Report generation tool kit not printing
I had the report generation tool kit version 1.01 for some time but never used it. I was comfortable with printing front panel vi 's.
But now I installed it on my computer with a windows 2000 and LabView 6.02 .
I created an application (executable) that will print (using the report
genartion tool kit). The application works fine in my development computer
(win 2000).
When I installed it on another computer with a win 2000, it prints as
expected
but when I try to exit I get a message from windows that the application is not responding (I have to go to task manager and terminate the application).
Both computers have word and Excell installed
I installed the application on a third computer (win 2000), but this com
puter does not have word or excell installed. The application does not print the
portion of the software that uses the report generation tool kit, but it can print the front panel of vi's (set to print an end of excution).
In all 3 computers, I have runtime engine 6.02 installed. My vi is simply
the example vi ""Sample test report.vi"", but customized to my application, printing standard report.
What is happening ?
Based on what you sent, the version of Excel and Windows that are being used is a non issue since none of the code makes any calls to either one. They all refer to the older version of the report generation VIs that use NI's proprietary report generator.
I can think of two explainations. First, you aren't using what you think you are. Second, NI retained the same VI names when they went to the Word/Excel version of the generator, and I am linked into the old version.

Hi,
I have LabView7.1 and Labview8.0 installed in my pc.Recently i installed Report generation tool kit(version 1.0.1.0)
In the functions palette i couldnt able to see the Excel Specific VI sub palette and Word Specific VI sub palette.
Can u tell me what is the problem
Regards
MeenatchiYou can not see it in either version? Or has it been installed to the wrong version? There has been postings on this board regarding how to get it to install to multiple versions. I have not found tha to work. I go in a 'manually' copy the VIs from add-ons, examples, and help to the latest version of LabVIEW that I have. But if you look here you should find the help you need.

Use this template with report generation toolkit to populate data in the predefined cells.Based on that the chart will be automatically updated. -

New Bitmap Image.JPG 134 KBHi,
A trigger is designed to be a part of a transaction, not it's end.
It is like following these steps (not really accurate, but should give an idea):
1. programA issues INSERT statement on tableA
2. 'control' goes over to the database
3. constraint checks happen
4. the associated triggers on tableA do their work (e.g. fetching a sequence value for a primary key)
5. 'control' goes back to programA
6. programA decides if a commit (no error occurred) or a rollback (error case) has to be issued.
Did this help? Probably not, I'm not happy with what I wrote, but anyway... :) -
I don't have any problems creating and filling an excel sheet with data. I use the New Report.vi, Easy Title.vi, and Easy Text.vi to create the file. I then save and dispose properly.
What I don't seem to be able to do is open the exsting file and append data to the end of the sheet.
Thanks in advance for your help.
toddHi Todd,
You can do this by creating a new Excel report with the existing excel file path wired to the "template" input. Then use "Excel Get Last Row.vi" (located under Report Generation\Excel Specific\Excel General) to obtain the location of the last row. Then use that location to input new data into the file.
Hope this helps,

Excel MSGraph Axis Value w/ Report Gentration Tool kit help needed
Hello,
I am working on making all my Printed Data sheets dynamic so I don't need to have an Excel Template for each test I create. I have been able to make my own modifications to some of the Report Generation tool kit VIs to add little things I need or want changed, but I am stuck.
I currently have LabVIEW writing Charts in Excel, using the Insert Graph VIs from the tool kit but I want to be able to make the X Axis Values invisible but leave the Y values for this particular data sheet. I have looked through all my documentation but cannot find anything referring to setting that.
What is the correct ActiveX Method and/or Property that I need to incorporate to do this? I found that in Excel if I click on the Chart it is in the Chart Options Menu but I cannot find a way to control it through LabVIEW.
I am currently using 7.1.1 with Office 98 and the Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.0
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jeff

Certified LabVIEW ArchitectHello,
LabVIEW should have access to everything that the excel ActiveX object publishes. One way to discover how to do it would be to record a macro in excel, where your recorded actions are on the x-axis as you desire. This way you will have a macro which you can run that will do this for you. Perhpas more importantly, you will then be able to look at the code for that macro you recorded, and make the equivalent calls in LabVIEW, which should basically expose which ActiveX calls on that object achieve the axis modification. In any event, to help you with this process, below are some useful links. Also, you will find other threads on this matter if you search the discussion forums.

Are report generation tools exclusively text-based?
Hi,
I'm using LabView 5.1.1, and have just explored the new (to me) report
generation tools. Handy though they are (I added the facility to print
results from my project in a nicely formatted report in just a couple of
hours) it strikes me that it would be even better if I could add bitmaps
to the report. This would let me add pretty logos, but obviously we
could do far more using LabView pictures/graphs etc.
There is no reference in the documentation or on the NI web site as far
as I can tell, but I can't be the first programmer wanting to do this.
Any hacks out there?
Best wishes to you all,

==================================================================
My views and opinions are seldom that of the institution for which
I work. I take that to be a healthy sign.
==================================================================I too have tried to use the report functions. They work fine for text only.
In the end I ended up scraping the idea and simply configured a vi (which i
called report.vi) to print at completion. I set the vi up with tables and
bitmaps the way i wanted it and called it as a sub vi (passing the data i
wanted printed to it) whenever i wanted a report printed.
It works really well. The only problem is that it must always be strictly
to a given format as defined in your vi.
I suppose you could hide some controls using attribute nodes (and maybe
enable others) if you didn't want them printed.
Cheers

Report generation toolkit does not work
Hello,
The report generation toolkit does not work.
It seems to point to the 'Generate Report Data Members.ctl'.
I suppose it has something to do with the wrong set of active X-controls ?
I work with Win 2000 and Office XP
How can i solve this problem ?
Thanks in advance !
Regards
ChristineHello Julien,
Sorry for the late answer
I become a broken arrow, when openening the example Sample Report (Excel).vi
Searching further for the cause of the error it brings me to the sub vi tables.

How to Use 2 Separate Y-Axis in Report generating Tool Kit
Hello
How do I make 2-Y-Axis chart on Word document from Report Generating Tool Kit?
Now can make Chart to appear in Word document with Multiple plots, but all plots go to same Y-Axis.
I want to put in chart two Plots with Same X-Axis, but different Y-Axis.
I know it is possible manually in word, but how can I do it with Labview RGTK?hmm, yes. I guess that is the only alternative. But is there anyone who has made something similar in the past?
I am not sure how to interpolate this data to an array of 30 000 data points without loosing data in the beginning.
Since it is exponential, the first few dozen datapoints are at really low freq. All about 10.xx Hz and increasing.
Then in the end of the array, i have like one datapoint at 15kHz, one at 15,5kHz etc. Will be alot of gaps in my array and alot of lost data in the beginning I think.
It's strange though that labview doesn't allow for waveform, or atleast let me put an XY-array into these methods since i believe always you want an logarithmic freq-axis when having a frequency-response to handle.
Anyway, anyone who has a nice little VI that interpolates data like this? -
Excel Graph Legend Formatting - Report Generation Tool
Hi all,
I'm currently using the Report Generation Tool for Labview '11 and cannot seem to figure out how to edit the font properties for a graph's legend. Attached is a screenshot of an example output.
The Excel Graph Font.vi's Help file says that it should be able to modify the legend, yet I can't seem to figure out how to configure it to do so. If anyone can walk me through the steps or tell me what I am missing, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Solved!

Hello again,

Thanks.
The Word object model is probably the most complicated of the Office suite and you are loosing the calculation ability of Excel.

Which version of the toolkit did you install?
Do you see the Report Generation Toolkit listed under the Add/Remove Programs in control panel?
If you have multiple versions of LabVIEW, check in which folder did the toolkit get installed.
Can you find word and excel llbs under ...\LabVIEW 6.1\vi.lib\addons\_office directory?
If these VIs didn't get installed, you should check the version (LabVIEW 6.1 needs toolkit version 1.0.1) and reinstall the toolkit.
If you do have these llbs, try to manually edit the palettes and add new subpalettes linked to these menu files:
LabVIEW 6.1\menus\default\excel.mnu and
LabVIEW 6.1\menus\default\word.mnu
