Why not store the image as jpeg instead of the dat file?

What version of LabVIEW are you using?

Does it support MATLAB script?

[altenbach]

A *.dat file can be anything. Unlike e.g. *.png it is not reserved for any specific data structure.

So have a look at your Matlab code to see how the data is saved, then reverse engineer it in LabVIEW. If it is binary, you need to know the # of rows and # of columns, the datatype (# of bytes per pixel, B&W, RGB? RGBA? Palleted?) and the byte order for any multibyte value. I am sure it is all in there somewhere....

You do the same procedure as you did in Matlab, but in reverse. How's the image saved? Pure data? Any header? 24 bit RGB values?

If you use IMAQ Vision functions you would basically import the numeric data in whatever binary format you write it in Matlab and then use the IMAQ Array To Image functions.

If you want to use the LabVIEW Pixmap format instead you need to do the same import and then try using one of the Draw Unflattened Pixmap instances.

Then your conversion is wrong!

(Are you sure your "dat" data is organized in a 900×900 scheme?)

Btw. why don't you cleanup the code before posting such images?
