Append report text.vi

Hi all,
Is there a way to amend this vi so that it will centre text or perhaps invent a new one?
I would greatly appreciate it as i need to centre alot of text on the page i print and can find no easy way to do it
Its just a standard report not an excel or word
Thanks
Mike

You can certainly open the Append Report Text vi and modify it as you please. You should rename it though. If you ever re-install the report generation toolkit, it would overwrite your changes if you didn't rename it. However, I don't know how you would go about centering the lines you want to append. Perhaps counting the number of characters in the line to determine the number of blank spaces needed to be inserted in order to center the line.

Can text be formatted when using 'Append report text.vi'?

The example that ships with LabVIEW 7 'Generate Report from Template (Word).vi' uses 'Append report text' to insert text into a word template via bookmarks.
My question is can this text be formatted in any way (e.g. fontsize, fontcolor, ...)? It seems I can't format the bookmark and I can't format the transmitted text. It always appears in Normal Arial 12pt.
Thanks!

Thank you,
this works well for formatting the whole report. I also found that the Word Format Text.vi placed directly behind the Append Report Text.vi changes the attributes for the previously inserted text at the bookmark.

Append report text adds

My data is being saved with a block at the end of the data. It appears to becoming in with a star due to using Array to Spreadsheet String VI. Not sure what to do to get rid of the block. The complete VI that is giving me trouble is attached.

When I use indicators the data is shown with a * at the end after the array to spreadsheet string sub vi. I am assuming that is what is causing the error. I tried to attach a spreadsheet with some sample data, E has the data that was entered by this VI. The end of the data has the block that I am seeking to prevent from being written.
Thanks

Convert seconds to [h]:mm:ss format on report text box

I want to convert seconds to hh:mm:ss format on the report text box.
I use =Format(Sum([MyTime])/(24*60*60),"hh:nn:ss"), but it does not work if the hours more than 24 hours, since the format is for the time format for the day.
I need the result shows more than 24 hours, because I want to show how many hours and minutes from my seconds value.
I can use [h]:mm:ss for Excel that it gives me the total hours more than 24 hours.
I tried to use the following to my text box
Int((sum(MyTime)) / 3600) & Format(Int((sum(MyTime) / 60) Mod 60, "\:00") & Format(sum(MyTime) Mod 60, "\:00"),
but for some reason it only shows seconds part without minute and hour part of the value.
Your help and information is great appreciated,
Regards,
Souris,

Hi sourises,
You can use the next function. Place it in a general module.
Function Sec_to_str(seconds)
Dim uur As Integer
Dim min As Integer
Dim sec As Integer
Dim cur_sec As Variant
cur_sec = seconds
If (IsNull(cur_sec)) Then
Sec_to_str = Null
Else
sec = cur_sec Mod 60
cur_sec = cur_sec \ 60
min = cur_sec Mod 60
cur_sec = cur_sec \ 60
uur = cur_sec
If (uur = 0) Then
Sec_to_str = Format(min, "#0") & ":" & Format(sec, "00")
Else
Sec_to_str = Format(uur, "#0") & ":" & Format(min, "00") & ":" & Format(sec, "00")
End If
End If
End Function

Logfile Generation utilizing "Excel" (Creating and Appending Report)

All,
As always, thanks for the help you have given me in the past....especially the Vets. I have tried to figure out a solution to my issue from the message board, but no solution seems to fit what I am doing.
Here is my situation...... I am using Labview to test my product one unit at a time. I have always used Teststand and report generation from there, but this time it is strictly Labview. This is my first attempt to create a logfile with Excel that appends one xls file everytime one unit is tested.
The way my test is set up now, I test and collect the data in an array for when I created the logfile generation VI. I took several stabs at it, looked at examples, but cant figure out the direction I need to go to create this. Here is the parameteres necessary for the logfile (spreadsheet).
-All UUT's will go into one spreadsheet and the spreadsheet will be appended by adding new data in next available row.
-Data is imported to spreadsheet in array format.
-Test data that passes will be green, test data that fails will be red (I can figure this out, but this is why I need to use Excel)
-I want to use Excel so I have more flexibility for graphs and things of that nature in the future.
It seems rather simple, but not for me.....lol. If I go to the Report Generation Toolkit, i see "Create Report" and "Append Report"....but Append Report still wants the "report input" node wired. What do I wire that to? For example, if I have an excel spreadsheet called hangover.xls, do I somehow wire hangover.xls to the input? I am having trouble finding answers. I would really appreciate a simple JPG or VI so I can understand the setup for what I want to do.
Comments and links to threads/help appreciated!

Hi Evan,
Thanks for the other examples....I thought I was going to be able to manipulate them into what I want, but ended up spending about 6 hours playing with it and up to 2am. I am getting so frustrated with this. This is new ground for me, I never have experimented with logfile creation. I am sorry to keep bothering you with this but I am ready to pull my hair out. I attached a couple Vi's....Spreadsheet import is the main VI and report.vi is the sub.....i need to rename them better but haven't got there.
First off, that VI you posted that I couldn't open, could you just take a JPG of the block diagram? That would really help.
I need to create a spreadsheet with logfile data in rows. The spreadsheet is to be appended for each unit under test. Each unit under test gets one row and all data is written at the end of the test. If you look at the spreadsheet_import.vi, I am basically taking a bunch of 1D arrays of data to create one long 1D array for one row.
Every month a new spreadsheet is created (so log file data is divided into months) , and that is what the report.vi does....it looks to see if the filename is already created and if not, sends a boolean to the write to spreadsheet file to append. I reverted to "write to spreadsheet" because for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to use the worksheet portion to do this. I would think this should be pretty simple, but I cannot figure out and its not for lack of trying.
If I use "write to spreadsheet", I am going to run into problems because I ultimately want to use a excel template with formulas but if I can figure it out, this will have to do.
All I really want to do is to create a spreadsheet if one doesnt exist or append if it does, combine all my 1d array data, and create one row with this data. The other issue I ran into before is I cant figure out how to tell Excel where the next row is.......UUGHHHH! This is definitely stressing me out as I have a deadline and I will gladly sent a case of beer to Norway for the help received.
Dying Here,
Ryan

Issue with printing report texts in Smartform

Hi ,
I developed a smartform and a print program. In the title of the smartform I need print a text depend on the company code. For this I prepared this text in the print program like the following.
case rbkp-bukrs.
when 'IT10'
smartform_struct-title = text-010.
endcase.
The problem is some times these texts are not printing on the form output. User are mad at this. when they complines me and I go and look at it, it is fine. I don't think this is printer issue. Any clues please let me know.
Thank you,
Surya

Hi Phani,
Thanks for your reply. In fact both me and user are doing the same. For user some times this text is not showing and some times it is. This is very strange.
I can do this by keeping it in text element. But for some texts we need to add some other text in between dynamically.
for example : for BE10 we need to show like,
CONCATENATE 'This text is prepared on behalf of (' <vendor name> ') ' some text' INTO w_title_text.
In this case: I have tried preparing this text in the program lines node. Here the problem is I can able to mention single quote in prepare the text. In the above example it is bold.
Basically I don't what's happening when printing report texts. But if there is a way to show single quote while prepare text that should be fine.
Thank you
Surya

Internet Explorer 9 doesn't display XML Report Text

I have just updated reasently to Internet Explorer 9 and now all of my XML Reports do not show the report text. I've attached a pic where you can plainly see the report test in TestStand but not in IE9.
The other intresting thing is if the XML is on one of our company network drives it displays fine just not if opened from the local drive.
Any ideas?
Solved!

Paul -
This is a known issue that will be fixed in the TestStand 2010 maintenance release. If you'd like to workaround this issue by modifying the XML style sheet for your report without using the Compatibility option that you found in IE9, follow these steps.
If using a default style sheet, save a copy with a different name to preserve the original file.
Open the style sheet in a text or code editor.
Search for node.firstChild.text by using the Find tool in your editing environment.
Replace the line:
            var text = node.firstChild.text;
with:
            var valueChildNode = node.selectSingleNode("Value");
     var text = "";
     if (valueChildNode)
       text = valueChildNode.text;
     else
       text = node.text;
Search for Error: by using the Find tool in your editing environment.
Replace the line:
           Error: <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="user:RemoveIllegalCharacters(.)"/>
with:
           Error: <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="user:RemoveIllegalCharacters(ErrorText)"/>
Save the new version of the style sheet.
Open TestStand and go to Configure»Report Options...
In the Contents tab, change the style sheet to point to your updated version.
Run a sequence that you expect to populate the Report Text.
Open the generated XML report in IE9 and verify that the Report Text is properly populated.
Hope this helps.

Hi Rasmus,
Quite probable your XSL is broken.
> tried to remove all the elements again
So two possibilities:
(a) You tried to - but failed
(b) You are the victim of a cache
Wait for at most 30 minutes and/or recheck your changes.
Hope it helps

Report text background color

I have added report text to my post-expression to display voltage test results. I want to be able to change the background color of the report text frame so that only failures stand out in the report. It currently defaults to magenta. Here is an example of the expression I currently am using.
Step.Result.ReportText = Locals.VoltageNames[ Locals.PortCount] + " Voltage High!\nExpected Range: " + Str(Locals.ExpVoltages[Locals.PortCount][0]) + " - " + Str(Locals.ExpVoltages[Locals.PortCount][1]) + "\nMeasured: " + Str(Locals.Voltages[ Locals.PortCount])

Trouble using read() to append html text to JEditoPane()

Trouble using read() to append html text to JEditoPane()
I`ve created the method bellow in my GEditorPane class, wich extends JEditorPane. The problem is that, after each appended text, an undesired line break is added. I checked the getText() of the pane, and there was no <br> (but a \n) where the line breaks are localized, what is strange, since html doesn`t break lines with \n.
Someone can help me ? Thankyou. SrLontra
public void append(String str) {
try {
Document doc = getDocument();
if (str == null || str.equals("")) {
return;
Reader r = new StringReader(str);
HTMLEditorKit kit = (HTMLEditorKit) getEditorKit();
kit.read(r, doc, doc.getLength());
} catch (IOException ioe) {
UIManager.getLookAndFeel().provideErrorFeedback(this);
System.out.println("IOException :: appendHTML() :: GEditorPane");
System.out.println(ioe.getMessage());
} catch (BadLocationException ble) {
UIManager.getLookAndFeel().provideErrorFeedback(this);
System.out.println( "BadLocationException :: appendHTML () :: GEditorPane");
System.out.println(ble.getMessage());
}

Hello lukik,
This is not exactly my problem, in my case, the break is not desired. For some reason, just before the appended text, a line break (\n) is inserted in the Document. And I don`t want this to happen. Added to this, why the HTML text breaks with the \n?
Anyway, the threads were very instructive ^^.
Thankyou. SrLontra.

Report text based on test results

I would like to include debug information in the TestStand report. For example, if test fails, report text = "Try replacing C1." Is there one expression that would cover all types of tests? I'm using TestStand 3.5. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

One idea is that you could use the step's additional results. Just put a debug message as one of the ideas and then set the Condition to Step.Results.Status == "Failed". Then it will only show if the step fails.
Just a thought.
