You can pass an image using Network Shared Variables from a VI 32-bit to a VI 64-bit.
Follow the steps below to configure the Network Shared Variable in both LabVIEW versions.
In LabVIEW 32-bit:
- Create a variable in LabVIEW from the Project Explorer window by right-clicking My Computer in your project and selecting New»Variable.
- Configure your variable by giving it a unique name, Image data type, and setting the Variable Type to Network-Published.
- Deploy the variable to make it accessible from the VI 64-bit by right-clicking on the library and selecting Deploy All.
- In your LabVIEW 32-bit application, drop the ImageVariable32 Shared Variable into your code.
- Right- click the ImageVariable32 and change the Access Mode to Write.
- Connect the ImageVariable32 to the Image Out indicator.
In LabVIEW 64-bit:
- Create a variable in LabVIEW from the Project Explorer window by right-clicking My Computer in your project and selecting New»Variable.
- Configure your variable by giving it a unique name, Image data type, setting the Variable Type to Network-Published and enable Aliasing.
- Select Bind to: PSP URL and browse to the previous Network Shared Variable configured before, in this case, to the ImageVariable32.
- Deploy the variable by right-clicking on the library and selecting Deploy All.
- In your LabVIEW 64-bit application, drop the ImageVariable64 Shared Variable into your code.
- Right- click the ImageVariable64 and change the Access Mode to Read.
- Connect the ImageVariable64 to the Image Out indicator.
