Re: GetImage only works when dashboard running?
Are you calling Start? The LV frameworks have a way to enable the imaging -- Basic has a local, Advanced has a global I think. Since the dashboard connection also causes the imaging loop to start, it will have the side-effect you are seeing I think.

Anyway, probe or look at the value of the control and I think you will be in business.

Note that depending on when you started, you may want to look at a newer version of the template. The original vision stuff, especially the Basic one was a bit too simple. There is now a subVI used to help call start and stop the right number of times to avoid internal reference counts from going out of control.
