searching for the *.icd for a Sensors Unlimied camera (model SU640-1.7RT-D)

I am in search of the *.icd configuration file for a Sensors Unlimited camera (model SU640-1.7RT-D) so that we may acquire data using labVIEW and IMAQ.

 

Any help would be greatly appreiciated. 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

MAX typically creates the ICD (and IID) files when you plug the camera in and it "finds" it.  Have you done this?  Does MAX "see" your camera?  Can you use MAX to snap a picture or a video?

 

If the answer to all these questions is "Yes", then MAX has probably made the files for you.  Look in the Public Documents (I'm assuming Windows), National Instruments\NI-IMAQdx\Data for the files.

 

There is one "gotcha" -- MAX should be able to find cameras plugged into a USB port on the PC, as well as cameras connected via TCP/IP on the local subnet.  If the camera is "discoverable" (meaning somewhere "near" on the network, but not perhaps within the local subnet), then MAX may not be able to find it.  Try plugging the camera in "near" your PC -- you can get MAX to make you the files that you need, but you'll need to modify them to reflect the "actual" IP address of the camera once you plug it in to the non-local subnet.  [We've complained to NI Vision people about this, but we still "do it by hand" when necessary ...].
