Axis Camera Freezes

[Greg McKaskle]

The images from the camera are read on port 2 and written on port 1, requiring a task or thread to do the transfer. If your program loads up the cRIO sufficiently, it may be that the task is starved and doesn't send the images. I suppose another symptom of this would be that when it comes back, it will be lagged by several seconds.

This year, the rules and electronics allow for the camera to be directly connected to the external switch, and to allow the images to be read directly from the dashboard. You may want to investigate as it frees up some amount of cRIO CPU and should have less lag.
