How can I take a picture of a camera output on the Front panel

[Manderson13]

Hi all,

I've been fighting this one for a while, But I have a DataRay WinCamD CCD image in my front panel, I need a way of saving that image to a file. I've been crawling through NI Vision and IMAQ VIs and I can seem to piece the process together. This is a sample of my VI with the CCD image code. Can someone help me figure this out?

Many thanks

Why don't you stick with your original thread?

When you want to hide labels of frontpanel objects you can do this by right-clicking the object and navigating to "visible objects"…

I suppose Im confused by your reply, why would I want to hide the label?

[GerdW]

Because when I opened your VI the labels were either hidden behind other objects or they were moved to the far right…

Its a simple version of what I use and its an integration code I borrowed from DataRay. The entire CCD image and buttons need to be included in a picture that I can save to my computer. I reuploaded the VI with the blocks labeled but thats all I have. Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Hi Manderson13,

You could try to take a screenshot of a portion of your front panel, while the image is on your screen. Another forum post went over how to do this
