Print report and append control image to report.vi problem

why print report.vi and control image to report.vi can't executable in xp service pack 3??
before that, i use xp service pack 1. these sub vi can use successful. but after i transfer all ni file into xp service pack 3, that sub vi can't executable..why it happen???
please, help me...

When you said that you used your VIs in service pack 1 and then transferred to Service pack 3, are you referring to 2 different computers or you simply updated the computer with SP1 to SP3?
If you are using 2 different computers, were all the software and the toolkit also installed in the pc with SP3? I am using XP with SP3 and I am not having any problems with the print vi.
If you have more information, like if you get an error message, kindly post it here as well.
Best regards,
Mary Anne

I can't append control image to report on 1 page with appended text report

I am attempting to create a report which is simply header, experiment information, and two graphs of data. I am using a Easy Text Report and Append Control Image to Report. I have successfully printed out this report, but on two separate pages. The header info is on the first page, and the graphs on the second page. This doesn't seem to be a margins problem, as the header is very brief and the graphs aren't that large either. I would like to make this into a one page report. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nevermind. I neglected to see the Append Report Text.vi. That solved everything.

Bug in Append Control Image to Report in 8.5?

I am now at an end with this. I seem to have some sort of problem when using the Append Control Image to Report. I have a program that creates two reports. One is a condensed version, the other detailed. Both reports contain JPG images of some front panel displays. For the most part it seems to work except what ever it is doing appears very unstable. The problem seems to center around me trying to include a Multicoulmn Listbox. I create a Reference of it and then run that to my Append Control Image, just like any other image I want to include. If I probe the Reference, it appears to be correct, i.e. the name, etc. all seem right. However, what the image that gets included is a whole different graphic. Some times I will get the listbox, other times nothing at all. If I look in the directory and bring up the images, indeed, if it prints the wrong graphics, it also has created two of the ne that it includes.
Running the same program unmodifed seems to do the same thing, i.e. it always will print the wrong graphic. As I have tried different things to try and skirt the problem, I get different effects.
I have seen the same problem with other graphics as well, not just the listbox, but I can't come up with any hint as to why it does what it does.

I have dug into this a little further and it appears this bug has to do with creating two reports at the same time. If I only generate a single report, everything works flawless.
I placed the sections of the code that append data to the reports into a sequence so they would not happen at the same time. This seemed to have some effect, but the reports were still incorrect.
Is LabView just not able to create two reports within a single progeam?
I can work around this by creating just the detailed report for now, but it would sure be nice if there were a way to make it work.

Cluster not saved correctly in Append Control Image to Report VI

[LV8 with Windows XP]
I'm using the Append Control Image to Report VI to save the image of a control to Word (the same problem occurs if I save to Excel). This VI seems to work fine with all my controls except clusters. Not all of the contents of the cluster show up in the saved image. I have to expand the edges of the cluster way beyond the cluster contents in order for all the contents to show up in the saved image. Is this a bug? Is there a way to "realign" the contents of the cluster within the boundaries?
George

Hi,
just had a customer with the problem with this cluster picture function and I wrote a little VI that manually gets the picture, resizes it to the cluster and the rest is up to you. The only thing is, that you have to place the "zero point" of the frontpanel in the upper left corner to get the proper image.
For Users who want to upgrade: This issue is fixed with the next LabVIEW release.

Append Control Image to Report stops Source Distribution from working

I have a top level built executeable that calls various external vi's using the "Call by Reference Node" function. This seems to work ok, to a point. An additional point here is this is code that I had running well in LV8.2 and am now trying to get running in LV2010 as there have been some significant changes in LV that have impacted on this project and this has forced me to change things.
The external vi that is called is stored in a "Source Distribution" directory structure, which has been generated via its own project specifications. An examination of the directories and vi's stored at the destination looks like everything should be there.
When it comes to running the vi in the source distribution directory (from the top level built executeable) I get the following error message "Error 1003 occurred at Open VI Reference in Run HTML Report Generation VI LV10.vi->Generate Reports.vi", with the additional suggestion " The VI is not executable. Most likely the VI is broken or one of its subVIs cannot be located. Select File>>Open to open the VI and then verify that you are able to run it.". So it looks like there is something missing in the "Source Distribution" directories.
Doing as suggested, opening the vi in the "Source Distribution" with the development environment, shows that it has no broken arrow. My suspicion is the development environment is supplying whatever it is missing.
Using the built top level application, using trial and error and using the diagram disable structure, I have narrowed down the location of the problem to an "Append Control Image to Report" sub vi (its from the NI Report menus). Disabling this vi at the level it is called, allows the "Source Distribution" vi to run.  "Append Control Image to Report" is part of a class structure and I must say I have not used class structures so my understanding of their implications is very limited.
If I instead dive into "Append Control Image to Report" vi and disable the vast majority of its diagram (everything in the "No Error" case), the original error pops up again. Bit strange considering there are only controls and indicators and a case statement left.
I would appreciate any suggestions, as this has got me stumped. Hopefully I have made myself clear enough as it is all a bit complicated. Let me know if I haven't. Thanks.
Herbert Niesler

    Hi Caleb,
      "When the VI displays the broken arrow and displays that error in the dialog, does it take you to a particular diagram component? Does the diagram have any broken arrows or something?"...      it doesn't take me to a particular diagram. Is this possible in the RTE? If it is how do I enable it?
   I can follow the chain of broken arrows (front panel only) down to my vi that calls the NIreport vi that is causing the problem. However I am unable to open the NIreport vi's in the RTE, so cannot chase this any further down the call chain.
I have tried opening the offending top level vi (on a network drive) and it opens ok. When I close it, it wants to save some changes which i think might point at where the problem is. The attached file shows the screen shots of the "Explain Changes" window. Hopefully they mean something to you.
       Cheers

Append control image requires vi to be open

Having a curious problem with the append control image vi in the report toolkit.
I'm using LV8.6 with the current report toolkit .
I have an application that merges the information from 4 sections into one html report.
Using the append control image vi I add images to the report in two subvi.
When the subvi are open on the desktop everything works fine.
As soon as I minimise them to the toolbar or open them up so the image I am grabbing is not fully visible, I either miss the image entirely or only capture a portion of the image.
Am I doing this wrong?
Is there a workaround or better method to achieve this ?
I am trying to avoid using word or excell as these products may not be available on the target machine.
henry

Hi Henry,
From what you are saying it sound very similar to KnowledgeBase 339HAFUW Append Control Image to Report Does Not Update the Correct Value of my Hidden....
I made a subVI that writes to an indicator and then in the main VI I use that indictor’s reference as the input to the Append Image VI. I write to an HTML report and the image appears fine for me. During this time I never the subVI opened. However, if I open the subVI and then minimize it I notice that blanks images are outputted to the HTML file.
I will be investigating this behaviour a some more.
I have attached my VI for reference.

HP Photosmart Premium: photos print wet and with grainy image.

Photos print wet and image looks almost like a posterization; the color seems okay, but the image has a grainy patterns of tiny dots all over it.

What printer model - there are several different Photosmart Premium models? What program are you printing from? Are you using photo paper designed for inkjet printing? What are the driver settings for print quality and media type?
Web images are typically 72ppi, while for printing 200ppi or more is typically needed to prevent grainy images. Make sure the source photo's are of reasonable resolution.
If you are printing from a program such as Photoshop that gives an option of RGB or CMYK printing be sure to select RGB. While the printer inks are CMYK the driver is expecting RGB (or sRGB) source data. Printing with CMYK selected will result in very oversaturated prints.

Mail delivery error with 5510 e-print. updates and connection are ok. friend has same problem.

I have checked all of the updates and connections for my new printer. As far as I can tell, I've checked everything that needs to be checked and all is good. But, I still get the Mail Delivery error when e-printing. And my friend has the same problem with her new 5510 b111a. What could possibly be the problem? Regular printing, scanning and so on work fine with my wireless connection.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

So it sounds like it may be an Issue with the provided Email Address from your internet service provider, you are sending from ,
What i would suggest as a test is to create a Email account either with g mail and or yahoo, and try to send the email to your eprint account/Email, and see if it accepts the email also, make sure you have your printer set to Accept email from all users you can do this by logging into Eprint Center and then going into these settings and selecting that option

Standard Report - Append Control Image Width Problem / Limitation or Bug?

I am trying to create a Standard Report and am having a hard time placing a XY Graph control on the report. My problem is I want to use the maximum page area to view the graph. For this reason, I am keeping the margins small and increasing the size of the control so that it occupies almost all of the page. What I find is that after a certain limit, the XY graph image output on the report does not increase in size even if you increase the control size. In fact the image will get worse with larger size once beyond the limit. No matter How I try, the Image will not occupy all the area between the Horizontal Margins.
Either this is a bug or undocumented limitation.
Ahh.. One other possibility exists, that I am not smart enough. But if some one can help me here, It will be greatly appreciated.
I am Using LV 8.2 on XP machine.
I am attaching the VI and two PDF files, In "MyReport w1000.pdf" The XY Graph is 1000 Pixels Wide. In "MyReport w2000.pdf" I made it 2000 Pixels wide, however the size of the image did not increase on the report. Also You can notice the difference in quality between the two reports.
To use my vi just size the graph to different sizes and run it, It will output to the default Printer. If you have a PDF writer set as default printer, It will save it to file.
If anyone can help, I thank you and wish you...
Good Luck!
Mache

I do not like Vivek's workaround. "Use HTML report" is not acceptable when the question is about Standard report. People may want to use Standard report and there is a reason it is called standard.
Anyway one solution is to size the image to most optimum size - as large as possible but retaining the graphical quality. This will still leave you with large white spaces around your graph object.
Second solution that I am using is to Put the graph object and any other elements that I want on my report on a Front panel of a VI. Size the objects and front panel and objects appropriately and then use Print Panel to Printer method to Print the whole VI front panel. In my app. This VI which mimics the report is called from my app and is called Print Preview. There is even a Vi that allows you to choose the printer. http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/1327
I am attaching a Sample Report and Code Snippet to look at.
Good Luck!

I need help trying to print ,move and resize multiple images on a page to print!help!

can anyone give me to some advice. I was using an older version of photoshop elements where i could position the image i wanted to print on the page. I could resize it, move it around and add more photo's. I print small images that I cut out for jewelry making and need to be able to add 12 small images to a 4x6 print size page. My new elements is not allowing me to do that! I'm frustrated and need help!! thanks!

It should work just the same as before: create a blank document, place your images on it, then print it. The only difference is that you can't change the position of the image in the print window anymore.

Failure to print pdf and message "Whoops! There is a problem while previewing this document"

Up until now I have had no problems, but recently I have found that when clicking the attachment the above message appears and I can go no further. There is a "Download" button on screen, but the button does not operate.
I have tried to clear this by reinstalling the software (several times) but it does not clear the problem and I am unable to print any pdf's.
How can I clear this message and get running again?

Epson Printer Drivers and Leopard - Epson 740 or Epson RX700 problems

It seems even after Epson updated their printer drivers Leopard will not all me to print to my Epson Stylus Color 740 AND my Epson RX700, I must choose one over the other.
If I install the printer drivers from Apple they include drivers for the old Epson Stylus Color 740 and it works fine. The problem is it kills my new Epson RX700 printer. It still works, but I cannot print CDs.
If I delete the Epson printer drivers from my Library folder and start over with the updated Epson RX700 drivers I can print to the RX700 including to CDs, but they do not offer an Epson Stylus Color 740 printer driver beyond system 9.
I have tried installing the newer Epson RX700 drivers over top of the Apple installation but the same result happens.
Can anybody help? I need the old drivers from Apple's system 10.5 installation disk so I can print to my old workhorse Epson 740 and my Apple 630 laser writer pro. But I also would like to print to CDs using my new RX700.

I have exactly the same problem...I have submitted a query to Epson...but we all know how good support is from companies like Epson and Apple

How could I arrange control images in a report?

I appended 4 control images to a report using Append Control Image to Report. I wanted to lay two of these images in the first line and the other two in the second line. But the result of my program was one image in one line. (BTW, I did not use any New Report Line). How could I arrange control images?

Mike is right, unless the images are too wide, the report VIs will put them next to each other on the same line.
Please find the attached example that appends two charts on the HTML report. Open the .htm file with the web browser. If you make the browser window smaller, the charts will move one below the other.
