I have problems with mi camera

[josue ramon]

I have a problem, when I use the measurement & automation explorer, I try to snap a image but I cant, and when I try to grab, a pop-up window error is displaying, they sey "ERROR (DMA Timeout): The system is unable to capture all of the incoming video data. To fix this problem, you can reduce the size of the acquisition window. This setting is located in the Basic Camera Setting property page. Reducing the acquisition window sizw decreases the amount of video data to capture", but I reduce the size of the acquisition window and nothing happend, I use a PCI-1408 and a JAI CV-M50, the camera works perfect but the error is now and i don;t know what to do!!!

Josue,

There is a Knowledgebase that addresses your issue.  The 3rd section in the Knowledge Base called "3. IMAQ Board Failing Diagnostics Test in MAX" might contain the solution to your problem.

Configuring IMAQ, IMAQ for IEEE-1394, and CVS Hardware: Part II

If this does not solve your issue, there is a good chance your Camera or PCI-1408 is damaged and you should call National Instruments to further troubleshoot.
