VIMBA with Labview

[MarcoMauri]

Hi,

is there anybody who have succesfully used VIMBA SDK with Labview?

You need to download version 1.3

Use the LabVIEW Import DLL tool

Point it to the VimbaC dll, not C++

Put _WIN32 in the compiler directives.  This will get you part of the way there.

Thanks for replying!

We where trying to use the .NET assembly but it made Labview crash at the first call...

We'll follow your suggestions and let you know

Regards,

Marco

I've successfully called the Startup() function and listed the available cameras.

Of course I had to fix the auto-generated VIs, but that's part of the fun.

Thanks,

Marco

Hi,

I would like to use vimba with labview

i did say that MoviJohn but i'm stuck

Have you changed the VI and could you share?

thank you,

Hi Fred,

I had some problems calling VimbaC directly from Labview when big clusters were involved.

So, at the end, I wrote a C wrapper around the VimbaC dll...

Hi Fred,

I do not have a VI to work with VIMBA.  What I provided to Marco in this post was advice on how to import the VIMBA DLL into LabVIEW.  From there, you would need to study the VIMBA API.  I do not have any other exprience with the VIMBA drivers.  Sorry.

Hi

I read that you were able to use the VIMBA SDK .net assembly .

When I try to open the constructor I receive an error that labview is not able to load the assembly.

I'm using labview 2016 64bit and the last vimba version 2.1.3

Please can you help me on this topic?

Thank you
