How to contorl PoCL in CVI

[DSN_001]

Hello,

I am using an NI-1433 board and can communicate with my JAI camera and use power over cameralink (PoCL) to power the camera. I would like to turn this on / off so that the camera is only powered when the software is running.

Can this be done?

If so, how?

Hi DSN,

The mechanism used to turn the PoCL on and off is marked to only be available at initialization time while loading the camera file, so there isn't a simple way to use this to turn the camera on and off. However, I did find another forum post where another community member came up with a possible workaround. You would need to close the IMAQ camera interface, then open a new one that uses a different camera file where the tag for supporting PoCL is unchecked.

I hope this helps!
