- we have connected the camera to the controller via the PWM cable
- we've connected the camera to the pc with the serial connection through com1, changed the baud rate to 115200 (etc)
- i trust labview & its driver have been installed properly
- both leds on the sensor light up when the camera is turned on

any ideas or suggestions - as wild as they may seem! - will greatly be appreciated at this moment i'm just about ready to pull my hair out

thanks...
Remember to use only one serial port on the camera at a time.

How's the charge on the backup battery?

Can you talk to the camera in hyper terminal?

Are you selecting the correct serial port out of the list?

Have you set the settings for the port in MAX?
