Hello I'm working with a chinise USB 2.0 camera , brand is ELP, and it has an MI5100 Aptina sensor of 5MP, but it doesn't have a proprietary driver , it's a UVC camera, in attached picture you'll see the capture of device manager.
The problem is that programmatically and under MAX , in both ways some times is possible to access camera attributes and other times is not.
Programmatically I use enumerate attributes from IMAQdx , to show which attributes are available from the camera. In attached VI you can see it. For example , you run the VI, and enumerate shows all camera attributes as brightness, gain, etc, stop the VI, next time you run camera attributes are gone , only acquisition attributes and status information are available. The same occurs for MAX, some times shows the camera attributes sometimes not.
I saw the configuration files for the camera, from IMAQdx data folder, in the .icd file there are only acquisition attributes , no other information. If I add by text camera attributes to this .icd file , then maybe camera attributes will be allways available ?? The thing is that I don't know which format this text must have. In the attached .iid and .icd files.
