Imaq Temperaturescale

Hello

I have two questions which I hope that they are quite easy to answer. But since I'm new to Labview I dont't know how to do this.

I use Labview to aquire images from an infrared cam. I partly do this by librarys provided for the camera and by the Labview Vision Tools.

The problem for me is, that I can not figure out how to show a temperature scale in the image. The values for displaying the image using the imaq array to image VI already are the temperature values. How can I create the scale inside the image? And how can I change the scale to show only a specific range while the programm is running?

Until now I'm using for all this an intensity graph but due to the further treatment of the image I would rather use an imaq image.

The other question is, how can I fix the imaq image in the frontpanel?

Hello Steffen,

you should use the histogramm function to display the intensity.
See link:http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=200&message.id=690&query.id=4232#M690

To display the intensity in the image its necessary to use an overlayer function.

I do not understand exactly what it means:

Kind regards,

Hello Elmar,

thank you for your answer.
The two links you sent me are both the same. I don't think this was supposed to be?

Still I don't know how the histogramm can help me showing a temperaturescale.
In case I consider something differenterent a temperaturescale I have attached a picture including one.

Thanks in advance.
Steffen

Hello Steffen,

sorry for the wrong overlay link.

One way to compare rgb values with temperature is to create a temp. scale.
For example an temp. scale  from 000000 to FFFFFF (black to white).
And a second row with the temperature value (-> for example 10FA23= 30 ° C).
Then you are able to get the rgb value form a pixel or roi in the image and calculate the temperature about the index in the array.
