Front panel hangs when wait for requested image to become available

[jasrajrajpurohit]

When calling IMAQdx Get Image the front panel of my VI freezes until a frame comes or until the timeout period expires.

I am using IMAQdx get image in timeout event (in event structure) 

Any suggestions??

-That is what expected behaviour generally from IMAQdx Get Image.
-It waits untill the image is available or reaches timeout(default 5000ms).
-If required you can reduce this timeout and handle appropriately with timeout error coming from IMAQdx Get Image to allow the execution.

Hi Uday,

Is there any other way to capture the images by external trigger without hanging front panel ?

-As mentioned earlier one way is to reduce timeout Or
-Check Grab and Attributes Setup example to use Buffer Mode Or
-Have Separate loop for UI and Image Acquisition(Producer(UI)-Consumer(Image Acquisition))
