how to add a video option to capture image

[muks]

Why is there an exclamatory mark over com5? Have installed all the required drivers? What is the camera you are using?

i have isntalled all the drivers. Actually am able to capture image and process it using the software provided along with the camera(not labview). i was able to modify the labview program upto a certain extent.Now I want to add this extra feature- video mode where i can adjust the focal length of the camera and once it is fixed can capture the image.Now what i am following is to adjust the image using the software provided and then switch over to labview.

Sorry to say I could not find any mark near the COM5. I have selected that particular tab. I am using andor ECCD camera.

That is my whole point. Did you install the labVIEW drivers? Did you get it on request?

Are you sure that the driver for labview is not installed for the particular application. If so will the code I have work and give result.It shows image output in the screen.

Now the problem is only with the video mode.It is not giving any image in the video screen.  My aim is to get video mode inorder to adjust the focus.Otherwise it gives all other results. I will clarify it with the software provider also.

 I have tried the HLsnap example program with the camera. It was not working on the camera. The camera is of 14 bit and probably the number of bits the program is capturing is less. Could bit incompatibility be the problem?

Eh??? Is it related to the discussion? if yes explain. If no start a new thread.

Always advisable to refresh our memory even if this is indeed related 🙂

Please start a new thread, giving an overview of what your problem is.

And this thread is as such been roller coaster and am still not getting the whole picture

(Muks wrote: I assume you want to adjust the focus seeing the streaming in labview (correct me if otherwise). You can easily do this using a "acquire" inside a while loop. Use a capture button to exit the while loop and save/process the captured image.) 

Hi Muks,

 After a long trial I found that it works with the while loop after making a little modification in the code. Now there is another problem that it takes a few seconds(less than 5s) to make a second capture . so even though the image changes with time,it does not actually look like video. Thanks to you and all those in this thread who spared their time for me.

Thank you all.
