IMAQ TIFF Filenames

[ShaneJ]

Hi, I have a question about naming output TIFF files using IMAQ. We are set up to take a sequence of images (of a sample controlled by a motorized stage) and save them as tiffs. Basically, all I need is to name the files sequencially (ie 1,2,3...). The movement is programmed in a loop, so I'm wondering if there is a way to wire the loop iteration to the filename of the tiff, so each iteration has a unique tiff file with its iteration number? I can explain more if need be.

If this is a LabView query you will have more luck posting your question to the LabView board.

Hello,

If you are indeed asking this question in regard to LabVIEW programming, you can do this with just a few VIs.  First, you will need to convert the iteration count to a string by using "Number to Decimal String".  You can then concatenate the base filename, the iteration count string, and the extension ".tiff", by using "Concatenate Strings".  Finally, you can convert this string to a path by using "String to Path".  You can then supply this path as an input to "IMAQ Write TIFF File".
