IMAQdx and Mightex USB Camera

Hello

I cannot get my Mightex USB device to work with Labview 2010 and IMAQdx.  Previously, I installed the DirectShow drivers and has been using Labview 8.5 with the IMAQ for package USB and everything worked fine.  Now I try to operate the camera with Labview 2010, however any execution of the sample programs, such as Grab.vi in Labview 2010, IMAQdx throws an unidentified error.  To help out, I tried to see if I could operate the device using the measurement and Automation Explorer version 5.0.0f1.  The list of the ' devices OR-IMAQdx "fills with two entries:
-cam1: filter Mightex_BufferSource
Mightex - CCD camera: Mightex_BufferCCDSource filter
When I click on one of these to try to access the camera, I get the following error: "Error 0x8007007E the quadrant beetle number is not valid" which returns 0 results in google!

I contacted Mightex. Don't use Labview 2010, they believe their DirectShow drivers are very good, and I know that they are installed correctly, because everything works with IMAQ for USB in Labview 8.5.

Can anyone offer any suggestions or clues as to where would be the problem?  Should their drivers be updated specially for IMAQdx, or if the drivers of DirectShow who worked with IMAQ for USB will do work with IMAQdx?

Thanks for your help!

OK nevermind, I'm a fool.  A mod can delete this thread, or maybe let upward if you think it might be useful to someone someday.

I had changed the name of the folder where the drivers and the software on my local computer after installing everything and that's what all went wrong.  I reinstalled the drivers of DirectShow and now everything works fine.

  • Cannot use the NOR-IMAQdx with 3 USB camera driver

    I have a system WIN7 64-bit I would use with two USB 3 Vision cameras (both are 24UJ003 from The Imaging Source DFK), which works very well with the software IC software. The camera can be opened with IC software but will be visible only with a cadence of 1fps, any size I put it.

    I can open them able and Automation Explorer, but they do not appear under NOR-IMAQdx in the tree.  When I click on the software in MAX tree below, NOR-IMAQdx revealed as being installed (14.5). The camera (and OR) instructions say change the camera driver to that found in C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\NI - IMAQdx\Staging\NI USB3 Vision, but my driver is located in C:\Program Files (x 86) \National Instruments\NI - IMAQdx\Staging\NI USB3 Vision.

    Attempts to install the driver displays the following message is displayed:

    "The folder you specified contains a compatible software driver for your device.  If the folder contains a driver, make sure that it is designed to work with Windows for x 64 systems".

    This makes it sound like the driver is in the wrong place or it does not for a 64 bit OS.  Any advice on how to switch them TIS drivers to drivers OR-IMAQdx and also how increase the pace of the second camera would be very much appreciated.

    I tried to connect the cameras individually, and they both have the same performance as when they are connected together (we have good pace, and the other has only 1 fps).

    Are you sure that the camera is Vision compatible USB3? Nothing that I do not see in the marketing material says it is compatible. Is it possible you need a firmware update to make it compatible?

    The installer put IMAQdx driver in the space provided for an x 64 system and he always puts the number of correct bits of the driver down to the system that you have installed. My hunch is that the camera is not to expose a USB3 Vision interface for the driver to bind.

  • usb cameras to sbRIO interface

    Hello

    We have a humanoid robot which has engines Dynamixel actuators for the movement of the hand and the usb camera high definition to the eyes. I want to build a control in real time of the robot to mimic the movements of the hand of a human being. For this I use sbRIO 9633 which has a processor FPGA and real-time. My first task is to get the images of the eyes in the sbRIO usb cameras do image processing and extract the skeletal details. My questions are the following

    b are there already existing drivers for usb cameras that can be installed in sbRIO to get images or streaming video?

    (b) someone wrote drivers for depth as XBOX Kinect for any target integrated measuring devices (I've found for Windows)?

    (b) if the usb port can be controlled through FPGA or is the USB interfaced directly with processor in real-time?

    (c) any acquisition images using sbRIO help to control in real time is appreciated.

    I use USB cameras with labview 2013, and I can acquire images in the MAX and in the Acquisition of mink (express) settings, but when I run the VI, always appear the same error as shown in the Image below.

    -J' checked the correct versions of my software, IMAQ, IMAQdx, VDM 2013 IMAQ of e/s

    -J' I also make sure I had all the updated device drivers.

    -I'm using IMAQdx LKD schema and examples, getting the same error uu

    Help, please!

    Any suggestions would be very helpful.

    If it works in the pop up app Express VI and inside MAX (the two 32-bit applications), then I guess it will work in 32-bit LabVIEW. We wonder why it does not work in 64-bit LabVIEW, but these are the drivers of the device and other pieces of infrastructure/DirectShow Windows.

  • IMAQdx change adquiring fps with USB camera

    Hello

    Im working with Labview to process images taken with a USB camera. I would like to know how to change the terms of adquiring of the camera, in particular the frequency of frames per second (fps), video mode and resolution. I need to change these settings in real-time, while the program is running.

    Thank you.

    Hello again!

    I still have not found one camera where the pace was not changeable. Perhaps you need to change the video mode.

    I created some clips for you to play with (attached). Drag and drop the images in a chart vi copy the code (you may need to save images to disk first).

    How can I take pictures with a regular usb camera and labwindows

    Hello

    What do you mean "ordinary USB camera? It's a Vision camera with a communication based on the API Vision camera or a 3rd party (such as a webcam)?

    In the latter case, you may need to consult the documentation of the manufacturer, it should be sent with her library (C DLL, ActiveX automation, .NET assembly) with functions to communicate with drivers.

  • Improve the resolution of Image of USB camera in LabVIEW

    Hello:

    I am currently working on taking images in LabVIEW using a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 USB camera. I have attached the simple VI that I use. For some reason, LabVIEW is no longer able to take a picture of resolution 640 x 480 with this device. However, its capabilities are well beyond that. According to me, it can reach a resolution of image fixed of 1920 x 1080. How can I get LabVIEW to snap a picture at 1920 x 1080 with this device? I have attached a jpg of the VI.

    Thank you in advance,

    Brad

    Brad,

    IMAQdx functions will not displayed either because you have not installed IMAQdx or they are not allowed. Both come on the setup of the Acquisition of the Vision, but are separate elements that can be enabled/disabled during installation. If you use the Vision Development Module, you should have a license to activate the IMAQdx as well. Check with the License Manager AND verify that it is authorized.

    You'll really like using IMAQdx much better than IMAQ USB functions. There are many more features supported and it is fully supported in all software OR, as measurement and Automation Explorer. You can configure your camera inside MAX settings and then save and use them in LabVIEW automatically.

  • Differences IMAQdx and MAX

    I have a Flir thermal T420 USB camera that is capable of DirectShow.  I installed the Vision Acquisition software and got IMAQ and IMAQdx libraries.  When I use examples of LabVIEW or LabWindows\CVI IMAQdx, I am able to get the video camera, but only in black and white.  It doesn't matter if I configure the CreateImage for RGB.

    MAX has works exactly as it should.  I get a color video camera, when I set the MAX in video mode = '320 x 240 7.50fpgs YUY2.  No where is IMAQdx I see no function which accepts a parameter like this.

    So, what is the difference between MAX and IMAQdx?  I can't IMAQdx to do the same thing as fact MAX.

    Paul

    Sorry, that is not in camera mode, but the video mode. My mistake.

    @BlueCheese - I agree that MAX savings is an option too, but if you want to use the same application on multiple computers, you will need to repeat the process several times. If you use a property node, the code is more portable (it is also simple to install). Is this good?

    Best regards

    K

    Well, Yes, it is somewhat true. To deploy on multiple systems you would need to copy the camera (CIM) files that store your settings, or use the camera file to/from the variants of the string (in the LLB) to dynamically load the string constant camera file. Vision Acquisition Express VI made in-house camera file settings are stored inside your VI.

    One could certainly say that the path is more portable. Often, the camera settings are different from system to system (different cameras, different lighting, different purpose, the different device firmware) as seen the settings are configured via MAX and the program leaving them as-is ends up being much simpler to find what settings must be changed dynamically by the application (and for which the values). Often a combination of the two approaches is good.

  • Connection of the USB camera - OR-IMAQ for USB cameras installation problems

    see you soon

    Hello

    You first need to make sure that the USB camera is DirectShow compatible.  If it is not it will not work with the software of our vision. You must use the drivers IMAQdx (which requires a license) to acquire from a USB webcam.  Once you have installed the drivers IMAQdx (Vision Acquisition Software) and drivers that come with the webcam is installed, you should be able to see it able & Automation Explorer (MAX).  Once you can see it in MAX you can use it like any other device in LabVIEW.

  • Size of capture USB camera

    I have the camera USB 'chat' with a resolution of 640 x 480, but IMAQdxSnap or IMAQStartAquasition.vi enter 1280 x 960 pixel of the image. How to change the size of the bucket to the native size.

    I have LV and Vision 2010

    I am using 2009, but it should work for you.

    Open Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) and select your USB camera under: devices and Interfaces-> NOR-IMAQdx devices.

    Select the attributes of the Acquisition.

    Select the video Mode you want (640 x 480) in the menu dropdown.

    Click Save at the top of the window.

    Now, run your application.

  • 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!

  • Mark an object in real time on a displayed video acquired of a USB camera

    Hello

    I'm a beginner LabView user company acquired a project in which I need to see the video from a USB camera in LabView on computer screen. In the video, there will be a piece of metal, which is always a fixed position at the bottom left of the view. I need to mark a sign like arrow on the metal part, please take a look at the attached picture. In order to recognize the easier metal part in the photo, I drew a line of blue on the edge of the part, while the arrow was green. The arrow must point radially towards the center of the blue line (but the blue line may not need to be created) and must be there whenever I start the VI, throughout the video.

    How to view the video? Is it possible to create the arrow in LabView (either programmatically or manually mapping arrow)? If it is impossible to make the arrow, is it possible to simply mark a cross in the center of the blue line? The blue line doesn't have to be on the video.

    I have 2010 LabView with Vision Development Module. My camera are in the outlying NI-IMAQdx able and Automation Explorer section.

  • 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

    Ankit G

    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)
