Hi

I am using Unibrain's fire wire card with the Sony DFW-SX900 camera for my vision application written in LabVIEW 6.1+IMAQ. The PC is running on Windows 2000 and it has IMAQ 1394 ver 1.1. My application requires snapping of an image every 1 seconds. When the system is running suddenly it shows an error as "Error-1074364414 occurred at IMAQ 1394 snap.vi Timeout...� When I close the application and open it again (closing the IMAQ session and initializing it again) then the system runs properly but shows the same error after sometime. Sometimes when the error occurs and when I close and open the application again, I get the error as "Error-1074364380 occurred at IMAQ 1394 init.vi I/O erro
r, This can be caused by a camera or 1394 adapter malfunction..." This error occurs when I try to initialize the camera from LabVIEW. Even MAX shows an I/O error. The only solution is to restart the computer.

I am using the same camera and card for three systems. All the three system are showing the same problem. Based on our troubleshooting we don't think that the camera/connections could be a problem.

What could be the possibilities for these errors to come? Has anyone faced a similar problem?

There are known issues with the Sony cameras and 1.1 version of 1394 driver with multiple snaps. Call NI to speak with an Applications Engineer through www.ni.com/ask and upgrade to version 1.5 of the driver. This should get rid of the issue.
