If you want to run a VI on the Smart Camera, is has to be underneath the Smart Camera target in the LVProject.  You can click and drag the VI to move it to the Smart Camera.

If you open up NI MAX, right click the Smart Camera, and go to "File Transfer", you should have a file browser dialog that you can use to get the paths to the images you have stored on the camera.  You can then use FTP to transfer them to the desktop.

There's also a guide to working with file paths on RT targets here: https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000YH93CAG&l=en-US

Hi,

What Smart Camera are you using? The error you're experiencing means that the operation you are trying to perform is not supported on your target (see attached image). In order for me to confirm if this is correct or not, please let me know what target you are trying to save an image to. You can see the forums below to see how others have dealt with this in the past:

hi aflojo

my device is ni smart camera 1742

Did you try the steps listed in either of the two threads she posted?

With writing to that file being a limitation, you need to look at other ways to solve the problem.  The link titled forum 2 talks about the 1744, a camera very similar to yours, using another method to save the data.  I'd start there and see if the same technique would work in your situation.
