Hi muks,

 

even when Olympus is the manufacturer of the device it isn't a CAMERA. It's "an advanced nondestructive ultrasonic thickness gage" - just google for it.

 

So IMAQ/Vision might not be the perfect way to go here... What Fabian needs is more like a "standard" device driver like for DMMs or oscilloscopes, hence my suggestions to contact the manufacturer's support team!


So just the measurement values are to be got from the com port and do simple manupulation. That shouldnt be hard but gerd has suggested above we would highly recommend you to get as much tech details as possible. We can chip in then......

From user manual

 

 

Data logger and RS-232: The 37DL PLUS
identifies, stores, recalls, clears, and transmits
thickness readings, waveform images,
and gage configuration information through
the RS-232 serial port. The baud rate, word
length, stop bits, and parity are adjustable
from the keypad.

As we have already suggested get the data format and interface details clearly from them.

at the moment it looks like i will go another way to build the scanner without labview.

 

but thanks to you all for support! i´ll use labview in another application in the future for sure and i´m happy that one can find good response here in the conference

Digital Thickness Tester, to determine the thickness of various woven and knitted fabrics under a certain pressure. Digital Thickness Tester complies with ISO5084, ISO9073, ISO9863, etc.
