Hello together,
my problem is nearly 3 months old. Unfortunately without a solution (NI Forum and NI support).
I would like summarise:
I want control the Vieworks camera with a LabVIEW program. That means I must control the camera attributes. NI support told me: I can control only the camera attributes, which I can see in the MAX. In the MAX I see only 4 attributes (data bit, exposure time, analog gain, analog offset). But the VieWorks camera has much more (e.g. AOI, Binning). NI support told me again: You have to generate a new *.icd file with the NI Camera file Generator and add the other attributes. This new *.icd file must be loaded in MAX and the new attributes should appear. If the attributes in MAX, then You can use the attributes in a LabView program with the Attributes SubVI’s.
I generated a new *.icd file with the new attributes (e.g. AOI, Binning). I can see this attributes in the MAX, but this attributes (AOI, Binning, Channel) doesn’t work. I think I use the wrong commands, but what are the right commands (see NI_CFG.png)? Maybe this is the problem. The commands are in the VieWorks manual. Does anybody have experience with the commands / code?
Do you mean I should open a new post? Maybe the user doesn’t read this post, because the post is too old.

Not true. I can see expose time in MAX. but I can NOT set the value I want. I must set expose time to 300us. MAX won't let me.
Did you try the my VI ? I posted yesterday.

Hi Zoe,
yes I tried your VI. But this is unfortunately not what I want. I want control the camera attributes. I attached a VI to control the exposure time. It works on my computer (PCI1433, VieWorks camera).
If you use your VI, the MAX doesn't have a connection to the camera. Maybe this is the reason, that you can't set the value.

My VI works ok for setting the exposure time of the camera.
It bypass MAX. MAX does have a connection with the camera. MAX has an unwanted minimum limit way biger than 300us.
Anyway, my project is done. Shipped. 🙂

Congratulations
My problem isn't solved.
But now I try to programming (in LabVIEW) the available attributes. Maybe I get a solution during the programming.
