Crosspost: Has anyone used a Redlake camera with LabView/Imaq?

"I can't seem to find any drivers or utilities for the Redlake camera i'm using in my project.
Only this: http://www.imagemill-tech.com/Redlake/ Fr_Redlake.htm
But there's no info on how to get that VI (I've e-mailed them, of course).
Any additional information on using the camera with LabView/Imaq would be much appereciated"

I just find the section out for you about remote control of your
camera:
1.7.1 Remote Control.
Redlake Imaging also supplies the Serial1 program that enables a
computer to control the
MotionScope system from a remote location through the serial port.
Refer to Manual Addendum
9400-0014 for detai
ls of the Serial1 program and how to control the
MotionScope system from a
remote computer using a standard communications program.
So you need to find the serial command (for RS232) in manual addendum
9400-0014. I couldn't find it in website maybe I did not search
throughly, but you may have it if you own the camera. And these
commands are just for controlling the camera system, not grabbing the
image, so you may need a frame grabber to get the image into your
computer and do the further processing.

It looks like the Redlake VIs from ImageMill allow you to write serial commands to your camera. In LabVIEW, you should be able to write your own serial commands using the Serial Read/Write examples that ship with LabVIEW.
I'm curios exactly which Redlake digital camera you have. Redlake cameras are often found under the names Roper (their parent company) or Kodak. I suggest going to www.ni.com/cameras to see if there is a camera file written for your specific camera. If not, please go to www.ni.com/ask to contact an applications engineer.

Issues when using a Pixelink camera with LabView 9.0

In my lab, we have a program for video acquisition using LabView and the low level camera functions for Pixelink cameras. We run into some problems trying to run this program and other demo gui programs that came with the Pixelink SDK. In our data acquisition program, we have problems with our image coming out all scrambled. We use the low level functions to obtain a frame from the camera in the from of a vector. We then reshape the vector into an array and then send the array to a vi that turns it into an image. When we try to view this image using the standard Labview image viewer, the image comes out all scrambled if the zoom factor is not set to .5 on the image viewer. The full resolution of the image is supposed to be a 1024x1280 image which when we use the Capture OEM software for the camera provided by Pixelink we can see. The image that we can see through LabView when we have the correct zoom factor seems to be only the top left quarter of what the entire image is supposed to be. We also encounter strange problems when we attempt to use the demo programs for labview 8.6 that are provided with the SDK. When trying to run the simpleGUI.vi, for example, the program connects to the camera just fine. After you hit play to view an image, the problems start. The program will play the video for a few seconds until it just freezes up and quits responding. Labview must be exited and restarted in order for the camera to connect again. I am not sure if it makes a difference that we are running labview 9.0 on our computers or not. Any help you have on these issues would be of great help. Attached are pictures of the scrambled/unscrambled image and of the part of our block diagram for camera control.

IMAQdx is the driver that National Instruments provides to interface Firewire, GigE and USB cameras (Directshow compliant USB). This is a licensed driver, so if you don't currently have it, then testing in MAX is not an option.
So if I understand correctly, you have the Pixelink software which works fine, but you have Pixelink VI's that are used in LabVIEW, but those do not work correctly? That to me seems like a driver issue, which I'm not sure how much I can help with since it is not our driver.
Do you know what dll's the Pixel link VIs are calling into? Are they Pixelink dlls? If so, I would suggest speaking with the manufacturer or perhaps on of our other users has worked with Pixelink before.
Sorry I can't be much more helpful.

Camera with labview

hello
i want to use a usb camera with labview
i searched in the forum and i found many discusions about IMAQ driver fro usb camera
i have dowloaded many of the VIs and every time when i open the VI in labview it skes me to load a sub vis that i dont have and not included in the VI ai donwload
so how can i use this camera fro home monitoring system with labview ?>
i have opened the camera from MAX and its working very good .

Hi Everyone
Is it possible to acquire images from a web video-cam with Labview/Imaq.
which is connected via USB port ?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Dogan (how do I get that g correct?)
I think you are using a non-english (or some other languages) OS?
If so have a look at this thread

Go to Solution.

Hi Jam.Hall
I am somewhat hesitant to say you will be able to use this camera with LabVIEW. It all depends on what functionality you are wanting to utilise on the camera, and how much video you want to analyze.
- If you want to use the wireless functionality, I am concered that the on board web server will compress and embed the video stream. I do not beleive this is something we can access in LabVIEW.
- If you wish to use the ethernet connection, if it is Gigabit Ethernet, then you should be able to use our IMAQ for GigE driver to bring in the feed, but looking at the specs for the camera, I'm not sure that this is an option.
- My other suggestion might be to utilise the record video stream function that the camera has. Depending on the format of the video file, you may be able to read in the recorded file and analyse it in LabVIEW.
If you could explain the purpose of your application, and what you would like to achieve with the system, there may be more suitable products that you can use.
Kind regards,

How can I use a USB camera with cRIO 9022. Please see my strange problem.

Hi,
I would like to use a USB camera with NI cRIO 9022. I used the same USB camera with NI USB 6216 DAQ device and developed a VI(within a PROJECT and outside it). So, It is working fine with NI USB 6216 device when I use the Vision Assistant Express VI and gets detected in its Initialization Window. Please see JPEG File 3 where I get NO ERROR.
I am facing a problem when I want to use it with NI cRIO 9022. What exactly I am doing in this case is:
1) Create a NEW PROJECT
2) Add Targets and Devices(NI cRIO 9022)
3) Use the Scan Interface mode
4) Create a NEW VI under the cRIO 9022 device
5) Use a Timed Loop(Synchronized with Scan Engine) for continuous Data Acquisition and Sending from the Analog I/O modules.
6) Use the Vision Assistant available through the NI Vision Acquisition 2010 Module(I get STUCK HERE! The Express VI opens the Initialization Window, but I don't see the USB camera like in JPEG File 3)
I am facing difficulties with this HOST COMPUTER, cRIO implementation differences. On my host computer I have the software packages as shown in JPEG File 1, and on my cRIO 9022 as shown in JPEG File 2.
Can someone guide me how to overcome this and get the USB camera detected when I am using NI cRIO 9022?
NOTE: If this is a problem with software mismatches on HOST and NI cRIO 9022 device, please see JPEG Files 1 and 2 for available software and Host and cRIO 9022.
Thanks.
Amar.

Controlling Hamamatsu Camera with LabVIEW

I am using a Hamamatsu 1394 ORCA-ERA Camera in order to save microscope images on a PC. Im my lab, we are attempting to automate the process of saving an image from this microscope, and coordinate the time of the image capture with a function performed with LabVIEW.
As the 1394 name implies, this camera is connected to our PC using a firewire port. Is it possible to control the function of this camera with LabVIEW through a firewire port? What additional LabVIEW libraries would I need in order to perform this task, if any? Finally, is it possible to use LabVIEW to control a program called micro-manager that we currently use to save images? I know the Hamamatsu API supports both programs, but I am not sure if cross-communication between them is supported.
Thank you for reading, any response is greatly appreciated.

You say the API supports LabVIEW. Does it have any example code for you to start with? Typically driver sets include examples to make it easier to work with their API.
If it works with that API, I'd see if you can get that to work with taking the images without using the second program. You can typically use something like system exec on a Windows machine to run programs. I'm not sure of anything that works similarly for a Mac. Does micro-manager have an API you can use to make calls to it?

I want to use the sound card with LabView

Hi. Who can help me, I want to use the sound card with LabView, I have found the function but I can't use it. Thanks.

Christi,
In LabVIEW 6.1 I found some examples they use those sound VIs. They are located in \examples\sound folder. Those examples should give you a good overview how to use the VIs.
Hope this helps

Using a Document Camera with Meeting

Anyone using a Document Camera with Application sharing with
a breeze meeting. I know the camera part won't work well. But some
companies have software and USB connection to the CPU. Thought then
you could use Application Sharing to show the users.

Hi John
you can browse the images and video with the image capture application. connect and turn on the camera before launching the application. you can then choose which to import. one other thing, does your camera show up as a removable drive? if it does, open it up as you would a folder.

Is it possible to use an IrDA protocol with LabVIEW 8.2.1 in DSP BlackFin?

Dears,
I'm building a project to communicate a DSP BlackFin 533 with a Palm E2 Tungsten between IrDA Protocol. The packaged LabVIEW installed in Palm allows to use IrDA protocol, but I don't know if the packaged for BlackFin DSP allows or not.
Is it possible to use an IrDA protocol with LabVIEW 8.2.1 in DSP BlackFin?
