Want to set my camera output 16bit greyscale

[plarq]

Hi All,

I am using a Guppy pro F-031b camera.

I want to let it output 16bits greyscale picture, so

1st .I set my camera as Format_7 Mode_6(partial image and mono 16) by writing the register. 

2nd .Then I set the IMAQ image type as grayscale(U16).

But I still got a 8bit picture.  What shall I do to solve this problem?

This is the first time I work with Labview. Any help is appreciate.

Thank you,

Best,

Wen

Hello Plarq,

Two things:

1. Wire the "Image Name" terminal of the "IMAQ create.vi" to the "Session In" terminal of the "IMAQdx open camera.vi" (This is not related to your question, but it is a better practice).

2. Now, in regards to your issue, check the following article which I hope can be helpful:

"Can the NI-IMAQ and NI-IMAQdx driver acquire true U16 images?"
