Change fps in a Thorlabs DCC1645C camera

[MatanH]

Hi,

I am working with a DCC1645C camera with Labview 2107 32bit running on Windows7 32bit NI IMAQdx version 17.0.

I need to change the camera fps in Labview. Using the software of Thorlabs I can control the camera and change its settings incloding the frame rate, pixel clock and exposure. 

previous post is irrelevant because the suggested solution using the camera attribute is failed. 

https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Change-fps-and-resolution-in-a-Thorlabs-DCC1645C-camera/td-p/278977...

When I try to control the camera using the basic example in Labview:

 Vision acquisition-> NI Imaqdx->high-level->grab and attribute setup, 

It's failed to connect the camera frame rate values and the fame rate is stuck on 10 fps. 

When I try to connect the camera using NI-MAX, it also give me only the option of 10fps.

Thanks,

Matan

Hi Matan, 

When acquiring USB 2.o cameras using NI IMAQdx, the driver communicates with the manufacturer DirectShow interface. 

Here is a link explaining how to troubleshooting USB 2.0 (DirectShow) Camera Installation Problems.

In your specific case, it seems that not all the DirectShow attributes are exposes to the NI IMAQdx. 

Therefore, the best solution is to use the Thorlabs .NET driver that can be download from here:

Let me know if you have any question.
