IMAQ Camera Attribute Read In

[kudi]

For a program which acquires images of a camera, I want to create an
information frame (subVI) which shows the name, properties and all
available attributes of the used camera (similar to the
"properties"-frame in the "Measurement&Automation Explorer").
This subVI should provide the attribute-read-in of different cameras.
I tried to use the according file of the "NI-IMAQ/DATA"-folder and
seperate the attributes by LV-string-functions. But this ends at least
in a desaster..... a lot of attributes containing sub-attributes or
sub-sub-attributes or what ever.

Is there a possibility or a existing VI to solve my problem ?

try asking again in the Vision forum...
I had to do a similar thing but was lucky because I used a variant of the pal.icd file which is a normal .ini text file, that can be written to.
The only limitation is that it must live in the IMAQ/data directory.

If I understand corretly you are trying to make a VI which will parse the camera files in order to display the options to a user from a LabVIEW program.

Unfortunaltely, at present we have no such VI writen.

Let me know if I have missunderstood your question or can do anything more for you.
