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 camera

Is it possible use a Sony DCR-TRV33 Digital camcorder (new product) with Labview and IMAQ driver?

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.

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.

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!

"Insufficient resources for this video mode" error in IMAQ for IEEE-1394 1.1

I'm using 3 Sony DFW-X700 cameras (1024x768 YUV 4:2:2) and 1 Sony XCD-X700 (1024x768 8-bit mono) connected to 2 IEEE-1394 adapter cards (3 ports each). I'm running LV 6.1 on WinXP Pro PT.
I've tried several acquisition modes, and the only one that works fine is 'continuous acquisition', using 1 buffer per camera. The problem is that I can only setup 2 color cameras and 1 mono camera. If I try to setup 3 color cameras, I get an 'insufficient resources for this video mode' error. I would like to know if it's possible to configure more memory for the acquisition buffers under IEEE-1394 so that I can avoid this error.

Habil,
You might want to try to lower the frame rate of the cameras. This error is caused because the driver is able to allocate only part of the firewire bandwidth for your image acquisition, and a three camera color acquisition requires a huge amount of bandwidth. This is currently an issue that our R&D department worked this period and is going to be resolved in the next release of the driver. This release should be ready in one month. Good luck!

Setting camera attributes with the PCI-1405

I have the PCI-1405 Imaq card. I was wondering how I set camera attributes like gain and exposure time. Every time I try to use the set camera attribute VI I get an error message saying the attribute is not valid.

khsay--
      Installing the driver will allow the framegrabber (1405) to communicate with the computer. I want to verify that you are using Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) to test the sanp/grab features of your camera. This will allow you to directly interact with the hardware.
If you are, and this is where you are getting the extract image error. First double-check that you know what kind of communication standard the camera uses (for instance, CCIR or RS170) and make sure that this is selected in MAX.
      The camera might not be using a known standard, in which case you will need a camera file that tells the computer and framegrabber how to interpret the camera's information and signal. You can look in MAX and see if the camera is listed, if it is the camera file is If not, you can try going to www.ni.com/camera and see if you can get a camera file there. If not you will need to try contacting the manufacturer to see if they have one, and if not you will need to create one using the camera file generator from the ni.com/camera.
     Just let us know if this information helped to solve the issue and if not reply back so that we can help. Also, in the future if you have a new issue you might consider posting in a new thread.

IMAQ AND IEEE 1394 problem

When I use IMAQ vi's to acquire and process an image from a 1409 board and a standard ntsc camera ,my IMAQ vi's for IMAQ Clamp Horizontal MAX and IMAQ Find Vertical Edge work fine and display the overlay information properly using IMAQ WindDraw. When i run the same application using the setup and acquire vi's for IEEE 1394 and a firewire camera , when i show overlay information from the Edge detection tools ,the overlays are never refreshed , meaning the IMAQ WindDraw output window Image contains every overlay , it never overwrites the others with the current overlay. The screen becomes filled with the overlay information and cannot be cleared out. Why is this ? How to work around this ? The show search line can also be turned on and shown in
the window ,but when you turn them off ,they also stay onscreen. This behavior is not that way when I use the framegrabber/ analog camera configuration.

It sounds like IMAQ for IEEE 1394 does not clear the overlay information when you reuse a buffer.
The simplest solution would be to use IMAQ Clear Overlay immediately after the image acquisition. This will remove any existing overlays that were left over from the previous image.

I too had the same vertical white line in the centre of the screen last night after having my iPhone 5 up and running for 10 days. I managed to turn it off by holding the buttons in and it came up with the iTunes screen....2 hours later it came good?

I was talking outside on my iPhone 5 in a fairly humid environment (The Pilbara in January, 2014) then when the call was finished I hung up (as I was walking back inside to the air-conditioning) this white vertical line appeared in the centre of the screen and wouldn't go away. I couldn't use it NOR could I accept calls. (I called my number from my other phone). I eventually managed to turn it off after removing the protective casing (Otter Box) and then it came up with the white cord / iTunes screen........I left it for a while...it turned back on BUT is still had a flickering screen.......I re-charged it and I have backed it up this morning (at work) on iTunes and it seems to be working 'fine.' All I can say is 'DO NOT GET RID OF YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY PHONE IF YOU HAVE ONE!' I haven't had an OUNCE of trouble with it and have owned it for at least 3 years. The iPhone has been up and 'running' since the 6th of January, 2014. This happened on the 15th of January, 2014.

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

How to export a PDF to a word document? at the moment it came up with "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing ????? what can I do? thanks

Hi frenchiem,
This is due to the PDF file cannot display the original fonts. To fix it, creator should create the PDF file with the embed font option enabled. Thus, user can open the file on any platform with the same layout. Or the Acrobat product can display them after you install the appropriate font support package on the client side.

My XP machine is unable to load iTunes 10.5.1. It gets about halfway loaded then says it can't find Bonjour.msi. However, that file is on the computer. I tried loading the Bonjour.msi from another computer but it came up with the same message.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

I have an MacBook Pro 10.6, using disk utility I tried to verify my disk, but it came up with the message, please use your start up disk, I tried this, starting the computer up and pressing C, but it ejected the disk, the same thing happened while I running the computer. Is the hard drive damaged as laptop doesn't seem to recognize the start up disk ? If so, I presume I will have to put in a new one.
There haven't been any problems with the computer, apart from a sticky curser,I have run a permissions programme from disk utility, there were a lot of different ones, but it seem to be able to fix them.
Any comments or ideas ?
Thank you in anticipation.

First backup your users files off the machine to a external storage drive (not TimeMachine!)
Most commonly used backup methods
Next to startup from the disk, have it inserted, hold c or option/alt (wired or built in keyboard) and then boot the computer and or select the disk when it appears and click the arrow.
Disk Utility is under the Utilities menu on the second screen.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
If you used the wrong 10.6 disk, it will spit it out or have issues, use the one that came with that machine or if it's defective, call Apple for a new one.

How to add Custom Attributes in the SOAP header for OWSM

Hi,
I like to know how to add the Custom Attributes in the SOAP header for OSWM username token authentication.
Currently we are getting the header element like
<wsse:Security xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">
here we need to add the attribute "soap:mustUnderstand="1" , so the element will look like
<wsse:Security soap:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">
Any info on this will be helpful.
Thanks,

Hi Jay, you can make it in more than 1 way.
I suggest you the following:
- create an URL iview that points to any URL you want.
- define a Resource that points to the iview (with a window name, to open in new window)
- define an Area that points to the resource
- add your new Area to the your current Area Group
Regards!

You need to buy PSE13. But you can continue with PSE9 if you download and install the free DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will work with yoir existing software(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8

AD user script to populate the IPPHONE attribute with the last 4 digits of the Telephonenumber attribute

Good Afternoon Scripting Guys. I have a script that I have been working with pretty much all day today and just cant quite get it to play nice. Our objective is to search AD for specific users (say filtering them out with a username that starts with a "T")
and User account is "Enabled" then grab the last four digits of their phone number (phone number is set up as follows: (800) 123 456 ) then populate the IPPHONE attribute with the last four digits of their phone number. I have read a ton of online
blogs with users successfully making this happen but it appears that they are all using Quest (as the commands are all Get-qaduser and Set-qaduser). I need something that runs strictly in native Active Directory Module PowerShell on a Windows Server 2008r2
Domain Controller. I am also trying to keep it as simple as possible by using a Get command, then piping a Set command. I have saved the script into a .ps1 file with the logic as follows:
$SelUsers = Get-ADUser -filter {(SamAccountName -like "t*")} -Properties ipphone,telephonenumber -searchbase "OU=Test Users,OU=Temporary Org,OU=Test_Domain Users,DC=mydomain,DC=com" | where {($_.enabled -eq $True)}
foreach ($user in $SelUsers)
{$user.ipphone = $user.telephonenumber(4,$User.telephonenumber.length-4)
set-aduser -instance $user}
What is happening is kind of funny, but aggravating at the same time. When we run the script, it completes with no errors. When I pull up the properties of a user in the OU, the IP Phone field is populated with the number 8. If the User
account did not have a telephone number, the IP Phone field is populated with a -4. So, apparently, the script is somehow subtracting the "-4" from the number of all of the Telephone Number field's characters. Basically 12-4 is 8.
If there is no telephone number, then 0-4 is -4. I have run the Get-ADUser portion of the script independently so I know its getting the correct users. I also know it is populating the IPPHONE attribute but not with the last 4 digits of the telephone
number. Can you guys help out and maybe get this to work correctly? Also, can you add logic to it to the script to delete any value in the IPPHONE field first, then replace it with the last 4 digits of the telephone.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!! Thanks Guys...
Lee

First thing I would do is modify your filtering. This will remove the unneeded piping to the Where-Object cmdlet and also allow us to only return users who already have something in the telephoneNumber field. It is possible this could return all of your
users, but if you have service accounts, etc. that do not have a telephoneNumber then they will not be included in your results. It's just a little cleaner.
$SelUsers = Get-ADUser -filter {(SamAccountName -like 't*' -and Enabled -eq $True -and TelephoneNumber -like '*')}
I suspect you may have a made a mistake when you entered what your phone numbers looks like. I assume that you forgot a final digit. If this is correct, and you have a space in the phone number between the three digits and the final four then you can use
the split method to grab the last four digits.
Foreach ($User in $SelUsers) {
$Number = $User.telephoneNumber.split(' ')[-1]
Set-ADUser -Identity $User -Replace @{ipPhone=$Number}
There's no reason to delete what's in the field first because that's part of what the -Replace parameter will do anyway. This should help get you started!

I have just just installed a new version of itunes. When i tried to run the new version it came up with the message "The file ituneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by newer version of itunes.
I installed the new version because itunes had not recognised my ipod nano 5G, and told me to reinstall. Itunes selected which version to install, so I don't understand what is going on. To add insult to injury it installed a pile of malware which I am still trying to get rid off.
Any advice would be helpful
