Problem sending Tab/Cluster control image to Word report.

I've set up an option for the user to send a control image to a Word report where they can decide to Print and/or save from Word (I've found the normal Print option too slow with the printer available). The Word document opens fine but I am loosing data from my indicators, without which there's not much point in printing!!
Is there a problem with Clusters, I have a chart and table on another page of the Tab in my main program and they come out fine.
I'm using LV8 with the Report toolkit and Word 2000
Thanks
Ian

This problem has been reported in previous posts on the LabVIEW forums.  LabVIEW R&D is aware of the problem, and it should be fixed in a future LabVIEW version.  For now, the only workaround I know of is to make extra space in your clusters so the controls are visible in the report.  I know it's ugly, but it's the only thing I know that works (other than reverting back to LabVIEW 7.1).

  • 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.

    If your mail service allows all of that to be sent as attachments or however you are attempting that then it's possible the email server or servers receiving the email do not allow attachments that large.
    You say you are sending "a combination of MS Word and pdf files and attachments". I've never sent anything like that. I have zipped various files into a zip file then attached that to an email for sending.
    Googles mail appears to allow a total of 25 megabytes of attachments in a single email.
    Yahoo mail appears to allow a total of 25 megabytes also.
    Microsofts mail appears to allow a total of 20 megabytes of attachments in a single email.
    Another option would be to upload everything to your onedrives public folder and provide a link for others to download all of it in the email you send out.
    A single users onedrive supposedly can have up to 10 gigabytes loaded onto it. I suppose all of that could be used by the public folder but maybe not.

  • Imaq image to word report

    I have IMAQ image and I want to generate report ald place this image in table cell:
    Can I do that without safing image on disk?

    Hi,
     I don't believe there is another way, because you have to specify the path to the file.
    What you can do is to create programmatically and delete the file at the end of your program execution.

  • 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.

  • Append Multiple Control Images as a 2-D array/tabl​e ?

    All
    I am trying to generate a report and I wish to have the following pattern:
    Image      Blank      Image
    Blank      Image      Blank
    Image      Blank      Image
    Where I intend to place my control images at "Image" and no image at "Blank"
    I thought I can build a table of control images and append but it accepts only string/numeric tables.
    Is there a easier way to include images into WORD report, equivalent to: me inserting a 3x3 table in a word document, and pasting images in 1st row 1st column, 1st row 3rd colum, 2nd row 2nd colum, 3rd row 1st column, 3rd row 3rd column.
    Please let me know, thanks
    Kudos always welcome for helpful posts

    That example was cool. I wish to add images to table using control reference.
    I tried using the control reference to get image, save as a png and then use it to add images. Is there a way that I can use the control reference to add images to my table directly ?

  • Append Control Image to Report stops Source Distributi​on 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

  • 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.

  • Controlling Image Conversion quality from Word to RoboHelp 8

    I cannot find settings that will control image quality when converting Word documents to online help files by means of RoboHelp.
    My problem is that screen captures, which were inserted as PNG or bitmaps, are reproduced with what looks like GIF or JPEG quality in the online help. I want better quality.
    I read that for Famemaker, there are image conversion settings that enable one to preserve full, lossless (screen) resolution during the conversion.
    Is there a way to do this for conversion from Word 2007 documents to RoboHelp 8?
    If not, perhaps RoboHelp 9?
    Much obliged.

    I am importing the Word documents into RoboHelp HTML version 7.0.  I did the following  experiment:
    I imported a document with images containing vector text (the images are in Microsoft Office Object format) from Word 2007 to RoboHelp HTML 7.0, I got poor quality (badly formed text / aliasing). I presume this comes from the rendering and compression performed by the import function. I also saw JPEG artifacts in the raster (screen captures) images of the kind visible at very high compression ratios and which were not visible in the original.
    When I insert the very same images, saved as PNG format at screen resolution, directly into RoboHelp HTML 7.0, I get good quality.
    It seems that the Import from Word function is rendering and converting the images to a compressed format without preserving sufficient quality.
    My questions are:
    Is there a preferred format for the embedded images in Word for better import to RoboHelp, especially when the images contain (vector) text?
    Are there accessible configuration parameters for the Import from Word function, that can control the rendering, and/or the quality level of JPEG compression, and/or give a choice between compressed and uncompressed images.
    How can I access those parameters?
    Thanks!

    The behavior that Simon describes is not a hard and fast rule, and the Export Image method used to be a bit of an exception.  It would supposedly update the controls of unopened FPs that used the method.  Reality never quite matched what was described in the documentation if I recall.
    If you pore over the detailed help you discover that this method works fine in SubVIs with some controls and not others.  Look at the characteristic 'Loads the Front Panel Into Memory', for a Picture control it is 'No', for a Waveform Graph, for instance, it is 'Yes'.  Caveat:  Relying on this level of detail to be correct in the LV help is a bit risky.  Best to try it yourself.  Not loading the FP is a good hint that the method is not going to behave in a SubVI.
    As to the problem at hand, a Picture Indicator is an odd choice to me to use this method.  You have VIs in the Picture palette to convert pictures to image data and then export the image data to a PNG or JPG or BMP file directly.  Anything you would draw and then export could be exported directly without drawing.
