Printing front panel of VI - no borders appear around the indicator box values

Dear readers,
I am using Labview 6.1 on a pentium PC with adequate memory etc. I've been trying to print out the front panel of my VI using a postscript printer and the post script printing options available in the Labview. I notice that the printed front panel doesn't show the rectangular borders that is supposed to surround the values contained in indicators and controls.
Apart from this problem, everything looks good, such as it prints out in the way that I want...with nice white background to not waste ink.
Could someone please advise me on what options to set up in order to print the borders around the indicator box values? Thanks very much for any help.
I noticed that for
an older Labview for the apple Mac, namely Labview 4 for the Mac, you can just print the window of the front panel and everything comes out wonderful....you get the borders around the indicator and control box values.
Thanks again.

Hi Mike!
Thanks for replying to my post. Greatly appreciated. Is it possible to set the colours for the indicator edges? I'll attach a screen capture of my front panel, and also a digi-pic of the print out. The printout is ok except there's no borders around the indicator values. I printed it out on a hp laserjet 6MP printer as well as on a hp 4050 printer and the printed panels have no borders around the values. I'll attach my front panel vi too. Thanks a lot Mike.

  • Problem printing front panels from LabVIEW 5.1 using a different O.S.

    I have an excecutable that was developed using LabVIEW 5.1 on a Windows NT OS platform. I am attempting to run this executable on a PC using Windows XP. Everything appears to be running just fine until I attempt to run a portion of the program that executes a "print front panel upon execution" function that prints out a table, created from a sub vi running in the code. The print command executes, however, the font sizes that are generated on the hardcopy are not what I had originally intended them to be. Also, sometimes the page breaks are in the wrong place, thus making my printouts quite illegible. I ran the same executable on a workstation running Win2000, using the exact same printer, and everythin
    g printed out just fine. Is NI aware of this issue, and are there any possible solutions for it?

    The versions of labView that NI supports win XP are versions 6.1, 7.0. and 7.1
    You could be seeing an incompatability between version 5.1 and XP
    LabView 5.1.1 officially supports windows 95/98/NT/2000

  • Cannot print front panel

    I have tried to print the front panel and the block diagram.  The front panel is blank but I do get the block.  What is the issue.  Tried on another pc and both do not work.
    Dg

    A little unclear as to how you are doing it
    Are you using print option in menu>>File>>Print??
    Or, Are you using LabVIEW to programatically print/ 'append to report' your  Front panel?

  • LV8.0 Auto-print front panel doesn't work

    On the front panel in VI Properties/Print Options the 'Automatically print front panel every time VI completes execution' is cleared when you exit the VI Properties dialog and return to it.  Consequently, you can't get the front panel to print by checking this option. 
    Brent

    Bshu,
    You're absolutely right. That functionality is faulty. A work around may be to use the operate>>print at completion function. FYI: if you enable this property, the  VI Properties/Print Options the 'Automatically print front panel every time VI completes execution' turns black. R&D is aware of both of these problems. Thank you for you're very valuable feedback and post to let us know if there's anything else we can help out with.

  • How can I get a reference to all controls on a front panel of one type )for example of the type Text Ring?

    I'd like to set the strings[] property of all the Text Ring controls on a front panel at once without creating a property node for every text ring. How can i do that?

    This is likely more complicated than making property nodes for each
    ring, but you can do it. Make a subVI that takes in a panel reference,
    reads the array of control references, loops through them looking for
    rings, and modifying the Strings[] property on each ring.
    The part of this that will probably be the least obvious, when you
    have an array of control references there are two ways to find out
    if an element is a ring. You can read the classID and compare it
    to the cla
    ssID of a true ring control. An alternative is to cast
    the control reference to a ring control using a Cast to more specific
    node and wire the error out to a case structure. The error case is
    where the objects that aren't rings will go. The success case case
    where you will have a valid ring refnum that you can use to modify
    the strings.

  • How adjust front panel placement of a sub VI in the subpanel

    Ok so I've learnt how to use tabs and how to place Sub VI's in the tabs. Last, I would like to change the position of the front panel of some of these sub VI's
    because they're not positioned to my liking  
    Whats the way to go?
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    by default, a VI loaded into a subpanel will show up with the same FP position as when you last saved it.  That's not often what you want, and it's easy to move the FP around inside the window and forget you're changing it.  But this should be good enough to get going.
    one trick that I use is to load the subvi into the subpanel with the same origin in each.  So both the front panel and the pane that it is in have their own coordinates.  For the pane (which is normally the window boundary, and here is the subpanel boundary) the origin is 0,0 at the upper left corner.  On the front panel, look for a little dot with the grid visible.  That's (0,0) on the FP.
    So what we can do programmatically is to use property nodes to set the pane origin to the front panel origin:
     (LV2009f2)
     ok so the snippet ate my constant but there should be two 0's (I32) in that cluster.  Just create a constant on the Origin property and it'll make it.

  • Grey borders appear around inserted photos in videos

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and am quite new to video editing. I am creating a video of myself talking against an infinity white background. I'm trying to insert some excel charts next to me talking. I've turned them into photos (JPEG). However when I insert the photo into my video, clicking no to 'video merge' a thin grey border appears around the photo. I've checked and this is not there in the photo. It also appears if I leave the photo in photoshop format. Is there a way to not have this border? Let me know any important details I've missed off.
    Many thanks,
    Laurie

    Thanks for the follow up. Glad that the cropping suggestion worked for you.
    For your convenience, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement at the top of this forum. All the details of the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce Roll Back are included
    Announcement: Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    Hide Details
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

  • I have a contact I no longer use and have deleted it from Contacts on my iMac and iPad, but it still keeps appearing in the To: box when I enter a similar contac, obote the iMac and iPad. How do I completely delete it to prevent this from happening? Thank

    I have a email address I no longer use and want, so have deleted it from my address book on my iMac and iPad. It kept reappearing when I started to type a similar email address, so I was advised to delete it by going to Mail on the iMac...  Mail > Window > Previous Recipients... and Delete from there... which worked, and it now no longer appears in the To: box when typing a similar email address in Mail on my iMac.
    However, even though I have deleted the same contact/email address on my iPad, it still appears when typing a similar email address in Mail on the iPad. How do I perform a similar action as I did on my iMac, to prevent it from reappearing?
    Hope someone can help.
    Thanks, Simon.
    On the iMac..

    The only way that I currently know of to remove old and invalid email addresses on the iPad is to restore back to factory defaults, which I assume that you won't want to do. You could try leaving feedback for Apple, and maybe in a future update we'll be able to edit them : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • While creating a new email, various portion of the mail will appear in the trash box.

    after creating a new email and send sucessfully,  breakdown of the full content in the mail will appear in the trash box without my intention. The breakdown were in seperate uncompleted  mail/mails depending on the lenght of the email. Everytime after a simple email of about 3-5 sentences conpriseing of less then 30 words, 5 - 10 seperate trash box mail appeared. it worst when duration is longer while creating the email. Any advise to eliminate this situation??

    You probably have "Store draft messages on the server" checked in the Mailbox Behaviors of the mail account(s) on which you are experiencing this, and the server's reaction to having a second, third, etc. draft of the same message stored is to put the older copy in the trash. Not all servers react like this, but some like Gmail seem to so do.
    If you won't need to change Macs in the middle of composing an email message and can live with retyping a message you were composing at the time of a crash, you can probably turn off this feature.

  • I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are not recognized. How can I fix this?

    I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are "not recognized". I thought maybe my antivirus software was setting up a firewall, but I have disabled it, so that's not the case. Any suggestions as to  how I can fix this?

    If the downloads are gone, it's possible that Windows is removing the downloads based on security policies set in IE. I realize that sounds strange, but it's related to Firefox's feature of submitting downloads to your virus scanner and marking them as having come from the internet.
    To test this theory, you could try disabling the scan feature. I assume you have good "real time" antivirus protection which checks every file saved to your hard drive. (If not, you really should get that, and you can use Microsoft's free [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials Microsoft Security Essentials] for now until you have time to review all the available choices.)
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to toggle its value.
    Firefox now should ignore Windows' download security. Does it change how Windows handles the file?

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.
    If this does not work, set it up as new device, explained here:

    If still no luck, get it serviced by Apple or visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place and let them have a look at your device.

  • I am trying to get the artwork for an album. "Artwork Not Modifiable" appears in the artwork box and it doesn't let me drag artwork.  What can I do to fix this?

    I am trying to get the artwork for an album. "Artwork Not Modifiable" appears in the artwork box and it doesn't let me drag artwork.  What can I do to fix this?

    Words simply can't describe what a kludge iTunes has become.  Every time Apple fixes one problem, a dozen more pop up.  It's like trying to hold a bunch of ping-pong balls under water simultaneously.
    The immediate problem is that Lion with iTunes buggers the artwork.  Some it loses, some it can't find, and some appears and disappears like the Flying Dutchman (look it up...).
    The bigger issue is that so MUCH of iTunes is bad, in general.  Apple trys to use iTunes as a Swiss Army knife, using it to synch iPhones, iPads, etc.  The app has become so generic that it is actually good at nothing.
    The interfrace is kludgy; moving the library from one location to another virtually guarantees a wasted day and usually lost art, music, or backups.
    In general, Apple's hardware and software is relatively ergonomically designed.  I-Tunes, however just plain SUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!

  • When I touch an icon, a square appears around the icon - can't slide the screen

    I have the newest iPad and the screen is locked on the home screen.  When I try to slide the screen to the left to show other pages on my iPad it doesn't work.  Infact, when I touch an icon, a square appears around the icon, I have to double tap the icon in order for it to open.  When I go to settings thinking that something on the settings got messed around with, I can't move the screen up using my fingers, I can't move it up at all in fact.
    Should I try to remove the sim card to see if it will reset itself?  i have tried to turn it on and off.  If I remove the sim card, will I lose everything on my iPad?
    Someone please help,
    Thanks,
    Rob

    That's a new one......Removing your sim card would not likely have any effect on this and no, even if you removed your sim card, you would not lose data from iPad.
    The first thing I'd try is to reboot your iPad:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart (you won't lose any data or settings).  See if your iPad operates normally after it comes back up.
