I need help acquiring a stack from a Camera Link framegrabber.
What I Need
=============
I need to be able to collect, say, 100 frames of imagery into an ImageJ
stack. If I can do that then I would be VERY HAPPY!
Setup
========
Framegrabber = National Instruments PCIe-1427 (camera link)
Camera = putting out 1024x768 8-bit monochrome (progressive) at 30 Hz
National Instruments has some example C-programs to grab frames (but not
store them) and the camera imagery is getting displayed perfectly well
in the example programs. So the framegrabber card is working just fine.
Problem
=========
I can't get any of the ImageJ IMAQ examples to properly work.
1st try
========
The "IMAQ_Native" at
http://bij.isi.uu.nl/It sort of works but for some reason it is failing to fill the image
window. Indeed, the image is in quarters.
Top-Left = a 512x384 image but with the full FOV
Top-Right = again a 512x384 image but with the full FOV although they
appear to be different camera pixels
Bottom-Left = blank
Bottom-Right = blank
D'oh! It almost works and "boy!" would I have been happy if it had. I
don't know what's wrong with the image and the IMAQ function calls don't
give me any handles to turn. Perhaps there are more functions in this
library but the documentation is very poor.
2nd try
========
The "Acquire_IMAQ" plugin example at
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/imaq.htmlSimply running the example plugin didn't work.
The documentation discusses how to recompile the acquisition package but
"YUCK!" I am not that competent with C-programming.
Sincerely,
Dwight Bartholomew
