Hello Everyone,
I am trying to migrate our LabVIEW-based image acquisition system onto a 64 bit platform, Windows 7 in this case.
I am having problems while trying to run the cameras at large window size (full CCD). Speed is set to 400Mps with appropriate packet size. I am using exact same configuration that was successful in 32 bit but acquisition fails in 64 bit with large size windows. Lower windows (partial CCD) are working fine.
Everything else is working great.
I tried alternative 64 bits drivers (IMAQ not compatible) and it worked fine in all video modes. It thus does not seem to be a hardware issue.
Any idea of what I can do?
Thanks,
Sylvain

Hi Sylvain,
I assume you are using a firewire camera, correct? Can you tell me what version of IMAQdx you have? I believe we had a known issue in some earlier versions of IMAQdx where Windows would limit the size of a single image buffer to roughly 1MB (due to DMA restrictions with Microsoft's 64-bit firewire driver). Newer versions of IMAQdx have a seamless workaround for this issue such that it should not be a problem anymore. Try downloading the brand new Vision Acquisition 2009 and hopefully it should fix your problem.

Hello Eric,
Thanks for the fast response.
I do have fire-wire cameras and I use to have Vision Acquisition 8.6
As suggested, I uploaded and installed 8.6.1 August 2009 and it works perfect now.
Our Labview video acquisition program is now completely compatible with 64 bit platforms.
I am doing more testing wrt GPIB and DAQ, and hopefully won't encounter issues.
Thanks a lot,
Sylvain
