Why is IMAQdx property node not setting a property correctly?

[JoelGR]

I'm working with a Prosiclica EC1380 CCD camera. The IMAQdx tools are working great. However, I'm having a problem setting the shutter speed. I'm using the IMAQdx property node to set the gain, but for some reason it doesn't set the shutter speed correctly. Any clues?

Hi Joel,

Does the shutter control work properly in MAX? What mode is the shutter in? I tried it here with a Prosilica EC750 and it worked as expected in both Absolute and Relative mode through the property node. In relative the range was between ~0.00002 and 1.0. In relative it is between 1 and 4095. Is the value you are using matching the mode you wish to use?

See the attached diagram showing how I was using it. For simplicity the example is not querying the available range dynamically.

Eric,

I'm not sure why it's working now, but it is. The only thing that is different is that I changed the inputs to the property node from controls to constants, like you have in your example. Now, it works!

Thanks.

Best,
Joel
