Error on CWIMAQ.LoadInterfaceDefaults

[bestbier]

Hi

I have my application running perfectly on my development PC with VB2005, Vision Developement Module 8.6.4 and IMAQ 4.2. 

Now I am trying to get the actually PC the will use the app running. I installed IMAQ 4.2 and Vision Run-Time 8.4.4 and all the .Net 2.0 parts. The PCI1427 and camera are working in MAX, but when I load the the app I get a fatal error (Event id 5000) on "CWIMAQ.LoadInterfaceDefaults".

Any ideas?

I have done this with VDM 8.5 using the 8.5 Run-Time and it worked first-time.

Thanks,

Bestbier

Hi Bestbier,

I am a little confused.  You developed your application with VDM 8.6.4 and IMAQ 4.2 and you are trying to run it on another computer with the same run-time and driver setup.  Is that correct?  The last sentance you wrote I have done this with VDM 8.5 using the 8.5 Run-Time and it worked first-time." means that you tried the same thing before in the past with the older versions and it worked correctly?

Is there any more information included in the error message?

Best Regards,

Hi Bryan

You are understanding me correctly. When I last did this I was using version 8.5/4.0, but had to upgrade because there was a driver bug with IMAQ 4.0 - that was a year ago, so now I am using the latest VDM, run-time and drivers.

As for the error, I will have the PC in my office next week and get the complete error message and post it then, all I can remember is the Windows Event Viewer showed ID 5000 and something about "mscorlib.dll" .Unfortunately I don't have a camera to test I I will give it a shot.

What is the type ocamera that you are using (firewire, gigE)?

As a preliminary solution, try to uninstall any previous versions of NI IMAQ, then reinstall a fresh copy of it. It is a strong candidate to solve the problem.

Hi

I am using a Cameralink camera - it does work on my developement PC which exactly the same configuration except that it has VB2005 and VDM installed.

I only got the PC in my office today.

I will try uninstalling and reinstalling and then post my findings.

Hi Bryan

I have uninstalled all NI software and reinstalled IMAQ 4.2 and Runtime 8.6.4. - Still the same error.

I then installed VDM 8.6.4 in evaluation mode. - Still the same error.

Do you have any ideas?

Hi Bestbeir,

Have you tried running any of the shipping examples?  They can be found at: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Vision\Examples\dotNET

[wbadry]

Bestbier,

do you use any third party controls besides VDM (like infragistics or syncfusion controls) as one of their assemblies might be missing which may cause this problem.

Since you installed VDM on this machine, I don't think it is the problem, it might be with Vision Acquisition that I recommend to install too since camera interface is based on it.

Hi Bryan

I solved it!

The problem snuck it when I had to upgrade from Vision 8.6 to 8.6.4. The only way I know how to do this is to delete the components in the app and the install the new version and the to add the components back into the app. Then give them the same names and the handles back to the procedures. This worked, but the one property that was set in the designer and not in code was the Imaq.Interface property. I was browsing around the program and found it to be set to "NICFgen", I changed it to the correct interface name ("img0") recompiled and installed there we go. I now set the property in the code before I call LoadInterfaceDefaults as a backup.

Best regards,

Bestbier
