Camera Tracking

[Greg McKaskle]

I didn't get to my main point in my previous posts, but if you see LV data onscreen, in a probe, graph, or array, you can right click and copy data. Then open a new VI and paste. You now have the binary data captured for further analysis. Make the current value default, save it, or change it to a control and write a quick program to do what you want to the data set. If you paste into Word or other apps, the thing on the clipboard is an image, but within LV it is a graph or other control with the data.

The point is, it is not necessary to rewrite the program to use file I/O if you want quick data. File I/O is still good of you want to be systematic about gathering data for driving runs.

If you start doing this, there are a few odd things in LV. For arrays, you will want to Select All in the right click first, otherwise it copies just the selected data, which is hard to control and normally nothing is selected. Also charts display history, not just their data, so copy data on a chart is odd too.

Anyway, the picture will probably allow control guys to help out much more than just your description.
