My system sending 2000 images per second to camera, how can I record the images

OK. Then, you need to specify how the camera is interfaced and whether you plan to use NI Vision or not.

Are you joking? How could you get 2000/s data items from a 30/s device?

This is obviously impossible, and as Norbert pointed out the bandwidth required would be impossible to obtain in any case.

Jack, you cannot send images to the camera. A camera, by definition, is a sensor (transducer). So it cannot sink data. It can "only" generate data.

As you already stated, the camera is specified for 30fps. So the camera can generate up to 30 images per second, each image consisting of "pixels" which cover some brightness/color information.

I think you are using wrong terms in describing your task....

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I want to capture all the 2000 images sent to the camera per second.

Is there any way to do this?

Still not understanding... sending any images TO a camera is like sending keystrokes TO your keyboard...

Streaming 30 fps to disk is no problem.

But I think we need more info.  You are somehow projecting 2000 images per second.  And you want to record every image with a camera that can only do 30 fps?  You are going to need something far faster.  Those types of high-speed cameras exist, but you will pay a pretty penny for them.  Here is an example:
