Sapera LT with CVI

[menchar]

Now here's heresy ....

Has anyone been able to use a DALSA framegrabber and the Sapera LT C programming API to acquire video from a CVI application?

While DALSA advertises a C language API, it's not clear that it can be made to work with anything other than using VCPP as a C compiler ( which it can do - VCPP is also a C89 compiler but not a C99 compiler).

Thanks.

You can do it with the "basic api" which is a Sapera ANSI C interface.  I  had to undef some multiply defined integer type limits, then it compiled, linked, and ran all OK.  I  used the "framegrabber" interface rather than the "camera" or "device" interface to grab a test pattern off of a simulator.  I used .cca and .cvi files I created using CamExpert.

I did this with CVI 9.1, WinXP SP3, Sapera LT 7.0.0, X64 driver 1.5.  Works with both single and dual head X64 grabbers.

So while using an NI framegrabber is nice, it's also possible to use a DALSA framegrabber from CVI.
