How do I capture a series of frames using the 1409?

[bobjones]

I want to capture a series of frames using the 1409 onto any possible format(BMP,JPEG, etc...) , but I can't figure out how. Can somebody please help?

First, make sure your camera works fine in MAX. If you can acquire images, you are all set.

Take a look at the IMAQ examples. You need to use a sequence to acquire the images. After you have acquired the images, you can wire them into a for loop and save each one in whatever format you want.

Bob,

There are two ways of doing this, depending wether you have NI-IMAQ only or if you have the IMAQ Vision toolkit. In either case, you will find a couple of examples in the Vision >> File I/O section of NI Developer Zone. For the way you wrote your question I assume you don't have IMAQ Vision, well, there is an example in that section for saving images when you don't have the Vision toolkit.

I hope this helps.
