Has U16 data acquisition been implemented in Imaq?

[Pratt]

Has U16 (unsigned 16 bit) data acquisition been implemented in NI-Imaq? There was a post last year saying this would be implemented in the next software release. I have the August 2009 version and it is not available.

Hello John,

This functionality has not been included with the NI-IMAQ driver yet and I am not aware of a date by which it will be included with the driver. The following post is fairly recent and offers a workaround: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=200&message.id=25585&requireLogin=False . I hope that helps.

Hi John,

Not sure if you're still interested in this or not, but as of VAS 2010 this feature has been implemented.  You can add the attribute "Unsigned16BitImage (Yes)" to your camera file to get this functionality.

Cheers,

Marti
