I want to print the front panel without all the header stuff while the vi is running

I want to print the vi front panel without all the header information that Labview puts at the top. I want to do all this while the vi is running by pushing a button.

One option is to use the the 'Print VI to Printer' method. Beware that invoking this method repeatedly with complex front panels has caused me graphics problems in my VI's display that persist until the development environment or the built .exe app is exited and re-entered.
See: http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=5065000000080000005F5A0000&UCATEGORY_0=_49_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_0=spaz+print&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_S=0
NI has confirmed this to be a bug in 6.0x and 6.1 and has indicated that it will be fixed in the next version.
I was forced to fall back on the Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi in the report toolkit. Which does not produce printed graphs of as high as quality as the Print VI to
printer method.

RE: Print a front panel in a file

Use a pdf printer driver and use this along with the print on completion
setting for the VI that you want to print to file.
This is great for reports.

I'm not aware of a single vi that can do this. The way I've done this is to use combination of vi's described under Help in "report generation vis and function" located under "vi and function reference."

Print a front panel in a file

I would like to know if there is any function or other way to print a front panel in a file (a picture file or a print file) in execution mode.
thanks

You can use the Get Panel Image method. Place an Invoke node in your diagram, select VI as Vi Server Class and choose Get Panel Image as the method invoked.
You can also choose if you want to copy the visible area only or the entire panel.
Hope this helps.

How do i print out a menu list; I want to print the titles in my iTunes folder

I want to print the titles in my iTunes folder, can you say how to do it?
Grab only takes a screen grab.
Copy and paste won't keep the albums together.
iTunes album list is too many pages.

I have found an answer in the finder and dock section which has allowed me to copy and paste into Word or Excel. It has not copied the format of the window, but with some work will let me print the lists:-

Find and open the Script Editor or AppleScript Editor in the Applications folder and run the following:
do shell script "ls -R " & quoted form of POSIX path of (choose folder)

I don't want to print the last page of a smartform when there is no content

I don't want to print the last page of a smartform when there is no content. Kindly help

If the last page is printed, there are two possibilities
-1- The MAIN WINDOW is only in this page
-2- The page is explicitly printed from another page (new-page)
-3- There is date but its only space or skip line.
So in your form
-1- Redefine the logic of your form
-2- Check that, there are some data to be printed before calling the NEW-PAGE
-3- Do skip or write space lines before printing an actual line and not after

Print front panel without header

Hi all... i'm using labVIEW 7.1
i tried to print a page of front panel but when the page out i found there got my file path, date time, and even my VI icon...
I had tried using "Easy Print VI Panel or Documentation " and "Print Panel To Printer Method" but the result still same...
So, got any method to avoid this problem?

Go to "File...VI properties...Print Option" and uncheck the first option. See if this helps.

Is there possibility to use the front panel without installing Labview?

Hallo,
i have two small questions:
1- Is it possible to use the front panel of a labview software without needing to install Labview itself? i mean something similar to the "power point viewer" which can view the Power Point files without installing the microsoft office.
2- In an intensity Graph, how can one change the color?
thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Regarding your questions
1)You need to have Labview and Application builder installed on your machine. If you have that you can make an stand alone application (EXE) and then you can deploy it on systems that does not have LabView and can view it, However you will not be able to see the block diagram.
Here is a link that explains how to do so
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361A-01/lvhowto/exe_ex/
2) You can either do it by using propery node or marker method. The following link explains it

Manually controlling the front panel without a keyboard

Hi all,
In my application I constantly switch the keyboard and the mouse between two computers (using a KVM switch), but would like to continuously be able to control a numeric control on the front panel of one of the computers (running LabView 6.1). Even if I wasn't switching, the use of the keyboard is awkward, since the control needs to be fairly effortless, quick and smooth. After searching a bit for a knob/wheel/dial type of controller, I was only able to find the new PowerMate (Griffin Technology) as a reasonable candidate, and have yet to purchase and try to integrate it. I'm also not sure how it will work with LabView.
Am I overlooking a simple solution?
Anyone have some experience with the Pow
erMate?
many thanks, Shy

Another option: Create a simple TCP/IP application in VB or LabVIEW to
control the control.
That is,
Monitor for incoming TCP/IP data in the VI with the control.
If on your other computer you wish to make a change, just use your
little application to do it, and send the value to the main app.
Very cheap to do =)
Another option 2:
Grab the available Parallel Port digital interface design specifics for
labview. Create yourself a simple binary switch interface. Assign 4
bits for up and 4 bits for down.
That is,
sw1 = -10
sw2 = -1
sw3 = +1
sw4 = +10
Read in the digital input from the parallel port and increment your
control accordingly. You can obviously assign any values you want to
the digital inputs.
Hope this helps guide you a little bit!

Photosmart Premium C309a. I want to print on CD/DVD without using the templates provided

In the templates included in the drivers/software, there are only a few variations to use. I want to design the print-layout myself, (a blank CD/DVD), but have so far not found any way to do that. Does anyone know how to do it

Hi excolprof,
We only support disc printing with the supplied Easy Photo Print and My Image Garden software. You are welcome to try using third party programs, but as they are not supported, the only steps I can recommend would be to make sure that hte paper size is set to CD Disc within the software.

Want to print the whole month with or without overtime for each employee

Hi,
I have Oracle forms/reports10g R2, Below query returns employee overtime correctly but I want to add the whole month with it in simple words if one employee have overtime for five days in a month I want the query to return the whole month including five overtime days for each employee and let say if we have ten employees query return whole month for each employee either he have or overtime or not how can I implement this in report it becomes agony for me, anyone please suggest a solution.
Thanks and regards, Khawar.
---Query---
select o.ot_date , o.start_dt_time as start_time, o.end_dt_time as end_time, o.ot_details, et.holiday, et.staff_id, e.staff_name, e.desig
from overtime o, emp_ot et, employee e
where o.complain_no = et.complain_no
and o.inc_type_code = et.inc_type_code
and et.staff_id = e.staff_id
order by 1, 2, 3, e.staff_id

Hi Michael,
Thanks for reply, I think I didn't explain as I should, I want to print Overtime report for each employee let say employee A123 did overtime for five days in DEC than what I want is to print report for employee A123 for the whole month means when I print report blank cell should come where A123 don't have data (I mean other 25/26 days).
The structure of tables are as
SQL> desc overtime
Name Null? Type
COMPLAIN_NO NOT NULL NUMBER(5)
OT_DATE NOT NULL DATE
START_DT_TIME NOT NULL DATE
INC_REF_NO NUMBER(5)
END_DT_TIME NOT NULL DATE
INC_TYPE_CODE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10)
DISTRICT_CODE VARCHAR2(6)
BUSBAR_VOL VARCHAR2(5)
OT_DETAILS VARCHAR2(2000)
SQL> desc EMP_OT
Name Null? Type
STAFF_ID NOT NULL VARCHAR2(8)
COMPLAIN_NO NOT NULL NUMBER(5)
INC_TYPE_CODE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10)
HOLIDAY NUMBER
Each employee associated with primary key i.e COMPLAIN_NO and INC_TYPE_CODE
in each OVERTIME table record we may have more than one employee in EMP_OT table.
above detail may clear my query.
Thanks and Regards,
Khawar.

Print VI front panel to file does not work after building executable.

I am using a property and invoke node to print the front panel of my VI to an HTML file. It works fine in the development mode. After Building the application, this subvi will no longer
print the front panel. Is there some special files that included in the build??

You can use the Report Generation VIs to generate the HTML report. Specifically, you could use Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi and Save Report to File.vi to save the image of the panel to an HTML report.
Check out the examples in examples\reports to get a better idea how to use these VIs if you've never used them before.
Good luck,

How can I close all open subVI front panels, without closing my top level VI front panel when all VIs are built into executables?

I'm using the code shown in the sample VI discussed here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/353A696A3F393D9B86256E8B007A2912
to close all open VIs except my top level VI. My top level VI is actually a separate executable and the sub-VIs are their own executables. All reside under the same project. It works very well if I'm running in LabView but will not work when I build them. I added all the sub-VIs to the Always Include box in my top level VIs properties which did nothing. I also tried adding them to the Startup VIs box. This allowed me to close them all programmatically from the top level VI but it also open all the VIs at once (which was expected and not desired). I think the problem is the executables are not able to see outside their own memory space so the top-level VI never finds any other open front panels to close. Is this correct? Is there another way to go about doing this?
Thanks!

Where do I begin…..
I’m using a “server” to control 4 “client” PCs. My server opens references to 4 VIs on each client then executes them sequentially. So on a normal day, the server will run everything itself and I will have no contact with the clients. But on a several occasions, I’ve needed the ability to walk up to one of the clients and run just one of the 4 VIs.
We are updating from LabView 6.1 to 8.5 and we want to run executables rather than VIs for various reasons. I have a new VI running on the client PCs who’s only function is to initialize the shared variables and open/close the VIs. I initially thought of making the remaining 4 VIs sub-VIs but I will loose the ability to run them individually. I think I would also have to rewrite the VI running on the server since the 4 references it originally opened do not exist. I don’t think you can open a reference to a sub-VI on another PC. Can you???
As you can see, this is a huge mess. I’m still pretty new with LabView so any help you can provide would be great.
