How to automate and record droplet measurements in LabVIEW?

[kent 2008]

Hello,

I am struggling to find a more efficient method of data treatment. Currently I collect data with a LabVIEW program, import into Windows movie maker frame by frame, transfer each frame to Vision Assistant, and manually measure each droplet (one by one ). It is okay for the first few, but when it gets to about 50 and into the 100's, then I get a little frustrated. I know there is a way to expedite my collection/measurement process and make it more efficient! Possibly a way to perform all the necessary functions in one shot. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I have a feeling it can be done, just not the know-how. Useful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Measure is an add-on data acquisition tool for Excel. You'll have better luck getting an answer if you post to the LabVIEW or Vision board.

Yes, this would be better on the Vision forum. Try searching/posting here: Machine Vision

And please post back here with the new thread link so we can follow this thread to the new one.

It would also be helpful to know what kind of data you are collecting and how you are importing it to Windows Movie Maker and then transferring it to Vision Assistant...as it is unclear if you are pulling images and creating an AVI and then post processing. Are you doing all of this programmatically, or manually transferring/importing? Please add these to your new post. 

Thanks!

Thank you for your suggestions!! I do not know how to link threads, but I did use the Machine Vision link and I posted on the message board. Thanks again for your direction!!
