use the correct url for the ts files in the playlist.
just like this:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=6334,BANDWIDTH=100000
liveevent/livestream1.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=6334,BANDWIDTH=200000
liveevent/livestream2.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=6334,BANDWIDTH=350000
liveevent/livestream3.m3u8
How to configure it to like this?
http://xxx.xx.xx.xxx./liveevent/livestream1.m3u8

I just want to have a live channel for HLS.
I use the virtual camera to play a viedo. And use the FMLE to publish the viedo.
And I create a m3u8 file named liveevent.m3u8.
just like this:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=150000
http://192.168.3.109/hls-live/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=500000

#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=700000
http://192.168.3.109/hls-live/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream3.m3u8
and put it on the webroot.
now if I play this file, the client will download all the livestream%i.m3u8,
The file livestream%i.m3u8 was created by FMS automaticlly.
but it use the relative path for the ts files.
I need the absolute path.
that's all.
thanks.

How to configure SCOT to handle multi language emails in SAP 4.6C

Hello,
I have an SAP 4.6C MDMP system with several languages installed such as Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified).
I have been asked to configure SCOT so that users are able to send out emails via SBWP in their own language. Ie Chinese users sending out emails in Chinese (simplified), Taiwanese users send out mails in Chinese (traditional) and Japanese users sending out mails in Japanese.
I have configured SCOT as per SAP note 311633, by implementing 4 different INT nodes for English, Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified and Japanese; implemented this note and created the report RSCONCDG.
The problem is that I do not know how to configure the nodes so that each email goes to the correct SCOT node. ie Japanese to the Japanese node, Chinese traditional to the Chinese traditional node and so on.
How do I configure each node for this?
Thank you.

Hi Siddesh, thank you for your detailed explanation and sorry for the late reply as I was very busy with some oher work till today.
I have configured 4 sender groups in SCOT - one for each language I want to send out the email in (english, chinese simplified, chinese traditional and japanese)
After, I configured the CDG parameters in 3 users so each is configured for the sender group for chinese simpliified, chinese traditional and japanese respectively.
I set up the routing using RSCONCDG and tested the routing for each user via SCOT routing test and the routing worked correctly.
Finally I did the actual test: log in as each user in the respective language in the SAP system, SBWP, copied a few lines in the same language and sent it out.
Using the default code page: ISO-8859-1, all the chinese and language texts in the email came out gibberish.
Using the code page: ISO-2022-JP, all the non-english text will be emailed out in japanese, whether the email was originally in chinese or japanese.
I do not know how else to proceed from here. Any advice?

How to configure Personal WS to sort names by last name?

Hello,
I was recently going through my Novell Vibe Admin Guide and came across directions on how to configure the navigation panel in the Personal Workspaces to sort names by last name (by adding wsTree.titleFormat=1to the ssf-ext.properties file). Does anyone know how to do this with the actual Personal Workspace Landing Page itself? We use the Personal Workspace Landing Page as a make shift employee directory. Please see the attached image if I am not being very clear:
I thank you for your help.
