Insufficient transfer engine resources

[SweetNev]

I am using Vision Acquisition Software(2011) to acquire images from basler scA640-70fc(firewire) on a Windows XP- 32 bit system. I can grab at upto 30fps. If I switch the mode to acquire 60fps it gives error Insufficient transfer engine resources. How to resolve this problem?

If you have any other Firewire cameras iny our system, remove them.  A firewire device will reserve bandwidth for itself even when it is not in use.

The majority of Firewire implementations use a single controller for multiple ports meaning that the bandwidth is shared.  Simply unplugging the extra devices may solve your problem.  The other solution is to install either a second Firewire controller or search for a provider of Firewire cards with a dedicated controller per port (these are quite rare).
