[developer help]

Hlo

I can create the IMAQ image out indicator in LabView 7.0 version, but how to create in LabView 6 version that function is not there in the front pannel function tool block

Hi ,
You may use the picture control as a indicator else you can use the IMAQ function for display to show the IMAQ out.

To elaborate a little bit more on the issue that you are seeing:

The image datatype (as well as the image display control) is something that is available in LabVIEW 7.0 and later. Before this version of LabVIEW, there were three methods for displaying images: using an intensity graph, a picture control, or using an IMAQ WinDraw (IMAQ Vision only). The following KnowledgeBase discusses this question:

KnowledgeBase 3EP9S6I3: Displaying Images with IMAQ and Vision

For the picture control, you will need to extract the pixel array, then call the Flatten Pixmap VI (Graphics and Sound palette), then feed that pixmap in to the draw function.

Hope this helps!
