grab to real time target

[neurobiol]

hi -

i would like to grab images off a video camera and save them to disk as 16 bit TIFFs in real time.  currently i run 30fps at 512x512 pixels.  i cannot open HL Grab to Real Time Target with Save to Disk.vi  and saving them as an AVI is not useful as this format is limited to 8bits.

any ideas on where to find this code on the web?  i already searched the message board and tried GOOGLE.  no luck.  alternatively, if there is other code that does the trick i'd love to see it.

Neurobiol,

Thanks for your post.  I have attached the VI - "HL Grab to Real Time Target with Save to Disk.vi" that you could not open before.  As the title suggests, you can use this code to grab and save a PNG file (you can modify the file type by using any of the other write file VIs in IMAQ, such as BMP, JPG, or GIF).  I save this as LV 7.1.  You will need NI-IMAQ and NI Vision installed to run this example.

Thanks,

Scott Savage
