Opens a camera, queries the camera for its capabilities, loads a camera configuration file, and creates a unique reference to the camera.
Use the IMAQdx Close node when you are finished with the reference.
Name of the camera you wish to open. The default value is cam0.
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
Default: No error
Mode of the camera used during image broadcasting. Open a camera in controller mode to actively configure and acquire image data. Open a camera in listener mode to passively acquire image data from a session that was opened in controller mode on a different host or target computer. The default value is Controller.
Unique reference to the camera. session out is the same as session in.
