read stacked tiff images generated by ImageJ

[ein]

Does anyone know how to use IMAQ ReadFile to read the stacked tiff file generated by ImageJ(as attached, 4 images in the stack)?

It seems possible but IMAQ ReadFile somehow only gives the first image of the stack file.

It isn't possible.  IMAQ ReadFile can only read the first.  You'll have to make ImageJ split up the images into individual files.

Hi Ein,

Randall is right.Unfortunately while .tif files are supported, multiple paged .TIF files are not supported by IMAQ Vision. If you must use this file format, I believe that there are many freeware or shareware programs that can allow you to split this file type into individual pictures. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Easiest way is to write a wrapper around libTIFF.  One person has done that here: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=417600
