real time image procession:problem with IMAQ RT

[fringe]

Hello!

We are developing an application involving real image processing.
We intend to use a DELL 370 (P IV,2 GB RAM) machine as the
intended target along with a NI 1429 Framegrabber.The system has
a PCI Express slot(X16) which runs the frame grabber in the X1 mode
instead of the desired X4 mode.

The framegrabber was tested under Windows XP and Labview( plus
IMAQ 3.1) with snapshot and aquisition mode.

Now,this machine was made into a real time target,by using ETS thru the
boot disk.After configuring the IP address,we encounter problems in the
software installion(remotely,through MAX)

The trouble is that when i try to install IMAQ -RT (and IMAQ server),
the system crashes.I am able to install the Labview Real time engine without a problem
(if i choose not to install the IMAQ components)

I get the message to the effect that the system will reboot and please look
up the log.I have copied the rlog.txt file from the disk at the bottom.

I removed the framegrabber and tried to install the IMAQ Rt on the target but i
Got the same results.

As mentioned before installation without IMAQ RT is smmoth and I even ran a simple program
on the host.The whole decision of implementation was based on the fact that IMAQ
works under the real time engine,so it is very critical that it can be installed.

Anybody got a clue what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Dhananjay

P:S. I upgraded Labview 7.1 and real time module 7.1 to 7.1.1 versions recently.
This was prompted by an incompatibily in same installation I mentioned above.
One of the components needed Real time 7.1.1.I also mass compiled once after applying
both the real time patch and the labview patch.(in that order)

Hi, Fringe,

You are correct, IMAQ works under LabVIEW Real-Time, however the Real-Time 7.1 platform currently does not support PCI Express boards.  That is probably the reason why you are getting all of those crashes after installing the IMAQ driver.  The engine might be trying to identify the card, but since PCIe is not compatible with RT, that could be generating the errors.

I hope this helps.

GValdez,

So what you are saying is that the PCIe-1429 board I bought for my RT computer to capture images from a 1000 fps camera is not going to work in RT OS?

Carlson,

That is correct.

I am having a very similar problem, where my system randomly reboots

I am running LabVIEW RT 8.6.1with

-Dell PC With Dual Quad core (8 cores total), 2GB memory

-NI PCIe 1430 Frame Grabber with NI Camera Link I/O Extension Board (used for encoder input)

-NI Vision RT 8.6.1

-NI-IMAQ RT 4.1.0

-NI-IMAQ Server 2.6

Sometimes the system can run up to 8 hours straight and other times only 30 minutes.

All I get on the screen after reboot is this message: "Reboot due to system error."

Every time the system reboots a new entry is added to the rtlog.txt, all similar logs (Below is one example)

Any suggestions or help will be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Octavian C.

Below is the rtlog.txt
