Change Rebin Setting of Prosilica GigE Image as Camera Attribute?

[tk003k]

I have a Prosilica GE series camera that has the ability to change binning in both the x and y direction.  I want to be able to change this value as part of my acquisition; however, the Attribute information array claims that I can only read this.  Does anyone know of a work around or do I have to set everything up in MAX every time I want to change settings?

Thanks!

You can use the "saved user sets" to save these settings to camera memory while configuring the camera to boot into this mode on power up.  Open the camera using NI's Measurement and Automation Explorer, select the Camera Attributes tab and scroll to the bottom of the tree  to find SavedUserSets.

The binning mode will change the size of the image acquired, which means IMAQdx must go into the "unconfigured" state before this setting can be changed. You are likely trying to change it while acquiring or after putting the camera/driver into the "configured" state. As long as you call the  Unconfigure Acquistion VI first it should become writable. Then you can call configure again to set everything up again.

Hope this helps,
