Vende Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 How it is with Pixelink A622? This camera is not compatible with Labview, but I have found some information about Pixelink own software called SDK that is able to create communication files for labview. Does anybody have some experience with this? Now the pixelink website is not accessable. Quote Link to comment

Does anybody have some experience with this? Now the pixelink website is not accessable. Pixelink SDK contains LabVIEW drivers. The learning curve is steep if you want to customize but once you get it, I found it efficient. (I used it with A742) The driver comes with a grabber program that you can use almost out of the box.

Is there any easier way how to use Pixelink A622 in labview, without SDK and for free? Quote Link to comment

It's a firewire camera, isn't it? You can use IMAQdx. It's all LabVIEW, but I wouldn't call it "free"... Quote Link to comment

You are right, it was the first thing I have tried, but I can not find this camera in MAX so I asked about possibility to use it in Labview and its compatibility. How to continue in this case?

Change the settings in MAX and you'll be able to detect it. Quote Link to comment

So does if I understand you well, it means I can not see this camera in MAX Interfaces and Devices and after change yes. How to do this change? I have not foud any possibility of drivers' change, only when a device is detected. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

In my experience, I always saw the pixelink cameras in MAX, I just needed to change drivers. Have you installed IMAQ? I'm not sure you can see the cameras in MAX without IMAQ installed.

Well you usually get what you pay for. So you want free and easy, if possible without any work from you? And of course bug free and perfect too?

I'm not sure you can see the cameras in MAX without IMAQ installed. I'm pretty sure you can't see it without at least NI-IMAQdx and the Firewire support installed (which is all part of the license required Vision Acquisition Software). So no it is not free, but yes I would call it very easy. Rolf Kalbermatter Quote Link to comment

Rolf Kalbermatter I ment for free = without any additional payment for individual camera drivers or developement tools, so without Pixelink SDK. I have NI-IMAQdx installed and I use an other camera via Firewire, no problem. But Pixelink camera A622 I can not really see! But I can see it in Windows Control pannel, in hardware overview.

I have my cameras connected to a PXI-RT chassis, so I can't walk you through the exact steps, but thats what I have done in the past. Neville. Quote Link to comment

Vende Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I need somebody's help to finish it. I would like to use imaqdx drivers wit pixelink camera (as I was said), but when I want to change it in windows, I cannot find them on harddrive. V.
