Lately, I've been using the Vision Acquisition express block configuration. It leads through five wizard screens with a test mode to view the changes as you experiment. It then generates code for IMAQdx. Once done, I will generally right-click and Open the Front Panel which will convert it to a VI. This gives a good starting point for more advanced configuration.

To darken, you can make adjustments to exposure, gain, and brightness.

Is there an easier way? we getting trouble connecting the vision acquisition to the dashboard image loop
