In a part of a VI, I'm trying to write grabbed frames to an avi file. When developing on a Windows machine, I use the IMAQ AVI2 Get Codec Names.vi to get a list of available codecs and use the first one. However, this VI is not supported on real-time CVS units. What should I use for the avi codec name in this case?
IMAQ AVI2 Get Codec Names VI finds the compatible AVI compression codecs currently installed on the computer. In this case the CVS-1459RT runs Linux 64-bit for which NI does not currently have codecs. It may be possible to do an alternative by having a Windows VI with the AVI functions interacting with the RT target.
Yes, I figured out that the avi functionality is not available on CVS products, which is a real bummer. Can you explain more about using a Windows VI to interact with the RT target?
It would be similar to using any Real-Time target such as a cRIO to interact with a host computer. Below I've attached the cRIO Developers Guide. Chapter 4 is on Network Communication which I believe will be helpful.
