Hi JBrenem,
Thank you for using National Instruments forums. Granted, I am from NI; my suggestion may be a little biased.
I personally have never used the SITK, but if the camera that you are using from CoolSNAP HQ is the RS-170/PAL selectable output camera (was the one I quickly googled), you would be able to use any of our analog frame grabbers to be able to do a basic snap/grab using our driver to take it directly into LabVIEW. If this is the case I would recommend looking into the PCI-1405 as a potential solution if cost is a consideration. If multiple cameras or triggering ability is more of a required feature, the PCI-1410 is a great solution for that.
I hope this suggestion can help you out.
