Communicate JAI EL-2800M-USB with NI LabView

[jaidarraga17]

Hi!

I am building an automated apparatus for my research. I have a JAI EL-2800M-USB camera that I would like to use to:

- Get real time video of the experiment

- Capture pictures at some stages of my experiment

I have built pretty much everything and set up the VI to operate my equipment but the camera. I do not know if it would be possible to do what I want. I am using Labview 15 and DAQmx 15.

Has anyone gotten to communicate this type of camera to Labview?

Thanks in advance for the replies, the best,

-J

The camera states that it it USB3 Vision compatible. You just need the NI IMAQdx driver to use it in LabVIEW. It is part of the Vision Acquisition software package.

After installing the software, check that the camera works in MAX and configure the image settings to get a good image, then check out the "Snap" example to see how to take a single image on demand in your code.

Video can also be captured using the "Grab" examples. There are some that show how to record to a movie file as well.
