Acquiring line scan from e2v octoplus camera using NI 1429 PCI-e camera link card.

[ARUDRA]

Hi There,

I am new to this board. I have a e2v octoplus connected to a camera link NI PCI-e 1429 card. My problem is it is taking too much time, of the order of 70 mS to capture an image of size 2048x1, with a resolution of 2 bytes per pixel. Thus far i have used only the example codes made available by National Instruments. Would be most grateful for any advice. I will also post the code used if need me.

Best Regards,

If I understand correctly, you are trying to read one line at a time from the card.  I have found this to be a bottleneck.  If you read multiple lines at once, it is much faster.  Perhaps ten lines at a time.

Also make sure you are setting up continuous acquisition, and not initializing the acquisition every time.

If this doesn't help you, posting the code would be useful.
