IMAQ write to bmp

I am grabing an image and I am trying to save it. For this I am creating a file and then using IMAQ Write to BMP File but it doesn't work. I suppose that there is something wrong in the way I am creating the file or something like that. Could someone have a look at my .vi ? Thank you.

Hi there,
Looking at your vi,
What is happening is that you are disposing of the image at the same time as you are trying to save the image.  If you wire the error out from the write to bmp file vi to the error in of the dispose of image vi.  Then you will save the file before you dispose of the image.
That should solve your problem.  Post back if you have any problems.
Thanks

  • Cant get IMAQ write file 2 to ask user for the path.

    I am currently using an IMAQ write file 2 to create a .bmp image. I have the VI attached to a control path that allows the user to enter the path where they want to save the file. However I dont want the user to have to make sure they typed the path in before the IMAQ write file executes. I want the program to work so that when the IMAQ write file executes a window appears asking the user where they would like to save the file. If someone could help me out I would appreciate it thanks.

  • IMAQ Write JPEG File doesn't save color

    Hi, I'm writing an 8 bit image to file. If I save it as bmp (using "IMAQ Write BMP.vi") File then color data is saved. If I save it as Jpeg using "IMAQ Write JPEG File", then I only get grayscale. I have attached a demonstration. There appears to be a bug in the IMAQ vi.

    At IMAQ create.vi you need to specify RGB image type. You are actually using 8 bit, that is a grayscale type.

  • What is the input "key" in the IMAQ Write Custom Data palette?

    Hello!
    I am not able to use correctly the IMAQ Write Custom Data palette because I do not know what is the input "key".
    Does anyone know its meaning?

    Thank you for replying Ninad Regundwar!
    I agree with this. I have already read this information in the LabView Help.
    However, I would like to know what is the "key" specifically. I know that it is a string.
    I have written a code to add some acquisition features in a PNG Image File. For this, I have used the following palettes: IMAQ Write File 2 - PNG with Vision Info and IMAQ Write Custom Data.
    Afterwards, I have written another code to read the acquisition features from this PNG Image File. For this one, I have used the following palettes: IMAQ Read Image and Vision Information and IMAQ Read Custom Data.
    But, when I am reading the acquisition features, an error message appears: "ERROR -1074395723 occurred at IMAQ Read Custom Data - IMAQ Vision: The key you specified cannot be found in the image"
    I do not know what I have to put in the input "key". So, I have been trying different values for it: "data", "hello", "13", "56", etc. But, none of these has worked and the same message has appeared.
    Does someone know what I have to put in the input "key"? Does someone have an example that shows how to use the palettes: "IMAQ Write Custom Data" and "IMAQ Read Custom Data" correctly?

  • Probleme avec Imaq write file qui n'enregistre pas les images en jpg

    Bonjour,
    dans le cadre d'un stage, je suis en train de dévellopper un programme qui récupère une vidéo issue d'une caméra usb. Jusque là tout vas bien. Mais je souhaite réalisé une vidéo a partir d'une suite d'image au format jpeg que le programme aura enregistrer dans un dossier.
    Mon probleme etant que Imaq write file 2 que j'utilise n'arrive pas a enregistrer les image au format jpg (alors qu'il y arrive au forma png, tiff ou jpg2000). Ainsi, lorsque je lance la capture, le programme a l'air de faire des opération mais lorsque je vais dans le dossier où doivent etre entreposé les jpeg, celui ci est vide.
    J'utilise labview 2010 et suis sous windows 7 x64 bits.
    Merci d'avance pour l'aide que vous pourez m'apporter.

    oui bien sur, le voila :

  • IMAQ write palette not visible

    I have installed NI Vision 2011 but IMAQ write file vi is not visible but IMAQ write file 2 vi is visible. No idea what is the problem.
    I am using labview 2011 on windows 7. 
    Kudos are always welcome if you got solution to some extent.
    I need my difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy my success.
    --Ranjeet

    Write2 replaces Write.  It handles file formats differently.  I believe there is a legacy option during install that will put these earlier versions of Vision VIs into a separate folder, if needed.  Check the Device Drivers Install CD, and DVD 2.

  • File acces denied @ IMAQ Write File 2

    Hi,
    I've started a  project using Vision Development Module and I'm stuck in saving some templates to a folder.
    I tried many other ' methods' using the same Imaq Write File 2 and all have the same error...
    Below it's a basic example. 
    Maybe somebody  can provide a correct solutions or give me an idee about what might be wrong.
    I'm loosing my mind soon
    PS: I gave Full Control Acces to all users ...
    Thanks in advance!
     

    Thanks for your reply!
    Actually, in the main vi I'm using grab function.
    The thing is... i'm using Folder Path instead File Path... If I'm creating a control from  vi's path terminal, it will create a File Path control which needs  : "the complete pathname, including drive, directory, and filename, of the file to write".  But I cannot have  a filename before I get a picture. Maybe there is another vi which has to be  used before, for setting the filename???
    Don't worry about "F" drive. I've already tried the other drives and same thing.
    Thanks!

    Just use the VI-Property Node - you can choose to print the whole VI (description,
    panel, diagramm and so on and delete the unnecessary stuff.

    The VI "IMAQ Dispose" is not used immediately after creating the image with the VI "IMAQ Create" and is closing a session you will process later, you must also change the location at which to save the image, because to the location "C: \" and "C: \ temp \" often generates problems with operating system permissions.

  • Memory leak in IMAQ Write PNG File

    Hi,
    I have a labview program that I'm using to do Speckle Patter Interferometry - it takes an image, takes a second image after some time, then subtracts the original image from the first and saves the subtraction.  The process reveals fringes on an object deformed on wavelength scales.
    The problem currently is that the program seems to have a memory leak.  When I run the program, the amount of memory being used (according to Windows Task Manager) just keeps going up and up then after about 20 minutes, it crashes with the error:
    Error 1074396159
    Not enough memory for required operation
    The error is normally when the file tries to write the png file - though that is the part of the program that takes the most time so it could just be coincidence that it happens at this point in the loop.
    I've tried using the labview profiler (output attached), but can't see a particular VI that is using an abhorrent amount of memory.
    I'm fairly stuck for ideas - I've attached a library with the VI and its sub VIs - if anyone would be so kind as to give me a hand I'd be very much appreciative.  I realise that my code is quiet messy - this is my first attempt at labview (albeit quite a long way into my first attempt) so any suggestions would be much appreciated also.
    Thanks

    Hi Sam, 
    I'm glad to hear that you managed to fix the problem in your code. I have had a look at the code you posted and I have a few suggestions on how you can improve it.
    In your code you haven't included the error clusters from the VIs. Most sub VI functions included in LabVIEW will have an Error In and Error Out port that will transfer any error information through the VI. If an error does occur in the code, the error will be passed through the rest of the VI. If a sub VI or function receives an error at its error in port the VI will not execute and the error will pass through until it reaches the end of the VI. At the end of a the VI there needs to be an Error Handler function to display the error information. As error information flows through the VI the same as the data, using error clusters is a good way to determine the flow of data through a VI. This is a good way to determine the data flow through the VI as opposed to Sequence Structures which should be used in moderation.  
    I have taken a segment of you code and made some minor modifications to demonstrate how error clusters can be used (see screenshot below).  
    Error clusters can be implemented into any logic for the stop condition of a while loop. The Unbundle by Name using the Status option can be used in conjunction with the error cluster to produce a boolean output depending on if an error has occurred. If an error does occur, the function will produce a true and if an error does not occur it will produce a false. The error cluster can also be expanded by hovering the mouse over the top or bottom of the function and dragging the grey box up or down. This is useful for when you want to produce multiple outputs from the same data, such as the histogram data in your VI.
    Another thing I noticed in you code was some redundant logic. You had set the Stop button default on your front panel to true, which meant that an inverter had to be used to stop the first while loop and the stop condition in the last while loop had been changed to Continue if True. If you had kept the stop button default to False and the stop condition of the last while loop to Stop if True, the inverter on the first while loop would not be needed. This however is only a small issue but its something you could keep in mind when writing other code.
    Hopefully these suggestions will help you to further develop you LabVIEW code. I understand that implementing these suggestions into you current code could be an issue due to the size of it, but they are good features to consider when developing any code in the future. 
    If there is anything you are unsure of please do not hesitate to post any questions. I will be more than happy to assist you.

  • Error with IMAQ write

    Hello everybody,
    I'm trying to acquire 25 images from a camera. Each image is composed of laser impact. It saves the first image of the first impact in the first loop and saves me a black image in the second loop (slave), others are not registers. At the end LabVIEW displays me an error message that I put you in room attached.
    I can not seem to find why it does not want to record 25 frames ....
    I hope you could help me.
    Thx

    Dear All,
    Could someone help me with Vision Acquisition. I am a brand new to Labview. I want to use  Vision Acquisition to control two cameras simultaneously, caputure the figures , then save them in files (bmp format). Now I only can show the figures on the front panel. I am not sure how to build the files and control the two cameras simultaneously.  Could some kind expert throw me some light? and give me some example?
    My email is: [email protected]
    Thank you so much  for you kind help in advance!

  • How do you write an image threshold to a file

    Hi, I use IMAQ threshold to threshold an RGB image. How do I write this image to a file? Whenever I use the IMAQ Write JPG or Write PNG vI and try to view the file with the windows image viewer all I see is a black image. Does anyone know how to save a binary image?

    If you cast it to an eight bit image and save it as a BMP or JPEG does it show up correctly? If so the problem probably lies in the fact that a 16-bit image in LabVIEW is signed, while third party viewers usually assume that it is unsigned. So rather than pixel values going from -32766 to 32767, they go from 0 to 65536. There are example programs on ni.com to get around this. One is called "Mapping a 16-bit Image to an 8-bit Image," another is called "Bit Shift an IMAQ Vision 12-bit Image and Resave for External Viewer." If you search for these titles on the ni.com search bar, you should be able to find them.

  • What is the fastest way to record and write image data?

    Hello,
    I am new to labview and am using the IMAQ software package to record and write data from a CCD camera to the hard drive. The end goal is a program that records and saves as much data as possible as quickly as possible, for experiments lasting on the scale of days. I have been experimenting with the snap, grab, and sequence methods of recording. To save the image data I was told by NI customer support that TDMS streaming would be the fastest method. I have also been experimenting with the TDMS VIs, however I have found the IMAQ Write File 2 VI to be faster in practice. Am I doing something wrong with the TDMS file structure? Is there a more efficient way to convert IMAQ image data to a dataform that can be written as TDMS? I am posting two of my programs to provide a clearer example of what I am trying to do. The first takes a snap of the image and appends it to a TDMS file. The second is the fastest I have found so far and uses Grab to record the images and the IMAQ Write File VI to save them. 
    Thanks

    Hi
    For me it is no surprise that the second VI is faster then the first one, the reason is you can not compare this two VI with each other.
    In the first VI you work with TDMS files, in the second with png files. That would be much faster, because TDMS files need a lot of diskspace.
    Second point, why do you open, write and close for eacht iteration of the for loop a TDMS file in your first VI? That need really a lot of resources, so it coudn´t be fats as well.
    Save your converted pictures in one array, an after the acquisition you can save it in one TDMS file. When you need for each picture a TDMS file you have to know that this need some time to do this.
    So now for the architecture of your first VI, please look to the LL Sequence.vifrom the examples (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\examples\IMAQ\IMAQ Low Level.llb\LL Sequence.vi), there you can see how an acquisition of a number of images have been to do.
    When you like it really fast, you make a producer/consumer architecture (see examples in LabVIEW for that).
    So in the first whileloop you acquire the images, write into a queue and in the second, parallel whileloop you read the queue and save the images. (see attachment)
    Hope that helps

  • IMAQ AVI Read Frame vs. IMAQ AVI2 Read Frame, no data terminal

    Hi,
    I just noticed when dropping a IMAQ AVI2 Read Frame vi in place of an older IMAQ AVI Read Frame vi, there is no "data out" terminal.  I do make use of this feature to add data to the frames of the AVI.  Is there supposed to be an alternative way to store this frame data, using the imaq image custom info perhaps?  

    Hello David,
    You are correct in that the data out terminal is no longer available in the AVI2 functions. However you can use the IMAQ Read Custom Data and IMAQ Write Custom Data functions. These allow you to write and read custom data to the IMAQ images using specified keys. In this way you can add miscellaneous data to your images for later use.
