IMAQ pause?!

[MrNewb]

hey everyone,

I have a simple program where I grab frames with Dalsa C640. I need my program to have the ability to pause/resuming the Frame Grabbing with a button click. 

What would be the simpliest way to do it? Do i have to stop the grab and then resume it? is there a pause option in IMAQ?

thanks!

Hi MrNewb,

There is no dedicated IMAQ pause VI, but you could create this behavior by inserting a case structure around your IMAQdx get image VI. The image below is of our simple Low-Level Grab.vi example with a case structure added in that allows the user to choose when images are acquired.

Something like this should give you the behavior you are looking for.

Best regards,

Here is the code to make this setup work
