caleyjag Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hi all, My first plea for help from this forum. First of many, I expect. So, I've managed to get the drivers configured so that my Pike camera works well under LabVIEW. It is a CCD camera and I want to control the vertical size of the image to be read off the chip. Unfortunately, MAX/LabVIEW does not support this feature for this particular camera. However, the feature can apparently controlled by writing a command to the camera directly. After deciphering the manual, I came up with the code below, using IMAQdx. The code reads the current image size, then modifies the vertical image sampling size by a user-defined factor, before writing that value back to the camera. The address is correct and a secondary reading of the values from the camera shows they have been changed. HOWEVER When I try and grab an image, it is always at full size, no matter what I try to set the camera to. Am I missing a step? Is there something else I need to do when writing commands to a camera like this? Quote Link to comment
crelf Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I'd give AVT a call on 877-USA-1394 (see what they did there? ) - the staff are very knowledgable. As an aside, I'm personally a big fan of AVT cameras - we almost exclusively use them on our projects: http://goavt.com/ Quote Link to comment
