We have recently hooked up a boson 320 thermal camera for some ir camera research. The camera supports two video modes 640x512 I420 and 320x256 Y16. We have been able to get the camera to stream video using the I420 mode, but have not using the Y16 mode. Unfortunately, we need to get the Y16 format as this contains the raw camera data but the I420 does not.
Under NI Max, there are two video modes present, the I420 and a 320x256 unknown. When trying to read using the 320x256 mode it gives an error code of 0x80040217 and states its an undetermined error. Using the vision express module, and going into its front panel, I can set
AcquisitionAttributes::VideoMode = "320x256 Y16 60.00fps" but this doesn't work, whearas
AcquisitionAttributes::VideoMode = "640x512 I420 60.00fps" works no problem.
I know the camera supports this mode, as I can see video in the Y16 mode using the manufactures application, but have no way to integrate with everything else I'm doing within labview.
Any help will be appreciated.
