One camera with two applications

[TXXX]

Hi

I am trying to connect NI PCI-1422 board with 2 applications without any H/W conflict. One of programs was written by our vendor long time ago so I can't modify its source code.

I can write down one application using VB. However, the problem is that H/W conflict occurs when loading IMAQ operation since the other program already uses the H/W.

If anybody helps me, I appreciate.

Hi Shinwook:

You will not be able to access your frame grabber with two programs simultaneously.  As you mentioned, you will get the hardware conflict error.  The only way you could get your programs to both run would be to acquire the resource, use it, and release it to the other program. However, if you're not able to modify the program from your vendor, I think you may be out of luck.

Let me know if I can provide any further information.
