IC LabVIEW Extension Reference: IC_OpenDevice

IC_OpenDevice

Opens the specified device with IC Imaging Control and retrieves the video norms, video formats, input channels and frame rates provided by the device.


Bool in Color determines the format of the image buffers. The format can either be RGB32 or Y8 (monochrome).
Reference in ICImagingControl In is the reference to an instance of IC Imaging Control, which is used to open a video device.
String in Device is the name of the device to be opened.
Bool in If Live is true, the device is set to live mode after it was opened successfully.
Cluster in Error In describes error conditions that occurred before this VI or function was executed. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function was executed, the VI or function passes the Error In value to Error Out.
Reference out ICImagingControl Out returns the reference that was passed to ICImagingControl In.
Array of String out VideoNorms returns an array containing the names of the video norms supported by the opened device. If the device does not support video norms, an empty array is returned.
Array of String out VideoFormats returns an array containing the names of video formats supported by the opened device.
Array of String out ImputChannels returns an array containing the names of the input channels supported by the opened device. The array is empty, if the device does not support input channels.
Array of String out FrameRates returns an array, describing the supported frame rates of the opened device. The array is empty, if the device does not support frame rates.
Cluster out Error Out contains error information. If Error In indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function was executed, Error Out contains the error information that was passed to Error In. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function generates.
