Don't be scared.  This is just a learning process here, just keep in mind all help here are free. 

If I am correct, you just want to send to image to your hardware (may treat like second monitor).

My sugggestion:

First, connect SLM to PC, setup up PC with dual view monitor. Configure SLM as second monitor if the video driver is correct.

Second, change the resolution, make sure the resolution of the second monitor match with SLM

In your LV program, create a vi which send image to SLM on second monitor, Then should be OK.

Any questions will be welcomed here.

TonP shows you how to dynamically controll the monitor, it may out of your expectation. But I learn a lot from TonP's post. Thanks TonP.

Hi  Raul,

Rereading my post started a bit harsh.

But as michen  pointed out by reading you can learn still (the trick I showed I learned after 2 years of fulltime LV-use).
I want to keep the discussion public because someone else might (most likely will) have a better solution.
For future reference it might be best to include parts of code you want help with.
I know this question isn't quite suitable for that so I didn't ask Smiley Happy

Hi TonP,

first I want to thank you for all the advices. If we are speaking about LabVIEW there was two, and both was very useful.
Now I want to go forword with my application. So, now I'm able to send an image to an second monitor, in my conditions. Next step is that this image are generated by an matlab software. Do you know how I can to acces an matlab program from LabVIEW?

Thanks, Raul.

Well, there are some strategies to call Matlab program in LV, you can search the posts in this forum.

blah,Blah,......

instead of accessing Matlab program in LV or accessing LV application in Matlab, my suggestion is just bring the image generated by Matlab into LabVIEW not Matlab code.  As for how and when image being generated, you can control it in matlab.

Normally, I reallly don't think it a good idea to embedded on language source code into the other language source code unless you have to. Especially, for a large project, this may cause more issues.
