who knows how to output some text once labview detects something I want using pattern matching(Vision assistant)?

The text is something like"Yes, this is a coin"

Thanks!

I know how.

And if you could be a bit more specific in what you want to do, I might be able to give you some advice.

Thankyou  sooo much!

I bacically want to capture the year on different coins using pattern matching and tell what the year is. Once it matches and captures the specific year, I wanna ouput the year. for example"2008". I have my VI file attached. Could you make some adjustments for me to display the year? Btw, do you know how to make an excel file to collect all years info  if i read year from some coins one by one?

Appreciate it!!!!

Forget the attachment.

I attached a SubVI which I used to place an overlay next to a Pattern, found by a Pattern Match before:

As you can see, you simply pass the image reference and the Array of Matches to the VI along with the String you want to have as an overlay next to the Match.

I also modified your VI a bit, but didn't test it. I created an Array of clusters, each elment containing the template path along with the respective text.

Please note that this is just a hint!
