I am using a Condor DAQ card to capture radar video

[snook]

I want to be able to generate a virtual radar display (120 degree scan) to display the video that the DAQ card has captured. Is this possible with labview.? I am using version 7.1

Hello Snook,

The key to this problem is whether or not Condor provides a LabVIEW driver for you card. If they do, then it should be possible to get this information displayed in radar format.

I would check with the manufacturer of you card to see if they provide a driver so that your card can interface with LabVIEW.

Wendy,
I am already capturing the data with labview,
I just wanted some guidance as to how to display the data. The condor card supplies 256 range bins of data (each range bin could be a pixel) for every azimuth. There are 480 azimuths per scan.(each azimuth is .25 degrees, So the total scan range is 120 degrees. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Hello Jim,

I would suggest using a polar plot in LabVIEW. Take a look at the following link and example program:
