Which is better for usb camera between VISA and imaqdx in labview 2010?

i have done a program for usb camera to acquire images with imaqdx.
now i want to know which is better between VISA and imaqdx in labview 2010?
i didn't study visa before
thans for help.

VISA is primarily used to communicate with instruments via GPIB/TCP-IP/Serial/USB. In order to use easily VISA with an instrument over USB the instrument must adhere to the USBTMC spec. A camera is not likely to have this. Otherwise you have to use USB RAW, and that requires detailed knowledge of the data that is transmitted by the instrument. Manufacturers rarely give this information out. Normally they will provide a DLL to communicate with the instrument.
Thus, in your case, VISA is not going to be an appropriate API to use for a USB camera.
Out of curiosity, what prompted this question?

I'm running LabVIEW 8.5, so where would I find a list of compatible for certain cameras and user reviews?

Hello All,
I'm narrowing down on my selection of cameras for my lab.
First there are two cameras from Point Gray which are:
- Grasshopper: Grasshopper
GRAS-14S3M/C
- Flea2: Flea 2 FL2-14S3M/C
And the third camera is from Allied Technology:
- Prosilica GX1910 GigE Monochrome Camera
One question is where would I find actual reviews from users who've had these cameras? Instead of referring to the website and looking at datasheets.
Will these camera run on LABVIEW 8.5/IMAQ-DX?
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
HumanCondition

Hi HumanCondition,
I just wanted to let you know that the latest version of our NI Vision Acquisition Software 2010.08 supports LabVIEW 8.5 development. Also, if you are looking for currently supported cameras I would check out our Industrial Camera Advisor. This lists all currently supported cameras. It appears as though we do not currently support the Grasshopper GRAS-14S3M/C or the Prosilica GX1910. We do support the Flea2 FL2-14S3M/C cameras. If the camera that you are needing is currently unsupported, you do have the option of generating a cameras file for that camera using our NI Camera File Generator. This software is free to download on the Overview tab.
Enjoy!

How do you add a third party sensor to LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms?

I recently purchased an IR Sensor from Mindsensors (DIST-Nx-Long-v3) which I need for a SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Application) that I am developing using the LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms software. I installed the Mindsonsors IR Sensor, and it works under NXT-G and RobotC, but am having trouble finding a way to get LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms to install the sensor.
The Mindsensors website gives the following instructions for installing the IR Sensor:
1.Unzip the folder mindsensors.com LVEE
2.Open a blank vi in LVEE
3.On the Block Diagram Go to Tools->Advanced->Edit Palette Set...
Unfortunately, on the Block Diagram of the LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms, there is no "Advanced->Edict Palette Set" under Tools.
As an alternative, I consulted the documentation that came with LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms. The Schematic Editor of LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms lists several sensors, i.e. the Lego Mindstorms sensors and several Hi-Teach (HT) sensors, but there are no procedures listed in the documentation for adding other third party sensors to the Functions Palette.
So, how does one go about adding a third party sensor to LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms?

Hi Ethan,
As you can see from my Word document, I am a little light on the proper terminology. That's because LVLM comes with inadequate documentation.
I have already followed your recommended protocol for installing a 3rd party sensor (in fact, its the protocol recommended by Mindsensors) with the application set in the Remote Mode (.lvrbt), and it does create a sub-palette with all the Mindsensors functions on it. But when I drag the Mindsensors icon to the Block Diagram and select "Distance Sensor," the Distance Sensor (an IR sensor) doesn't work (even though the Mindsensor's Distance Sensor does work with NXT-G, RobotC and LVLM under other circumstances (see below)).
If I repeat the above process with the application set in the Direct Mode (.vi), I also get the sub-palette with all the Mindsensors functions on it. When I drag the Mindsensors icon to the Block Diagram and select "Distance Sensor," the Distance Sensor does work.
What I need for my mapping application is for the Distance Sensor to work in the Remote Mode. I called NI tech support and the first engineer told me to simple drag the Mindsensors Functions (.vi) onto the Block Diagram. I did this, but when I selected the Distance Sensor, the icon appeared, but the sensor did not work. Since I have no idea what's under the hood of the vi or a function, I assumed that simply dragging the vi/function onto the desktop didn't install the vi/function properly. I went back to the Applications Engineer, and he confessed that he did not understand the LVLM product.
My frustration is being punted to new people, none of whom so far (other than you, of course) understand LVLM.

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?

LabVIEW 7 USB Camera

Has anyone tried to use the new USB functions in LabVIEW 7 to capture an image from a USB camera?

Hey JVS,
You can try and use the NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras driver to bring the images in, but this driver requires that the USB image device have DirectShow support.
If this does not work for you, then the hardware that you would like to use has to have some form of API that LabVIEW can communicate with. If it does, then you can just use a call library function node to call into the Pinacle software for it to return images to LabVIEW. Or you can try to use ActiveX to bring in the images. Last, you could check with the hardware manufacturer to see if they have any LabVIEW support or VI's that will allow their hardware to work with LV.
If the above doesn't work for you, then you might have to save the images to disk and then use the Vision Software to open the images from the files. Or you could display them by using native LabVIEW functions.
I hope this helps. Please let us know what your final solution is, so that others who would like to interact the same hardware with LabVIEW will be able to find a solution easily. Also, let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Thanks, and have a great day.
Regards,

Looking for Video Camera to measure crack length??????

I need to measure crack length in fatigue test of an Aluminium sample automatically. For example, the camera can take shots (Images) every 4000 cycles (fatigue load cycles), maybe more cycles.
For my test, I need to measure both sides crack length (right side and left side of specimen centre line), shown in Fig1. So I need to take shots both crack tips at the same time, which means camera must have a large field view and the resolution should measure 0.01mm, to see both crack tips clearly. At the end, I must be able to acquire images from Labview. I can save all the images into my fold from Labview, then I can measure crack lengths in left and right side from every image.
Would you please give me any suggestions on the characteristic/specifications of this kind of camera?
What kind of camera can I use? How much this kind of camera? Where can I order this kind of camera?

Do you have the software that will analyze your images? If not, your camera is not your major cost here.
But for just cameras, check out edmund optics (edmundoptics.com I think). They have a camera selector guide that will at least give you an idea of the specs you actually need and the price range to look at.

From Analog CCD to NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras?

I installed the NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras to obtain video feed from a SONY CCD camera in real-time. This camera only has the S-Video analog output so I used a Plextor PX-TV100U A/D converter to transform this signal to USB feed. It worked at first but after running my Vision VIs a couple of times NI-IMAQ could no longer establish a connection with the camera. And as I shut down my LabView 8.5, the whole computer rebooted automatically. The error messages from LabView 8.5 varied from "Not able to establish a connection to the camera... might be in use" to "No video driver installed...". None of it made any sense because the VI worked sometimes without errors. And the same thing happened to all three computers in my research lab at Tufts University.
I realize that my camera is going through a signal conversion before the USB, but why would NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras crash the whole computer? Also, is there a way to control my camera shutter speed from NI-IMAQ? I thought perhaps the camera wasn't setup right for the image acquisition. Help!!

Hi HTL,
IMAQ for USB only works with cameras that are DirectX compatible. Can you be sure that the information coming out of the A/D converter is compatible? Also, when you say "it worked at first" what exactly do you mean? Were you able to do image processing on images brought in via the camera? If you had Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) open and the camera selected at the time you tried to run a program that called the camera, you should get an error like you saw (Not able to establish connection).

Urgent Help Needed for WVC210 camera setup :)

Please help! I am trying to set up a Cisco WVC210 surveilance camera at one of the stores owned by the company I work for. Its a small business and I am the closest they have to an I.T person !! I have plenty of experience with software but not much on networking so need some idiot proof guidance ! The "administrative guide" is not worth the paper it is printed on!!
The store has a fixed IP address of 212.9.##.### I connected the camera using ethernet cable. Set the camera up using the software for the camera, with static ip address of 192.168.0.23. Set the SSID of the camera to that of the router (a Netgear one). It worked fine. I went to unplug so I could have it wireless and NOTHING !! It did work one time (no idea what i did differently!) but it would not work over the internet which is what we need it to do! I need the whole thing password protected too!
Is there ANYONE who can help me please??? I am at the point of running away from my work and never returning !!!! :s
Thank you

Hi Jodie,
Thank you for posting. In order to make the camera connect wirelessly, first set up the wireless settings in the camera to match the router. I usually open the router configuration page and copy and paste the SSID and Security Passphrase to the camera to avoid error. The next step is to unplug the ethernet cable and power cord from the camera. Then plug only the power back in and the camera should connect wirelessly.
For remote access to the camera you will need to forward port 80 to the LAN IP address of the camera. (192.168.0.23) This is done in the router. If you need help with port forwarding, you can search the web or call Netgear for assistance.
If you continue to need assistance with the camera, the fastest and easiest way to get assistance is to call Cisco Small Business Support. www.cisco.com/go/sbsc
Please go to www.cisco.com and click on "Register" in the upper right to create a user ID. This will allow our engineers to create a case for you.

Hi,
No . I could not solve the issue. Presently we are using microautobox (from Dspace)for doing the RCP.

LabVIEW for ARM 2009 Read from text file bug

Hello,
If you use the read from text file vi for reading text files from a sdcard there is a bug when you select the option "read lines"
you cannot select how many lines you want to read, it always reads the whole file, which cause a memory fault if you read big files!
I fixed this in the code (but the software doesn't recognize a EOF anymore..) in CCGByteStreamFileSupport.c
at row 709 the memory is allocated but it tries to allocate to much (since u only want to read lines).
looking at the codes it looks like it supposed to allocated 256 for a string:
Boolean bReadEntireLine = (linemode && (cnt == 0));
if(bReadEntireLine && !cnt) {
  cnt = BUFINCR;    //BUFINCR=256
but cnt is never false since if you select read lines this is the size of the file!
the variable linemode is also the size of the file.. STRANGE!
my solution:
Boolean bReadEntireLine = (linemode && (cnt > 0)); // ==
if(bReadEntireLine) {    //if(bReadEntireLine && !cnt) {
  cnt = BUFINCR;
and now the read line option does work, and reads one line until he sees CR or LF or if the count of 256 is done.
maybe the code is good but the data link of the vi's to the variables may be not, (cnt and linemode are the size of the file!)
count should be the number of lines, like chars in char mode.
linemode should be 0 or 1.
Hope someone can fix this in the new version!
greets,
Wouter

"LabVIEW for ARM guru and bug destroyer"

I have another solution, the EOF works with this one.
the cnt is the bytes that are not read yet, so the first time it tries to read (and allocate 4 MB).
you only want to say that if it's in line mode and cnt > 256 (BUFINCR) cnt = BUFINCR
the next time cnt is the value of the bytes that are not read yet, so the old value minus the line (until CR LF) or if cnt (256) is reached.
with this solution the program does not try to allocate the whole file but for the max of 256.
in CCGByteStreamFileSupprt.c row 705
if(linemode && (cnt>BUFINCR)){
cnt = BUFINCR;
don't use the count input when using the vi in line mode. count does not make sense, cnt will be the total file size. also the output will be an array.
linemode seems to be the value of the file size but I checked this and it is just 0 or 1, so this is good
update: damn it doesn't work!

My iPhone 5S is using 2.5GBs of storage for the camera roll. I deleted all but 190 photos and this did not change. My other devices cannot backup to iCloud due to the volume on my iPhone. Any ideas?

Try turning off the Camera Roll option in Settings>iCloud>Backup & Storage>Manage Storage>Your device. Then turn it back on again.
