Well, I'm still trying to make this work, and I'm supposed to finish this very soon (well, I haven't been working on it full time...)
I managed to get (sort of ) what I wanted, and I'm clocking around 10FPS on a strong machine, writing each 16 bit frame onto a seperate TIFF file. This is inefficient, but the only way I could figure to capture "video" in 16-bit greyscale.
1) I'm trying to put in an ROI control, and make it work in real-time, i.e. without needing to stop and restart the VI. I get an error saying "capture already in progress" or somthing of that sort whenever I try to modify the ROI properties within the main capture loop (one grab, one write per loop).
2) I need to think up a way to enter a couple of letters so the user could choose a file name for the images, that should be VERY easy (think "with gloves on using some silly joystick insted of a mouse" easy). I was thinking an enumerated control, but these only seem to allow numeric output, and I need letters. Ideas?
Many many thanks for anyone answering.
Ben.
