Cohu Camera Active X SDK Programming

[NI_1424]

Does anyone have any experience programming a COHU 3930HD ethernet camera using their Active X SDK?  I have installed the active X Automation supplied with the camera but I have been unable to connect to the camera. 

Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave,

I'm not familiar with using ActiveX to interface with this camera, but I did find an article going into some detail about the whole process of interfacing LabVIEW with ActiveX.  Hopefully this is of some use to you while you work with ActiveX in LabVIEW.

Hi Dave,

When you install any SDK of the third party instruments. You have to link that SDK with your labview.

To link SDK you used automation Refnum(Front panel>Modern>Automation Refnum).

Now you have to select ActiveX Class. So you browse your automation refnum and select the installed SDK.

By using the property and method nodes you can access that SDK.

Thanks and Regards

Dave I have attached one VI. In this VI I am accessing my office camera(COHU) using ActiveX control of  webcam without using SDK.

You have to select default windows web activex class object.

 

You can directly access the camera. But to use full features you have to connect with SDK only.

Thanks and Regards
