Is it possible to capture images using TWAIN compatible devices?

Hello John,

CVI does not currently have any built in drivers for TWAIN devices. But, if you can find a C driver or an ActiveX control for TWAIN, you can use CVI 5.5 and above with the ActiveX control. CVI will generate wrapper functions (Tools >> Create ActiveX Controller) and the appropriate libraries so that you can start using the functions directly.

For more information on using ActiveX controls in CVI, take a look at the following two links:

Let me know if you have any further questions about this issue.
