Have a look at the following for decoding the Base64: https://forums.ni.com/t5/Example-Programs/Fast-Base64-Encoder-Decoder-using-LabVIEW/ta-p/3503281

And then something similar to this to display the JPEG data without saving it to disk: https://forums.ni.com/t5/Example-Program-Drafts/Methods-for-converting-a-JPEG-data-string-stream-to-...

Hi waldo,

Simple solution: read the encoded data, decode them and store them to a (temporary) JPG file.

Then load the JPG using ReadJPGFile and use a 2D picture indicator to display it…

This has proven to be very useful.

Thanks
