AVT Marlin not recognized by Measurement and Automation Explorer

[gege91]

Hi all,

I am using an AVT Marlin F046B under Windows 7 and sometimes this camera is not recognized by Machin Vision: in Measurement And Automation 5.0 (MAX), no IEEE1394 device appears.

This issue appears randomly. When the camera is not recognized by MAX, if I use the AVT driver for IEEE1394 board, the camera is recognized by AVT SmartView and when I install Back Microsoft driver for IEEE1394 board, the camera is still not recognized by MAX.

Could there be a compatibility problem somewhere?

Thanks in advance,

Hello Oliver

I am also having a similar problem. I have a WIndows 7 64 bit system with LabView Runtime  Engine 2011 , NI Vision Acquisition 2012 August installed in it. Also I have two Marlin F 146 B cameras. When I restart the  computer after unplugging and plugging it from the power, the cameras are not recognized nor found in NI MAX.  In Device Manager under IEEE 1394 Bus Host controller, I have a these options: See image below. Until now i was using " Texas Instruments 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller Driver"

Is the "legacy" and "alt " the same? if not , where can i dowload a Legacy  driver?

Thanks

Hello Oliver,

I'm facing the same issue in windows 10 and the link you put before is not working at the moment (error 404). Can you direct me to a different page or explain the solution, please?

Thanks in advance,

Hello Bernardo,

thanks for your quick reply. I'm using Labview 2015 64-bits in Windows 10 with Vision Acquisition software from February 2016. The camera used is a AVT Marlin. MAX is not able to find it but I can use other cameras like AVT Guppy or Pyke and it works perfectly. What should I do to communicate with Marlin?

Best regards,

Filipe Velosa

Hello Filipe, 

can you test if your Marlin camera is recognized with our Vimba SDK, or in another PC? If your other cameras are working on the same PC, then I smell a repair-process coming, but we need to be sure.

Hello Filipe,

When I had the same issue under Windows 7, I had solved it by modifying or adding a key in the registry :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\1394ohci\Parameters\EnableGapCountOptimization
DWORD = 0.

I do not know if this could help in your case.

Best regards
