FLIR BlackflyS accessing the Chunk Data in LabVIEW

[Azion]

Hi,

I'm using a FLIR Blackfly S (BFS-U3-13Y3C) camera and I'm trying to access the chunk data during acquisition in LabVIEW.

I can easily access the chunk data in SpinView (attached snapshot), but the same seems to be not available with NI MAX or LabVIEW.

In NI MAX, I enabled the Chunk Data Decoding, and also enabled the "Chunk Mode Active" under Camera Attributes:: Chunk Data Control: Chunk Mode active.  In the example attached I choose Frame ID in the Chunk Selector Dropdown menu and enabled it.

Unfortunately, the individual chunk data fields stay greyed out. Even the Chunk image and Image CRC fields that can not be disabled also seem to be unreadable.

I have also tried the same with another camera (BFS-U3-63S4M) and the chunk data fields were unreadable.

I will really appreciate if anybody has any advice  or suggestion on how to access the chunk data with FLIR cameras (BlackFlyS). 

Thanks

Vic

Hi Vic, 

I am facing similar problem. But it seems that you are few steps ahead of me.

Do you know how can we retrieve the chunk data from saved images? I see that there is an option of using the SDK but I was wondering if there was another way of embedding the data in the image and reading it after reading from the frames. Do you happen to have any ideas about it?
