I am currently trying to use a geovision card with 4 cameras on a dedicated DVR PC. I would like to send TCP/IP commands to it from my labview PC that has my GUI using the SDK provided by geovision. I've been trolling through the active X classes for invoke nodes. My task is simple to state but I have not figured out how to even start the communicaitons yet. I would like to be able to assign a storage location for the videos captured by the cameras and I would like to be able to remotely start and stop the recordings. We have designed and build a test facility for a large aircraft part. the control and data acquisition systems are labview and I have completed most of it. this last bit of integrating the cameras has been difficult. The way it should work is an operator sits in front of the labview PC and launches my GUI. he'll enter the part number of the UUT and the serial number. I want to use that data to create a directory and file name on the DVR computer and then start the video recording at the same time I start the data log and automatic test sequence. I have not found anything useful in the SDK manual. it is designed to help programmers integrate video streaming into their software. I can't find any help for my task. I don't have any need to stream the video. If there are examples out there, I would love to find them.
