Videre Stereo Camera and Labview

Hello! I work with a group that is attempting to use Labview to control a Videre digital stereo camera system. We are not having much luck. Does anyone in the forum have experience working with these together (hopefully good experience...)? Thanks!

Have a look at the following:
Why Can I Not See All of My IMAQdx Camera's Attributes in Measurement & Automation Explorer
Get Attributes in IMAQdx vs. IMAQ for IEEE 1394
IMAQdx Error -1074360305 Attribute Not Supported by the Camera
You might also want to update the firmware on the camera by contacting Videre's customer support.

Digital camera and LabVIEW

Has anyone ever controlled a canon digital camera from LabVIEW? I am using a Canon EOS Kiss REBEL 300D.
I tried using the software from the following link (http://www.hytekautomation.com/Downloads.html) , but the "take a picture" button was disabled.
I did download the SDK from canon but am not sure if LabVIEW can handle some of the data types to pass to the DLLs.
Here is one example of a function
cdCAPI RCOpenSource ( cdSourceInfo* pSourceInfo, cdHSource* pSource )
where cdSourceInfo is defined as:
typedef struct{
cdSourceType SurceType; // Type of the device
cdUInt32 rsrvd; // Reserved
cdStr63 Name; // Device model name
//(Invalid if cdSRC_TYPE_HOST)
#ifndef macintosh
cdStr63 NameInOS; // Device model name in OS
#endif
cdPortType PortType; // Port type
cdPortDescripUnion u; // Union of I/O port descriptor
} cdSourceInfo;
Thanks for any help.

If you use Windows, easiest way to access external code is .NET
interface. Is there a .NET interface for the Canon camera? If there is,
use it.
If there is no .NET interface and you have problems calling the SDK DLL directly,
It's quite easy to write a .NET interface (wrapper) for C++ code (if
the SDK is written according to C++ standards and works with Visual Studio .NET). Check MSDN to find out how to write managed extension (.NET wrappers) on existing C++ code. There is a simple example
of such a wrapper for an existing C++ class. If you have existing C++
methods, just write a class that has similar methods that upon call
call these SDK methods.
After having written the wrapper, build it (having the managed
extension turned on!) and you can access the class from .NET interface
of labview directly. If the data types cause problems, you can try to
transform the data types in the wrapper methods.
Something like the following may work:
# include "SDK_includes_here.h"
# include "SDK_includes_here.h"
# include "SDK_includes_here.h"
// You need a class for your method.
// If you have many methods, you can add them to the same class
__gc class CanonClass
public:
// constructor
CanonClass() { }
// destructor
~CanonClass() { }
// method
cdCAPI MyMethod( cdSourceInfo* pSourceInfo, cdHSource* pSource )
return RCOpenSource ( cdSourceInfo* pSourceInfo, cdHSource* pSource );

USB web cam and labview (IMAQ)

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
Andreas

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
Good luck,

Camera Vision Loop Snap will be 1% right and left inverse in Vision2013 and Labview 2013.

Hello,
I use a Camera to Loop Capture Vision Snap in Vision2013 and Labview 2013.
(see the right-up picture that is the needle in the right side, but the right-down picture it is in the left side.)
The right-up picture that is the current snap image shows normally.
The right-down picture is after en-queued and de-queued image.
But the image will be 1 % Randenly Chance to show right and left inverse.
Could someone tell me how to solve the problem?
Thanks.

Run-time engine problem in Labview 2009 and Labview 2010

I have a problem with Labview 2009 and Labview 2010. I updated my Labview 2009 into 2010. But it turned out to be a trial one, because i did not have the serial number. So I uninstalled the Labview 2010. however, the funny stuff came over. I cannot use my Labview 2009. So i uninstalled Labview 2009 again. But eventually, I could not reinstall Labview 2009. Every time i had a runtime error and i could not proceed with the installation. in addition, any installation related to Labview is not permitted and the same error came up every time. it is very annoying.
So, What is the deal?
I attached the error here. Any comments or advice are welcomed and appreciated.

By chance is this machine's language set to any non-English locale? You would check the locale setting by:
Opening Control Panel.
Opening "Regional and Language Options".
Looking Under "Regional Options" >> "Standards and Formats"
If it is set to something besides English, trying setting it to English and please report back what locale it was set to (or if this even solves the problem).

How to acquire data through multiple channels in parallel using PXI 6070 E, PXI 4071 and LabVIEW?

Hi,
I am using NI LabVIEW, NI PXI 4071, and NI PXI 6070E to measure current through a variable resistance. Now, I am using one channel from SCB-68, but I want to add another channel in parallel so that I can have two resistors instead of one that I cam measure current through them.
I have attached a Pdf file showing the setup for hardware in use and LabVIEW code also.
Can anyone look at these files and give me guide lines or ideas that can help me resolving this issue, please.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Shaheen.

Your 4071 can only do one measurement at a time. Your DAQ cannot measure resistance either nor has it got any analogue inputs.
However, you could use a multiplexer and multiplex your 4071 DMM. This wont give you simultaneous measurements but can acquire data one after the other, the speed is obviously dependent on the multiplexer you choose!
Hope this helps.

How to implement a dual booting PXI system using windows 7 and labview RT

Good Day
My name is Mariano Ocana from the University of Manitoba, and I want to implement a dual system using windows 7 and labview RT in a PXIe-1082 chassis with a PXIe-8102 embedded controlled (the chassis came with windows 7 installed). What are the steps to use both systems (windows and RT) in the same chassis?, in the NI help comes an example implementing a dual system using windows xp and RT, it is the same procedure?.
Thank you in advance for all your help.
Regards
M. Ocana

Greetings, Mariano.
The real issue you have to contend with is whether or not you have a LabVIEW RT license. If the 8102 controller was purchased Windows-Only, you likely do not have a license to run LabVIEW RT on the controller - you can purchase one, I think it's about $500, and at that point you can request a LabVIEW RT Configuration CD (that's not what it's called, but the sales guy will know what I'm talking about). The Config CD is a CD that will partition your controller correctly with both FAT32 and NTFS filesystems (in the appropriate way) to allow you to run Windows 7 and LabVIEW Real-Time on the controller correctly. Once done, you can then switch within the BIOS between LabVIEW Real-Time and Windows in order to dual-boot.
Either way, you likely need to contact NI sales to either purchase an RT license (if one was not received at the time of purchase) or to request a Configuration CD (it might also be called a dual-boot install CD or similar).

Output Video File to 'Microsoft DV Camera And VCR' DV driver

I've just submitted this:
I would like to request that the facility be made available to output the one video file allowed on the session timeline to the 'Microsoft DV Camera And VCR' DV driver for display on a TV monitor via appropriate hardware. Please make this option in addition to the ability to display the video content on a PC monitor, i.e. the four permutations that would be available:
1) No display of video on PC Monitor or TV Monitor;
2) Display of video on PC Monitor but not on TV Monitor;
3) No display of video on PC Monitor but display on TV monitor;
4) Display of video on both PC Monitor and TV Monitor.
Dedicating a TV monitor to display the video will help to free-up PC monitor real estate for the display of other information or controls.

Hello Ryclark.
I know what you're talking about but, as far as I understand, no, it's a different thing.
A Microsoft DV Camera and VCR device could be an internal hardware card, an external IEEE 1394 connected piece of hardware such as a Canopus ADVC 110 (http://www.canopus.com/products/videoconversion.php), or a camcorder. An appropriate piece of software can access these devices via the Microsoft DV Camera and VCR device DV driver and either capture DV streams (video and audio) to the computer's hard disk (an ability that is not appropriate for Adobe Audition), or output DV streams (such as a DV file that's on an Audition session timeline) to the device. In the case of the ADVC 110, it has composite and s-video outputs for connection to, say, a video projector or TV monitor.
I find it far better to check sound against a picture that's being displayed on its intended output device i.e. interlaced video content on a TV monitor in order to assess how my soundtrack works with the picture.
When I submitted the feature request I asked only for video output and didn't specify any audio output requirements. This was because I had completely overlooked the audio side of the DV stream. I'd be happy with the output being the original DV file audio, the reasons being a) I wouldn't listen to it anyway, I'd listen to the soundtrack I'd created over the audio monitor system, and b) it stands more chance of being implemented if the request is kept simple. I could ask for the ability to route any bus or track to the audio part of the DV stream, but that would just increase the complexity of the coding. Other than the audio being in sync with the video, I'm not sure how useful that'd be anyway. If I remember correctly, a DV audio stream can be either 48kHz 16-bit stereo or 32kHz 12-bit four channel. Far better to monitor the mix from the PC's multichannel audio outputs.
I realize that there would be latency between the video displayed via a Microsoft DV Camera and VCR device and the audio played through the PC's sound card but hey, we're used to adjusting latency, aren't we?
Regards,
Steve.

How to Process a picture from a Camera to Labview

I want to try and get a picture processed through Labview from a camera. For example I want to take a picture of a cup on a table and process it through Labview so that I can write a program for a robotic arm to pick up the cup from the table. I would like someone to advice me on how to process the picture from the camera and display it on Labview. Are there any examples in Labview, or the internet that can help put me in the right direction?

I would recommend starting small and have clear objectives in mind. For example clearly define what you want your robot to do. Do you want it to pick up "a" cup or anything that looks like a cup. Things like learning algorithms, image processing, IMAQ, 3D motion control all come to mind. These are subjects outside the scope of Labview but may be required in addition to understanding how to program your task in Labview. There are dozens of examples in Labview on these subjects. Take the task one step at a time and move from there. It may also be helpful in the forum to give people an idea of your background. If you are new to Labview this may be a very hard first program.

Digital camera and MBP

I just bought a new Canon Powershot S3 IS digital camera.
I haven't used it yet, just opened the box.
It comes with a CD, "Digital Camera Solutions" that they say
you need to install in order to be able to download pictures from camera to the computer.
My question is this: do I really need this program?
Or can iPhoto take care of downloading my pictures?
I don't really want to install something that I don't need.

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.

DAQmx : How to Trigger camera and AOTF

Dear,
I have a camera sCMOS and an AOTF that i want to trigger.
I have attached the description of the camera acquisition sequence.
I want to sent a digital pulse (only one pulse because I want to acquire one picture only) to the camera via the EXT/SW Trigger input of the camera and get the FIRE output of the camera which will trigger the AO lines connected to the AOTF. I have a NI PCI 6733 with 8 AO and 8 Digital line
I am very new in DAQmx and I do not know how to proceed. Please help me. The best should be, if it is not to much, to send the correponding vi to me.
Thanks by advance

Hi Mnemo15,
Thank you for posting on NI's forum
Which model is your camera and how is it linked to your computeur ?
I think you can use daqmx example with Software Triggering (in the help menu of LabVIEW).
You can set a digital pulse and use it as a trigger to acquire a picture (by wiring this pulse to the daqmx triggering vi).
Then when you got your picture, you can start your AOTF by using the Fire output signal of your camera as a trigger.
I hope I understood each step of what you want to do.
