How to get the visual applet (.va) associated with Acq_SingleCXP6x4AreaGray example?

    I would like to get a copy of the VA design used to build the Acq_SingleCXP6x4AreaGray example (C:\Program Files\SiliconSoftware\Runtime5.6.0\Dll\mE5-MA-VCX-QP\Acq_SingleCXP6x4AreaGray.dll). There are a couple of features in this example that I would like to duplicate in my own project and I haven't found where they are located within the other examples.


    I originally thought this example in the runtime folder was associated with the SingleCXP6x4AreaGray8 example included with the VisualApplets_3.1 examples (C:\Program Files\SiliconSoftware\VisualApplets_3.1\Examples\Acquisition\BasicAcquisition\mE5-MA-VCX-QP\Area\SingleCXP6x4AreaGray8.va) but it does not appear to be so. The SingleCXP6x4AreaGray8.va is missing quite a few of the features including the Image Selector and Camera Simulator I would like to see.

    Dear matt1238,

    Since the Acquisition Applets have an additional parameter layer in between, those are not part of the VA-Design examples we provide. At the same time these are internally very complex.

    A precise camera simulator can get implemented by:
    CreateBlankImage and ImageValves : one for PixelClock, LineRate and FrameRate...
    With a ModuloCount and ImageNumber in combination you can make specific rolling patterns.

    Image Selector is based on ModuloCount and RemoveImage, when I understand you request precisely.

    Do you have a direct contact to a VA Field Application Engineer at Basler in your region?
    An FAE can give you a better insight into it.

    Best regards,

    Hi Bjorn,


    Thank you for the response and info. I figured out what I needed from the example and was able to recreate it in my own VA. I was really just trying to troubleshoot some other issues I am having and comparing to the example was one of the options I was pursuing. I was thinking that my problems might have been caused by my build environment and wanted to verify this by building the example applet so I could test it out. I understand the additional parameter layer you mentioned and complexity so no problem with not being able to provide the VA design. Either way I am past that point now so I don't need the example VA anymore - I got the image select to work and have a live camera that I can adjust parameters on so no need for the camera simulator.


    I do not have a direct contact to a VA Field Application Engineer at Basler. I have submitted a trouble ticket for an issue I was having with building VAs using Visual Applets 3.1 on Windows 10. I was told to go through the vendor/supplier the card I am using was bought from. This hasn't really gone very well as they are just acting as a middleman so there is a delay between messages and responses. Also, the best solution they could come up with for the problems I was having was "upgrade to a newer version". This wasn't what I was hoping for.


    Is there a way I can get in contact with an FAE directly to sort through the main problem I am having (Timeout Error code: -2120 on VAs with more complexity than just simple image acquisition and selection)?


    Thanks,

    Matt
