IMAQ Light Meter (Rectangle) VI

Owning Palette: Measure IntensitiesInstalled With: NI Vision Development Module

Measures the pixel intensities in a rectangle of an image.

Examples

IMAQ Light Meter (Rectangle)

cbool.gif

Show Search Area specifies whether the VI overlays the location of the intensity measurement on the image.

cgenclasstagrefflat.gif

Image is a reference to the source image.

cnclst.gif

Rectangle specifies the coordinates of a rectangular area in which the intensity is measured.

ci32.gif

Left is the x-coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle.

ci32.gif

Top is the y-coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle.

ci32.gif

Right is the x-coordinate of the bottom right corner of the rectangle.

ci32.gif

Bottom is the y-coordinate of the bottom right corner of the rectangle.

cdbl.gif

Rotation specifies the rotation angle in degrees of the rectangle with its center as point of rotation. If the rotation angle does not equal zero, the Left, Top, Right, and Bottom coordinates are not the actual coordinates of the upper left and bottom right corner of the rectangle, but their position if the rotation angle equals zero.

ccclst.gif

Coordinate System specifies the coordinate system to which the Rectangle is linked. If the Coordinate System input is used (connected), the location of the intensity measurement is shifted and rotated by the difference between the reference position of the coordinate system and its new location.

error in (no error) describes the error status before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

cbool.gif

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.

ci32.gif

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

cstr.gif

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.

icclst.gif

Histogram contains the histogram of the pixel intensities in the Rectangle area.

Image Out is a reference to the result image. The search area may be overlaid on the image according to the setting Show Search Area. The search area may be overlaid on the image according to the setting Show Search Area.

inclst.gif

Gray Level Intensities is a cluster that contains the intensity measurements.

isgl.gif

Mean Intensity is the average of the pixel intensities.

isgl.gif

Standard Deviation is the standard deviation of the pixel intensities.

isgl.gif

Minimum Intensity is the minimum of the pixel intensities.

isgl.gif

Maximum Intensity is the maximum of the pixel intensities.

icclst.gif

Coordinate System (duplicate) is a reference to the coordinate system.

error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.

ibool.gif

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.

ii32.gif

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

istr.gif

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
