Dear NI Technical Support Team,
We have some technical questions regarding our FLIR-X8581HS-SLS camera and its filter-wheel control.
Currently, i use LabVIEW Imaq module to control the FLIR Camera, realize the rotate the filter wheel. but, there is a problem.
Specifically, we often need the filter wheel to rotate by +-90° to switch to the next/last filter. However, it constantly rotates an additional round (360 degrees) before reaching the desired destination, which significantly slows down our data acquisition. We notice that if we let it rotate by 180° (switching to the next-next filter) or more, the camera can approach the position directly. We feel this may be related to the auto-filter-recognition process.
We want to know how to have the filter wheel move directly to the destination for more efficient data acquisition. We would appreciate it if you could explain to us the filter wheel's behavior and how to avoid additional rotation.
i also quote the FLIR technology suppport team, the engineeri suggest me to use GenICam to control the FLIR Camera. he does not have the experience for control the FLIR Camera by LabVIEW.
i want to know how to use LabVIEW to call the GenlCam.
Because i think the GenlCam is a Camera protocol，including GigE、CameraLink、1394....., not a SDK or subfuction can be directly call by LabVIEW.
Thank you for your time and assistance. We look forward to your response.
