Hi Kristen,
I have done more testing and almost to the
point of giving up. My first question to you is instead of reinventing
the wheel could it be possible if NI could upgrade the NI Camera File
Generator program to allow the (Settings -> Serial Settings ->
Test Serial Settings) Test Serial Settings component to increase its
incoming buffer from the camera to something very large? I don't know
who I would need to talk to on that.
Other than that I
have tried different variations getting this app to work. In the
imgSessionSerialWrite function the second parameter is the parameter to
send the desired command to the camera. I am using a character buffer
to send the information. This is an example of what I am doing. Maybe
by looking at this you may be able to assist me in troubleshooting why
I am not getting what I want.
int SendToCamera()
{
int rval;
char myBuffer[30];
uInt32 pBuffer;
myBuffer[0] = 'g';
myBuffer[1] = 'c';
myBuffer[2] = 'p';
myBuffer[3] = '\r'; //The \r is neccessary for the camera. It expects a \r after every command given.
pBuffSize = sizeof(myBuffer);
rval = imgSessionSerialWrite(m_Sid, myBuffer, &pBuffSize , m_Timeout);
return rval;
}
When
I read back the response from the camera it tells me the command that I
have sent is unrecognized. If I type in the same exact command in the
NI camera file generator it will give me a portion of the result that I
want. Any suggestions?
