Screenshot or picture of camera in front panel

[Manderson13]

Im trying to take a snapshot of a CCD image in my front panel every time my program iterates. The CCD image is live updating from my camera that is plugged in. Ideally I just want to save a picture in .jpg of this camera image every iteration but I cant do it with with the invoke node option. Any ideas?

Attached is a screenshot of the front pane, let me know if you would need the actual VI

NI Vision is the solution.

Hi Manderson13,

Norbert is absolutely right that you can save images using NI Vision software. What type of camera do you have, and how are you currently acquiring from it to display images on your front panel? Here's some documentation on how you can use our vision software to save images to file. 

Thanks!

I'm using a DataRay WinCamD series camera, and I'm using an interfacing code from DataRay that produces the camera image in my front panel. I will look through the documentation, Thanks!
