Dear friends;

I want to use PCI-1424  , and labview 5.1 to capture the image,  But I can not find some functions in labview to capture, display and save the image.Can you be kind to share some examples or provide some information.

Another question is how I CAN display the image in the front panel.

thanks so much

Hello yangshang,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments!  To acquire images from the 1424 you will need NI IMAQ 2.5.1 or later.  One thing to note is that in LabVIEW 5 we only had the ability to view an IMAQ image as a pop up window.  This VI is called "IMAQ Windraw".  This will pop up a separate window that will display your picture.  If you need to view the picture on the front panel you can try saving the image as a file (BMP, JPG, etc) then use the LabVIEW Graphics and Sound VI's to Read a picture file in and then wire the picture to a picture control on the front panel.  Let me know if you have anymore questions.  Good Luck.
