How to identify a GigE camera by IP address

I have a system with 8 Basler Ace GigE cameras, all on static IP addresses on the same subnet.  I would like to be able to exchange any device with a new one that is configured to the same IP and my LabView RT running on an Exchange virtual server program automatically starts using the new camera.  The LabVIEW program already sets the settings in the camera, if I don't want the user to have to use MAX for any configuration of the camera.  I want to just the user to use the Basler IP configuration tool and the tool of Basler to focus the camera, then having my program discover the camera by its IP address.

However, I have not found an IMAQdx tool that allows me to distinguish the cameras by its IP address.  The discovering Ethernet cameras VI has an address entry, but it is only a mask and cannot me narrowly find just a single camera on an IP address.  I have not found any camera property or an attribute that returns the IP address.

So, if I have a bunch of cameras and want to identify who is who, by his IP address, how can I do?

Hi Ken,

The main identifier imaqdx uses to track/locate cameras is serial number, which is identical to its MAC address for GigE Vision cameras in IMAQdx. Unfortunately us don't really use IP address as any kind of ID to connect with a specific camera, because we assume that the IP address can be dynamic and flexible (makes it spec GigE Vision DHCP and link-local addressing a requirement standard and everything is designed to allow these cases to work well).

That said, there is an attribute called 'CameraInformation::IPAddress' that you can query to see the IP address of the camera. The only downside is we do not currently provide this information via the Enumerate mechanism - you first need to query this property of the device. Your application might first browse the cameras and do a mapping of serial to IP addresses?

Hope this helps,

Eric

  • External triggering of GigE camera

    Hi, I'm planning on using the camera triggers the entry to start capturing images but I'm not sure what I need to do in my c# application when a trigger has launched.

    -If the trigger is coming from the PLC, should I also send a trigger signal to the PC and keep the active trigger signal until the PC is the acquisition of the image?

    -Do I still need use the snap or enter functions in imaqdx to get the picture?

    -If the camera is connected directly to the external NETWORK card triggering she still great benefits? The camera in less than 5 meters from the PC.

    Thank you

    Hi riscoh,

    When you work with a GigE camera you are not anything on the computer triggering its self, only the camera.  When it is configured to trigger it will sit and wait for a trigger.  When he received the signal it will take an acquisition and send the information to the computer.  When you set up your support on the computer it is searched for images and brings them into the computer as they become available.  The example I'm pointing you will show you how to set up the camera by a trigger program.  It looks like it may be available only in Visual C.  As far as the documents relate to article after the release with a GigE camera Developer area described briefly.  Acquisition of cameras GigE Vision with Vision Acquisition Software-part II

  • GigE camera - image grab bars

    Hello world

    I use or acquisition of vision to capture images of a GigE camera.

    I get images just as I trigger the camera - rates so so good.

    All other photos shows a few black bars.

    Anyone have any idea what it could be?

    It is not the hardware, the camera works perfectly with the shape of the manufacturer's software development kit.

    Thanks for any help

    Looks like an incomplete picture, this could be caused by the missing packets.  To prevent missing packets when the acquisition, you can do two main things: the size of the packets configured on the camera may not exceed what the network card can manage and ensure that the bandwidth of the output of the camera image data do not saturate interface band bandwidth.  I would reduce the packet size of camera for 1500 initially to determine if the size of the package is the cause of the problem.  You can throttle how much data that the camera can send by manipulating the interpacket delay, some manufacturers have a very handy feature called StreamBytesPerSecond.  According to what mechanism, you can use, increase interpacket delay or reduce StreamBytesPerSecond.

  • Acquire GigE camera data using labview CIN or DLL to call.

    I am tring to acquire data from a basler runner line CCD camera (GigE).

    Because the NI Vision Development Module is not free, and the camera provide a C++ API and C and also some examples, so I plan on using the function CIN or call DLLS in labview to achieve. Is this possible?

    I tried to generate a DLL with the example of the company code of the camera. But encounter difficulties;

    I did that a little background in C++, but not familiar with it. The C++ Code example provides the camera is a C++ (a source Code file) and a .cproj file, it depends on other files, the camera API directory.

    If I build the project directly, it will create an application window, not in a DLL. I don't know how to convert a DLL project, given that other information such as dependence in the .cproj file, other than source code.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Don't forget that for the acquisition of a GigE camera, you must only Module of Acquisition of Vision, not the entire Vision Development Module. Acquisition of vision is much lower price and also delivered free with hardware NI Vision current (for example a card PCIe - 8231 GigE Vision of purchase). You need only Vision Development Module if you then want to use pre-made image processing duties. If you are just display, save images to disk, or image processing using your own code (for example to manipulate the pixels of the image in a table) you can do so with just Vision Acquisition.

    It is certainly possible to call DLL functions if LabVIEW by using a node called library, it would be quite a lot of work unless you are very familiar with C/C++. Since their driver interface is C++, you need to create wrapper functions in C in a DLL that you write. Depending on how much you want to expose functions, this could be a bit of work.

  • How to identify my laptop model?

    Hello.

    I recently bought a used laptop, Toshiba Satellite A10. Now I wonder, how to identify the model number? The sticker on it says

    Model PSA10E-00KWY-SW
    (The "SW" is probably because she's Swedish. The zeros are perhaps o)

    But when I look for stuff on this site and fill out the model number, mine is not there to choose! There is that numbers like A100-xxx. And maybe, sometimes, numbers like PSA10X, with X being a different letter that e.

    There is also a serial number, it is 73612675G. It is a Celeron 2 GHz, 256 MB RAM, tft 14 "and 30 GB hard drive.

    There, can someone help me find a useful model number?

  • Connection to CVS GigE camera via a network switch

    It is a fundamental and very simple question!

    I intend to connect two GigE cameras to NI CVS-1458RT for an application of Imaging. When I tested the configuration in MAX, I realized that I can connect the cameras directly to the PoE ports, or alternatively, connect the cameras directly to the network switch and in both cases, connect the CVS to my network via its ethernet port. I was wondering if there is a benefit by connecting directly the VCA cameras, if I do not anticipate supply their Poe or if my switch has PoE Betacam.

    Thank you

    Usually, you always want your cameras on dedicated lines, or at least only sharing bandwidth with other devices. The mechanism of transport used by GigE Vision isn't really sharing good bandwidth with other devices. If you only share the bandwidth on a link given with other devices, you can throttle each take only a percentage of the total bandwidth. If you have devices without camera on the link, they don't usually have a mechanism to control the gap inter-frame limitation insofar as GigE vision made which would be necessary for properly sharing the bandwidth without remove the packages of bandwidth.

    If you end up sharing one of the ports for the operation and configuration of the CVS on the network, you will be at the risk of losing image data packets whenever the rest of the traffic is sent. Although there are mechanisms in place to return data, these add latency and jitter to your purchase.

  • VB6 with GigE cameras?

    I use Vision Devlopment Module 8.5 with VB6.   I wrote a lot of code using activeX controls for cameras, firewire 1394.   Are there for GigE cameras VB6 activeX controls?  If so, can you put link here for examples.  Thank you

    Hi Dan,.

    IMAQdx documentation indicates that it has supported inherited from MSVB6. Your device should work with these examples as long as it meets the standards GigE or correct DCAM to work with IMAQdx, because it's always using our IMAQdx drivers.

    I'm not sure the support ActiveX specifically for GigE cameras, but once that you have connected to your camera with IMAQdx in VB6, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use the functions you used before. I suggest that you try to change your existing code to connect you with your GigE camera and test the functionality of your ActiveX code.

    Thank you
