GigE cameras

[Perlin]

   Hi, I'm having some troubles managing 4 cameras, two are firewire and two are GigE. I have no problems running my program with HIGHLIGHT EXECUTION, but if I run it in a continuously way the next error appears: 0XBFF69002 "Invalid Parameter" and no image is displayed with one of the GigE camera. This only occurs with one of the GigE Camera, the other ones, work perfectly.

   Anybody can help me, I will appreciate your time...

   Regards...

Please say a little more about the camera models in use, set to what modes and parameter settings, etc., for context?

Also, does the GigE camera in question run ok just under NI MAX viewer, independent of your code?

Hi Perlin,

We need to know, as you were tell, a little more info about the camera that is failing, as well as as much information about the error as possible.

Also, another thing thata happens sometime, is that if your VI is running properly with Highlight execution, the problem you might have could be a timing error.

Also if you upload the VI we could take a look to see if it is some software error!!

   Ok, sorry about the brief explanation. The cameras I have connected is a DALSA cam (GigE), a Marlin cam (FireWire), a Guppy cam (FireWire) and a JAI cam (GigE). I can see every camera in the MAX, the one I have problems is the DALSA cam. But, just as I was describe it, if I run my program with highlight execution, my program works, in a slowly way, but it works, if I run it in a continuosly way, the program sends me that error...

   I don't have the file right here, I could upload on Monday 13th, but the program flows is as follows: 1st I check the number of cameras connected, I create folders for every camera connected, and then, I start the while loop where I open a session cam, then configure, then take a snap and save it into its folder and then I close session. I make a sweepping between all connected cameras. The program ends when an error occurs or when I press STOP button.

   It's very simple, as you can see, but I have this problem. The configuration of the cameras were adjusted, the frame speed in DALSA is 150 fps, in the other ones is faster (near 8000), the snaps are from 1024 x 780 and every camera has its own configuration about the type of the snap (RGB 32, or Grayscale) as I need it...

   Thank you for your time... 😃

   Hi, here I come again, here is my program... 😃 I still having the same problem... As I explain in the last message, with Highlight execution everything seems to be fine, about the timeout error, the firewire is turned off, I've checked the NIC, I don't have any jumbo frames, so my maximum packet size is 1500.

   I hope you could help me... 😃
