How can I acquire screenshots using labview?

Hi
Is it possible to acquire screenshots of an instrument using labview? I do not want to plot the graph by acquiring the X-Axis and Y-Axis data points. I just want to get the screenshot of a spectrum analyzer in the form of HPGL file using labview. Does anyone know whether this is possible or not...
Thanks

I assume you want to get an image of the front panel of your VI, is this correct?
You won't be able to generate HPGL vector format, but you can natively save it as BMP, JPG, or PNG, to be converted later.
As a simple example, you could place the attached VI (LabVIEW 7.1) inside a case structure that gets triggered whenever you want to take a picture of the calling VIs front panel. Modify as needed.

  • How can I acquire and record pre trigger samples

    Hi I would like to acquire and record pre trigger samples. I have used many different methods including: 
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9DE9E3E4DAD​9EE93862579C60018B6EA
    the problem is I would like to acquire pre trigger samples before start trigger not reference trigger. I think reference trigger is used for stop triggering not start triggering. Could you please help me on this
    Thanks? 

    Hi tintin_99,
    I hope you are well and thank you for posting your issues to the forum. 
    I wanted to ask you some further information in regards to your application:
    - What version of LabVIEW do you have?
    - What operating system (OS) are you running on your PC/laptop?
    - Which application programming interface (API) are you using? NI-DAQmx, NI-Scope?
    When you mention you want to acquire the pre-trigger samples before the start trigger and not the reference trigger, how are you currently doing this? Would you be able to post up your code so that everyone can have a look at it?
    Here are some further links to look at:
    - Continous Analog Input Acquisition with Pre-trigger Scans using 2 E-series Boards
    - How Can I Acquire Pretrigger Samples with NI-SCOPE?
    - Software Analog Trigger with Pre-Trigger Samples
    - Synchronized Analog Input/Ouput with an Analog Trigger and Pre-Triggered Samples
    I hope this is alright for now.
    Kind Regards,

  • How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini

    How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini? 
    On my PC I simply have a master return email address and use a POP for the secondary address.  Both are through the one exchange account without a problem.  I need to be able to do the same on my Ipad.

    Ah, I should have made that clear.  My domain didn't come from google.  It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail.  I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
    Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such).  Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender.  I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

  • How can I install or use Microsoft Office on my iPad 4?

    How can I install or use Microsoft Office on my iPad 4?

    You cannot. Microsoft has not made a version of Office for iOS. There are however a number of apps that are compatible with Office documents. Apple makes iOS versions of their own iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) that are available free if you purchase a new iOS device and that can be purchased separately for older devices. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go,  Quickoffice and Office2 HD.
    If you can accept needing a network connection whenever you want to use the apps and have an Office 365 subscription, Microsoft has just released their Office Mobile app, though it has significant limitations. Or a server-based solution such as CloudOn might be an option for you.
    Regards.

  • How can I make server use single class loader for several applications

    I have several web/ejb applications. These applications use some common libraries and should share instances of classes from those libraries.
    But applications are being deployed independently thus packaging all them to EAR is not acceptable.
    I suppose the problem is that each application uses separate class loader.
    How can I make AS use single class loader for a set of applications?
    Different applications depend on different libraries so I need a way that will not share library for all applications on the domain but only for some exact applications.
    When I placed common jar to *%domain%/lib* - all works. But that jar is shared between all applications on the domain.
    When I tried to place common jar to *%domain%/lib/applibs* and specified --libraries* attribute on deploying I got exception
    java.lang.ClassCastException: a.FirstDao cannot be cast to a.FirstDaoHere http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19879-01/820-4336/6nfqd2b1t/index.html I read:
    If multiple applications or modules refer to the same libraries, classes in those libraries are automatically shared.
    This can reduce the memory footprint and allow sharing of static information.Does it mean that classes should be able to be casted ?

    You didn't specify which version of the application server you are using, but the config is similar as long as you know what to look for. Basically, you need to change the classloader delegation. Here's how it is done in 8.2

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    The MAS should use any credits first and then apply the remainder to a listed bank card.

  • I have moved from a G5 Powermac to an Intel Mac Pro and am porting over Items from a Backup HDD. How can I access and use drawings and documents created on the PC computer on the Intel computer ?

    I have moved from a G5 Powermac to an Intel Mac Pro and selectively porting over items from a backup hard drive.
    How can I access and use documents and drawings created on the PC based computer ?

    Clarisworks, you need Appleworks, which will only work with Mac OS X10.6.8 or earlier.  See this tip if you must go newer.  Mac Pros with newer hardware configuration than July 20, 2011 can't use Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier without this tip and then it would be Mac OS X Server.  I'm not sure if the new black Mac Pro supports that configuration or not.
    iPhoto, there is an iPhoto for all versions of Mac OS X.
    iTunes, there is an iTunes for all versions of Mac OS X.  Note with iTunes versions 11 and later, which are needed for syncing with iOS 7 or or later, you will lose coverflow, if you liked that feature.  Sadly you can't run an older version of iTunes from within Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
    Sketchup: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/60107 shows the versions that will work with intermediate Mac OS X versions, and this shows the latest version: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/36208 be sure to click on the operating system you choose to use.
    GIF - Viewing GIFs Apple's Preview can do that.  Editing them, I like http://www.lemkesoft.com/ Graphicconverter.
    DMG is able to be opened by all versions of Mac OS X.  This are just "disk images" which store programs on a virtual disk that will open when double clicked.    Frequently you'll find the installer of the said program inside.  To find out if the program itself is compatible with 10.7 through 10.9, see http://www.roaringapps.com/
    Otherwise see the resources on:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455
    If you end up deciding to stick with Snow Leopard.

  • How can I return to use OSX (Yosemite) after installing Windows 8.1?

    How can I return to use OSX (Yosemite) after installing Windows 8.1?
    I cannot find Boot Camp on my iMac (late 2013) with windows installed. So I downloaded it, but I cannot run it because of an error (x64...). I tried to use my USB stick with bootcamp installed but nothing. When I turn my iMac on it starts automatically with windows. I tried to search it, but I found only the setup and it doesn't work. How can I get back to my APPLE iMac? How can I use OSX?
    Excuse me for the (maybe) uncorrect language, I speak Italian.

    Hello!
    You can start your Mac up with the [alt] (sometimes [option]) key pressed and you will get the Startup Manager.

  • G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    The slightly bigger question is whether you want to move all movie content to the external drive (essentially meaning that drive will always need to be attached when you're working with your videos), or whether you just want to archive older videos off to the external drive.
    If you want to move all videos, then just move the 'Movies' folder in your home directory to the external drive, then create an alias of the external 'Movies' back in to your home directory. Now the 'Movies' icon in your home directory will point to the external drive and everything will just work (as long as the external drive is attached when you launch iMovie)
    If you want to archive older movies then each Movie should have its own subdirectory within your Movies folder. These can easily be moved off to the external drive, and moved back should you ever need to work on those movies again.

    Maybe you are looking to re-purpose this equipment versus getting rid of it if so, the best thing to do is search the internet for tutorials.  And I say this because it's what I would do, there are a lot of tutorials online.    Hope you can find good use for them.  Worse case scenario if you can't find something right now, package them very nicely and when you come across something unbox and enjoy.  I've re-purposed a mac color classic and LOVE IT!!

  • I have a dll file, i want to send messages from this to the device ,how can i do it in labview

    Hi,
    I am a new user of labview.
    I got Vector Card, DUT, DC Power supply and .dll file. Hoe can i connect dll file and hoe to senf the information to the device,
     i want to send/receive a message to that device . and measure temperature , humidity of the device. is any one can help?
    i have a .dll file, i want to send messages from this file to the testing device ,how can i do it in labview?

    Dear Sandy,
    How are your DUT, Vector Card and your PC connected?
    What vector card is this?
    There are a huge amount of Knowledge base articles that you can access from www.ni.com.  Simply go to the website and do a search on dll, etc.
    There are also a lot of example problems shipped with LabVIEW that will be very helpful for you to learn from and to modify to meet your needs.  Go to File»Find Example ....
    There are LabVIEW classes taught locally as well that are very helpful.  If you're interested I can arrange for you to receive an email with info about it.
    Sincerely,
    Sammy Z.

    How can I access and use the alphabetical keyboard of the phone ? I cannot find the answer in the manual of use.  Thanks for your help !

    Recently I was abroad and tried to contact my voicemail to check my messages. I was asked to enter a password and did not know how to use the letters below the figures on the keyboard.  I had to give up and wait until I was back in my country (no password is then needed).

  • HT201342 I have an icloud address but now I am told "that address is taken".  How can I start to use it again?

    How can I start to use my own address?  It is old from .me

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately you cannot change an iCloud mail address once you have created it. You can however use an iCloud alias which you can set up at iCloud.com.
    To create an alias.....
    Navigate to the Mail feature at iCloud.com and click on the gear icon in the bottom left corner. Choose Preferences from the drop down menu, then select accounts from the options across the top, here you can create your alias.
