Simultaneously trigger and display two camera images with two frame grabbers

When I try to simultaneously trigger and display two camera images, each with their own frame grabbers, Labview is only able to display one of the images at a time.
My hardware:
Two Sony XC-EU50 cameras (not in sync with each other)
NI-1410
NI-1405
My Software:
Windows XP and Labview 7.1 with IMAQ
I connect each camera to its own frame grabber.  Both frame grabbers are in the same computer.  I input a trigger into each frame grabber.  Both trigger signals are identical.  Trigger rate is only 0.2 Hz. 
I want to display and save both images at the same time.  The program i put together only displays one image at a time.  The image that is displayed alternates from one camera to the other.
Please help with any suggestions.
Thanks.

Hi Shahab.
Without having triggered two cameras connected to two NI boards with LabVIEW yet: This shouldn't be a limitation in LabVIEW.
Updating two Image Display Indicators in one run of a while loop definitely works properly, so this cannot be the reason for the problem.
Your code uses the IMAQ Snap.vi. This VI is not reentrant, so the both instances of this VI on your block diagram cannot execute at the same time.
I could not find an appropriate example matching your scenario exactly. (Maybe someone else knows better?)
I recommend to have a look at the examples in the "IMAQ Signal IO.llb" and do some copy and paste to get a VI that satisfies your requirements.
The "Grab with two boards.VI" illustrates how to acquire images without using the not-reentrant "IMAQ Snap.VI".
Hope this helps, Guenter
P.S.: Do you know NI's Vision Forum? http://forums.ni.com/ni/board?board.id=200

    Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
    Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
    Make sure SD DVD is selected:
    (If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
    Build your DVD and you'll be fine.

    P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

    I have camera EOS30 with two lenses: EF28-80mm 3.5-5.6II and EF 75-300mm 4-5.6III. I want to buy a digital camera to use these two lenses.
    Which digital DSL to choose?
    Thank you very much.

    They are both EF mount so they fit all of Canon's current DSLR's but they are at best mid grade lenses which won't do justice to a high end body. You'd be better off thinking of a current body & lens package.

  • Can 2 teachers share an ipod touch and put apps on it with two itune accounts

    Can 2 teachers share an ipod touch and put apps on it with two itune accounts?

    Sure.  No problem.
    Be aware that ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them.  Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password.  Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.
    Minor nuisance if you choose to update apps from inside the computer's iTunes.  If you're logged into the "wrong" account, it's necessary to log out/in to do the update.  It's easier if you update from the iPod itself.  No need to log out/in but you do need to know the password for the ID.

    Expanding on what The Fiend said, the license to play music from a CD is tied to and stays with the CD. So if you sell or give away the CDs, the license to play the music goes with them, at which point you legally no longer have the right to the tracks. You need to keep the CDs if you want to keep the music.
    As for transferring the tracks from your iPhone back to your computer so you don't have to re-import all your CDs, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:

  • How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses

    I will be greatful if you could answer me this question...
    How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses?
    I know that you can use two credit cards to pay an item but the problem is that i can only put the billing address of just one of the credit cards, and since the two cards are from different people (my parents) i can't do it. They live in the same place so i don't know if i should just put one of the billing address.
    Thank you.
    PS. I don't know if this is the right community to ask this, sorry if i'm wrong.

    On the Apple Store "Payment & Pricing" page it states:
    Using more than one payment card
    You can also combine payment methods to pay for your purchase. Choose from the following combinations of credit cards and Apple Gift Cards:
    Credit card(s) - up to two
    Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight
    Apple Gift Card(s) + one credit card
    During checkout, if you are paying with a gift card issued by a credit card company, you can combine it with one credit card.

  • I have two Ipods andwant t oset up two Itune accounts with two different libraries

    I have two Ipods and want to set up two Itune accounts with two different libraries.  Can this be done?

    You can, but switching iTunes libraries and store accounts is generally more hassle than it is worth. You can sync each device with selected purchases and if you have more than one iOS device disable the option to Automatically include new apps, then apps purchased on one device won't automatically load onto the other.

  • I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection?

    I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection and remove all the other stuff?

    Very easily. I have an iPod touch and iPad on the same account with totally different content.
    If you use iTunes, connect each iPad to your computer and open iTunes and deselect any automatic updating/syncing. If you don't sync with iTunes but have them set up independently, under the settings, App Store, turn off automatic downloads for apps, etc.
    I'm old fashioned, I set up and sync my iPad and iPod to my computer and iTunes. Each device has a different name  and I manage content manually and only allow sharing on what I want shared.

  • Problems acquiring and saving multiple camera images using a switch with GigE cameras

    Hi Folks,
    We are having an issue with connecting 6 GigE cameras via an Ethernet switch. We can acquire and store individual cameras but once we increase the number of cameras we end up with jumpy avi files.
    Each camera has been physically labelled and attached to the switch, so camera 1 is attached to port 1, which then corresponds to Cam1 in MAX. When recording multiple files what appears to happen is that the avi file from cam1 actually has images from multiple cameras, as if cam1 is being renamed/allocated on each frmae and each time a different camera is allocated. How can we fix this?
    We are new to this so any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Cathy

    I think your problem is caused by using the same image name on each instance of Imaq create. "Grab and Save to AVI Acq" being the string you are using. I am pretty sure If you make each image name unique you wont get image referance problems.
