How to configure the 'event control' parameters of camera using NI-IMAQdx

[VictoryNeal]

Hi,

I would like to edit 'Event Exposure End', 'Event Frame Start', but they are grey, which is not editable. What to do?

Turn "Event Notification" On ?

I think you have to do it for each value of "Event Selector" that you are interested in.

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply. I tried to turn on the notification, but the parameters are still not editable. This is my goal:

What do you expect to happen if you could configure anything here? Events are things that happen when a condition as indicated by the name of the event occurs. That means however that:

1) there needs to be some action that could cause such an event. This part could happen in the MAX viewer when you start an image Grab

2) there needs to be some code that can be triggered by the according event. This needs to be done in a program. That program needs to setup a task (here an image acquisition) and then register an event handler for the event in question and this event handler needs to be implemented by you.

If you could export and share your camera attributes using the attached VI, it would help a lot:

My camera is acA2040-90umNIR - Basler ace,

I cannot run the vi because my LabVIEW is too old.

Thanks for your reply, Rolf.

My goal is to make the camera's exposure time correspond to my strobe illumination lights. More specifically, when the camera is receiving images (exposure state), I need to make the illumination lights on, so there is light going into camera. The frame rate of camera can be edited in NI MAX as 20 frames/second, so the illumination lights should also strobe at 20 Hz. When the camera is on, camera needs to be configured to send a signal to illumination lights to turn on the light.

For your information, here is the illumination lights:

There is an error I don't know how to fix, sorry.

In the control named "Camera", you need to pick up your own camera.

In the control named "Attributes XML File", you need to give a path to the xml file that will be generated by my VI, it can be for example "C:\camera.xml"

And I would like you to attach the generated file to your next reply to this forum thread.
