Installing USB camera failure

I installed a default WES 7 OS with the IBW disk. (Application compatibility)
After installation completed I plugged in a USB web cam, expecting for the driver to be installed automatically (pooling the driver from the internet, (as I did and succeeded with windows 7 pro) but the
installation failed.
Camera model ELP-UA188
VID_1871&PID_0d01
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Avi Wertheimer

Installing the USB came after installing from IBW will not pull in the various device drivers needed for the camera. Make sure the USB camera is connected and then install via IBW.
The proper method that give you better control is to use TAP to investigate drivers and pull the PMQ into ICE. You can add any missing drivers via ICE and then create a custom IBW.

Cant install NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras

i tried to install NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras.but it cant get it to install its giving the error need higher version than 7.0 but i am using 8.0 .also it is saying that it needs vision 7.0 ........??wat are these error ..how can i get it install ????????help
thx
Regards

nolsqn,
Can you clarify what you have installed? You must have all of the following installed to get NI IMAQ for USB Cameras to install:
System Requirements:
- Windows 2000/XP (English,
Italian, Japanese, French, Italian, Norwegian, Dutch,
Spanish/Portuguese, Russian, and simple Chinese)
- LabVIEW 7.0 or higher with NI Vision 7.1 or higher for the USB LabVIEW support
- Vision Assistant 7.1 or higher for the USB Vision Assistant plugin module
- Vision Assistant 8.0 or higher for the USB Express VI
It sounds like you are missing Vision Development Module (this is what is referred to as NI Vision)? Is this true?

How can I use a USB camera with cRIO 9022. Please see my strange problem.

Hi,
I would like to use a USB camera with NI cRIO 9022. I used the same USB camera with NI USB 6216 DAQ device and developed a VI(within a PROJECT and outside it). So, It is working fine with NI USB 6216 device when I use the Vision Assistant Express VI and gets detected in its Initialization Window. Please see JPEG File 3 where I get NO ERROR.
I am facing a problem when I want to use it with NI cRIO 9022. What exactly I am doing in this case is:
1) Create a NEW PROJECT
2) Add Targets and Devices(NI cRIO 9022)
3) Use the Scan Interface mode
4) Create a NEW VI under the cRIO 9022 device
5) Use a Timed Loop(Synchronized with Scan Engine) for continuous Data Acquisition and Sending from the Analog I/O modules.
6) Use the Vision Assistant available through the NI Vision Acquisition 2010 Module(I get STUCK HERE! The Express VI opens the Initialization Window, but I don't see the USB camera like in JPEG File 3)
I am facing difficulties with this HOST COMPUTER, cRIO implementation differences. On my host computer I have the software packages as shown in JPEG File 1, and on my cRIO 9022 as shown in JPEG File 2.
Can someone guide me how to overcome this and get the USB camera detected when I am using NI cRIO 9022?
NOTE: If this is a problem with software mismatches on HOST and NI cRIO 9022 device, please see JPEG Files 1 and 2 for available software and Host and cRIO 9022.
Thanks.
Amar.

When you select My Computer, you are running the program on the PC. In this case, the camera works because it is connected to the PC. The scan engine doesn't work because it needs to run on the cRIO, not the PC.
When you create the program on the cRIO, you can use the scan engine because the program is on the cRIO. You can't use the camera because it is back on the PC, and can't be found on the cRIO.
The project is a wonderful tool, but it may be making the programming seem too simple. It may not be clear to you that by moving a program to a different location (PC or cRIO), it is running in an entirely different environment on a totally different machine, even though it is just a little further down in the project. You can't easily access the hardware on one machine while running the program on the other.
So the summary is: The camera is attached to the PC. The scan engine runs on the cRIO. Never the twain shall meet.

Taking a picture in LabVIEW with USB camera

Hello:
I am trying to find a way to use a Logitech USB camera (or potentially a different USB camera - perhaps a more expensive Edmund Optics camera) to snap a picture in LabVIEW. I have NI Vision software installed as well as the IMAQ USB extension for Vision, but I'm not sure where to go from here. All I need to be able to do is to snap a photo within LabVIEW and have LabVIEW save it onto the hard drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad

Hi Brad,
Some of the information in the thread linked above may be out of date.
Check out this article [Acquiring Images in LabVIEW Using a USB or an IEEE1394 (FireWire) Camera] for some advice on how to snap your pictures. If you already have the NI-IMAQdx drivers, you should be able to use these for acquisition (as long as the USB camera is DirectShow compliant).
If you do not have the NI-IMAQdx drivers, but you do have the Vision Development Module you will be able to download the Vision Acquisition Software which includes these drivers. The vision acquisition software can be found here: http://www.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/bot/no/ap/tech/lang/en/pg/1/sn/catnav:du,n8:13.79.7820,ssnav:s...

I can't see my usb camera (Kodak CX7220)

Hi,
The package libgphoto2 (2.1.4-2) does not contain my camera. So, I had to compile the new version (2.1.5) myself. After installed it, I dont know if I have to do something else, but when I run gthumb or gtkam, I still can't see my camera on the list!
Anyone knows what I have to do?
Thanks!

Hi murpheus40.
First check out the following very recent article about cameras under LInux:
"Use Your Digital Camera with Linux"
http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/lin … gicam.html
Now for a few tips:
1. Check that the USB camera is recognized after it's been plugged in. You can check the devices file:
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
or you can run usbview (an Arch Linux package).
2. Even if you can't get gthumb or gtkam to work right now, you can download the files directly using gphot2. This is nicely described in the article referenced above.
3. You might find that your camera is not well supported by ghoto2. For one of my cameras this meant that the USB connection was lost and it was necessary to replug the camera in to work with additional commands (e.g., doing a complete file list dropped the connection after the listing was complete).
4. Your camera IS supported by gphoto2. See:
http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php
5. The previous tips may not have gotten you to your goal. There's a lot of good information about setting up USB cameras under LInux using gphoto2 at:
"Digital Camera Support for UNIX, Linux and BSD"
http://www.teaser.fr/~hfiguiere/linux/digicam.html
"Configuring a USB digital still camera on Debian"

How to add a feature to my usb camera import window in CS6

I have a USB camera connected to my PC and I can open it with photoshop through File>>import. This camera is connected to a microscope and it essential for each image to have a data bar and lable which I made an script to do it, but to run that script I have to close import window in CS6 or it doesn't let me access anything else, and I don't wnat to close it. All I need is to be able to add a checkmark in import window, or even have some window pop on once I click capture and asks me which script to run and then run it. Does anyone know how to modify driver for my camera. It seems that Twain plugin reads camera driver for available optiions. all I have to do is to madify it and add that option.Any idean how?

I have gotten it to work, but first, for Tim, the manual can be found here (pick the language of your choice) -
http://www.hama.at/portal/searchSelectedProductNO/type*201/action*1026/searchMode*1/qwlan+usb-stick
In searching online, I found a "patch" at:
http://www.hama.at/portal/searchSelectedProductNO/type*201/action*1026/searchMode*1/qwlan+usb-stick
The instructions on that page include the following text:
"This is USB CDC for g_ether Linux devices on OS X 10.5 ("Leopard"), patched by Angel Roman of Bug Labs. It has been tested to run on OS X 10.5.2 on Intel Macs.
This patch exists in order to provided IP-over-USB capabilities to OS X, allowing you to access various embedded Linux gadget-type devices ... connected to your Mac.."
That sounded like what I needed, so I went ahead and installed their patch - and, it worked. I unplugged the hama device from the USB port, installed the patch, and restarted my machine. Once everything was up, I plugged in the device - and up came the message that a new network device had been detected. Everything worked great from there on, and I'm connected to the hama device now in order to respond to Tim's message! It also shows up in the Network Utility as en2, just as it should.

How to capture image from USB camera in Labview 2010

Hey all,
I am very new to Labview but am working on a project that requires me to use a sensor to send a signal to Labview to capture an image from a USB camera and save. Then apply some image processing to do some geometric calculations. The calculation will be based on pixels so I guess the image needs to be in bitmap form. Right now I am just trying to start with the image acquisition part and was wondering if this can be done in Labview 2010. I have the vision toolbox and NXT Robotics. Are there any examples on this website that will help and do I have te proper tools to do this? Once I get the image capture/grab to work using labview, then I could work getting a sensor signal to trigger that capture and finally the processing side.
Like I said, I am very new to this so I am not sure if I need to download any particular drivers or vi's that I am missing or what those might be. Can someone provide some insight, links, or any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Hi wklove,
In order to do vision with LabVIEW you need to to have the Vision development module and have NI Vision Acquisition Software (VAS) installed. It sounds like you are missing VAS you can download it here. Once you have this installed you should be able to see your camera in Measurement and Automation (MAX). After you are able to see the camera, take a look at the NI Example Finder by going to Help » Find Examples

Ichat USB camera

Is there any way that you can use a usb webcam with ichat as if it were an isight so that its fully compatable with ichat. As apart from the rediculously expensive isights now i can't find a firewire camera anywhere.

Again Apple refuse to acknowledge those who don't have bags of cash to upgrade to a new machine every year, if their computers weren't so robust maybe we would have to. Yes bulit to last however to stay in the game you have to keep upgrading, so no new cameras, no new support....
Thank god for third party software, these are the mac'ers that do care. Anyway to get your USB cam to work install the above (www.macam.com) and also download and install 'Application Enhancer' at www.unsanity.com.
I have a Logitech Quickcam Express on my Powerbook and it now works fine. I have tested it on two machines and ichatAV is working fine with this camera. However i suspect if your chatting with other ichat users they may need to have this software installed too. Although I haven't tested it with other users. Hope it works for you.

IMAQdx and Mightex USB Camera

Hello,
I'm having trouble getting my Mightex USB camera to work with Labview 2010 and IMAQdx. Previously I installed their DirectShow drivers and was using Labview 8.5 with the IMAQ for USB package and everything worked fine. Now I'm looking to operate the camera with Labview 2010, however running any of the IMAQdx example programs, such as Grab.vi in Labview 2010, throws an unidentified error. To troubleshoot, I attempted to see if I could operate the camera using Measurement and Automation Explorer version 5.0.0f1. The "NI-IMAQdx Devices" list populates with two entries:
-cam1 : Mightex_BufferSource Filter
-Mightex CCD Camera : Mightex_BufferCCDSource Filter
When I click on either of these to try and access the camera, I get the following error: "Error 0x8007007E The scarab quadrant number is invalid" which returns 0 results in google!
I've contacted Mightex. They are not using Labview 2010 but believe their DirectShow drivers are fine, and I know they are installed correctly because everything works with IMAQ for USB in Labview 8.5.
Can anyone offer any suggestions or clues as to where the problem could be? Do their drivers need to be updated specifically for IMAQdx, or should the DirectShow drivers that worked with IMAQ for USB be sufficient to work with IMAQdx?
Thanks for your help!

OK nevermind, I'm an idiot. A mod can delete this thread or perhaps leave it up if you think it might be useful to someone someday.
I had changed the folder name where the camera software and drivers were located on my local computer after installing everything, and this is what messed everything up. I reinstalled the DirectShow drivers and now everything works fine.

USB camera "could not be initialized properly" in vision assistant, error code unknown

Hi All,
I was working on a project with Labview 2011, and VDM 2014 (vision developement module), and VAS 2014_August (vision aquisition software).
I finished my project well including the use of vision assistant!
but when the temporary licenses expired for the VDM and VAS, then I want to activate the purchased licenses for both of them, I should use the VAS 2014_februar not augest!!!
then I uninstalled the 6 drivers included for the VAS_2014_August IMAQ & IMAQ Runtime, IMAQ I/O and IMAQ I/O Runtime, IMAQdx & IMAQdx Runtime, then installed the VAS_2014_02 February!
but the vision assistant stopped working!
as attached in the files, when I try to aquire an image from there, I get "The specified aquisition device could not be initialize properly"...
and if I am trying to press on grab I get the same!
I tried a lot of things like to remove drivers for the VAS_2014_08 then to install even the 2015 then to uninstall 2015 then to install again 2014 february...
also in the NI MAX I can find the camera and to activate to grab and snap! but not in the vision assistant!
what can you suggest for me as solution?!
Thanks.

For the past several years, LabVIEW was released in August, with a Service Pack (SP1) released in February. Thus LabVIEW 2014 was released in August 2014, LabVIEW 2013 was released in August 2013, and LabVIEW 2013 SP1 was released in February 2014.
You cannot depend on the year to know the LabVIEW Version!!
Also, LabVIEW is not really backward-compatible. If you are doing serious Development work, you want LabVIEW and all of the relevant Toolkits and Modules to be the same Release (e.g. 2011, 2013, or 2014 -- don't "mix and match"). If you have NI Update installed, it should help you "migrate" to Service Pack 1, if necessary.

Two-USB camera identification

Hi everyone. I have two same USB cameras wanted to connected to the computer. The two cameras are same and use the same driver to install on computer. When I want to use MAX or IMAQdx Open.vi to connect the camera I can only find one camera connected on my computer. So are there any ways to get this two cameras identified by LabVIEW and then I can use them to capture images at the same time. Thank you very much!

Hi
To acquire from multiple cameras in LabVIEW, you must enumerate the list of cameras with the IMAQ USB/Imaqdx Enumerate Cameras VI. Then a session can be opened for each different camera.
Check this may helps you http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/D13527D8471D5FC5862576A4006BD081

Can't capture usb cam

It seems that JMStudio can't capture usb cam. It just give me a pink screen.
Platform : Win98 SE
camera : logitech usb cam
JDK version : 1.3.1
JMF version : 2.1.1
JMStudio works well when I use a BT848 capture card. I don't know what's the problem. Please advise.
Anson

Hi !
Follow the procedure :
1) Install JDK successfully.
2) Install JMF successfully.( This will set the class
path etc. for you automatically)
3) Connect the WebCam.
4) Install the Driver Software which comes along with
the WebCam.
5) Run the JMFRegistry.exe (Which you can find @
JMF2.1.1/bin folder )
In that click the Capture Devices option.The program
will capture the attached/available media devices.
6) Run jmfinit.exe, ( in the above mentioned folder)
7)Try capturing the Audio/Video from your mic/WebCam
If you are able to do this, your implementation is
successful.
Hope this helps !
Max !Hi Max,
Thanks for your reply first.
Actually I have captured video successfully by using a pci capture card. But when I use a usb camera, JMStudio just show a pink screen or just halt my pc (btw, JMFRegistry can successfully detected my usb camera).

Get an image from USB cam without NI VIsion Acquisition

HI
I am looking for a way to capture images from USB cam without using a paid library ImaxDx for Labview.
Have you any ideas?

Hello MaxEngee
Off hand, I suppose you could run the third party capture software in the background and have a LabVIEW scan the target directy for changes/new images and import the image as necessary.
In the mean time, if you install the NI Vision Acquisition Software, you do have a 30-day trial period so perhaps you may consider exploring the environment to see if it is right for you.
