Adding Auto-Focus & Depth Measurement to Measuring Microscope

[srecco]

Hello,

This is my first post and I consider myself a newbie with LabView, but I hope I can get some answers.  Here it goes.

I have a measuring microscope with X & Y stages driven by drive motors.  The CCD camera and objective lens assembly are mounted on a stage with the focus (Z-stage) and magnification stage driven by step motors.

My objectives are the following:

-Add autofocusing capability to my existing VI, such that the image will focus on a user selected region of interest (ROI).

-Calculate the depth between two part features that appear in separate ROIs.  

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!!
