Open Bitmap image

[Water]

Hi,

Just wanted to know if anybody knows is there any NI function(from either NI Vision or NI IMAQ or from NI IMAQ for 1394) to load Bitmap image in Visual C++? I would later need to do some processing with the image.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Water,

In NI Vision, you can use the imaqReadFile() function to load a bitmap from disk.  Once it has been read in, you can use the other NI Vision functions to process the image.

Hi,

THanks for your help!

I have followed your advice. However, I have hit another problem. I have tried to read through the examples provided in the IMAQ Vision and try to run them. But they gave me the error message, "unlicensed copy of IMAQ Vision". I am not too sure whether the copy I have is a licensed version or just a preview version.

I have checked on the MAX. IMAQ Vision is there with the following information IMAQ Version 7.1.1.4004. I seem to have the box containing the software with a certificate of ownership(NI Vision Development module). I kinda take over the computer and software(so I am not sure if this is considered a purchase). Any advice on what's wrong?

If you have a certificate of ownership, it should have a license number on it.  You need to run the NI License Manager from the Windows Start button -> Programs -> Nat Inst.  You have a few options, but online is the fastest and easiest.  You tell it which program you want to activate and enter the license number.  It is fairly easy and just takes a few minutes.
