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

  • Problem Printing Front Panel

    I'm having a problem printing the front panel of a particular VI.  When I set the print option to Standard Printing the printer prints nothing.  When set to Bitmap Printing it works, but it's not the type of printout that I want.  In both cases the Print Preview appears the same.  Also, all my other VI's print in Standard Printing mode with no problems.
    I've read other posts indicating that the cause may be that the VI is sending a print code to the printer telling it not to print.  How can I determine if this is the case?  If it is the case, how do I fix it?  This VI's front panel has nothing special about it relative to other VI's that print correctly.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If it happens using the menu, then it's not that your code sends a "do not print" action to the printer.
    Try copying front panel items, one or two at a time, from your wonky VI to a new VI, and print the new VI after every move.
    Maybe you can find one item that causes it.
    If you're on a Mac, print it to a PDF file, and see if that's OK. If you're on Windows, you can use Print2PDF or something similar to act like a printer and show you what the printout would be.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Remote front panel with labview 8.6 executable

    I am trying to create a remote front panel of my application, built in an executable using Labview 8.6. I want to run that application on a target machine (not the one used for developing the project) and view and control the front panel of the VI from a web browser on another computer.
    I have followed these steps: 
    How can I use remote front panels with Labview Executables?
    But when I finally open the web browser and navigate to the URL I obtain that the page cannot be found.
    I have my Labview project created and I have built a web page using Web publishing tool. I have saved it in my Labview 8.6/www directory and added it to the project. I have built my executable including HTML file and copied all the obtained folders to the target PC.
    Then, I have modified the .ini file like in the step 7, but when I arrive to the step 8 I don't know what to do. Which  niwebserver.conf should I modify? The one localized at Labview 8.6 directory of the target machine? Or the one that is created in the directory where I have copied the executable when I run the executable?
    In the DocumentRoot tag  I have to replace the default Labview/www with the location of my HTML file. Should I use quotation marks or no?
    Have you got any ideas of what is happening?
    Thanks!

    Ok, but when I create the executable, in the folder where the application.exe and .ini are there isn't a file called niwebserver.conf. When I run the application a file with this name appear in the directory (the one I include), but it hasn't the section Directives that apply to the default server as in the manual.
    What I have done is to copy the niwebserver.conf file ubicated in the Labview 8.6 of the target machine in the same directory of the executable but it doesn´t work...
    niwebserver.conf
    ServerRoot "."

  • X-Fi Titanium PCI-E and the front panel from my case

    The plug from my frontpanel fit onto the soundcard, but when I plug in a headset I can't hear anything. I can hear sound on the left side of my headset when I plug it in only half the way.
    My Case: Tronje H-650B
    What makes me thinking is the fact that I can hear sound, but only on the left side of my headset and only when the plug is only the half way in.
    Hope you can help me to solve the problem.
    Greetings.

    Re: X-Fi Titanium PCI-E and the front panel from my casev I tried hooking up the HD Audio front connecto of my Lian-Li A05 to the X-Fi Titanium. However, the headset is not detected (neither in nor out). Looking at the pinout I noticed that my connector has the correct pins for the signal, but lacks the following wires (completely missing):
    <div class="pCellBody">4 PRESENCE#? Acti've low signal that signals BIOS that an Intel HD Audio dongle is connected to the analog header. PRESENCE# = 0 when an Intel HD Audio dongle is connected<div class="pCellBody">7 SENSE_SEND? Jack detection sense line from the Intel HD Audio CODEC jack detection resistor network
    I take it these are required to make the card detect the devices. Is there a way to circumvent this?
    Also, the manual gives a confusing description:
    "Intel HD Front Panel Audio standard only.
    Not compatible with AC97 or Intel-compatible HD Front Panel Audio"
    So it is compliant with Intel, but also not compatible with Intel? Or is there a difference between "Intel" and "Intel-compatible"? This makes no sense...

  • How can I view TestStands Operator Interface front panel, from a VI, while a test is taking place.

    I need to view the sequences and steps that are displayed during a test session while running TestStand. Except I would like to view this in a LabVIEW front panel

    JD,
    I'm not sure if you're asking to be able to view the actual code module's front panel (ie. VI front panel) while it's executing, or if you just want to see the steps and overall sequence in a VI front panel. If the latter is true then you can use the simple LabVIEW operator interface that ships with TestStand, as Dennis mentioned in his answer. This would indeed be a great place to start if you want to add any further functionality to the operator interface. If the former is true and you want to see the actual VI front panels of the steps as they execute, you can check that box "Show VI Front Panel" from the "Specify Module" window in TestStand.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.

    Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am having problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.  Printing other PDF created by MS Word works well.  Had a similar problem in an earlier version of Pro.  The fix I figure out then was to print the PDF file as another PDF.  Using the second PDF to print to a plotter typically worked.  It does not work for Adoabe Acrobat Pro XI.

    The internal dri'vebay from the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum should be compatible with the X-Fi card, though it isn't officially supported.

  • I just updated my Ipad 2 last night with iOS 7.04 now I can't print shipping labels from Paypal. I downloaded a different browser, Dolphin, per Paypal's suggestion. Still can not print. It says it has lost connection with the server.help!.

    Hello! I updated my Ipad now I can not print USPS labels from Paypal. I used my boss' Ipad not updated and worked fine. I am dependent on my Ipad to print these labels for me. I can print anything else I want, like email or packing slips. Any thoughts? I would go back to the previous version if anyone knows how to do that.

  • Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

    We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
    For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

    Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
    Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
    Thanks guys,
    Lox

  • Chnaging input in a waveform graph from front panel in labview

    Hi !
    I am working with temperature sensors; I have several sensors to read simultaneously.
    I want to plot information from different sensors in different plots and have the option to change/select  the sensors in the a graph from front panel. For example, I have 8 sensors(please see the attachments_ front panel), A,B,C,D,E,F,G and M. Some time it could be possible that user want A,B,C in Tumor Graph or sometimes only A and B. That means the identity and the number of sensors could be changed in different times.
    Now I connect only two sensors per graph (ref: block diagram) but the number and the sensors to be plotted in a certain graph can be changed, so How can I implement it ?
    Any help or idea will be appreciated.

    Hi hasanma,
    Well, you could expend the build array and add more inputs to it as shown below:
    And individually select which sensor data the user wants to view as shown below:

  • Print front panel

    I have been going through messages for a while but just can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I need to print a waveform chart that has two plots that update at about 10Hz. Simple enough, right? Problem is that the report vi's have no way I can see to easily enlarge the image. I tried putting a larger chart in a sub vi that prints after executing but the chart only get part of the data when I run it. Then I tried the invoke get image method but can't find an indicator for the image data. Is there a way to print an enlarged waveform chart image? It would be even better if I can just print a front panel of a subvi with the same data on the waveform chart that appears on my top-level VI.

    "I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane." -- George Orwell

    What I have done in these situations is to have a graphs that is sized to printout the size that I want. I then update the graph from the program data, grab an image of the graph using the Get Image method, and save the image as a jpeg file. I can then either printhout this file or include it in a standard report.
    OR you can use Draw Flattened Pixmap.vi to turn it into a form that will go into a picture indicator
    OR you can create a VI with the graph on its front panel that is set to print itself when it finishes executing - or which you print programatically
