QUOTE (Neville D @ May 7 2009, 05:40 PM) Thank you for the reply, I was trying to get familiar with the CVS through projects, and use the firewire port of the CVS to capture a .avi movie, and save it on the hard disk. If I cannot use the camera if it is connected to the CVS (and run a vi from the computer), then you have answered my question. (I am still new and trying to learn how to use the CVS and C-Rio for future project). However if you can help me on the next issue, I will appreciate it: How can I (through the LAN) get a boolean output from the the CVS and triggier a Digital out port on the the C-RIO? I have tried using a global variable and run the vi's on the each devices, without any result. I have attached the project and saved the vi in Labview 8.2 version. http://lavag.org/old_files/post-15606-1241722358.zip'>Download File:post-15606-1241722358.zip Karin

I am currently working on Laview 8.6 along with the computer vision system (CVS) and C-RIO. I am able to upload program onto the CVS and acquire images. However, I am trying to run a program from my pc using the camera that is connected to the CVS. If I connect the camera directly to the pc, the vi runs smoothly. Once the camera is connected to the CVS, and I run rhe program on the computer, I get an error specifying that the camera is not found. The problem is in specifying the camera name. How do I tell Labview to search for the camera connected to the CVS? For simplicity, I am using the imaq grab.vi found in the labview examples. CVS and computer are connected through a network hub (each have its own ip address). Thanks, Karin
