Hey,
I have a device that I'm moving using two servos. I'm controlling the motion using LabView. I want to capture the images of the device using MotionPro X3 high-speed camera (To track the position etc). So I need to synchronize the camera trigger and the motion using LabView. The software that comes with the camera (Motion Pro Studio) has the ability to allow the camera to be triggered using an external source. So I generated an analog signal using labview, and I connected a BNC cable from the analog output on the DAQ board to the camera. The camera needs at least 3V so it gets triggered, so I created a point-slider in labview, to increase the voltage from 0V to at least 3V. I got this part to work.
So now I'm trying to combine the camera control code with the motion control code. In the motion control VI, when I hit "Run" the device starts to move, but data (Position, forces etc) is only saved when I hit "Save Data". What I want to do is to trigger the camera when I hit "Save Data", and not when I run the program. Is there a way to increase the voltage from 0 to 3V when I hit the "Save Data" switch?
Thanks in advance. I appreciate it if you could help me as soon as possible. This is driving me crazy.
