To save image, what tool kit do I need to buy?

[Jee]

Hi.
My system is consist of IMAQ PCI-1407, Pulnix camera,IMAQ 2.1, Labview 5.1 and NT as operating system. I think that I have to buy another software like a NI Vision software to capture and save any formation of video clip. Then, what tool kit(software) should I buy? I would appreciate with your prompt reply.

To save your images, you don't need IMAQ Vision. You can just convert each image to a 2D array and save it using standard file IO. The acquisition routines are part of the IMAQ drivers, which are free.

The Vision toolkit is useful for viewing images at high frame rates and for processing the images.

Jee. There is also an example program on the NI website called Saving Images with IMAQ Vision (IMAQ Only). It provides code for LabVIEW, VB, or LabWindows/CVI and doesn't require any addon toolkits, like IMAQ Vision. To find it, just type "saving images without vision" into the search field of ni.com.
