I want to use Get Panel Image in Labview 5.0.1 and need details on how to save the BMP data generated

I am trying to generate an application that saves a copy of its front panel on completion. This is easy to do using an invoke node with Print VI to HTML but this does not work in an .exe format. I have seen elsewhere that you have to use the Get Panel Image method, but no details are supplied in LV 5.0.1 documentation of how to use the "image" data (1-D Unsigned Byte array) that is generated. I want to save this in a format that can then be read as a bitmap in any standard graphics package. Any assistance?

Hi,
If you'd upgrade to LV5.1 or 6 you could use the 'standard' vi's for this.
You need a VI called "Write BMP File.vi". It's not shipped with LV5.0.1.
This vi only uses 3 subVI's, so perhaps someone at NI can convert it and
send it to you (sorry, I won't, it's copywrited).
If you cannot get this VI anywhere, you'll need to figure out the BMP file
format yourself. It's not too complicated, but still could take some days.
Perhaps someone figured it out before LV5.1 was released.
Regards,
Wiebe.

  • Woes of the Z10, and now i want to use it as a backup phone for my contacts and data. Can I?

    Ok, this has been a real nightmare. I am an extensive user of BB since OS4. Wanted to try the new Z10, so I got myself a spanking new one. With my prior experience in switching devices, it would be a cinch. Transfer device over via blackberry desktop software, change the emails via BIS, and I'm all sorted out. 
    OMG dear blackberry. You made me jump through so many hoops I felt like a circus dog.
    Blacberry desktop doesn't work with the Z10. No one told me. I had to find out the hard way after not being able to detect the phone. wasted half an hour of my life. Downloaded Blackberry link. Transferred my contacts and everything over, couldn't be happier.
    Hurrah, thought the nightmare was done. It was just starting.
    Micro sim. Not everyone has a microsim cutter lying around. Great. Troop off to the shop. Figured after I get the sim cut, I could also transfer the emails via BIS server. So that's what I did. (oh by the way, having to buy a micro SD card was also a pain in the A but still acceptable). The BIS server detected the change in device so it disabled my emails. No problem. Until the technician told me at the store-sorry-BIS DOESNT WORK WITH Z10. Whaaaaat? Come on blackberry! Now its just normal emails, similar to that of iphone and samsung. Emails were your best feature. Ok, this I can stomach. What I cannot stomach is...blackberrry, you just killed your frequent traveller who needs international roaming. BIS emails and BBM was wonderful. I could get by travelling from country to country on 50mb a month unlimited. Apparently not anymore. I need a full fledged international roaming plan that will cost me an arm and a leg. This is insane. 
    Finally I had the Z10 working. I manually entered all my emails. ( i have 9 emails. Thank god they are all gmail based, especially for work, if not I would have ripped all my hair out). For the whole 2 hours, I looked at it and hated it. It was hard to use, I had to keep swiping up and to the right, sometimes it wouldn't swipe well, sometimes I couldn't tell if it was swiping or not. Neither did it help that Whatsapp hasn't even been sorted out on the Z10. Whatsapp is my life. My family's on it. My friends are on it. My suppliers and my customers are on it. Oh wait. Z10-well, you can download it from the appworld, but it doesn't install. Thinking it was a problem with the downloads, I kept at it..only to have the technician tell me, "sorry, Whatsapp not working on Z10, too bad"...anyway I made up my mind to go back to the Torch. So thinking it would be as simple as changing the hub ID on the Z10 and then reactivating the Torch. All will be well. Wrong. 
    I had to run to another tel shop to beg for a spare sim shell so I could stick the micro sim into it and have it back as a normal sim. Another 2 hours of my life later, I realise-changing the hub ID on the Z10 doesn't change anything. It doesn't mean you can just use the original hub Id and all systems are go on the first phone. Changing the hub ID means changing the original one. Argh. This was so frustrating especially when the BIS server refused to switch back to the old device. Ever clicked on detect device 200 times? Well that would be me. Eventually I figured it out. Change back to the old hub ID, security wipe the horrible thing, log in with the original hub ID and reset the device via BIS server. Finally, order is restored.
    Which leads me to my question. I am thinking of porting over my contact list and data to the Z10, and using it as another phone in another country. However I want to use a different Id from my Torch since it is considered a different device but with the same data. Will blackberry link allow me to do this, or will it only switch the data provided the hub ID is the same?
    Blackberry, hand over heart, I'll use the Torch till it dies ( I just changed out the nav pad cause it was completely worn out and would act wonky in sunlight- I call it the blackberry vampire version) and after that I'm off to another smart phone platform. You've made my life miserable. It was great while it lasted, but I'm going to be migrating to another platform eventually. Thanks for the memories.

    Hello,
    BlackBerry 10 has always been advertised as a revolutionary change from prior...not an evolution. And you have both now learned the hard way just how detailed that change is. As with so many things, the assumptions made from past experience with BB are not useful for this very significant change. Rather, research done prior to purchase is the most useful activity one can undertake.
    For BB10, BIS is not required. Indeed, on some carriers, having BIS on the account actually impedes some services for BB10. BB10 uses a full on-device ActiveSync client for email now. BIS-handled email is gone...as are "hosted" email accounts (though you can get 1-year of forwarding).
    Migrating of data from old to new involves many choices before beginning. For example, if you are not afraid of placing your Calendar and Contact data "into the cloud", the Z10 can excellently synchronize that against many different providers (many more than BIS ever could). Done correctly, one can attain full end-to-end OTA synchronization of Calendar/Contact data between Outlook desktop client (and perhaps others, though I've not tested), a Z10, a PlayBook, and more (for me, I've got 2 Outlook client instances, one Z10, one PB, and one Droid...all working beautifully OTA).
    Traveling is no more challenging than in the past...your specific device must be able to function on the networks upon which you wish to roam...this is no different from before (e.g., a GSM-only device simply cannot roam on a CDMA network). To compare specifics, I've found this useful:
    http://www.bbin.in/en/2013/03/03/4-types-blackberry-z10-models-fits-better/?utm_campaign=4-types-of-...
    There are many other differences...but please try to let go of what was before, for pretty much none of it applies anymore. BB10 is revolutionarily different from before.
    Good luck!

  • How do you change the capture dimensions in the Get Panel Image VI

    My objective is to capture the front panel image to a JPEG file. I want to be able to alter the dimensions of Front Panel Image so I can exclude certain areas of the front panel. I am using the GET PANEL IMAGE.VI and the WRITE JPEG FILE.VI. I have tried using a Cluster structure from the bounds property of the GET PANEL IMAGE.VI to feed into the "rect" property of the WRITE JPEG FILE.vi however as soon as I alter the dimensions from the original dimensions it fails to save the panel image to file. Is this actually possible, or does LabVIEW restrict users from altering the panel capture dimensions? Or is this a known bug in LabVIEW v6.0?

    Hi,
    Here is a zip file containing two VIs.
    'Change Control Value.vi' when run will load the VI 'Demo.vi'. It will alter its size and the run demo.vi.
    On the front panel or demo.vi, press the Update button and the image will be written to c:\temp.
    All a bit crude but the mechanism works in labview 5.1.1. (Unfortunately I haven't got version 6.0.2 installed yet.)
    Regards
    Ray.

  • I just purchased Time Capsule today.  I ONLY want to use it as an external drive.  I do not need it for Time Machine. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please

    I just purchased Time Capsule today.  I ONLY want to use it as an external drive.  I do not need it for Time Machine. I need to free up room on my computer. As of now, I can't even load updates. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please!

    I agree with Kappy.. passing files and especially via wireless is slow as slow.
    Just need to be sure your TC is the new AC model??
    And the OS on the computer is Lion?
    Have you completed the setup of the TC via the utility? You do still need to get internet via the TC so it has to be plugged into the main router..
    Give us the full picture of the network.
    Then we can help you get into it.. whether you should put your files on it is another question.

  • I want to publish my data using datasocket connection on the net and I want to use Front panel binding. Can I?

    I want to publish my data on the net.
    I want to use front panel binding and I do not want
    to write the code. Can I do that. What should I modify
    in my datasocket server manager. The other question is, When I open my VI, I want to open automatically my DataSocket Server. My english is bad. When I open the LabView I also want to open my DataSocket server. How can I do this?

    To use datasockets to publish data to be accessed via the web, see the following document.
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/F58A6C2DAAADECB68625672400636145?OpenDocument
    This document explains how you can create an interactive Web page with which users can view data from a remote acquisition application without the common problems of a client-server application. You use the Measurement Studio DataSocket control and Microsoft Visual Basic to create a software component that you can insert in a Web page. You then use that Web page to read, write, or share data with other applications across the Internet.
    If you want to publish data but do not want to write any code, you should consider the web publishing tool available in Labview 6.1. This tool allows
    you to create a webpage to be published from the the LabVIEW webserver on your machine. See the following link for more information on ways to easily publish to the web from LabVIEW.
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/E4E311FA046EE24586256B1F0074F39D?opendocument
    As for starting the datasocket server when you run your VI, you can use the 'System Exec' VI to run the application. The exe to start the server is located in the following directory:
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\DataSocket\cwdss.exe
    I hope this is helpful.

  • How to get my images always order by file name, and not by time of captur, in all the folders in the library?

    How to get my images always order by arquive name, and not by time of captur, in all the folders in the library?
    Sorry for the poor english, but im portugues.
    In the library we can change the order of classification of image by, time of capture, name of file etc... I'm wondering if its possible define to be always by the name of file.
    It ´s possible?
    And i have other question, in print label we have an option to auto rotate to feet in page to have the image using the maximum area in the page (auto rotate, zoom etc), its possible to change the orientation of the rotation to be always in  the other direction?

    The Muvos are USB Mass Storage devices and do not have the ability to display track information based upon ID3 tags.
    The Zens all read and display track info based upon ID3 tag information that is either gathered from an online source or entered by the end-user.
    If you want the track information displayed instead of the ID3 tag information, you could edit the ID3 tags and rename the title to whatever you have as the file name. Not sure why your file names would differ so much from the ID3 tag info though, almost all of my content has the same name for the filename as it does on the ID3 tag title.

  • How to save the data that a user has written in a table (front panel) by using a "press button"?

    Hi,
    I have the following situation. I need to be able to save the data I write in a table (front panel) when desired.
    This allows me to modify, add new data, etc in the "Table" when wanted and to SAVE the latest information when wanted.
    I need to save all the table data by using ONLY one button.
    Thanks for the help!
    Kind regards,
    Amaloa S.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the feedback. :-)
    Your answered helped.
    In this case I need to save the Data into an ARRAY.
    Now I have the following issue. I will try to explain:
    Suppose that I have following:
    1. Several GROUPS of Data like this:
        ER-1234
        ER-3245
        ER-4786
        ER-9080
    2. Each GROUP has the following ELEMENTS:
        A, Bi, Pb, Sn, Sn, Cr, Ni, Ca, ...., Al
       So it would be like
        ER-1234: A, Bi, Pb, Sn, Sn, Cr, Ni, Ca, ...., Al
        ER-3245: A, Bi, Pb, Sn, Sn, Cr, Ni, Ca, ...., Al
        ER-4786: A, Bi, Pb, Sn, Sn, Cr, Ni, Ca, ...., Al
        ER-9080: A, Bi, Pb, Sn, Sn, Cr, Ni, Ca, ...., Al
     3. An each ELEMENT has DATA that I need to save, BUT! that I need to be able to get by specifying the group and the element.
        A:
             2,3   2,4    2, 8,   2,8 
             2,2   2,3    2, 7,   2,6
             2,1   2,6    2, 6,   2,7 
             2,5   2,4    2, 5,   2,3
    How can I save the ELEMENT "A" Data with the label of the GROUP and the ELEMENT so that I can recongnize it when I need to get the DATA again?
    Thanks for the help!
    Best regards,
    Amaloa.

    I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
    When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

    when i unchek the card information it was show me an error!

    Though you are being asked for card details it doesn't necessarily mean that the card will be charged for the purchase (unless you want to gift content). Have you tried entering your card's details to confirm the account ? You should then be able to remove it.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582 :
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance
    Is it a new account ? If it is then unless a new account is created by following the instructions on this page (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then you will need to enter card details (debit cards are no longer accepted in all countries) before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
