From: Harry S. on 7 Sep 2006 03:10 Hi! I'm having the similar problem with a Redlake ES4 camera. I sometimes get the 0xBFF6001F error, while I have the right camera selected (Redlake ES4 12 bit). The PCI framegrabber checkes out OK in the selftest, and is new. The camera works fine with other software at another machine. A few times I did get a picture, but it appeared like some of the bits are gone, the picture has very little contrast. I hope somebody more experianced than I can help me out?
From: Lorne H. on 8 Sep 2006 11:10 Harry, I am guessing you are using the PCI-1424, is that correct? Also make sure you are doing the following..."PCI-1424Known support limitations:In continuous mode, the minimum settable exposure time is 1ms. This camera file will only work with NI-IMAQ 2.5 or higher and will only work with cable p/n 185275B-02 from National Instruments." <a href="ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/imaq/camera_support/camera_files/digital/redlake/Redlake%20ES%204.0%2012bit%20support.txt" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/imaq/camera_support/camera_files/digital/redlake/Redlake%20ES%204.0%2012bit%20support.txt</a> <a href="http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nipc.product?pid=2223" target="_blank">http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nipc.product?pid=2223</a> Lorne HengstApplication EngineerNational Instruments
From: Harry S. on 11 Sep 2006 03:10 Thnaks for your reply Lorne, I indeed use the PCI 1424. The exposure time and IMAQ version are OK, but I will double check that. The cable I use is different indeed, so that might be the problem. Strange thing is that the same cable works fine with the same framegrabber and a labview 5.1 programme. What causes these differences?
From: Harry S. on 11 Sep 2006 06:40 Lorne, I'm using the following hard and software: PCI 1424 (checks out fine in selftest) Redlake ES4 12 bit (selected in NI MAX) NI IMAQ 3.5.1 (I noticed it does not pop up in a window like it does when starting up other software, can this be a problem?) Cable 185275 B 04 (instead of 185275 B 02, can this still be an issue?) I still get the 0xBFF6001F error. The camera works with cable 810028-145-03 on an older computer with other software, when I use cable 185275 with that configuration I get the missing bits again I had in the beginning on the new computer. So the other cable might help to get a good picture as soon as I get beyond the error. Harry,

Hey Harry, I was wondering if you are using the same 1424 that you had working on another PC? There are two different types of 1424's that NI offers, one for LVDS cameras and the other for RS-422 cameras. If you only have one 1424, that's fine, but if you are using two separate 1424's then double check that they have similar serial numbers. Next, with the different cables, I would recommend that you try using the cable that works on the other PC and see if that one will allow you to acquire an image. If the one cable that always worked now works with the system that you are getting the error, and the other cable does not work, then you can try to see if the cable that does not work with the new system works with the old system. So try the cable 810028-145-03 on the new computer and see if that works. Also, you mentioned that you are using the same Redlake ES4 12 bit camera file in MAX, but have you made sure that all of the camera attributes and settings in MAX are the same? Double check that all the settings are similar. Getting the camera to be able to acquire images in MAX is more important that getting other software to work, like LabVIEW. Once you can get things to work in MAX, they will work in LabVIEW. Keep us updated on how things go. Thanks, and have a great day. Regards, DJ L. |
