10fps image acquisition and processing

[Bernd R.]

Hi, I use the VIs attached to acquire images. But it is not fast enough. I need 10fps and it gives me only 2fps without the while loop. With the loop it's as fast as I set it up in the Measurement and Automation Explorer, but then the images don't get through to processing. CPU Usage is not more than 25% so I hope you can help me.
Thanks

Since you are not using any Vision processing functions in the VI you posted, I assume that by "processing" you mean displaying your images in the image display control on the LabVIEW front panel. If so, I may have an idea of what is happening. LabVIEW does not automatically update the screen each time data is wired to the image display control. The Knowledge Base explains several ways to increase the update rate.

I hope this helps!

Thanks for your answer. It seemed to have been a programming problem, which I was able to solve. It would be great if you could help me with something else Dawna. I use a Basler A602f camera to acquire images of dispensed droplets. The dispense pump triggers the camera through the RJ-45 Jack of the camera every time a droplet is dispensed. But I don�t know how to configure the trigger in LabVIEW. My application is running, but nothing happens. Please see attachment.
Thank you
