imaqDisplayImage

[jschafer10272]

can someone please tell me how to display an Image that is unsigned char when the function

imaqDisplayImage( Buffer, 0, TRUE);

gives me the error Type error in argument 1 to imaqDisplayImage found pointer to unsigned char expected pointer to const Image

So how do I use this function can I convert my unsigned char image to const Image?

thanks,
JS

Hi

you called
   imaqDisplayImage( Buffer, 0, TRUE);
but the arg 1 is of type cwImaqImage and not unsigned byte pointer!

i displayed a image buffer with calling
  imaq1394plotDC(HandleToCanvas, buffer, 0,0,width,height,0,0,0)

or u use the cwImaqViewer
and attach a cwImaqImage to.

hope this helps

Sorry to bombard you with such easy questions but is that 1394 lmaq library part of the IMAQ or VISION or what because I can't seem to find those libraries and I have the VISION and IMAQ.

thanks,

JS,

    The IMAQ 1394 driver is included with a driver set called Vision Acquisition Software.  It is also possible, though, to get the drivers individually.  It sounds like you have NI-IMAQ but not NI-IMAQ 1394.  The 1394 driver is not a free driver, but you can download the driver set and try it for 30 days.  Let me know if you have more questions!
