Hi Yu, Thank you for your prompt reply. Forgive me if my question sounds stupid. I was actually quite confused. Shouldn’t the adapter file be in *.cfg format? I installed the JAI software and Micro-manager separately. When installation finished, I clicked the exe files to open both of them. I don’t know where to find the dll files that you talked about. The JAI software is working fine with the camera. But I never successfully opened it in Micro-manager.

In fact, I already removed the Microsoft Studio which was used to compile the adapter for the camera. What I do know is that I can use micromanager to acquire image or video using this particular camera model. I vaguely remembered that I changed the source code of the adapter a little bit to make it work. Still exposure time is not configurable. You may also need to try different acquisition mode of the camera. In a word, I have a working dll file (the adapter for the camera), and it worked with at least one of the acquisition mode of the camera. If you want to try the dll file with your camera, I will be happy to send it to you. I still wish I had wrote down what I did to make it work. I must have put some comments in the source code, but the source code is missing as well... I know this is bad bad practice... > > > > Best, > > Liu Yu > > On Mar 3, 2015 7:15 PM, "mugger [via Micro-Manager]" <[hidden email] <x-msg://150/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=7584877&i=0>> wrote: > Yu Liu wrote > Hello, > I am using a JAI RM 4200 GE camera with GigE connection. It works with JAI control tool correctly and can be detected using the sample configuration files provided by the developer of the adapter. The image from the camera can be seen through the "live" window. > One thing I am trying to figure out is how to set the exposure time. It looks like I cannot change the exposure time; the exposure time setting always goes back to 0 after changing it. As a result, all the images acquired are just black pixels. I tried toggling Auto Shutter on and off and it doesn't seem to make a difference. > I also noticed that if I tried to modify this configuration file through the wizard, I couldn't do anything meaningful. In another word, all the lists remain empty through all the steps, and I have nothing to do other than clicking Next.
