PCIe-1433 not showing 16bit x 2 taps as option in camera file generator

[dre99gsx]

Trouble getting 16bit by 2 taps camera to display 16 bits.  Instead, I get interleved columns of 16bits and 8bits, as if it is only doing 24bit.  Camera file generator seems to configure it all correctly, oddly, it uses tap 1 and tap 3 instead of tap 1 and tap 2.  

I noticed PCIE-1433 documentation doesn't list 2 taps by 16bit as an option,

https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/374001b/resource/374001b.pdf

yet NI public information 

https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/18/framegrabber-specifications-for-the-ni-c...

states it can support 2 taps by 16 bit.  Chances I need to update IMAQ drivers?

More detail.  Odd columns display correctly (ie., D2F0 16bit pixel value), and even columns all dispplay D2.  Seems like the 8 MSB are getting shifted right by 8 bits.  This camera operates correctly on a Dalsa framegrabber, same setup (16bit x 2 taps, interleaved).

Hi dre99gsx,

This seems like it could be caused by using the wrong camera file.  I noticed you said that it's a two tap camera and it's using a different tap configuration than what is intended.  Have you tried creating the camera file manually using our Camera File Generator (https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/19/creating-a-camera-file-using-the-ni-came...
