How to aqcuire image in MAX from FLIR A655sc without FLIR toolkit

[brevan]

Hi,

Currently i have problem to acquire photo's from the flir camera in MAX.

It is possible to see the FLIR camera in labview but it gives an error when opening.

It gives a 0xBFF69007 error "invalid device type".

Is it possible to use the FLIR camera in labview without the use of the FLIR toolkit?

The camera that i am using (FLIR A655sc) has the  GenICam and GigE Vision protocols.

 I am using Labview 2017 (64 bit) and have the next NI packages installed

Vision development module 2017

Vision Acquisition software 17.1

NI-VISA and NI-DAQmx

Best regards

Can you post a screenshot of your Device Manager window with NI Vision Acquisition and Network adapter categories expanded?

Hmm... that's a strange error for your setup.  Have you ever touched your registry settings for IMAQdx?  You shouldn't be seeing that error. 

If you open "regedit" and look for these keys, they should either not exist or be set to the values below:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\niimaqdxk\Parameters\EnableOnlyUserModeGigEVision, DWORD, value = 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\niimaqdxk\Parameters\EnableGVSPDriver, DWORD, value = 1

Do you have these keys?  If you do, are any set to 0?  If you do not have these keys, add them, restart your computer, and try to open the camera again.
