12 bit Image from a camera

[Elena_vsc]

Hello,

I'm acquiring some data from a x-ray detector. With each acquisition I obtain a column of the image that I want. The problem is that after n iteration I have a matrix of pixel values 192xN (with N=n.of iterations) see image attached for an example of the matrix. I'd like to convert this matrix into an image and I called IMAQ..but I can't have a image that has sense!

Here what the producer told me to do with my matrix:

upscale the 12 bit values into a 16 bit gray scale value. Each pixel in the image data is then multiplied by this scale factor prior to feeding it into the image manipulation functions supplied by the PresentationCore .NET Assembly, specifically the BitmapSource class supplied in the System.Windows.Media.Imaging namespace.

I attach also the current block diagram. Any Idea on how to convert properly the pixel and how to save the image? My last attempt was with encoding u16 and I can't save the resulting image.

If more information are needed, please let me know!

Thanks!

I don't understand your scaling - and the scaled outputs aren't being used.

To scale a 12 bit value to 16 bits you multiply by 16 - which is all integer math. What is the division and other stuff for?

I converted the data using I16 (conversion pallet) but IMAQ is not producing any image.Any idea why not?
