Re: error timeout image aquasition toolbox



Are you actually using the command "obj = videoinput('matrox', 1);" to create your video input object? If so, that is your problem. You are not telling the Meteor/II-Digital what type of camera is connected to it, so it doesn't know how to acquire the video that is being sent to it.

If you were using this sensor with other systems, you should have a camera file that works with your sensor. For Matrox, these are the DCF files that are used by Intellicam and other Matrox programs. You need to provide this DCF file as the third argument to the VIDEOINPUT command:

vid = videoinput('matrox', 1, 'C:\path\to\myDCFFile.dcf');

Hello everybody,

I've been trying many times &google for weeks before posting
here. I do it as last resort.

I try to interface my flat panel detector(7Mega pixels) which use Matrox Meteor 2/Digital frame grabber with Matlab Image Acqusition Toolbox.
This flat panel detector works same as CCD camera just that it is non standard camera with progressive scan.
The Matrox frame grabber card use MIL version 8.

I have test the frame grabber,it work well when using other system.

Matlab could recognize my frame grabber and I have test the frame grabber work well .
However, when I try using GETSNAPSHOT or GETDATA, a Timeout error is thrown. For example, I might execute

obj = videoinput('matrox', 1);
frame=getsnapshot(obj);

I check even the the obj is running and logging,the timeout error still occured.

When I use preview,it display blank and no data update.

I wonder can we change the timeout period?
