Does anyone has some experience with AVT Guppy and Vision Acqusition SW? I try to use colour camera (F080C), but MAX provides just monochrome video mode.
Under "Setting up The Application" you can find the step by
step instructions.
The NI-driver has an automatic debayering
integrated. This can be chosen in the Measurement & Automation Explorer
(MAX) under "Bayer Color" (Bayer Pattern RGRG_GBGB).
The AVT cameras return the color information as either Bayer or YUV data. I believe the Guppy returns Bayer data by default. One way to verify this is to zoom in on your apparently monochrome image and look for evidence of a mosaic pattern. This will confirm that you need to do Bayer decoding. At this point go to the Bayer Color tab in Measurement & Automation Explorer. Select the appropriate bayer pattern, calculate your gains and acquire an image. You should receive a decoded color image now. Be sure to save your settings.
Thank you Scott, thank you Johann, your answers are right and helped me. I was confused, because my earlier experiences were just with Marlin line cameras. Guppies requires little different setting and I did not know it.
