It would be helpful if the IMAQ Particle Analysis VI took as inputs:
Max Number of Particles
Maximum Analysis Time
It could then use these parameters to decide when to quit processesing the image and report back that it did not complete the operation via a boolean output or enumeration that indicates why it did not complete the processing.
In an automated vision system used count defects it is possible that the sample under test has an enormous amount of defects. In that case the user might want to call the sample grossly defective and they do not care if the exact number of defects (particles) are reported. Likewise, if the automated system has a fixed time frame over which it needs to process a sample this input would guard against that time frame being exceeded.
Any idea that has not received any kudos within a year after posting will be automatically declined.
