camera not triggering from quad. encoder via PCIe1429

[kitfoxer]

Hi everyone,

We are trying to get a camera to acquire by positional triggers from a quadrature (linear) encoder through a PCIe-1429 board with the CameraLink IO extension board.  The linear encoder is working fine but somehow the triggers are not being passed to our JAI Pulnix CV-107CL color linescan camera.  We are using NI's camera file for this camera.  It looks to me like there might be information missing in the file section for the 1429 board commands for SignalLevels, at least as compared to the other board interfaces listed.  Does anyone have any tips or suggestions to try?

Here's a link to NI's camera file page.

Thanks in advance,

Hello kitfoxer,

Here is a discussion forum post that gives some details on the different types of triggers that can be setup: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=200&message.id=1474&requireLogin=False 

I hope this gives you a better idea of the settings availlable in MAX to configure the trigger. I can take a further look into this, and give you some more information soon.
