Solution
To load a configuration file to a FireWire, Gigabit Ethernet, GigE Vision, or USB 3.0 vision camera with IMAQdx, use the
IMAQdx Read Attributes VI.
When you connect your camera to your computer for the first time, its configuration file will be extracted from the camera and saved in
<Shared Documents>\National Instruments\NI-IMAQdx\Data. The file name should include the make, model and serial number of your camera, so you can identify the file should you have multiple cameras. Also, the file will have the file extension
.icd. You can open this file and edit the attributes in a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad. Once you have saved the file with the desired attribute values, you can then provide
IMAQdx Read Attributes VI the path to this file as seen below:
To save your current camera settings to a file, use IMAQdx Write Attributes VI.
