Button does not respond (with attachment)

Sorry, I misunderstand some of the minor details of your code. To make it up to you, I made a few quick modifications to show what I meant (LabVIEW 7.1). Maybe some of my comments become clearer when looking at the code. 🙂

(I did not have some of your subVIs, so I winged a few things. Seems to work).

Notice that It is not a good idea to use local variables to built arrays, because your generate extra data copies and force a switch to the UI thread. Shift registers are much more efficient.

I use the picture.mouseMove, etc. events instead of the entire VI. I don't think you want to record outside the picture area anyway.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Dave,

To compare the alternatives for the formatting and saving, I wrote a small side-by-side comparison in our recreational forum (Breakpoint).

The thread is titled Rube Goldberg Code. 🙂
