What you are trying to capture. Is that a front panel image or any other thing you want to capture as an image?

Hi

You can try the following VI which will create a file in the directory where the VI is located.

Hello,

When you use a Path control, you can access his properties by left click on it. Or if you use an Express VI "File Dialog" you will get prompt to choose if you want to select a file or a folder, and even if you only want new one or existing one.

Here this dilaog in a Frenc LabVIEW version.

Open my attached VI and double click the express vi.
