Color template not loading?

[the_waterboy]

We are trying to use the camera to track the pink flag, just as a test of our camera's tracking ability. We went through NI Vision Assistant and created a script to locate the color pink in an image. We tested it in Vision Assistant using different images and it successfully finds pink. When we try to use the code on our Robot Project, using the sub-VI created by Vision Assistant, we noticed that the program is not loading the template. We noticed this by setting up a probe at the wire coming in for the template and receiving a blank screen. Is anyone else having this problem, or know how to fix it?

You have to upload your template file to the cRIO via FTP. I don't remember exactly where, but there is a document somewhere describing how to do this. Try first's website or ni.com and you should find it.

Thanks for the information, but I can't find any information about FTP with the cRio. Does anyone know how to do this or have a link to get to instructions on how to do this?
