NI-IMAQdx Grab and Save to AVI

[Eric_R]

Overview

This example demonstrates how to Grab and Save to an AVI format by using IMAQdx.

Description

You need to specify the frame rate that your camera will be acquiring at, as this will adjust the playback rate of the AVI video produced. As the while loop iterates, it adds every grabbed image to the AVI video as single frames, once your acquisition is complete the AVI file will playback at the pre-set frame rate.

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Select your camera from the Session In control on the Front Panel
2. Set your desired Frames Per Second
3. Run the VI
4. Specify a path to save the AVI file
5. Press stop when you are finished with your acquisition
