Serial port error code: 0xBFF6003B

[bajer]

SETUP: PCI-1428, ATMEL AVIIVA M2CL2014, LV7.1
ISSUE: external trigger mode
PROBLEM: when run in Free Run Mode, everything works fine in MAX as well as in LV. When changing Synchronization to Ext Trigger in MAX, I receive serial port error code: 0xBFF6003B in both MAX and LV.
What is wrong?

Hello,

Try using the IMAQ Serial Read and IMAQ Serial Write VIs to send serial commands and verify that the camera is responding properly. In LabVIEW 7.0 and later, these VIs are located on the Functions palette in NI Measurements » Vision » Image Acquisition » Camera Control.

You may also want to try disabling serial communication. Open the camera file (which should be located in your National Instruments\NI-IMAQ\Data folder). In the serial section (as shown below), set the SerialDisabled parameter to "Yes."

Serial {
Baud (9600)
Databits (8)
Parity (N)
SerialDisabled (Yes)
Stopbits (1)
TermChars (\r\n)
}

Try those two steps and let me know if the problem persists or if you have any additional questions on this issue.
