What is the display of my Kodak, (Image), board supposed to look like, I keep getting a weird display.

I have a PCI-1424 IMAQ board and also a Kodak, KLI-2113 board, using MAX I can see that the board is getting a reading, it is photo sensitive, but the display looks like a conveyer belt that varies with intensity as the light is closer and further away. The picture (attached), looks like a rotating conveigher belt of dark and light fringes. What is this picture supposed to look like? Is there supposed to be color, I think there is but am confused because I don't see any.

Thanks much,

Brian

1) Your camera is a tri-linear CCD. The .icd files you are experimenting with are for use with area cameras, Pulnix 9701 and Cohu 750.
2) I suggest starting with the attached files. These were designed to work with the Kodak KLI-8013 Tri-Linear CCD.
3) These files will probably need to be modified to fit your particular camera.
4) The resulting image should be much as you described, "a rotating conveyor belt." Linescan cameras function much like a faxmachine, scanner or photocopier. Linescan cameras create images row by row. The height parameter in MAX sets the height of the image to be transferred across the PCI bus from the frame grabber. The image is acquired line by line until of the height set in MAX is acquired. The height par
ameter can be adjusted by highlighting the camera in MAX, left clicking, then opening the properties window. You will see the parameter in the lower right hand corner of the properties window. The rate the rows are acquired at depends on the line rate of the camera. Depending on the camera's line rate, waiving a light towards and away from the sensor will result in an image of bright and dark ripples.
6) Graftek Imaging develops custom camera files for use with NI's Vision products. If you would like to discuss what needs to be done in further detail, I can be reached at 512-416-1099.
