Issues with Configuring Basler Camera

I'm currently using a set-up involving a Basler avA 1000-120 km camera connected through a PCIe-1433 board through channel 0. The camera's .icd file is configured to permit PoCL functionality; however, whenever I connect it and set it to grab images, I get an error code 0xBFF60171 saying that the PoCL circuitry cannot provide power. Even when I connect the camera to an external power supply, though, I still get the error code. What exactly am I doing wrong?

Hello,

 

Are you sure the camera supports PoCL?  Even though the PCIe-1433 supports PoCL,  it will not work unless the camera also supports PoCL which would explain the error message you are getting.  It's usually explicitly stated in the specifications, so if it is not present you will need to power the camera externally.  While using the external power supply, did you try editing the .icd file for the 1433 interface to say "EnablePoCL(no)"?
