How to control exposure time of a FLIR camera

[Antoine Chalons]

Which camera model are we talking about?

I believe the recent ones are GigE & GenICam compliant so the set attribute vi from IMAQdx with the correct attribute name (to be found in the camera user manual) should do the job.

I'm curious about the FLIR cameras. I've not had a chance to use them in an application, but they have always intrigued me. If you get your problem resolved (and I think Antoine gave some great advice) can you elaborate a little on the camera and perhaps the application?

pre-2010 I used one on a project (it was a firewire camera at the time), it was to check the temperature of a incandescent object. nothing too fancy.

Also FLIR acquired Point Grey from Canada a couple years ago, so now they have a lot of monochrome and color industrial area scan cameras similar to what Basler offers. When I work with them (USB3, monochrome models), I use a property node to set the active attribute. Then, you can read the max and min values and make sure your new value is within range before trying to set it.
