Gige Camera slow initialization

[abossen]

 I 'm using a Aviiva EM1 GigE camera with Labview 2011. I insalled the latest Imaqdx driver. I can acquire without problems images. However the initialization of the camera takes about 38 sec with Max or Imaqdx Open. When using Gevplayer (Pleora) it takes only 10 seconds. What can I do to speed up the initialzation in Labview ?

Hi

Is it takes 36sec at first time or every time you open the camera?

Hey,

how about your network settings and all. have you enabled Jumbo frames? If yes, then there must be an incompatiblity of both ev2 and LabVIEW.

I have the same problem with EM1 GigE camera with Labview 2012, any suggestion? Thanks.

There are two factors that contribute to delays opening a GigE Vision camera:

-Genicam XML load time

-Possible register delays/timeouts while walking the available features

The first one is up to the camera vendor in terms of how large their XML file is that the camera provides. Recent versions of IMAQdx (I think maybe 17.0+) updated the shared Genicam software component that decreased XML load time significantly. Upgrading could help with this.

If the camera has registers that are slow or time out in their XML file, there's not much you can do besides work with the camera vendor. Capturing a Wireshark trace during camera opening can help identify these slow registers.
