Configuring Your IEEE-1394 Camera
You can use National Instruments Measurement & Automation Explorer
(MAX) to configure your IEEE-1394 camera.
Set your camera’s properties by right-clicking on your camera in the IMAQ
IEEE-1394 Devices folder in the MAX configuration tree. Select
Properties
from the pop-up menu. Adjust your camera’s attributes and
click
OK
to save the camera file.
The camera information is saved in a camera file, which the LabVIEW VIs
use to select a camera and its supported attributes.
