NI Camera File for Hamamatsu c11440-10C

Hi,
I obtained recentlry new camera Hamamatsu C11440-10C (ORCA Flash 2.8) CMOS camera and tried to connect it to frame grabber NI pcie-1433 on 64 bit version of Windows 7. Unfortunately I was stacked when I checked the connectivity between them, since Camera File was not available for this camera yet. I found that NI Camera file generator could be used to generate camera file specific to C11440-10C, but I could not make it work due to the unavailability of the values for the parameters which needs to be filled.
I wonder if I could apply the camera file which was designed for the other cameras to C11440-10C as well. Ideally, I hope I can adjust the representative parameters such as frame rate, frame size (width, heigh in pixels), RTSI, binning, resolution in bits and acquisition grain.

Hello Mr.. Haizawa
Actually Camera file is better if being provided by the Camera makers, NI Camera File generator can be used to create a Camera file, according to the parameters provided. National Instruments,however,does not ensure the operation of the camera based on this camera file.
I hope this document will help.

Camera file for Bonito Camera color

Hi!
I have the new Bonito color camera and a NI PCIe-1433 Camera Link Frame Grabber Card.
I would like to know if someone already develop a camera file for this camera (http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/emea/products/cameras/camera-link/bonito.html)

Hi,
Thanks for posting on our forum. The link that you gave is not telling us what camera you would like to use. Perhaps you could use the following software,
http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/fr/nid/14207
Remind first to check that there is no file already created there:

Camera file for MC1362

Dear all,
I use a "Mikrotron MC1362 camera" under LabVIEW. The problem is that Mikrotron MC1362 camera is
not supported by National Instruments, i.e. no specific camra-file is offered by NI for this type of camera.
Consequentely, I have to modify the camera-file for MC1302 camera to make it compatible for the MC1362.
Could anybody let me know, how I can make this modification?
Thanks in Advance,
E.F

Dear new user 2500,
thank you for your post on our webforum. You can use the camera file generator NI Camera File generator . I came across two post where the camera file of the MC 1310 was used; first discussion , second discussion .
I hope this will help you further, best regards,

Camera file for Duncan Tech RH1100 mono

Hi.
I'm trying to acquire images from a Duncan Tech RH 1100 mono camera with a PCI 1428 board, but I have not the camera file. Does anyone have a camera file for the Duncan Tech RH1100 mono or Has anyone produced a suitable icd file that they'd be willing to share?
I've tried searching this forum, the NI camera file and the NI industrial camera advisor with no luck. I realize I can use NI's camera file generator to make one myself, but I don't have experience to know if I could generate an icd file that truly has all the features of the camera enabled for MAX and LV.
Thanks, Marisol

Hi Fraktur!!
I have been working with the camera RH1100, I got the camera manual and the DTControl-FG Ducncanthech’s software. The DTControl-FG can control of some camera operating parameters as gain for each imaging channel, exposure time, integration time, bit depth, etc.; all this functions are controlled by the serial port, according to the manual it’s possible acquire and archive images up to three remote imaging heads through frame grabber NI PCI-1428 only using the DTControl-FG software.
Knowing this I connected the camera control unit RH1100 both serial port and PCI-1428 frame grabber, then I install and start the DTControl-FG software. The software should be automatically detect the serial port to which the camera is connected and the frame grabber (NI PCI-1428) link but only detected me the serial port connection and displays an error message when it trying to detect the PCI-1428 (this message reads: “No Frame Grabber link Found” …… I attached you the screenshot). Due this I can’t acquire images and the software only let me configure certain camera output parameters… I changed the bit depth to 8 bits.
I tried to test the camera using MAX and the camera file that you sent me (but using this time 8 bitdepth) and I can get images but only one of the imaging head . I need using three heads.
Do You use DTControl-FG software to configure your camera?, Detects your framegrabber?, I think it's a communication problem between the software and the camera link but I do not know how to fix it. I have tried to install the DTControlFG in the same folder as the NI-IMAQ, in the National Instruments folder, in the file folder cameras, etc. I do not what else to do, any suggestions?

Hi there,
I have NI PCIe-1427 framegrabber.
I'm looking for camera file for Redlake MegaPlus ES 2020 (http://www.princetoninstruments.com/products/imcam/megaplus/).
In the MAX configuration tree Redlake ES 2020 is not present in the menu selection camera.
I tried to search camera file at ni.com/camera (National Instrument Industrial Camera Advisor) but it is not avaible.
Does anyone have this camera file?

Camera File for Pulnix TM-6710

I'm using Pulnix TM-6710 with NI PCI-1422.
I found camera file for TM-6710 from IMAQ folder.
But, I could not tell how to connect TM-6710 to PCI-1422. (There is no information at all in both NI and PULNIX).
Pls, let me know,
1. Pin connection btw. TM-6710 and PCI-1422
2. Camera file for TM-6710 lists upto "Line (7)".
What is the physical pin numbers for Line (0) thru Line (7) ?
3. The meaning of "Pattern", "Action (PG)", and "Line"
in camera file.
4. The meaning of "100, 3000" in "Line (7) { Start (High) 100, 3000 } "
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Attached is the pinout for the Pulnix TM-6710.
The Pattern, Action, and Line commands are used to control the pattern generation of the 1422 and should be transparent to the user. The NI-IMAQ driver level software uses these commands.
The numbers you are referencing in question four are used to set a minimum period for the overall pattern generation cycle and should also be transparent to the user.

PCIe-1429 camera files for work with Basler spL4096-70km line camera

Hi, please help with configuring my frame grabber.
Can I find camera files for PCIe-1429, working with Basler spL4096-70km line camera ?
now generating it with NI Camera File Generator, but when checking image with MAX -
getting error if configuring with 4096 pixels,
no error if with 2048, but! I want to get the full resolution (camera
has 2 segments of 2048 pixels, 12 bit pixel depth).
Settings snip attached - please help - what is wrong? (I'm new here )

Hi Bruce,
This is Amitai from National Instruments Israel,
Allow me to enter this conversation.
Since you have a similar camera and working, I will be happy to get advises from you in order to help Sveta.
I have contacted Sveta today, and used remote desktop connection to try your suggestion and others.
We have used the Basler Vision Technologies spL4096-70km camera file -
http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/nipc.product?pid=11075&asid=1102
and we have changed the "InterfaceInfo" manualy in the text file, and reciceved the error : #0xBFF60056 Requested attribute is invalid.
We then followed this KB - http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9757373FEE86D64B862573CA004FD752?OpenDocument
and edited the "Supported Image Acquisition Devices" to PCIe-1429.
See cameraSettings.jpg file attached.
You can also see in the file, that the "PCIe-1429 Full configuration Camera Link" is grayed out.
I am wondering why ... is it because this is the only frame grabber that is connected to the PC ? or is it because there is some issue with this frame grabber and this camera attributes ?
Following your advise earlier in the post, we chose the "2 tap interlaced vertically" Orientation.
We had success when setting smaller Acquisition windows (for example 800x1024 or 512x2 see jpeg attachments) and when we tried to reach the camera attributes 4096x2 (http://www.baslerweb.com/products/sprint.html?model=253) we got an acquisition timeout notification.
see time-out.jpg attached.
The NI-PCI-1433/5 has a 850 MB/s of bandwidth while the NI-PCIe-1429 has a 680 MB/s of bandwidth.
Sampling 2x4096 (which is the camera attribute that Sveta is trying to achieve) at 12-bit per pixel and with 55 fps equals 680MB/s.
Do you think the bandwidth difference can be the issue ?

Camera files for Basler spl4096 70km

Hello, need camera files for Basler spl4096 70km , find these : http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/nipc.product?pid=11075&asid=1102
but ! no my HW (NI PCIe-1429 and IMAQ (4.9) in compatibility list.
Which camera files can I use ?
(Windows7, Labview 13, NI PCIe 1429).

Have you tried using the camera file anyways? The framegrabber shouldn't make a difference, the camera file is just a way for the driver to know the attributes associated with the camera.

Best format to convert Ultra HD Flip Camera file for FCP editing?

We are using two types of cameras for a video project and one of them is a Flip Camera. Unfortunately, FCP doesn't play too nice with raw flip camera files so I need to convert said file using MPEG Streamclip. What is the best/recommended format to convert the movie file to for FCP editing?
Thanks!

From my experience, Pro Res 422 has been the most recommended for any conversion. Thanks!
Should I look for a specific audio compression option or should I just leave it as "uncompressed"?

Camera File (.icd) for Dalsa Piranha 4 (P4-CM-08K070)

Hi there
I am trying to use the Dalsa line-scan camera P4-CM-08K070-00-R together with the NI PCIe-1433 frame grabber in Labview.
Although there are lots of camera files for different Dalsa models (in the IMAQ driver collection and here on the NI site), I haven't found one for my camera.
I have tried to create one using the Camera File Generator, but without too much success.
Serial communication through Camera Link for reading & writing camera settings works well, but I can't get a signal.
When I use "Snap" in NI MAX or Labview, I just get a timeout.
Anybody here, who has experience with Dalsa cameras?
Thanks!
Sebastian

Hi uday
Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, it did not bring me much further.
- I am able to load my camera file in MAX, but that does obviously not mean that there aren't any problems.
- I didn't know that MAX can automatically generate camera files. Where do I find this option?
- Yes, I also know what a timeout in general is. I made sure that the camera runs internally triggered, so it should send data all the time without waiting for a trigger from the frame grabber.
As a matter of fact; I got two steps forward and one back, when I tried to find that automatic camera file generation in MAX.
For a couple of times I could receive the test pattern from the camera; now I only get the following error when I try to snap an image: "Serial terminal string not found ..."
(See also the attached screen shots - the MAX error message is in German, but it has basically the same contents as the one in CFGen)
I wish I could tell what exactly I have done...
I am confused, because
- I wasn't aware that the image data transfer involves serial communication.
- the serial communication for setting parameters works flawless, and I am sure that I have set up the correct termination character in the camera file.
Any idea what this error message means exactly?
regards, seb

Should I modify the camera file to change the greyscale resolution of my Photonfocus camera from 8 to 12 bits?

I have some difficulties to use my Photonfocus camera with 12 bits greyscale resolution.
I have a Photonfocus camera MV-D1024E-160-CL-12, a NI PCIe-1429 frame grabber, PFRemote 2.0 and Measurement & Automation Explorer 4.2.1.3001.
If I work with 8 bits greyscale resolution (PFRemote -> Data Output: Resolution : 8 bit) and look at the image with MAX (Système -> Périphériques et interfaces -> NI-IMAQ Devices -> img0: NI PCIe-1429 -> Channel 0: PhotonFocus MV-D1024-160 (file in attachment), everything is working.
Now I'd like to work with 12 bits and I don't know exactly what I have to change? I've tried to change only the resolution in PFRemote (PFRemote -> Data Output: Resolution : 12 bit) but then the image in MAX remains a 8 bit resolution. Then I've tried also to modify the camera file (file in attachment). I've put the "BitDepth" and the "BitsPerComponent" at 12 instead of 8 and the "BinaryThreshold" to (0,4095). But when trying to grab an image in MAX, an error occured: "Error 0xBFF600FE Le nombre de bits par pixel requis est invalide".
Should I really modify the camera file in order to grab 12 bits images? Or what should I do?
Thank you
Mélanie

PhotonFocus MV-D1024-160.txt ‏5 KB

Hi toto26,
Thank you very much for the information. I did exactly the same thing as you suggested for 8-bit, and I were able to change the resolution (number of pixels), exposure time, frame rate without any problem. I understand that I need to coordinate the MAX icd file and the settings of PFRemote.
When I tried to switch to 12-bit, I found that I need the camera file (.icd) for 12-bit. I tried the attached icd in the previous discussion (Photonfocus MV-D1024E-160-CL-12 12-bit 1429 X4 only.zip 2 KB). There was an IMAX Error: Error 0xBFF6002C, FIFO overflow caused acquisition to halt. Then I think maybe this camera file is not good for me because I have a PCIe-1427, instead of a PCIe-1429.
So, I downloaded the camera file generator (from the same link you suggested) to create my own camera file. When I run the generator, the first window popped out was for camera setting, and there was no Photonfocus in the choice for the Manufacturer. Is it true that I cannot create camera files for Photonfocus camera, or I simply don't know how to use the generator?
Thanks again for the help and I look forward to more advices.

Hasi

Camera File Generator Won't Run with MAX + PCIe-1433

Hi,
I am a camera developer and am trying to integrate a couple of new cameralink cameras with the PCIe-1433 NI frame grabber. I have installed NI MAX 14.0 and version 3.0.0 of the Camera File Generator.
I am trying to build a new Camera File for our companies cameras.
The NI MAX shows the NI PCIe-1433 device when it launches.
When I try to launch the Camera File Generator, it failis to load with the following message:
"You must have NI-IMAQ 4.6.0 or higher installed before running the NI Camera File Generator. NI-IMAQ 4.6.0 is installed with Vision Acquisition Software 2011."
The MAX configuration tree shows I have version 14.0 of the NI-IMAQ software available.
Is there any sort of developer's guide for creating a camera file to allow me to use my camera? I need to write some serial commands to the unit and thought tha tthe Camera File Generator would support this....
Thanks.
-Mike

Hi mawillia,
The latest version of the IMAQ drivers is version 4.9, and it would show up where you said, under the Software tab in NI MAX. Do you have this latest version installed? If you like, feel free to expand out your software tab and take a picture of it and post it here.
Also, you are correct that the serial commands can be set in the camera file. Here is a link to our support page for the Camera File Generator: http://sine.ni.com/psp/app/doc/p/id/psp-723/lang/en
Within it is a whole host of various KnowledgeBase articles. This one seems particularly helpful:
What framegrabber specifications do I need to know to create my camera file?: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9B89C9FA43A6973A86257A62004658D5
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any articles specific to coding the serial commands for your camera in the camera file. But I recommend opening up one of the bundled camera files (I'm looking at the Basler acA2000-340kc (Base).icd ) and within that, click the Camera Control tab. The serial commands for each attribute will show up on the right side, and you can use this as an example for creating yours.
Let me know if you have any further questions!
