increment decrement backwards in MAX

[BruceMoyer]

I recently installed VAS 2014 and I'm noticing some peculiarities with Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) when using Camera Link.

For certain attributes, the up/down arrows on the control have reversed functionality.  When I click the down arrow, the value goes up, and when I click the up arrow, the value goes down.  (The conversion is working properly and the correct value is being sent to the camera.)

Here's a snippet of one attributes that causes the arrows to misbehave (ICD file is attached as well but with .txt extension because .icd isn't allowed):

                                       Attribute (Exposure) {
                                          Value (Integer) {
                                             Min (580)
                                             Max (291924)
                                             Increment (1)
                                             Display {
                                                Multiplier (0.000048192652634926)
                                                Offset (-0.000481859)
                                                Precision (5)
                                                Units (ms)
                                             }
                                             Default (291924)
                                             Current (291924)
                                             Action (Serial) {
                                                Command (EXP %d\r)
                                                Response ()
                                                Timeout (100)
                                                Delay (0)
                                             }
                                             Action (Serial) {
                                                Command (FRAME:PERIOD 292254\r)
                                                Response ()
                                                Timeout (100)
                                                Delay (0)
                                             }
                                          }
                                       }

Also, if I click and hold the down arrow to go up to the maximum, it briefly stops, but then rolls over to the minimum value and shortly afterwards gets into a state where the arrows are stuck in a small range.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello Bruce,

This sounds like it may be a bug with NI-MAX. I would recommend contacting Applications Engineering at NI using the phone support number 866-275-6964. The Applications Engineer you speak with would be able to file a bug report if necessary.
