Using a twain driver

[Brad Sargent]

I need to control a standard flat-bed scanner from LabView.  Does anyone have any examples of how to call the twain driver to do a scan and get the image data?

Thanks,

Brad

I was doing something for a webcam and decided to use a .NET library. In my search I stumbled upon a library that not just supports webcams, but has complete TWAIN support. find it here: http://www.vintasoft.com/
Alternatively you can also use their activex library. The developer license is cheap and only needed when you actually deploy something with it.

Thanks for the link.  I'll definately follow it up.  The only other options I have found are to go to the twain.org website and build our own interface or I found a commercial LV interface at http://www.alliancevision.com/us/products/softwares.htm.  I think this is the same thing as the driver at http://www.graftek.com/pages/labview3rdaccess.htm.
