Labview Vision Assist IDS camera

[maarten706]

I ordered a camera from IDS, the 3360CP. This is for my thesis. IDS has there own VI's for labview for the camera.
The problem is that the image which is generated with those VI's is not compatible with the

vision assistant module in labview 2013. I'm looking for a way to convert the image.

I included the VI. If it doesn't open propperly the flowwing link can be used to install the labview VI on your pc.

They can be found under program files/IDS/uEye/otherdrivers/labview.

Kind regards,

Lot of missing subvis. Can you post all the vis?

[maarten706]

There area a lot of subvi's. 14 to be precise. I can only add 3 in attachement.

so it is easier to go to the following link and download them from the labview file.

the subvi's will then be placed on your pc

Maarten

The IDS cameras that require use of their SDK (the VIs they supply) are not directly compatible with IMAQdx, and hence, not suitable as image acquisition devices for use in Vision Assistant, and Vision Builder for Automated Inspection.

You will need to incorporate the IDS VIs into your pipeline in a way that makes the acquired image available to the script.  Most likely, this would be by writing the image to disk, and then signaling the script that the image is ready. If you need fast frame rates, and are not able to do everything in pure labview, I recommend looking at a different camera.

If you need to know which cameras are compatible, it will be those that support the GeniCam protocol, and to a lesser degree, those that are DirectMedia compatible. These latter category cameras are typically USB cameras with regular Windows drivers.  They are less expensive, but you don't get much control over the camera's configuration parameters.
