Is the DALSA X64-AN QUAD Framegrabber compatible to Vision Builder AI 3.6

[Cokfat]

Hi,

I am thinking about to use the DALSA Framegrabber with 4 Camera inputs. I was wondering, if this framegrabber is compatible to the Vision Builder AI 3.6?

Thanks

Dear Cokfat,

Vision Builder does not support the Dalsa X64-AN Quad framegrabber.  There is LabVIEW support available for the X64 through Alliance Vision, see http://www.alliancevision.com/us/index.html.  It may be possible for you to use the run LabVIEW VI step or to create a custom step in Vision Builder utilizing the NI Vision Builder AI Development kit to access the X64 via Alliance Vision's Sapera LT driver for LabVIEW.  However, either of these options would take considerable effort.

The only framegrabbers directly supported by VBAI are the one's manufactured by National Instruments, see http://sine.ni.com/nifn/cds/view/main/p/sn/n32:frameGrabber/lang/en/nid/1286/ap/vision.  If your application requires three or more cameras, I would suggest using a pair of PCIe-1430 framegrabber with Camera Link cameras, the PCIe-8235 with GigE cameras or using a firewire camera setup.
