IMAQ VS IMAQdx utilities

[sqrt(-1)]

Hi all,

I've developed some applications that uses IMAQdx driver (I used USB cameras).

Now, I need to create an application for a Basler Camera using NI frame grabber, so my application requires IMAQ, not IMAQdx.

It's the first time for me with IMAQ. I've noticed that several utilities of IMAQdx are not present in IMAQ. My questions are:

- Is there a way to set frame rate?

- Is there a way to get camera information (manufacturer, model name, ...)?

- I've found a property node that returns serial number.I think it is the serial number of my frame grabber, not my camera. Is it correct?

- How can I set greyscale or color acquisition?

Thanks all

Hi,

what kind of camera do you use? The IMAQ driver are quite different from IMAQdx. Have you set the attributes in MAX? Do you load Camera File?

Here some links to help you with configuration:

Hi Mario,

I'm using a Basler A101p.

Yes, I've set attributes of camera in MAX and all works fine but my application should be able to work with different cameras using NI frame grabber. For this reason, I should get camera properties (manufacturer name, model, etc..) programmatically. It seems that the only way to get these parameters is to read configuration files (iid  and icd file). Is it correct?

Thanks
