Hi Armank,

1) You will want to set-up the camera for a Grab rather than a Snap.

2) You may be able to use the ColorImageToArray VI in LabVIEW to convert the image to a 2D array of numbers.  Then evaluate the numbers to see if the image is red.

Unfortunately I don't have a specific block diagram to show this.  I would strongly suggest posting your question on our Machine Vision Discussion Forum located here: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board?board.id=200

Our Vision Application Engineers and other vision customers monitor that forum and should be able to answer your questions more completely than I.

Make sure to add the RSS capabilities of this user group so you can be notified of new discussions.
