migrated vision builder vis integration

[joeltucit]

Good Day!

I'm using 4 cameras for image acquisition and i have written a separate inspection script in vision builder ai 2.5 for the images acquired for each of the cameras. I then migrated them each to labview 8.0. The problem with this is that for each part of the product that i want to inspect i have to open a different inspection file in VBAI 2.5 or a different VI for LabView 8.0. Is there a way to stitch together all four images in one inspection script in VBAI or a single VI in Labview so that I will have all four images on the screen and run an inspection for all the images? 

Thanks!

Hello joeltucit,

Even though VBAI 2.5 was designed to inspect one image at a time, it is possible to inspect multiple images using a LabVIEW vi.  At the beginning of your inspection, call a "Run LabVIEW VI" step.  This vi will acquire the images from the four cameras, merge them into one large image using the IMAQ Image to Image vi, and then pass the large image out of the VI.  Configure the Run LabVIEW VI step to return the image, and then perform your VBAI inspection processing with the large image.  Each quadrant of the large image will comprise of the smaller images from your cameras.

Sorry for the late reply. I tried doing what you said but there i can't find a run labview VI in VBAI 2.5. i've upgraded to VBAI 2.6 and i've found it there. I'm trying it out nowadays. Thanks for the advice.

My apologies about VBAI 2.5.  The Run LabVIEW VI step was introduced in VBAI 2.6.  I'm glad to hear that this is working out for you.
