NI-IMAQdx: Hex0xBFF6901B timeout.

[nachikulk]

Hi

I am using a USB3 camera Pointgrey Flea3. I am trying to grab an image based on the external trigger received by the camera. However, I am finding the following error

Error-1074360293 occured at IMAQdx GetImage2.vi

Possible reason

NI-IMAQdx: Hex0xBFF6901B timeout.

This does not occur when I toggle the triggered acquisition to off on NI-MAX.

Could anyone please help. 

Also, Please let me know what must be the settings on the NI-MAX.

Thanks

Just looking at your issue and looking through the NI website I found this which suggests that it is your firewall. Did you consider that problem?

Anyway it's a timeout issue from the camera. So please check you installed drivers for it as well.

If it works in MAX and doesn't work in your LabVIEW code, it is probably your code.  There is probably a missing wire, a missing function, an incorrect function, poor design, or some other flaw.  Unfortunately, you failed to attach your VI (please do not waste our time by posting a picture of part of the Block Diagram)(but if your VI is part of a LabVIEW Project, feel free to compress the Folder containing the Project and attach the entire .zip file).

I am using Trigger and Grab.vi from the Labview examples. I am getting an error also in NI-Max. PLease help me with this.

Thanks

When I try the examples with my cameras (where I don't see a Trigger Mode Attribute), I get error BFF6900F, Attribute not supported by the Camera.  You are getting a TimeOut -- if we assume that the Camera supports a Trigger mode, this suggests you are not giving it a Trigger within the TimeOut window.  This is not necessarily an error -- in your case, you set a timeout of 1 second, so a second after you start the Camera, if you don't give it a Rising Edge trigger, you should expect a TimeOut error (which you can choose to clear and ignore, perhaps looping until you do get a trigger).
