Attachment
This example shows how to convert the LabVIEW image datatype into an IMAQ image datatype.
Description
This VI converts the LabVIEW image datatype (used by the Picture Control) to the IMAQ image datatype. The example shows how to convert image data from the Get Image method to the IMAQ image datatype but a more common use case would be when using a 3rd party camera driver that acquires images into a LabVIEW picture control. This VI could then be used to convert the image to an IMAQ image allowing you to use Vision Development Module for image processing and analysis.
