Problem with adding IMAQ devices to RTSI on MAX

[pg41]

Hi, Need help immediately.WE have a camera, PCI 1429 and 1428 IMAQ board and PCI 6221 DAQmx board . To trigger the 1429 with the 6221 we connected the RTSI cable physically between them.For this to work, in MAX under 'devices and interface' one has to right click on the RTSI to add devices. For us, only the 6221 is shown and not the 1428 or 1429.. But they have been installed on the system as they are displayed in MAX under the 'NI IMAQ devices' heading . So how to go about this to connect the 1429 to RTSI? So how do i trigger the camera through 1429 if i wm unable to initialize it in MAX with RTSI? Thanks!

Hi,

There is no configuration required in MAX in order to trigger the 1429 through a RTSI cable. As you have already physically connected the cable between your 6221 and 1429, just make sure that you configure RTSI triggering in software correctly. Using the IMAQ Configure Trigger3 VI , specify the trigger 'Type' to be RTSI and the 'Line Number' to correspond to the line on which you are sending the pulse(s) from the 6221.

Hope that helps you out.
