Hello everybody. I have a 1427 framegrabber conected to Basler Ral2048-80Km trough camera link. My problem is to obtain images synchronized by one of the hard inputs conected to an external encoder. Up to now got only free running images. I appreciate any help whit that, I'm almost sure is something about the framegrabber config. Tks.

This is a solution, but it requires editing the camera file. Also, this is an IMAQdx solution. Since NI MAX is now using IMAQdx there is a copy of the IMAQ camera file in the path C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI-IMAQdx\Data The camera file generator program will edit the camera file in the IMAQ path C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI-IMAQ\Data But MAX creates a .icd file in \IMAQdx\ and links to the file in \IMAQ\ to get the camera attributes. This work is done in Camera File Generator: https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/documentation/supplemental/19/creating-a-camera-file-using-the-ni-camera-file-generator.html Control line 0 or CC1 needs a pulse defined by a selected attribute. In my example I send a serial command to the camera to switch to external trigger mode, and define a pulse. The pulse defined from two other attributes, but it can be fixed microsecond values. Save and open MAX. Select the camera file (right click on the camera and go to camera selection) I'm using NI MAX 19.5.0f0 In Camera attributes, select the attribute that defines the pulse. In FrameGrabberAttributes:: AcquisitionControls:: TriggerSelector = Line start TriggerMode = ON TriggerSource = Encoder TriggerDivider = 1 EncoderControlls:: EncoderDivider = What ever you want EncoderUseIOBoardInput = True if using the cameraLink IO expansion card !!! Some of the settings do not save in the .icd file. The EncoderUseIOBoardInput is not in the file. You must add a property node. AND even though some values are in the icd file, they will not be read when you open the camera in MAX. The Trigger mode is "ON" in the file, but will be off in MAX.
