NI IMAQ acquiring image sequence/video

[Ashok 63]

I have a PCI/PXI-1407 board from NI with NI-IMAQ Configuartion
utility version 2.1. I can view images using this software and CCD
camera. However, I can not save the images or videos.
I also have a LabView version 5.1 on the same computer. Could you please
help me finding VIs or upgrading my NI-IMAQ software so that I could save
these images real time for later processing? The camera can take 30 frames per second. I need
to save these frames separately with least compression possible to retain
the quality of images and also I would prefer monochrome images over
colored ones.

I appreciate your time and help.

Hello Ashok,

IMAQ Vision includes the ability to save image to file.
- See www.ni.com/vision for more details.

When streaming video to disk, the transfer rates over the PCI bus are significantly greater than most other operations, so keep this in mind when running other operations in parrallel on the same computer.

Regarding the compression, the 2 formats I would recommend would be .bmp (no compression) and .png (compression without loss of information).
