How to take snapshots of two usb camera at the same time

Hello

I have a project where I have to take still photos of two usb camera at the same time repeatedly and save the in a particular direcltory. I am received using a camera by using "Camera Grab vi", but I can't make it work with 2 cameras, I use the flat sequence and 2 "Camerra Grab vi: with particular camera in a sequence, but each time when I run the program I get only pic of a camera, its seems a camera dominates the other.»

Please is it possible to use the two camera simultaneously. Attached are the snapshot of my vi.

Thank you

Looks like you are using the same reference at the same time grabbing the camera. The two camera snaps happen but the second camera clamp is written on the first so it seems alone is slam. Try to run the VI executiong highlighted arbitrary mode (select icon icons four bulb to the right of the button run on the schema). This will allow you to see the data stream. In order to get both of these Snap you'll need separate references. You can try to watch one of our examples in the example Finder OR give you some direction (LabVIEW > help > find examples > Browse tab > Input and Output material > IMAQdx > high level > Snap.vi). You can break the two cameras at the same time if you just copy this code and double of the code.
(Note: If you change the examples, always save as copy in another location so that you do not save on the packed example)

  • MAX cannot find two usb cameras at the same time

    Hello

    I want to use two cameras usb (Thorlabs DCC 1545 M) in NOR-IMAQdx in Labview, but it cannot find a single camera (the one plugged earlier), and also a single camera is shown in MAX. Both cameras working in the manufacturer's software, and if I unplug the 1 unit, the 2nd will be displayed in MAX after a refresh.

    I found that one camera is supported for each USB hub in Labview, and all USB ports in this computer correspond to a same hub online. I don't know if this is causing the problem.

    In fact, I need to take the picture in both cameras at the same time, a switch programmed between the two cameras will work for me.

    Any suggestion and comment will be appreciated.

    Hello Hosni,

    According to this link, you can acquire from multiple USB cameras simultaneously.  The limitation is on the manufacturer and how they interface with the bus of DirectShow.  When you use two cameras of the same make and model, it sometimes happens that not enough information is not IMAQdx to distinguish between the two cameras.  When you switch to MAX cameras, they come as different cameras, or they appear actually virtually the same?

    Since you said switching between them might work, I found an example that does just that.  Just make sure you give a name to each camera single camera.  I hope this will be useful for you.

    In addition, there is a bit of discussion on this topic on the forum of discussion already.  Check out these related threads, or use the search box to search for more.  There is much information available!

  • How can I use Adobe and a camera at the same time?

    I am a musician and I put to read sheet music and record with the camera to the IPad. But whenever I left the window of the camera and switch to Adobe agani, the camera stop recording.

    I can't save IM reading the notes of music at Adobe.

    I use Air from the IPad.

    Nobody helps me?

    Thank you.

    Hi Edusax,

    It seems to be the limitation of the device because it doesn't have the split screen function to use two applications at the same time.

    You will need two devices else you can print the PDF to read sheet music.

  • Trigger two FPGA instances at the same time

    I have a basic FPGA code that transmits the bits of data on a serial (RS-485) bus, the code is written so that it expects in the first State of a machine to States in a single-cycle timed loop.  After a certain trigger, he begins to read a FIFO containing data and sends the data on a line of Tx.  It does this until all bits are send and then it goes back to the first State to wait for the next trigger.  The relaxation is necessary because windows must fill out first before the FPGA FIFO can start sending.

    I need two instances of this code runs, because I have two buses of com (one is redundant).  So I use the FPGA code as a Subvi and I wrote a main FPGA vi to call two separate instances of the Subvi in parallel.  A regular window vi wrote on the FIFO for bed FIFO for Rx and Tx.  No problems so far.

    The thing is I start two transmissions in 200nS of each other (Yes, nanoseconds).  Windows will write two FIFO in parallel, but the timing is 4uS apart, too long.  I tried implementing a Boolean flag in the Subvi FPGA, but windows can not write directly on the control of Subvi.  FPGA won't allow (the Write function is grayed out).  I tried to use a FIFO for a flag, but the problem is a race condition.  One of the instances is first read FIFO and he destroy.  The other can't read.  I need a common trigger point to be used by the two instances of Subvi.

    My final solution was to use a memory in the Subvi FPGA and digital control in the main FPGA vi.  Windows write in numerical order, it may because the control is in the main FPGA vi.  Inside the main FPGA, I run a timed loop that looks for digital to be zero.  If so, it writes the value into the location of the memory used by the Subvi FPGA.  After awhile, the principal wrote a zero back to memory to prevent the Subvi is restarted, as well as to write a zero for digital to reset.  This repeats, waiting for windows to write in digital again for the next transmission.

    I had to do it this way because sometimes I want to pass on the bus, and sometimes just one or the other.  Numeric values are used to determine which to pass on.  Now, the transmissions are starting to almost exactly at the same time, 1 or 2 nanoseconds apart.  But the trigger process seems very silly to me.  I was wondering if there is a better solution.  I'm pretty new to FPGA.

    tbob wrote:

    Basically, I did the same thing using FPGA memory.  Windows I am writing for a digital control that resides inside the main FPGA vi.  In the main FPGA, I write in the memory.  Inside the Subvi FPGA, I read the brief and decode the value to use either one or the other or both buses.  After fool with it for awhile, because reading Memeory needs to use a shift register (probably because it takes a whole cycle of clock), I had to work.  The two bus trigger at the same time.  I guess it's not really important if I use a FIFO or if I use the memory.  The main problem is that I write Windows at the hand of FPGA, then the hand of FPGA for the Subvi FPGA.  Then the time is right for what is the Subvi is.

    There are some advantages to the use of two FIFO on your approach.  First of all, you don't have the change of register for the memory location.  Secondly, we should not worry that VI is responsible for compensation to the memory location, or do, you run the risk that one of your subVIs run twice, or not at all, if the memory is not erased at the right time.  Perhaps most important, you'll save yourself space on the FPGA because you will not need arbitration - the additional code that is added when two parts of the FPGA try to access the same resource at the same time.  In your case, both instances of the Subvi access the memory block at the same time, so the FPGA compiler adds additional logic to avoid conflict.  If only read you the memory block in one place and just write it in one place (reading and writing can be different loops where subVIs) there is no need for arbitration.  Using two FIFOs, you can keep independent and avoid the conflict resolution code.  See the help for the "arbitration" for more details.

    What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.

    RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
    Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
    no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
    companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
    because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
    more seamlessly.

    Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
    what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
    original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
    your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
    attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
    also have a solid plan of external backup in place.

  • Insertion of records in two different tables at the same time?

    Hello everyone, I have question about inserting records in two different tables at the same time, I'm looking for is by the way a unique id, which is created in the first statement insert to the second insert statement. Example of this problem:

    < cfquery name = "addRecords1" datasource = 'test' >

    Insert Into Table1 (name, Date, age)

    Values (< cfqueryparam cfsqltype = "cf_sql_char" value = "#arguments.) "Name # ' >.

    < cfqueryparam cfsqltype = 'cf_sql_date' value = '#arguments. "Date # ' >.

    < cfqueryparam cfsqltype = "cf_sql_int" value = "#arguments. Age #"(>); "

    Select SCOPE_IDENTITY() as RecID;

    < / cfquery >

    < cfquery name = "addRecords2" datasource = 'test' >

    Insert into Table2(Company,City,Date,ID)

    Values (< cfqueryparam cfsqltype = "cf_sql_char" value = "#arguments.Company #" >,)

    < cfqueryparam cfsqltype = "cf_sql_char" value = "" #City # ">,"

    < cfqueryparam cfsqltype = 'cf_sql_date' value = "" #Date # ">,"

    ( < cfqueryparam cfsqltype = "cf_sql_int" value = "How to pass RecID to insert in this table?" >).

    < / cfquery >

    In this example, I'm inserting records in table 1 and creation of IDENTITY SCOPE as RecId. I would like to pass this id and insert it in my table 2. This Id, I'll use in my second table as an identifier. If anyone knows anything about this please let me know. Thank you.

  • What should I upgrade to be able to change the 10 cameras at the same time?

    I'm doing a video for live events and I must be able to modify the 10 cameras at a time.

    My system I've set up 2 years ago has a 3.4 ghz Ivy bridge i7, 32 GB of ram and a 2 GB video card. When I do multi camera changes in adobe first, I can only do 3 or 4 at a time with fluidity, using the camera multi monitor, but when I try 5 or more, it does not really play. The audio plays fine, but the video is just a frame every second couple.

    I tried mounting on an internal hard drive WD black, which is 7 200 rpm, but I found that I get the same results on a WD my book edition (which is a hard drive WD Green running to 5 400 rpm) via USB 3.0.

    What should I upgrade to be able to play all 10 cameras at the same time? A high-end video card? Which one? Do I need an esata raid configuration? Is what I ask to do even possible or not first even stand that?

    What version of first? The GPU acceleration is activated? You may need to apply a 'hack' at first, so that it actually uses the GTX 560 for the Mercury engine.

    Runs in 'Software only' mode, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro and search the text file called "cuda_supported_cards.txt".

    Rename or delete this file - without this list of cards "approved," to look at first will use ANY card that meets the minimum criteria.

    I do not use the Multicam feature myself, but as an experiment, I piled about 20 layers of AVCHD, using multiple PIPS on the entire screen, and he plays them back well. The GPU acceleration will help no doubt if that is not currently enabled

    There are many ways to achieve this. We can be to use the background image for the application. Other means may be to use various containers (Panel, canvas etc with background pictures) to get this look. Think of it in HTML view.
