Binning issues with Apogee camera

[Balakumar Balasubramaniam]

Hi,

 I am using labview to interface to an Apogee 32ME camera. 

 I use Automaton open and use Icamera methods to set the exposure and obtain images and it works fine.

 But the moment I set any binning, it gives an unspecified error when I call the "Expose" method (that is when I am trying to expose the camera). I am not sure why this is so. Any help would be appreciated. I am posting the code along with this email.

 Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
 Bala

All I had to do was to set the NumX and NumY values to suitably reflect the binning. The camera is not smart enough to set these values itself.

I am leaving this thread for future references...

Hello,

Glad to hear you solved the problem, and thanks for posting - the next person to have this problem will hopefully find the solution here!

Hi,

I am having similar issues of binning. I am trying program an Apogee KX260e model using LabVIEW. I can use Automaton open and use Icamera methods to set the exposure and obtain images and it works fine. 

But like Bala said, when I try to bin the image to improve capture rate using the bin x and bin y commands, expose the image and then convert the variant to data, I get an error message. I would appreciate any help and a sample code if possible.

Thanks.

Hi Bala

 I am using labview to interface to an Apogee U2 camera. 

 I use Icamera methods to set the exposure and obtain images and it works fine.

 But the moment I set any binning  and I have some problem,It take image very fast and the images not as well as before.

Any help would be appreciated. I am posting the code along with this email.

 Thanks for your help!
