Trying to detect GigE camera(TM-1405GE) in MAX

[bhuff]

My company recently bought a new camera.  It is the TM-1405GE by pulnix.  This camera is a GigE camera and I have already installed the software that comes with the camera and can aquire images with that software.  My problem is that when I try to use labview or MAX I cannot detect the camera.  Under the software section of MAX it says I have IMAQdx software but under the Devices and Interfaces folder there is no NI-IMAQdx Devices tab.  I have also tried just righting a simple VI using IMAQdx to aquire an image but the camera isn't being detected.  Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Well, MAX is the place to look for the cameras.

We had issues with Dalsa cams and I kept nagging with the local reseller until it was fixed. The problem was that the camera wasn't fully GigE compliant, the same be with yours.

Maybe you have to switch the camera for another software backend?

Hello,

Please check out the Troubleshooting GigE Vision Cameras Developer Zone Tutorial for suggestions on what to do when your GigE Vision camera does not show up in the Measurement and Automation Explorer.  You may also want to look at the Acquiring from GigE Vision Cameras with Vision Acquisition Software Tutorial.

The data sheet for your camera does not display the GigE Vision logo, so you may need to check with the camera manufacturer to see if the camera adheres to the GigE Vision standard.

I happened to come across this thread. I know it's older but hopefully you got the TM-1405GE to work. It uses the Pleora module so it should work with NI. We also use the Pleora platform and it works like a charm.

Cheers,
