Camera and picture name

[hlod]

Hi all, I'm taking pictures from my web camera. All is working fine, except saving picture name. Picture always saved as "image.png"; I want to save picture for example "date_time_image.png". I try to change in path, also add "string" to IMAQ, but I think the problem is at "IMAQ write".

Can aynone help me; See picture below.

Thanks

File Path is the complete pathname, including drive, directory, and filename, of the file to write.

So you need a filename, not just the path.

Have a look at the build path VI (it's in the file functions pallette from memory).

Also have a look at the build string VI to build your date_time_image.png filename.
