Note
Depending on your hardware configuration, compiling may take 30 minutes to an hour.
10. In the Project Explorer window, double-click
1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with Frame Trigger
(Host).vi
under My Computer to open the host VI. The VI uses the NI PXIe-7965R as the FPGA
target. If you are not using the NI PXIe-7965R, complete the following steps to change the FPGA
target.
a.
In the host VI front panel window, select
Window»Show Block Diagram
to open the VI
block diagram.
b.
On the block diagram, right-click the Open FPGA icon (PXIe-7965R) and select
Configure
Open FPGA VI Reference
.
c.
In the Configure Open FPGA VI Reference window, click the
Browse Project
button in the
Open VI section.
d.
In the Select VI window that opens, expand the tree view for your device, select the VI under
your device and click
OK
.
e.
Click
OK
in the Configure Open FPGA VI Reference window.
f.
Save the VI.
11. On the front panel, select your FlexRIO device from the
RIO Device
drop-down listbox.
12. In the
Image Width
and
Image Height
spin boxes, enter the values that match the camera output.
13. The value of the
Trigger Pulse Width (us)
spin box will control the pulse width of the frame
trigger that is sent to the camera on Camera Link control line 1. Set this value to satisfy the pulse
width requirements of the camera in use.
14. Set the
Start Serial Server
button to true to enable the serial server. The button illuminates when
true. You can use the serial server to communicate with the camera, and configure the camera using
the configuration utility provided by the camera manufacturer.
15. On the front panel of the
1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with Frame Trigger (Host).vi
, click the
Run
button to run the VI. Check if the
Module Enabled
and
Initalized
status indicators are lit. If
Module Enabled
is not lit, verify the NI 1483 adapter module is properly connected to the
NI FlexRIO FPGA module. If
Initalized
is not lit, verify the camera is properly connected and
powered on.
