In LabVIEW, there are functions to save images as various files types. You can save an image as a JPEG, BMP, TIFF, or PNG file type, and you can save images in an AVI video format.
Save as Image
Use the
IMAQ Write File 2 VI. This VI will allow you to save images as JPEG, BMP, TIFF, or PNG files.
These VIs are located in the Functions Palette under
Vision and Motion»Vision Utilities»Files.
Save as Video
Use the AVI functions located in the Functions Palette under
Vision and Motion»Vision Utilities»Files»AVI. These functions will allow you to save a sequence of images to an AVI video file and read AVI files.
Additional Information
Examples of how to configure and save to both Image and AVI files can be found in newer versions of LabVIEW in the NI Example Finder. Once the Example Finder is open, simply navigate to
Hardware Input and Output » Vision Acquisition » IMAQ » File Input and Output to find example code that shows how to properly configure the save process. The three examples are
Grab and Save to AVI.vi,
Sequence and Save to AVI.vi, and
Snap and Save to File.vi.
