I need linking a serial port lightsource and an ethernet cable camera.  I am very new to labview and was wondering if anyone had any programs that I could start with instead of starting from scratch.  I would basically need to control the camera to take movies every x number of minutes of the course of a few hours while controlling the lightsource in sync as to not photobleach the sample.

Thanks!

Hi bhakimi,

Have you seen the Serial examples in the LabVIEW example finder?  Those might be a good starting spot for your application if no one posts another starting point for you.  Once the serial communication architecture exists, then worry about making sure that the sessions are linked.  If the camera and light source are controlled by the same VI, I think that will make this implementation the easiest.
