Those undocumented functions are "described" in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Vision\Documentation\NIVisionCVI.chm.

If some imaq functions have not been wrapped for Java, perhaps you can do the wrapping by following the code.

If you would like to communicate data back to the dashboard app, this was done last year in all languages I believe. The data is packed and sent as part of the UDP response packet. At the dashboard, it is unpacked using the LV unflatten node, and the data can be used to annotate the image.

When you say that NI disabled saving to file, are you talking about the IMAQ file functions? Some of these rely on Windows elements and that is why they do not exist for any language. You should be able to use file I/O to save the data of the image for later analysis. You can also open up any TCP port you like and use those in the lab for debugging. The ports will be disabled for official fields.

To use the standard dashboard communications look at the packing classes.
