4. Call IMAQ1394Get Image.
5. After an acquisition, release the resources associated with the
acquisitionusing IMAQ1394Close.IMAQ1394 Close also stops the
acquisition if one is in progress. If you want to stop the acquisition
without releasing the resources (such as the image buffers), use
IMAQ1394Stop Acquisition.
Examplesof the low-level acquisition VIs are included in

Triggering
Often you may need to link or coordinate a vision action or function with
eventsexternal to the computer, such as receiving a strobe pulse for
lighting or a pulse from an infrared detector that indicates the position of
anitemonanassemblyline.
Timeoutspecifies the amount of ti me (in milliseconds) to wait for the
trigger.Figure 4-7 shows how to use IMAQ1394 Configure Trigger to
performa snap acquisition based on a trigger.

Image Display
Many image acquisition applications require that one or more images
be displayed. You have three options for displaying images in LabVIEW.
Ifyou have IMAQ Visionfor LabVIEW,the image processing and analysis
softwarefor LabVIEW, you can use IMAQ WindDraw.IMAQ WindDraw

image window.Figure 4-8 illustrates using IMAQ WindDraw to display
