How to build an optimized color image in IMAQ from R, G and B vectors?

[max_tomatis]

Dear all, I have the R, the G and the B elements of a RGB image contained in three different vectors.

I am currently using the program in attachment to obtain the color image in IMAQ.

This program works perfectly but I would like a faster program without two nested loops.

Is there a better solution in IMAQ?

Best regards

Max

Maybe you prefer running 3 x IMAQ Replace Color Plane.

I prefer - as you have the color channels in their native 2D array U8 form - using the LabVIEW join (because of the fewer wiring and the speed) and write the resulting 2D array of U32 to the image.  The performance is excellent - especially when highlighting the execution. 

If anyone has a better implementation: I am interested in it.

Dear Guenter Mueller,  thank you for the reply.

I have tried your suggestion and it works fine.

One question why do you use a u16 conversion in your attached example ?
