output raw image data

[krisavril3]

Hi,

I'm using an industrialized camera. However, the labview program comes with it can only output 8-bit image. I am trying create a program that will only output the raw data image not the processed image, because I need image that's at least 10-bit. Any suggestions?

P.S. I'm a new user to LabView and I'm using the 2012 version.

Thanks.

Would you be able to modify the existing LabVIEW program by inserting a string indicator before the processing steps? Then you can manipulate the data however you want.

I don't know if this will help, but once you have a binary file, you can read it directly with this:

Thank you for your reply and help. I definitely want to try the method you mentioned. However, the program I have is an extremely complex one, it has 4 sequences and several cases. I am not sure if it will affect the prorgram if I only change one sequence.

Would you still suggest to revise the existing program or write a new one?

Thanks!

You could try it and see if it works, it should be faster than writing one from scratch. Did you try any of the suggestions put forward in the other thread you posted this question in?

What camera are you using, usually many industrial cameras can be set to acquire in 8, 10 and sometimes even 12 and 16bit mono (depends on the a-d convertrer and dynamic range of the sensor).  This requires that you set the camera into such a mode and then acquire to 16-bit imaq spaces.

The camera I am using is from IDS. It can only process 8-bit image.
