Overview

This VI allows users to select a rectangular Region of Interest (ROI) and save that ROI to its own image file.  This would be useful if you would like to extract out a portion of your larger image and save it as its own image file.

 

Description

This VI uses the IMAQ VI's to create a memory location for an image, open that image and then display it. The VI then uses the IMAQ Select Rectangle to open a prompt which allows the user to define a rectangular Region Of Interest (ROI). The IMAQ Extract VI creates a new image for the ROI which is then saved to file.
