thanks i indeed missed that

Now i just need to find out how to run two windows at once. I know this all is very trivial, but i havent used labview very long. At the moment i'm mainly trying out differnt sets of software to find out which one will be best suited for my purpose. I would like to run 1 fullscreen window on the lcd and in the meantime have a smaller version of that running (and controls for that) on my desktop monitor.

Have to say that labview is looking promising so far, at least the image load times are much faster than with matlab.

Cheers

You can open the image files you have using the graphics VIs that come with LabVIEW, and then display them in a picture indicator. I still think where getting hung up on the hardware here: are you using a separate video card to dispplay your extended desktop? If you really really don't want to do that, you can always get a video generator from NI (a lot more $ than an extra VGA card, but they work perfectly), but I'm not convinced that's what you need. Can you describe what it is your actually trying to do? Rather than saying "I want to display an image on a screen", tell us about the project from a higher level...

Think i have more or less the same problem, i would like to send/display an image on the lcd display. This image will be used as a mask. So we would like to display the image full-screen borderless, no titlebar etc. on the lcd display. Think of it as running in 'game-mode' or playing a movie on your normal monitor. The image will have to be updated during the measurement, so for that we will probably use a matrix. But so far i havent figured out yet on how make this full-screen display yet.
