I am not sure about this, I have never tried using the Driver Station "display", but I have tried to use the LabVIEW Dashboard, while the robot had Wind River code on it, and the image would not appear on my laptop, not sure if this also means it would not work on the Driver Station.

NOTE: yes I then did try the Dashboard with the robot on LabVIEW code, and it would show on my laptop. However, our team would like to keep it in Wind River, so we can still have all the functions that the robot does, instead of re-imaging to LabVIEW, and only having the default operations.

What motion screen capture utility would you recommend? Is the "image write" function something you need to write code for, or how would you do this? What do you mean by FTP? [Sorry for my lack of knowledge in this area, but any details would be great ]
