How to determine image type in IMAQdx

[DarkLordOfG]

You can use the IMAQ property node to determine the image type when creating images.  However, when I try this with IMAQdx I get 0 for bits per pixel and I do not see an image type like for IMAQ.  I am creating 8 bit images when my camera is color.  How do I determine the image type from the camera file?

Hi rammer,

IMAQdx exposes an attribute called "TypeOfImageInUse" which will give you the expected image type for the current camera settings. However, any of the IMAQdx functions that return an image will automatically convert the image to the appropriate format automatically, so you normally don't need to worry about it.

I don't believe that attribute is currently directly exposed as its own property node, but you can use the CameraAttributes -> ActiveAttribute/ValueU32 ones to query it like any other dynamic camera attribute.

can you post a screen shot.  Not sure what VI you are talking about.  It must come from the FG not a camera attribute.  Thanks.
