[Doiron]

Overview

This example demonstrates how to add the current date and time as overlay to an image. 

Description

It is sometimes useful to add the data and time of the aquisition or other information to an image. This can be done using the Vision Development Module. This examples add the date and time, but can also easily modified to display other information.

Requirements

 Software

• LabVIEW Base Development System 2012 (or compatible)
• NI Vision Development Module 2012 (or compatible)
• If running in a Real-Time context, you will need the LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2012 (or compatible)

 Hardware

• No hardware is necessary to use this example VI

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Download and open the attached ZIP-file
2. Run the VI

Hi JL2010,

In order to save an image with overlay you must first merge the overlay. You can see this in another example posted here: http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-4372

I found this by searching "save overlay" at ni.com, it was the 9th result.

With Warm Regards,
