How can we use LabView to command a CCD camera to take a picture every second and save those picture under a different file( like picture_1.bmp, picture_2.bmp.)
Start by opening MAX. Can you see the camera? Use MAX to configure the camera for a Snap (single picture). Create a Task to do the Snap. Look at the LabVIEW Help for IMAQdx, look at some examples for capturing single images and saving them to disk. Develop your code using normal LabVIEW coding practices (take the LabVIEW tutorials if you've never programmed in LabVIEW, or, much better, hire someone who knows LabVIEW -- they should be able to complete this task in a day or two, depending on your requirements). You can use the Task defined and saved in MAX to handle much of the messy Configuration details for you.
