  • How to obtain the table index in word use LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office

    I created a word templete and it had several tables. When I use the "Word Edit Cell" function in LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office, the function need "table index", and I didn't find any function to get or set the table index in word document. How can I achieve my attention to write value to specified table cell using the "Word Edit Cell" function?
    Thanks for reply!
    YangAfreet

    Hi yangafreet
    You do not need to get the table index for the word edit cell.vi from anywhere. LabVIEW will automatically index all the tables in the document. See the attatched vi for an example.

  • LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office

    Hi!
    One question. I have bought the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office
    Version 1.0a and am trying to install it under Labview 7.1 but the installation stops with the error: "you need a Labview Version 6.0 runtime engine." Is there any possibility to install the toolkit anyway?
    Regards
    Stefan

    Hi
    You can try to update your Version 1.0 to Version 1.0.1. Then it should be working.
    Here ist the link for the free update:
    http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/19003CF70BB8A57186256E5A00672E2A?opendocument
    if it not works you can try to install the runtime engine 6.0 on your system. her is the link:

  • LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit in the application does not work

    I have LabVIEW7.1 and LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 1.0.1, which was updated after installed. I made a VI in LabVIEW7.1 enviroment using the Report Generation Toolkit and it works very well. After the VI was build an application.exe and installed even in the same PC, the Report Generation Toolkit didn't work. Excel that should pops-up does not do anything.
    the office i used is office xp. would you like to help me?
    thank you very much.

    When you build the application, you have to include as "Dynamic vi" in Source file tab the vi:
    _Word Dynamic VIs.vi. from _wordsub.llb
    _Excel Dynamic vis.vi from -Excelsub.llb
    in the following library
    ...\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\vi.lib\addons\_office\"

  • Difference between diadem and LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit

    I want to expand LabVIEW's reporting capabilities.  Can someone tell me what the difference is between DIAdem and the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office.

    Hello Mr Bean,
    There are several major differences between the two solutions. I'll try and outline them as good as I can ...
    The biggest different is that LabVIEW and its toolkits are programming tools and DIAdem is a ready to run application.
    The LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit basically provides an extensive library of VIs that allow you to connect LabVIEW to the MS Office library and create and edit reports in Word and Excel.
    DIAdem is a stand alone application that was designed to post-process data from various sources. The tools included in DIAdem are:
    1. NAVIGATOR: Allows you to import data from files (ASCII, binary, Excel, etc.) as well as DataBases (SQL/ODBC, Citadel, ASAM, etc.). The unique DataPlugin technology available within DIAdem allows you to import vitually and data file by creating a DataPlugin that describes the data format and gets linked to DIAdem. More information at: http://www.ni.com/diadem/dataplugins.htm
    2. VIEW: Graphical and Numerical data inspection tool. Use cursors to zoom and scroll through your data, edit your data graphically and numerically and compare different tests.
    3. ANALYSIS: DIAdem has a wide range of analysis functions, ranging from simple functions like integration and differentiation to FFTs, Order analysis and 3D data analysis.
    4. REPORT: The DIAdem REPORT tool allows you to create reusable report layouts that can contain multiple axis systems (2D, 3D and polar plots) as well as tables (2D and 3D) and variables. The REPORT tool generates templates that can be usedwith multiple data sets due to the inclusion of automatic (or manula if required) scaling as well as extensive use of variables for annotations. Finished reports can be exported to printers, graphics files, the Windows Clipboard, HTML pages and PDF files (PDF writing is build into DIAdem, no extra software required). Using Scripts, it is also possible to create Word, Excel or Powerpoint reports from DIAdem automatically.
    5. SCRIPT: The DIAdem scripting tools allows users to record macros or write scripts that automate complete sequences, for the import of data, via extensive analysis, to creating a publication ready report. Scripts can make reports "intelligent" by modifying the appearance of a report based on the data or calculation results that are going to be displayed in the report.
    I recommend you check out the following link for more information: http://www.ni.com/diadem/
    DIAdem is an extremly powerful tool for report generation. I am leaving to go on a business trip to Asia, but I would be more than happy to give you an Web presentation on DIAdem after I have returned. We could use your data and create a DIAdem report Script together online. My Email address is [email protected] and I will be back the week of Thanksgiving.

  • How do I put data into a template using the Labview report generation toolkit for Microsoft Office?

    I am running Lookout 5.0 and have recently purchased the Labview Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office to create reports from my Lookout logged data. Since I have never used Labview I am having my problems. I tried following the tutorials but they do not seem to be examples of what I want to do.
    I log rainfall totals (1 spreadsheet)in Lookout from 40 different sites in 5 minute increments. I copy these totals and paste them into another spreadsheet which sums them up to give me hourly totals and then paste those totals into a spreadsheet for distribution.
    In Labview I create a new report and use the distribution sheet as my template, but how do I complete
    the steps of loading the raw 5 minute data into labview and then paste it into the hourly total spreadsheet and then transfer those totals into the distribution template?
    I have been trying to figure this out for over a week, and I am getting nowhere.
    Any response would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Lookout saves the files in .csv form which can be opened in Excel. I did make some progress by using the "append table to report" vi which allowed me to put values into an array and then those values were entered into my template on my report vi.
    Where I am stuck now is I want to be able to put values into my template from a .csv file, not from an array I have to manually put numbers in.
    Once those values are in my template I want to pull summed values from the template and place them into a final excel file for printing.
    I have attached examples of the files I am working with to help you better understand what I am trying to do.
    I hope that makes sense.

  • National Instruments releases LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office.

    The new LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office is a library of flexible, easy-to-use tools for programmatically creating and editing Microsoft Word and Excel reports from LabVIEW. Whether you need to generate reports summarizing manufacturing test results or compile process statistics to improve your production yields, this toolkit speeds your development of customized, professional reports.
    To see examples of this toolkit or get more information please visit :
    http://www.ni.com/labview/report_gen_toolkit.htm

    It is a bit limiting though. I built my own set of VI's, a toolkit if you will, that does some of what this tookit does. But, I also wrote some functionality that isn't available in NI's kit, such as creating charts as separate worksheets and linking the charts to data on another worksheet. All in all, the toolkit is great, but you can't get as much out of it as you can using the ActiveX calls yourself.

  • How to update data to excel in runtime with LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit

    hi,All
         i am using LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit,and a newer.i want to insert the data in excel for every loop.
         so at first,need to creat a excel file(xxx).and when every loop end,the test data can be insert into the file(xxx).when the test finished,the file will be saved.
         i have seen the examples in LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit, all of them need to creat a new file.i need update the data in the same file.
         can you give me some advances for that?
         my labview's version is 8.5 and LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit's version is 1.1.0.
         thanks a lot.

    Hi cat099,
    One question, why don't you store data of each loop, say in shift register and update all data in excel  at once when your test is finished.
    It will be easy. Or else, if you want to build same functionality as you mentioned, then you can build your own vi to write in excel. No need to use report generation toolkit.
    See attached example.

  • How to save Charts to a word document using LabVIEW Report Genereration toolkit?

    I just started using the LabVIEW Report Genereration toolkit, but I can't figure out how to save Waveform Charts (one dimensional data versus time, instead of Graphs) to a Word document. Can somebody give a suggestion? Thanks!

    Nina,
    In MS Word, you have 2 options when you select Insert Object:
    Microsoft Excel Chart
    Microsoft Graph 2000 Graph
    If you select Insert Picture, you can choose Chart. This is the same chart as when you select Microsoft Excel Chart.
    To insert this chart, you will use Word Insert Graph.vi. This VI calls Word_Insert_Chart.vi, that uses ADO object Graph.Chart and its properties and methods.
    From the Microsoft Help:
    Create a chart by using Microsoft Graph
    When you create a chart by using Microsoft Graph, a chart and its associated data are displayed in a table called a "datasheet."

  • Labview Database Connection Toolkit and decimal point

    Hi,
    on my system I use "," (comma) as decimal point.
    In Labview Options I unflagged "Use localized decimal point", and numeric controls and indicators use "." (dot) as decimal point.
    The problem is that Labview Database Connection Toolkit keeps returning floating point numbers as strings with comma as decimal point.
    Has anyone experienced this issue?
    Is this related to Labview or MySQL ODBC Connector (that I'm using to connect to a mySQL DB)?
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Marco

    You have two or three places to look. First there is the DCT. Second, there's a couple layers there that could cause problems (the mySQL drivers and ADO) and then there's even the posibility that the issue could be in the DBMS itself.
    I would start by burrowing down through all the DCT layers and find the spot where the results are actually being read back fromt he database. If the resutls are read as variants and converted to LV datatypes, the problem is on the LV side. If the values are being read as strings and converted, the problem coiuld be on the other side.

  • LabView database connectivity toolkit 1.0.1 compatibility with MS-ACCESS 2010 / Labview report generation toolkit for Office 1.1.3 compatibility with Office 2010

    In the very near future we will be forced to upgrade to Office 2010 Company wide and I am a little concerned with some of our older test platforms that have applications built in LabView 8.2.1.  These applications save data to MS-ACCESS 2000 databases using the LabView database connectivity toolkit 1.0.1.  Office 2003 is also loaded on these test platforms with all test reports generated using the LabView report generation toolkit for Office 1.1.3.
    I have not gotten my hands on a copy of Office 2010 yet to see if there will be any compatibility issues.  Does anyone have any experience in this area?

    The MS-Access part is fairly well isolated through the ADO interface LabVIEW uses. The only possible problems there IMHO are difficulties with possible Acess compatibilities itself such as an example, SQL statement you may have invoked directly through the ADO interface. Maybe you did use a depreciated command back then that has since been removed. As long as the only thing you do are simple INSERT and SELECT statements only, I would expect it to just keep working.
    The Report Generation interface is a different beast. Microsoft manages to change the Automation interface with every version of office in a way that strongly binding applications like LabVIEW break on. There is no good way around that except not changing those methods, but that is a cause that has been lost already. You will certainly have to verify the version dependant Report Generation API VIs to still work with Office 2010 and most likely you will have to make some changes to those VIs to make them work again with the modified ActiveX interface of Office 2010. Note, that I have no experience with porting report generation to Office 2010 but I have had some headaches from porting that between Office 97, 2000, 2003, and 2007.

    You are right, the page does not say that but the local distributor says that I have to purchase an update to the latest version of LabView: about USD 1000. I can't believe that.

  • How to set tabstops in MS Word using the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit

    Using the Report Generation Toolkit of LabVIEW, I need to set multiple tabstops that very in distance in MS Word.  I also have different sets of tabstops that I use and re-use at different times in the same report.  Is there a way to set the tabstops under program control?  I searched through the various VIs and found that there is a property ("Tabstops", "Word.Tabstops") in the _ParagraphFormat property node that refers to tabstops.  I found it in the Word Format Paragraph (adv) VI.  Unfortunately, I could not determine how to use it.  Any suggestions?  Is this an operational element?

    Bluebell,
    Sounds like you've already done some fantastic work to expose the various properties and methods of MS Word. It took me about 20 min before I could find the specific property that you were talking about! I found it under Word.Document>>Paragraphs>>Tabstops>>Add. There is a position, alignment and leader parameter that you can set from this property node. I've found that the best way to discover what these parameters do is to simply experiment. You could also try using the macro recorder in Word, perform the specific task, and then look at the code generated. I'm guessing that position sets the position of the tabstop itself. It sounds like your application is really specific. For such a specific task, I think I'd write a macro and call that macro from LabVIEW.
