Camera file generator timeout

Time out came up on Camera File Generator

Hi

Recently I use Camera File Generator Version 2.1.1 to control a CamraLink camera through IMAQ PCI-1428. When I grab the image "Acquisition Timeout" message came up. I changed smaller image format, but it was still same. I succeed communication with this camera through another serial communication software. It seems camera works, but an image does not come up.

And one more thing, I just want to use a camera with default setting. I expect I do not need to send any serial command. Should I do some action ?

Thanks lots,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

 

Are you trying to grab using Measurement and Automation Explorer? If so, try going to the Acquisition Attributes tab in MAX and lowering your Packet Size.

Hi Burrito,

Sorry for late respond, Now I got an image after changed the camera setting and setting on IMAX. I can see an image on  both of software. It seems camera was not recognized on IMAX. This was main reason. Thank you for your help.

Best,
Kevin
