USB Camera - how can I display this in one of my tabs ?

Folks,

 

It would be nice to display the video from the USD$15 camera in one of my tabs so I can see the operation of my experiment.

 

I am using the trial version of Vision and Motion. The project cannot not justify the cost and I don't need 99.8% of the functions I just need the video on one tab.

 

Currently I ALT TAB to view the camera.exe and LabVIEW.exe

 

I have been down the rabbit hole (thanks Google and Youtube) and I know someone will point me in right direction and I will shake my head and say, "There it is" 😀 so thanks in advance everyone.

 

Dave

 

FYI -

I am running LabVIEW version 21.0.1 (64-bit)

Win 10.0.19044

You can use WINUTIL.LLB => Set Parent.vi to put an external exe on a LabVIEW Front Panel.
