Hi there,

One possibility is to save your image in the hard disc.

Use  cwimaqvision1.ReadImage(cwimaqviewer1.Image, yourPath, cwimaqviewer1.Palette) to load the image from the hard disc.

hope this could help.

hi, thanks for the answer but is there really no other opinion to e.g convert a bmp into a cwimaq image file? that it is possible to attach the image?

hi,

You can also create a new CWIMAQImage. Use ReadImage function to load your image to CWIMAQImage.   Then you can attach the image whenever you want. Pay attention that, the type of CWIMAQImage is U8 by default when a new one is created.

Is this what u want?

hi,

Here is a example.

NationalInstruments.CWIMAQControls.CWIMAQImage IMAG_Source = new NationalInstruments.CWIMAQControls.CWIMAQImage();

IMAG_Source.Type = NationalInstruments.CWIMAQControls.CWIMAQImageTypes.cwimaqImageTypeRGB32; //depends on the source image.

CWIMAQVision1.ReadImage(IMAG_Source, "@c:\image.bmp", CWIMAQViewer1.Palette);

IMAG_Source is what you want.
