Re: Camera Problems: not connecting to the CRIO

If you just want to see how the Rectangular Target Processing sample runs, open the project in Labview and click the Run button.

You enter the camera's IP address in the sample program's Front Panel when it's running. You will need network access to the camera (if your computer and camera are both plugged into the DLink you are good).

You can then explore the example. Try clicking on the Color or Intensity tab and then click the reflective tape on the image of your target. It is pretty cool how easy this works.

Try lighting the reflective tape by holding a light source right by the camera. This greatly helps to find the target. If you are locating by color, colored LED lights also help tons. We ordered these from SuperBrightLEDs

1 | AEx-x: LED Angel Eye Headlight Accent Lights| $ 5.95 |
AE60-R15: 60mm Diameter Red

good luck!
