Hello. First off, if my post would be more appropriate in a different subforum please let me know and I'll repost.
I'm very new to LabVIEW and struggling to implement triggered frame grabbing from our Camerlink cameras.
Relevant Hardware:
- PXIe-1088 Chassis
- PXIe-8861 Computer
- PXIe-1435 Frame Grabber
My end goal is to accept an external TTL trigger signal (ideally via the PXIe-8861 SMB connector), use it to create a trigger on the Cameralink control line, capture the resultant frame, then write it to a file. I think along the way as a mechanism to help me learn LabVIEW and NI-IMAQ I want to have an intermediate step where I use a button control to produce a single trigger. Ultimately there will be other data collected and sync'd using the trigger signal, but that's not my immediate concern.
So far I've been able to set up a simple VI that can connect to the camera and display frames when the camera is using its internal trigger but I feel like I've hit a brick wall when it comes to routing a button to a Cameralink trigger. If anyone can point me in the right direction for getting started with this stuff I'd really appreciated it.
