Issue Details

When trying to grab images from my camera in NI MAX, I get the following IMAQdx error: 
Error 0xBFF69013: "Requested buffer is unavailable"


Solution

This error typically occurs when the timeout is set to 0. This can be fixed by setting the timeout value back to its default value which will usually be 5000 milliseconds.
