Hi,
After searching in the forum and over internet, I finally decide to post my question.
I'm looking forward to control a webcam via usb with Labview 8.5. I want to be able to have a full control over the camera settings, particularly for acquisition. I also need to acquire the raw image or raw data composing the image. So I can't afford any degradation of the image by any out of control process. I think that the NI-IMAQ software is not really suited for my requirements right?
As I don't have the Vision package, I thought that I should build my own driver with NI-VISA. In fact I did it and I think it is working well. I'm able to see all the properties of my webcam with a simple VI.
But then come the question: how can I acquire images and control the settings. The company told me that they are using generic UVC (USB Video Class) and that no custom commands were used. I downloaded all the information on the USB-IF website, but it seems to me that there is still something I don't understand to get going...
Is there anybody who can please help me with that problem? Any simple example would be very welcome...or any other solution.
After controlling a webcam, my ultimate goal would be to control a digital camera...I suppose this should be pretty similar...
Thank you very much for your help,
Frank
