Camera not selectable in "Session in"

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello,

 

I have the following setup:

 

An "ELIIXA+ 8k/4k" camera, connected to a PXIe-1435 module in the PXIe-1082.

 

My goal is to programmatically aquire images from within LabView (14.0.1 / 32bit)

 

Within MAX, I can snap pictures just fine.

 

I wrote a simple program to run on the PXI, but i can't select the camera as "cam0" (or anything) in the "Session in"-selector.

(Yes, I did deploy the VI to the PXI)

 

This is a screenshot of MAX (german version)

Why does the camera show up as "Channel 0", as opposed to "cam0"?

Can I change that?

How do I use a camera that shows up as "Channel 0" in LabView?

 

 

This is my test VI, it displays the error code "-1074360311 IMAQdx Open Camera", as is expected, when the camera is not properly selected.

There seems to be something fundamental that I am completely missing.

Thank you for your help.

Hi SeWi,

 

since you have a camera link camera you should yous the IMAQ driver not the IMAQdx.
