Help me, suggestions for get image as follows

[angoav98]

Hi; I work in capture of image and I need the next:

- see the camera in real time.

-to capture image with external signal. The external signal comes of microcontroller through of  serial port. I recieve charactersthrough of serial port, if  comes a character "A" i must to active  camera for take and save a image, if i receive the character B, i don't  must take potho, or capture image

I have all of the serial comunication, but idon't found a example for capture image through of external signal....i would like that you help me for get this

I read about IMAQ dx, but this not has content about external signal

** Always that i want capture image, i send  from microcontroller a character through of serial port....when in LabVIEW receive the character, the program must decide if take image o not...

Thanks. I need suggestions. tutorials,all manuals that you  considered important

So you know how to capture images right?. If yes then make it as a sub vi and create a design pattern (State machine) in that wait in an idle loop till you get any command from the controller so if you get any command go to a state where you have a case stucture having the commands A, B and what else you want to do. Keep the image capturing module into the A case structure. So whenever you get a command the image will get captured.
