RS 232 + Camera

[hmed]

Hello every one, I have two questions:
1- how can I save the data from the serial ports RS 232 on labview?
2- how can I make a camera on labview and save the video.
Thank you

1. VISA

2. You need webcam interface for that. Explore it

thank you

For RS 232 I use VISA but I cant save the result

and for camera too , I have use the interface webcam but Too I cant save the video.

For Saving the result, You need to read the Port data by VISA read functionality.After Reading that write in a File you needed (propably Text File).

For reading data from the serial port check out the LabVIEW examples under Help >> Find Examples in the Hardware Input and Output >> Serial Folder.

For recording a video of your screen it's probably better to use some screen capture software rather than pointing a video at it. Check out a couple different options I know of offhand below:

It does not seem any one has read what the original poster has said. He is already reading the serial port so recomendations to use VISA and the serial example is silly. He says he already has the web cam interface so the responses to how to save the image are equally silly.

Please attach your code with some details on exactly how you want the data saved and what sort of errors you get when you try.

I am also stuck on a similar project. I am taking data from a tensile tester on Serial port. So this part is set.

But I want to give an additional functionality of allowing the user to save the graph as a video (perhaps as a screen capture video) and also take a realtime video of the test being conducted.

Then I want to club the 2 videos together so that the user can PLAY the test and see how the product was getting stretched as the graph moves on.

A wonderful value addition indeed.

But I really dont know how to how to capture graph as a video and how to save it and also save thw webcam input to a video file on the PC.

Anyone worked on a similar app ?

Please don't hijack an unrelated thread. Please start a new one but first consider just saving the acquired data as a text or binary file. Using a webcam is something separate.
