Why Can't Get Color Images from My ADS Pyro IEEE1394 Camera

Dear Kyle !

We have solved thw problem !!!
There so need for a further support. All is working well.

FYI:

The file 01NIIMAQ1394.llb must exist in the folder :
National Instruments/Imaq Vision Builder 6/program/acq_mod/

Many thanks for your assistance and thank you very much for this help
!

sincerely,

stephan

Dear Keyle,

Thanks for your response. Now, we have a running XP Home Edition
Notebook machine.
We have installed first LabVIEW6.0i then ADVANCED IMAQ VISON >
IEEE1394 for IMAQ beta2 + MAX2.2 and finally
VISION BUILDER 6.0
We have observe the VISION BUILDER support during the custom
installation process of NI-IMAQ 1394 b2 and unfortunately we running
in the same problem and could not use the great VISION BUILDER
together with our
IEEE1394 camera. We see a big opportunity to develop our apllications
faster and improve the time to market.

It is possible to enclose the difficult situation ?
Up to now, we are very happy to see colors in MAX and
LV.

Yes, we notice that we use a beta driver and we could not expect that
it works perfect. But you wrote, that you have a running VISION
BUILDER support with a XP machine and we are in a good mood to read
this.

We appreciate your help in this manner and thanks again

Stephan.  I have the beta2 installer running on my XP machine and the
interface shows up in Vision Builder 6.  However, the camera interface
will only show up in Vision Builder if it shows up and in working in
MAX.  Also, I believe Vision Builder 6 is required for the 1394 driver
to appear.

If you have Vision Builder 6 and the camera is acquiring images in
MAX, then the 1394 driver probably didn't add support for Vision
Builder 6.  Please run the installer again and choose to do a Custom
install.  The next menu will give you a list of software to support
with NI-IMAQ 1394.  Make sure the Vision Builder 6 option is
<b>not</b> crossed out and then continue the installation.  This will
install support for Vision Builder 6 and hopefully fix the problem.

If the problem persists, please let me know.

Dear Kyle,

We have recieved the IEE1394 Driver 1.1beta2 and
we see color in the T&M explorer and LabVIEW 6.0 aswell
!!
It is good to know, that the camera works in color mode.
Unfortunately, the VisonBuilder support does not run with the beta2
driver and we see only the simulation mode.
We have update the Win98SE machine to Win2000 SP2+ one and all works
well.
We appricate the perfekt support at ni.

warm regards,

Stephan

Dear Kyle

It sound good !
Thank you for your response. We have recieved the IEEE1394 1.1 beta
driver.
Unfortunately, we are not able to install this driver on a Win98SE
machine.
If we start setup.exe it appears a error : unable to load niresdeu.dll
and the installation
stops immediatley.
We have beem tested the installation procedure on a Win2000 machine
and it works fine,
but we would like to use a Win98SE machine as well.

Please, could you help us again ?

We appreciate your help in this case and hope to read from you !

best regards,

Stephan

Dear Kyle,

It was a pleasure to read your fast response.
We are very happy to find the right person at NI.
We think National Instruments is one of the best companies with its
employees.
The color mode is extremly imprtand for our business.
We are curios about it !

have a nice day and many thanks for your input !

Stephan.
I have the PYRO WebCam working in color on my Windows 2000 machine.  I
had to upgrade to Service Pack 2 and then install the new IMAQ 1394
beta driver.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure which one fixed the problem.
I recommend updating Windows and if that doesn't fix the problem, then
try the new beta driver.  To receive the new driver, please go to
www.ni.com/ask and call the toll free number that comes with the web
generated service request number.  One of the IMAQ engineers in the
group will give it to you.

Please let us know if the problem persists.

Stephan.  We have an Orange IBOT in house which we used to verify that
the solution in the document you found works.  On a related note, we
will receive an ADS Pyro camera in house this week to work on the
exact same problem you're seeing with the color.  We should have a
solution shortly.
