Is anyone using the Labview Dashboard during competition?

How would one go about saving an image from the camera though?
I see in AxisCamera files a GetImage() function - is there some way that you could use that to save a snapshot to the memory on the cRIO?
And I think I recall there being instructions for FTPing to the cRIO in the setup instructions, anyone know offhand where that is?

I was hunting around in the docs and came across this:

Image* cameraImage = frcCreateImage(IMAQ_IMAGE_HSL);
double timestamp; // timestamp of image returned
double lastImageTimestamp; // timestamp of last image, to ensure image is new
int success = GetImageBlocking(cameraImage, &timestamp, lastImageTimestamp);
int result = GetCameraMetric(CAM_NUM_IMAGE);

When you call that will the system automatically save that as IMG_Whatever on the cRIO for access with FTP later?

Eureka! One of the example files had exactly what I was looking for!
The CameraDemo example has a setup to configure all your camera settings and a snapshot function so you can save a picture onto your cRIO as "default.png" in the root folder by default.
