I have an application in which I configure an IMAQdx Sequence acquisition to grab a series of images. In essence, I predefine the number of frames that I want to acquire to set up the buffer and then set it up as a one shot acquisition. We then start the acquisition and use "Get Image" to place each individual image in to buffer. After the buffer is filled we compress the buffer in to an AVI movie.
This paradigm worked well for us for many applications. We have been using it for some time now without an issue. We recently came across an instance where it won't work. We have a time lapse application where we want to take each of these images at rates around 1Hz (or slower... all the way down to on demand). Everything seems to work fine at 6HZ, but at 5Hz I receive a timeout error.
I can't find a way to set the acquisition timeout. IMAQdx Configure Acquisition doesn't have a timeout setting and neither does IMAQdx Get Image. Does this have to be set using an IMAQdx property node? While writing this I found "timeout" in the acquisition attributes section... Is this what I am supposed to be using? If this is what I am supposed to use, when do I call it? Do I call it after the configure acquisition or after the Start Acquisition?
Thanks in advance for your help!
