IMAQ1394 GetVideoModes

Returns a list of video formats, modes, and frame rates supported by the camera.

IMAQ1394 Session In is a unique reference to the camera, which you can obtain with IMAQ1394 Init.
error in (no error) is a cluster that describes the error status before this VI executes. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI was called, this VI may choose not to execute its function, but just pass the error through to its error out cluster. If no error has occurred, then this VI executes normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the error handler VIs to look up the error code and to display the corresponding error message. Using the error in and error out clusters is a convenient way to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring the error output from one subVI to the error input of the next.
status is TRUE if an error occurred before this VI was called, or FALSE if not. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is zero or a warning code.

code is a number identifying an error or warning. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is zero or a warning code. Use the error handler VIs to look up the meaning of this code and display the corresponding error message.

source is a string that indicates the origin of the error, if any. Typically, source is the name of the VI in which the error occurred.

IMAQ1394 Session Out is a unique reference to the camera. IMAQ1394 Session Out is the same as IMAQ1394 Session In.
Video Modes is an array of video modes supported by the current camera.
Format is the format of the camera as defined by the IIDC specification. This parameter varies according to your camera.
Mode contains the image size and type as defined by the IIDC specification. Mode varies according to your camera.
FrameRate is the rate at which your camera acquires frames. This rate varies according to your camera.
VideoMode Name is the name of the video mode specified by Format, Mode, and FrameRate, such as "640 x 480 YUV4:2.2".
Current Mode is the index into the Video Modes array of the current mode used by the camera.
error out is a cluster that describes the error status after this VI executes. If an error occurred before this VI was called, error out is the same as error in. Otherwise, error out shows the error, if any, that occurred in this VI. Use the error handler VIs to look up the error code and to display the corresponding error message. Using error in and error out clusters is a convenient way to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring the error output from one subVI to the error input of the next.
status is TRUE if an error occurred, or FALSE if not. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is zero or a warning code.
