Limit Basler exposure times?

-Sorry if this is obvious, I'm new to NI software-

 

I'm having trouble getting a Basler pilot to communicate with one of my group's LabView interfaces.  The problem seems to be that the absolute exposure time needs to be an integer to function correctly in the software.  I'm able to adjust exposure in NI-MAX, but this always leaves long decimal places.  This is also the case with the exposure time base.  

 

Is there a simple way to restrict absolute exposure time to integer values in NI-MAX?

What is you camera?

It is usually not too hard to control trigger width as a constant.

 

Are you using an external trigger for your image acquisition? If yes, maybe you can set the camera to "trigger width exposure time" and control the width of your trigger signal.


We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.

It's a Basler piA1600-35gm.  

 

Acquisition is triggered in our labview vi, which requires the exposure time as an input.

see from page 13 of the attached user manual, the details for exposure time settings. The Exposure time absolute is an integer in microseconds.
