IEEE 1394 Camera Bus Trigger

[Nikko1]

Hello All,

I have 3 cameras (IEEEE 1394) connected to a NI PXI 8255. I have to aquire 3 different images at different frame rate. The same PXI chassis (NI-PXI 1042) contains a NI-PXI 5122 card that is used to aquire some analog data that is trigerred using RTSI. I don't seem to be succesful in finding a way to trigger all my cameras using RTSI therefore I was wondering if anyone developed something similar or if you have any suggestions.

Thank for your time.

Nick-

   What exactly is happening?  are you seeing an error or is it just not working?  Are you trying to trigger using the IMAQ functions or using the clock from the 5122?  Let us know and we'll be able to offer better advice, thanks.
