How do I control 2 cameras simultaneously, at the max frame rate, with a PCI1424

[Miranda]

I think it's more complicated than just doing two grabs at once. Do I need to start multiple threads or something? Do I need to use onboard memory to make sure I get the data acquired quickly enough?

Hi Miranda... it is Steph

One good way is to use external triggering so the cam will be reset and start acquisition at the same time...

It is for sure that the acquisition on onboard memory will be more effecient... but it depand what of processing you want to do...

One way is to have few thread... one trasfert and two processing... So once the first image is in the ost memory you can start processing it while the other one is being tranfert... It is call double buffering processing... or ping pong processing...

I don't remenber if the PCI have multi DMA CHANNEL...

Best Regards
