how to eliminate date and time in image logging in vision express

[Lab_View_User]

I am using vision express to capture a set number of images with inline processing. I am opting to log the images to a specified folder. However, the file names of the images have the date and time appended by default. Is there a way to eliminate the date and time in the images' file name? Please help.

Hi

It may help if you paste your code and file to better understand what is it that you want to remove from the file. If you have the vision development module, you can certainly use the File VIs available within the vision tools utilities palette in LabVIEW to manipulate the way you save your files.

 There is a good example code you can refer to within the following forum link:

Also if you have access to the Vision Builder for Automated Inspection software, this application offers you that option:

Thanks a lot. That was helpful. I however found another work around - I renamed (using the move vi) the files post snapping. I will still be interested if someone has a more efficient way to do this.
