MAX cannot find my camera attributes

I'm still learning about machine vision to do a project that require image processing. I'm using LabVIEW 2010 and my camera is only my laptop webcam (MAX recognize it as: USB2.0 UVC VGA WebCam). I'm trying to do a feature like the one in the "Grab and Attributes Setup.vi" example, which is to control, for example, white balance. Running the example itself, I can change the white balance in LabVIEW (not in MAX). The problem is that in MAX, camera attributes shows exactly nothing, thus I cannot or dont understand how to access that attribut.
So why is that the example in LabVIEW can adjust the white balance, while in MAX, no camera attributes at all is displayed?
PS: My friend using different laptop but same brand, type, model, spec (identical hardware), same driver, his MAX can detect these attributes.

the camera itself is onboard the laptop (not seperated webcam). I still haven't figure out why the attributes sometimes appear and sometimes is not. I've tried reinstalling my camera driver, IMAQ, and IMAQdx driver. I'll try using seperate webcam this weekend. Restarting my komp is also not the answer because it still appear and missing everytime. as for the reset, I cannot find it in tools menu. There's only "Reset NI-DAQmy Configuration".
MAX version is 4.8.0f0
NI-IMAQ 4.5
NI-IMAQ I/O 2.4
NI-IMAQdx 3.8
LabVIEW 2010 SP1 (evaluation license)
EDIT: I've attach my .vi files. When the attributes appear in MAX, this .vi is working fine and as I wanted, but when it is missing, the .vi returns error. The error message:
Error -1074360305 occurred at Property Node (arg 2) in 3-8_Acquiring using Property Node.vi
Possible reason(s):
NI-IMAQdx: (Hex 0xBFF6900F) Attribute not supported by the camera.
The read attributes such as BayerGainR is just for me testing, no particular use.

  • MAX cannot find two usb cameras at same time

    Hi,
    I want to use two usb cameras (Thorlabs DCC 1545M) in NI-IMAQdx in Labview, but it can only find one camera (the one plugged in earlier), and also only one camera is shown in MAX. Both cameras works in the software from the manufacturer, and if I unplug the 1st camera, the 2nd will show up in MAX after a refresh. 
    I found online that up to one camera is supported for each USB hub in Labview, and all USB ports in this computer are corresponding to a same hub. I don't know if this is causing the problem.
    Actually I don't need to take picture in both cameras at the same time, a programmed switch between the two cameras will work for me. 
    Any suggestion and comment will be appreciated.
    Solved!

    Hello JYang,
    According to this link, you can acquire from multiple USB cameras simultaneously.  The limitation is on the manufacturer and how they interface with the DirectShow bus.  When you are using two cameras of the same make and model, it is sometimes the case that not enough information is present for IMAQdx to distinguish between the two cameras.  When you switch the cameras in MAX, do they come in as different cameras, or do they show up virtually the same?
    Since you said switching between them would work, I found an example that does just that.  Just make sure to give each camera a unique camera name.  Hopefully this will be useful for you.
    Also, there is quite a bit of discussion on this topic available on the discussion forum already.  Check out these related threads, or use the Search box to search for more.  There is quite a lot of information available!

  • NI MAX throughput error and Camera attribute out of range

    I recently purchased a Point Grey Grasshopper3 camera, it seems to work fine in the Fly Cap software point grey provides, but I get an error in NI MAX when I try to do a simple grab (shown below). This error shows up every time I try to grab an image the first time after opening NI MAX, even though throughput is set to the max. Then I change the throughput max under device control to any number around the max of 125000000, and the camera works fine for MAX. It will grab images as much as I need. Then I save the camera, exit MAX, open MAX again, it shows my saved settings, I go to grab images and I get the error again. So I change the range to whatever number and it works again in the same session in MAX. 
    I did have a point grey Zebra2 working fine, and was using it in my LabVIEW program with IMAQdx to acquire images. When I try to use grasshopper3, LabVIEW returns an error of camera attribute out of range from the camera configuration VI. The VI's I am using to test the camera is just open camera, configure acquisition, start acquisition, get image, unconfigure acquisition, and close camera from IMAQdx. I did twice open MAX, change throughput, save camera, close MAX without grabbing an image, and then was able to acquire images in LabVIEW on the first run. Then I would run the VI again and it would return the error for camera attribute out of range. I have changed the packet size, resolution, and frame rate of the camera with out noticing a difference in the errors. 
    Since I am able to stream images from the camera in point greys fly capture, and in MAX after toggling the throughput setting, it leads me to believe there is some sort of MAX/LabVIEW error preventing me from capturing the images.
    Any ideas? Has anyone else had this issue with MAX and LV?

    It looks like Point Grey cameras have shown this error before based on out of date firmware. See this link for one such instance. I would monitor the camera file (*.icd) located in the IMAQdx data folder in Public Documents to see if the actual value is being overwritten after the camera configuration is saved in MAX. There is a chance that the GigE .XML file that is transferred from the camera is overwriting these values to the unacceptable value. See this link for a KB regarding this error, which leads me to believe this may be the issue.

  • NI MAX cannot see / looses network instrument

    There appears to be a bug with NI MAX where a network instrument which was previously configured suddently dissappears and when we attempt to re-establish the instrument, MAX claims that it cannot find the instrument.
    This was seen on 4 different stations, all sharing the similar behavior.  This was also seen at a completely different customer where the configuration was setup by a fourth person.  At client # 1 there are 4 stations.  They were setup by 3 different people using the same instructions.  Everything was fine on all 4 stations.  All of a sudden, the information dissappears from the network instrument list and it is not possible to re-configure the network instrument within MAX.  A similar behavior was reported by another client which is totally different than the first client.  NI MAX was configured by a different person than at client 1, possibly using different steps (although it is quite simple to setup a network device within NI MAX).
    NI MAX at client #1 are versions 5.40f0 and 14.0.0a2.
    NI MAX at client # 2 is version at least 14.0.0a2.
    If we copy an exported settings file from another station, the network devices are restored and it is possible to use the network instrument.  However, if you attempt to setup the instrument manually, because MAX cannot find it automatically, it is not possible to validate the instrument and complete the setup.  Even if you cheat and complete the setup, the PC will not communicate with the instrument via VISA.  However, it is possible to communicate with the instrument outside NI MAX.  The instrument is seen by the PC and does respond to ping requests.
    See image below.
    When trying to validate the instrument, NI MAX responds with the fact that it could not open a VISA session via TCPIP.  
    My first question is:  why does the instrument dissappear in the first place?
    Rebooting the PC did not help.  Basic troubleshooting did not resolve the issue.  This is not the first time I work with NI MAX and with network instruments; however, this is the first time I see them dissappear fromNI MAX.  
    I did not find anything while searching for posts for similar issues, so I do not know if anyone else has seen this.  I did encounter a similar description for a bug that was supposidly fixed in MAX 5.4
    Does anyone at NI have a clue at how to make NI MAX more solid with respect to network instruments?
    Thanks,

    Hello AK2DM,
    I was just north of you last week in Sedona.  Beautiful place.  Our next trip in your area will take us to Phoenix.  We'll have to get together.  
    There are no dependencies on any NI Services that I am aware of.  A customer just reported a similar issue at their Penang CM site.  They are now in a bit of a panic.  I did not work on the code at that site, but 3 sites, 2 customers reporting the same issue???  That's not a coincidence.  Something is wrong with MAX.  The only way to recover is to import the configuration file within NI MAX.  It was impossible to simply scan for the instrument to get MAX to communicate with the instrument, although the PC, that has NI MAX installed, is able to ping the instrument.
    I may have seen a similar issue a few years ago with another client where we kept loosing the network communication, but gave up and switched to GPIB.  At the time, we thought the network switches were causing issues and blamed it on the network.  Today, I may think otherwise...  I do not know what to investigate to verify why this is occurring.  Strangely enough, these systems ran for a year before we started seeing the symptoms.  I thought windoze upgrades was turned off...  It may be related to some recent upgrade, because we only started seeing these unusual behaviors since November (?).   I can't remember exactly when we first saw it. Late fall / early winter??
    It is strange that you started seeing an odd behavior around the same time.  Running windoze, right?  I never liked windoze...  Everyone should move to Linux/Unix/Solaris.  LOL!  

  • How do I reinstall Lion if I get a new hard drive?  My mac came with Leopard and I cannot find my upgrade disk for Snow Leopard

    My MacBook Pro originally came with Leopard.  I have the OS and Applications disks for Leopard but I cannot find my upgrade disk for Snow Leopard.  I would like to perform a clean install of Lion on the new hard drive and restore some data from my Time Machine backup.  I am not looking to restore the current image to my new hard drive.  I have not yet removed the exisiting hard drive nor have I wiped my data.

    The only way to do that is to buy a New SL Retail DVD. Or you could buy the Lion Install USB thumb drive from Apple for $69.
    You must have SL installed to then install Lion or have a thumb drive with the Lion installer.
    You could also create a Lion USB Recovery thumb drive using Lion Disk Assistant. But you need to have Lion already installed and the Lion RecoveryHD Partition on your drive to make the Recovery thumb drive.

  • I downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    i downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
    If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
    If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.

  • Custom batch rename files with Aperture 3 in the following format: IMG_0023.cr2 to Smith_YYMMDD_0023.cr2?  I cannot find a way to structure the date in Aperture as such, as well as extract only the camera file

    Please advise how to custom batch rename files with Aperture 3 in the following format: IMG_0023.cr2 to Smith_120816_0023.cr2?  I cannot find a way to structure the date in Aperture as such (YYMMDD), as well as extract only the camera file (0023, for example).  Adobe Bridge CS5 can do this, but NONE of the Adobe software is retina optimized, and is terrible to look at.

    In Aperture you are limited to renaming files by the entries in the File Naming preset window.
    At what point are you looking to rename, import or export? It might be possible to do what you are looking to do external to Aperture either via a script or other software.

  • Cannot find Camera Raw in my PSE 11

    Trying to start with Camera Raw but cannot find the plug in. If I open any of my images with open command all are JPEG. My Camera is Canon powerShot s110.
    thanks

    You could try the CS6 download and then rename the plug-in before installing it manually. Right-click on the following link and choose “Save Target As”
    When the download completes double click on setup.zip and on the menu click Extract all files, then click the Extract button.
    Go to the folder payloads and then go to the folder
    AdobeCameraRaw7.0All-291112104530 and finally go to the folder
      Inside Assets1_1.zip extract all files (as above) then find the file 1003
    Renamed the file 1003 as Camera Raw.8bi 
    On Windows 64 bit go to the File Formats folder and drag Camera Raw.8bi into that folder.
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats
    N.B before starting ensure the File Formats folder does not have an existing 8bi file. If it does; delete it.
