vision assistant acquires only small image

Hi all,

 

I've been working with Vision Assistant 2013 for a week or so.  When I first started, I could see the full 2048 x 2048 image from the Camera Link camera.

After some research and investigation, I decided that I needed to reduce the size of the image from the camera.  I changed it to 800 x 700 pixels.

Vision Assistant 2013 was still working for me.

 

I tried a couple of filters, exported some LabVIEW, everything was working well.

 

The other day, as I was working with the Vision Assistant, I acquired another image from my camera, as I had been doing.

Unexpectedly, the image displayed was only 25 pixels by 25 pixels.  This was not a zoom problem, but actually the number of pixels captured.

When I go to MAX, and selected the indicated camera, I get the full 800 x 700 pixels.

When I run my LabVIEW application, I get the full 800 x 700 pixels.

When I run Vision Assistant, I get 25 by 25 pixels.

 

I'd like to use the Vision Assistant to investigate other filters, manipulations, edge detection, etc.

It is a very useful tool, but not when it is only capturing 25 x 25 pixels.

 

Has anyone else seen this behavior?

 

I'm using an NI PCIe-1433 frame grabber card.

I'm also using a Point Grey Gazelle camera.

I don't think it's hardware related, as MAX and the LabVIEW app are working correctly.

 

I did an uninstall/reinstall without any change.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

Jeff

The assistant started working again.

No good reason, it just worked again.

 

Keepin' my fingers crossed.
