Camera link serial connection vi - simple program not working

[James Fr]

I have a very simple program, attached here.

The command, 'gcp' which is sent via IMAW Serial Write should return a bunch of text detailing the settings of the camera. Whenever it runs, the Serial Read times out.

I've looked through several examples of how to use the IMAQ Serial Write and Serial Read functions, including several threads here, but I still haven't managed to find anything to indicate where I've gone wrong.

Please take a look and tell me what you think. Thanks in advance.

Setup:

Windows 7

LabVIEW 2011

NI PCIe-1427 frame grabber

Dalsa 1M30 camera, Camera Link

Hi,

Did you check the command syntax you must send to your camera?

Each camera vendor has its own syntax.

Sometimes, you just have to add a carriage return at the end of your string command.

Hope this helps

Kind regards
