Setting the camera on auto is there a way in labview to store the attributes (exposure time and aperture size) when it takes the picture?

[slovintern]

The values were not stored as metadata so I needed a different way to get these values.

I have done this using Micorsoft Lifecam HD 5000.

All you need to do is

1. Save the configuration from Measurement And Automation Settings.

Also these settings are for each run means whenever you unplug and plug the Camera you'll need to change the Settings again.

I have solution for this that you will need to read the attribute file which MAX creates in C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI-IMAQdx\Data\<Cam Name>.icd.

So first follow the the step 1

Then Use the IMAQ dx Read attribut.

I think this helps

One more think. Disable the defaul software for the camera which runs whenever you plug the camera because it might be causing the issue.:)

Thanks for the reply

But the camera will take a specified number of pictures automatically and I need the values for each picture in sort of an array.
Is that possible from this?

You can't read EXIF data?

Right now I am doing it the following way to capture and save.
And I don't have any values for the exposure.
