Hello David,




You are correct that both firewire
cameras are sharing the card?s resources. 
You will need to see what bandwidth your firewire board can handle.&nbsp; Our IEEE 1394 interface (<a href="http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/13176" target="_blank">PCI-8252</a>) can handle up to 400 Mb/s of data transfer. &nbsp;
Depending on the combined bandwidth of your cameras, you are probably exceeding
this limit.&nbsp; Daniel has posted a possible
work around <a href="http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=200&amp;message.id=3574&amp;requireLogin=False" target="_blank">here</a> regarding packet size. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If you are looking into purchasing a second
firewire card, you will probably also need to check if you are limited by the
PCI bus rate which is roughly 528MB/s.&nbsp;&nbsp; I
hope this helps.

I am using CVS 1456. I tried to connect two cameras using the
necessary function grab and made setups in MAX so that the addition of
the packages did not exceed 4096.However the error ?insufficient to transfer engine resources? continues appearing.Then I reduced so that the addition of the packages did not exceed 1024, and then functioned.However the transferencia tax was very low and my program did not obtain to read all the images that I need.What I must make to function adequately?Somepeople has some idea?Greetings

Sorry Johann,I believe that I was not clearlyBut I already tried to make this.I already configured both camera that the addition of the packages did not exceed 4096 bytes, but I did not function.In MAX already I modified some parametros, but it only functioned when the addition is below of 1024 bytes.Also
I made the configuration through labVIEW and in the same way the error
?insufficient you transfer engine resources? appears.I am sending some images gotten in printscrem of the screen, and the software that I prepared to make the tests.GreetingsEduardo
