Hi,

If you really want to do it yourself using TCP/IP you will have to read the standard : http://www.machinevisiononline.org/vision-standards-details.cfm?type=5

Another way is to use NI Vision Acquisition Software, it include all the VI you will need to do image acquisition.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion, but what I had in mind was a solution using the TCP data communication protocols vi´s. Something like Testing Camera 1. vi  in http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/TCP-IP-USB-camera/m-p/583154. Is this not possible?

Sure it's possible. You would need to know the format of the data steam in order to read it and process it correctly.
