Hi everyone,
My goal is to acquire images from two ISC-1782 industrial smart cameras in a synchronized manner. I have connected the cameras as real-time targets to an ethernet network with a PC. To synchronize the cameras I am trying to use NI-Sync 19.0 on desktop side and NI-TimeSync Time Reference for IEEE-1588-2008 19.0.0 on the camera side.

You failed to attach any of (not to mention all of) the LabVIEW code running on your RT Target. You also haven't specified what you are trying to do (are both cameras supposed to be acquiring frames at the same, fixed rate, and are you only trying to start them in synch, or are you attempting to trigger individual frames in synch, for example). It is not clear why synchronization is even required -- for example, if you start two parallel loops running at the same time (using, for example, a Notifier or similar technique to start them synchronously), are you worried that the internal clocks in the two cameras will "drift" out of synch over the life of the recording? Do you want to "trigger" individual frames? Presumably you know this, but we do not, so giving advice is difficult.
