Is QICAM supported by IMAQ for 1394 driver?

Have looked at the following link for FireWire camera support.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/afded7f599e8a73a8625689e007672e5?OpenDocument
Looked at the data sheet (attached) for the camera we are considering and it says 12-bit output. Would this camera work with IMAQ for 1394? The link above mentions the outputs supported are 8-bit and 16-bit.
Thanks for your help.

Hello CarlosY.
As the link above mentions, the thing that is required for a FireWire camera to be compatible with our driver is that it is DCAM compliant.
The KnowledgeBase is not totally clear about different monochrome bit depths other than 8 and 16, but they are supported. I was unable to confirm from the attached QICAM datasheet whether that specific camera is DCAM compliant, but it appears that it will be fine. Again, the bit depth of 12 should not be a problem.
Hope this clarifies it for you!

Ni-imaq for 1394 camera support for sony dv cameras

Hello,
I am wondering if there is any way to capture images from my sony mini dv recorder (DCR-PC101 NTSC) to Labview. Is it possible through ni-imaq for 1394?
Thank You.

Hi charliec,
Support for mini dv cameras is not currently available with the IMAQ 1394 driver. The only way to access the files captured by the camera are to download them to disk then open them with LabVIEW (or some other programming environment).

NI-IMAQ for 1394 und LabView 8.2

Hallo,
ich habe hier LabView 8.2 und wollte die NI-Vision Toolbox (Version 8.20) ausprobieren. Dazu habe ich diese und die NI-IMAQ for 1394 Treiber (Version 2.01) ebenfalls installiert.
Im MAX erscheint die Kamera und läßt sich ansprechen.
Wenn ich jetzt in LabView die Kamera einbinden will fehlen mir die VI's für die FireWire-Kameras.
Es existieren nur die normalen NI-IMAQ VI's für NI Hardware und auf der Platte finde ich auch keine VI's.
Wie bekomme ich die NI-IMAQ for 1394 VI's in LabView 8.2 hinein?
Bin für jede schnelle Hilfe und Anregung dankbar, da für die Probephase für NI Vision in 14 Tagen abläuft.
Danke im voraus

Hallo Michael,
NI-IMAQ for 1394 2.0.1 unterstützt LabVIEW ab 7.0.
Typisch unterstützt NI die letzten 3 Versionen von LabVIEW, das wären demnach 7.0, 7.1 und 8.0. Definitiv war NI-IMAQ for 1394 2.0.1 vor dem Release von LabVIEW 8.2 verfügbar. Ich denke, ohne Update auf eine aktuelle Version der NI Vision Acquisition Software wird das unter LabVIEW 8.2 nichts.
Der Support für NI-IMAQ for 1394 ist übrigens für 2008 (den Monat hab ich nicht parat) abgekündigt. Statt dessen spricht man digitale Kameras über NI-IMAQdx an. -> Details entnimmst Du am besten der NI Homepage.

Labview 7.0 and NI-IMAQ IEEE-1394 1.1

I upgraded to Labview 7.0 and have NI-IMAQ IEEE-1394 1.1
Is there a compatibility issue between these two? The data type for IMAQ Image Create in 7.0 is different than in 6.0 and also different from IMAQ1394 Get Image.
Is there a solution to this?

Hello.
There is a possibility that you are having some issues due to driver incompatibility problems. The current version of the NI-IMAQ for 1394 driver is 1.5.3. The following download page will take you to the update to 1.5.3, but you must have 1.5 or higher to run this updater.
In your case, you should probably call in to your local inside sales representative and request your free upgrade to 1.5.3 on CD, or you could go to http://www.ni.com/advisor/ to go through the upgrade advisor for your software.
I believe that with a fresh installation of the latest driver, your issues should
go away.

NI-IMAQ and WDM driver

Dear Sir:
1. Have you know any fuctions can support NI-IMAQ for WDM driver?
2. If couldn't, how can I use the LABVIEW made of WDM driver? or anything else ways can make it?
vovo

Dear Sir,
The NI-IMAQ driver is made for our image acquisition boards from NI. Inside a program it can interact with no problem with any other driver. I believe you are referring to the wavelength-division multiplexing driver for a laser instrument, is that true? If so, could you be more specific on what are you trying to accomplish and why would you like to have IMAQ and WDM interact with each other?. Please elaborate your question with more detail so we can assist you. You may try as well to reach us at www.ni.com/ask and choose Email or Phone NI Engineers.
Thanks!

If you look at How Can I Tell If My IEEE 1394 (Firewire) Camera Is Supported by the NI-IMAQ for 1394 you will find the dragonfly listed there.
You will also find a reference to Digital camera specification: 1.3 in the camera data sheet which confirms this.
Hope this helps!

Has anyone used the QuickUSB module (Bitswise Systems) to interface to a USB Camera via IMAQ for USB?

Has anyone used the QuickUSB module made by Bitwise Systems with LabVIEW for image acquisition. I have a USB camera and I'm trying to use the IMAQ for USB controls to no avail. Any input is appreciated.

Are you using the NI-IMAQ for USB functions or are you calling the QuickUSB libraries from LabVIEW? Unless the USB camera is DirectShow compliant, then it will not work with the NI-IMAQ for USB driver. You can use the Code Interface Node in LabVIEW to call external dll's, and it looks like from QuickUSB's website that is the best way to go. Hope this helps.

Missing camera attributes with the NI IMAQ for IEEE-1394 driver

I'm using an ORCA-AG and the IEEE-1394 driver. When i look at the camera attributes (either with MAX or the attribtue inquiry vi.) i can see just some of them (brightness, shutter,...). I have tried the ORCA-ER, which has the same attributes, but uses the PCI-1424 framegrabber. Using this camera i can see and modify more attributes (light mode,...). How can i modify them with the IEEE 1394 driver?
I also have another problem. When i use 1x1 binning the image must be 8bits, if is use 16bits, max cannot aquire the image (timeout error). Does anyone have the same problem?
Thank you very much.

Some non-standard attributes can be modified by directly reading and writing to the memory of the camera. Your camera manual probably has memory locations listed for the different attributes. You can get to these using the low level firewire routines. I have done it once or twice.

NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 cameras under LabVIEW 6.1

I just purchased this driver for Firewire cameras and got the latest version 2.0 that seems to only work for LV 7 and higher. Which version works for LV 6.1 and where can I get it? (Older versions of these drivers don't seem to be available under the driver pages at ni.com in the usual place.) I suppose i need to "downgrade" now. Any insights?

Hello bernhardschnurr,
Thank you for using our discussion forums. You will have to use NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 cameras ver 1.5.3 or earlier for support for LabVIEW 6.1. These drivers are not available for download on our website. I would recommend contacting your local NI support and they can help you get these drivers. Please visit http://www.ni.com/support/ and choose to phone NI.

I just got it working with DV camcorder today. But I haven't update my
website. I need to do a final test over this weekend. On next Monday I
will post an update in m
y website. So far I've tested on Cannon ZR45MC
DV camcorder and it worked fine. I can capture the live video or tape
from the camcorder through firewire and sample the image data out of
it. And was able to remote control the recording action.

Can I set camera registers in version 1.1 of the IMAQ 1394 driver to values outside of the DCAM 1.3 specs?

I have an imaging system that includes a Pt Grey Dragonfly camera. I know that using the manufactures SDK, I can set different camera parameters outside of the DCAM specs by setting camera registers. If I am using version 1.1 of the IMAQ 1394 driver can I set, say the frame rate to a value outside the DCAM specs?

Attempting to control Sony DFW-VL500 via IMAQ IEEE-1394 and LabView 7.0

I'm attempting to get images from a sony DFW-VL500 camera. I defined it as a device in MAX 3.0: the grab and snap functions seem to work. However, I cannot save video (only still images work).
This is a non-issue since what I would like to program in Labview 7.0 is to preview a continuous image and then snap individual frames. However, I keep incurring a -1074364408 error. Has anyone been able to get a functional VI that grabs images with this camera? Furthermore, is there a way for me to control the Zoom and Focus via LabVIEW? Any help will be appreciated.

The error you are receiving is a "Function not supported error" - which function does this error occur at? Make sure that your camera supports this feature and that you are calling it correctly.
I do know that this camera is supported by the NI-IMAQ for IEEE-1394 driver, version 1.5. If you don't have this latest version, you'll want to update that - although since it is not a free download, you'll have to call in to NI to get it.
In order to program what you are discussing, take a look at the following linked example program.

You'll have to replace the regular IMAQ functions with 1394 functions, but other than that it should be th
e same.
Hope this helps -

I am trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 13", when i run bootcamp it tells me that there is not a windows support software available for my computer. Where can i get the windows support software for my macbook?

Apple only supports Windows on certain hardware.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Apple provides their framework for Windows to run on a Mac, a piece of software called a Hybrid MBR that bridges the gap between how Windows reads the drive partition table (MBR) and EFI/GUID partition table that Mac's use.
It doesn't mean Windows can't run on your Mac, a third party solution called rEFIt will also bridge the gap and allow booting of more that just Windows, Linux as well for a triple booting computer.
Your hardware has to meet the other requirements the second and third operating system needs as as being able to install drivers that will work for your hardware, especially the fans or they will run loud and fast by default.
http://refit.sourceforge.net/
This above is a advanced procedure which requires knowledge how computers and various operating systems, drive formats and so forth work.
I even admit I don't know everything myself, but I experiment on a separate piece of Mac hardware (out of warranty/AppleCare) designed for this purpose so in case something screws up I'm not taking down my only machine and can use the other to get online and find solutions.
There is a very high potential for losing your data if your using advanced/non-Apple methods to install Windows on your only Mac where Apple doesn't support it. Also one shouldn't be doing this on Mac hardware that is under AppleCare or warranty as it might be voided. Proceed at your own risk and education.
