You are also pretty new to the Forum. You are using IMAQdx, one of the more complex "niches" in the LabVIEW world, where not everything is crystal clear, and not everything "works the first time".
You really should attach all of your LabVIEW code for this Project, so we can "see what you are doing" and tailor our comments appropriately for your level of understanding. Please do the following:
- Right-click on the Folder containing your LabVIEW Project (and, I hope, all of the code you wrote to accomplish this goal).
- Choose "Send to:", "Compressed (zipped) folder.
- Attach the .zip file to your reply.
There are two ways to save multiple images. One is to do a lot of Snaps (which you've done), and for each Snap, do an IMAQdx Write 2, specifying the type of the Image and the format (BMP, JPEG, PNG, etc.) of the output file. Each file will need a unique name, but you can easily take care of this by choosing names "intelligently", e.g. "Image 0001.png", with the next being Image 0002.png, etc. You can easily construct the file name using the index of the While Loop where the Snapping takes place and using "Format into String" to combine the Index (1, 2, etc.) and "before and after" strings ("Image" and ".png") to make your Filename. Note that the above naming scheme works for up to 9999 images -- if you have more, add another "0" or two to keep all the file names consistent (keeps things neater).
As you note, if you have a thousand images, that means a thousand files, but disk space is relatively cheap, as are large flash drives.
The other way to save a lot of Images, but in a single file, is to save it as a video. You probably do not want to do this, as if Image Processing is complicated, Video is even more so.
For more targeted help, please attach your code.
