Labview image data from Apogee ALTA using icamera2, how to handle the pointer value (pointer to the image array). Labview does not understand pointer VALUES. Does anyone have a work around??

I have a new Apogee Alta internet camera which uses the icamera2 methods. Apogee in their infinite wisdom wants VALUE of the pointer to the image array passed in GetImage. Labview does not understand pointer VALUES!  Is there a solution other tahn writing an additional DDL to obtain the VALUE of the pointer to the array??  I am a marginal C programmer an have never written a DLL.  Would that be hard??? Would it work???

That would be the best and fastest way to get it to work. It's not hard to write a DLL which retrieves data from a C pointer in LabVIEW. Here are some documents which could help you out:
Using External Code in LabVIEW
Retrieve Data from a C Array Pointer in LabVIEW 

You can also search Developer Zone and the Discussion Forums for additional examples.

Hello,
Have you had any luck getting this to work? If so, I'd very much like to see some code as I'm having this exact trouble.
