Acquire image from a camera controlled by a PLC

[A.Salcedo]

Hello everyone.

First of all thanks for reading this post and able to helping.

I am working in a project where I use Labview and vision libraries that it provides.

I have a PLC connected to a camera. The PLC fives the order to comera to make the trigger.

At the same time the camera is connected to a PC where I have Labview.

My question is, how can I visualize an imega each time the camera take a photo controlled by PLC??

Is there some VI which is reading the camera every time and when the camera take a photo (PLC send the instruccion to the camera to take a photo) to be able to visualize the photo in "imageDisplay" on the front panel?

I imagine it will be something like a 'while' which is reading all the time the camera and a "case" in which if the camera is triggered then visualizing the picture on the panel front. But I don't know what i have to use to know when the camera is triggered.

Thanks a lot for helping!!

based on your system it is possible or is not possible some still camera could send online images with low size(400*600) to your system and then start to capture image and load it in your system with high resolution with software or hardware trigger
you have to know if your system support such online monitoring or not just capture and send image to your system
