Provide IMAQ image to a third party dll without saving it

[Anagha.G]

I am using a third party dll in my application, which requires a path of BMP file to get the result out. So I need to save an image acquired from the camera and read it to get the output from dll.

To speed up my application , I am thinking to save this time and trying to give the image directly to the dll without saving it. But as it is a third party dll I dont know how to solve my purpose. Is there any way of doing this? Please let me know if possible.

Try using a ram drive instead, much easier to work with. You setup a drive which operates in RAM and windows just sees it as another hard drive. It runs at ram speed and you don't need to change your application.
