How Do I Create a Camera File for a Single-Tap Interlaced Digital Camera?

Hardware: Image Acquisition (IMAQ)>>Digital Image Devices

Problem:
I have a digital camera that outputs odd/even fields at different periods of time on the same tap instead of outputting two taps of odd/even fields on the same pixel clock. How do I configure this interlacing mode in the Camera File Generator?

Solution:
Interlacing means different things for analog and digital cameras. The described type of interlacing is typically used with analog cameras since most digital cameras output the odd/even fields on the same pixel clock.  The Camera File Generator cannot handle this type of interlacing. However, you can copy and paste the interlacing section of the following camera file into your camera file:

Cohu DSPX-2000 Camera File

The digital interlacing section uses the following code:

Enables {
    Mode (0x2)
    HEnable (0x0)
    VEnable (0x0)
    }
Interlaced (Yes) {
    Current (Yes)
    Mode (Frame)
    Sequential (Even)
    }
