Hi
I’m sorry to hear that your program stopped working. Did anything in your system change? Can you still get each camera to function separately?
There are a few things that we can try. First try upgrading your driver to the latest version of IMAQ. You can also try reducing the frame rate. Or change the window size. There is also a discussion forum that discusses the error that you are seeing.
If these steps don't help, then there are a few things that would be helpful to know.
1. What is the motherboard manufacturer, model, and BIOS
revision (often shown quickly on system power-up might need to use a function key
to keep it from flashing by too fast. Which key depends on the computer). Several computers behave differently with the
1429 check this knowledge base to find out what computer you should use with
the 1429e
2. What camera file are you using? Who
was the source of this camera file?
3. The Basler 504kc camera outputs in Bayer mode,
correct? Are you doing the Bayer de-mosaicing in software? Is it being done as
the image is acquired or as a post-processing step after all images are
acquired?
4. Does the camera have a firmware version number?
5. For high speed cameras, we recommend choosing widths that result in multiple
of 8 bytes because of the higher efficiency. So in the case of a 8-bit camera,
this would mean multiples of 8 pixels. Is this how you have been testing?
6. Which widths have been tested, and what were the results?
7. What version of the IMAQ driver are you using?
8. Can you get the same behavior/error when you use one of our example VIs
(Program Files\National Instruments\NI-IMAQ\Sample)?
Keep me posted
Have a great day

Updating the IMAQ software combined with changing the image width fixed the problem!
With the old software, we always had a timeout occur when the starting pixel was set to 0 and the width to 1280. Now, it works fine with that setting but not with the previous one. Seems odd, but it's working fine now!
Thanks a lot for the help,
Gunther
