My labview 2014 SP1 image capture tool has been in use for multiple years since I wrote it. It has successfully streamed and captured upon request multiple gigabytes of image files for IMAQ and IMAQdx cameras, and GEV cameras. Back in late 2015 I had a problem where connected GEV cameras no longer streamed in video. That was fixed after updating the drivers in my LV2014 install. The problem here is on two different workstations, one named grab1 the other is picasso, both were working previously, well okay, last I recall them working with RS-170 cameras was mid last year. No further NI LabVIEW updates have been installed, and these workstations are on an isolated lab network, meaning there's no outside world connection to the internet. Somehow I now have a similar problem with the IMAQ side of things on both machines and I know where it fails, and I have read other posts and did all the suggested things others tried. The two workstations both have LabVIEW 2014 SP1 and Vision Acquisition, I know MAX is v15 on grab1 and I believe v17 on picasso. Identical error -1074397153 which in short is an unrecognizable video source. In MAX on both machines the video is streaming in perfectly. I tried white and black levels, tried creating a new RS-170 camera file, and as of this morning this is consistent with 5 different manufacturers RS-170 cameras, so I cannot say it's only one model of manufacturer.
The issue is with the VI used to set up for a grab session, that's the one causing the error, which occurs when I tell my tool to connect on a chosen interface. I was trying to get a jpg file to attach, but so far that's on my phone and my office network seems to be dumping the file.
While waiting on all you brilliant people to think and reply, I am going to try a connection with a camera link camera to make sure it isn't all IMAQ camera types I work with.
Any ideas?
