Save front panels and print them at once

I have a VI that will be executed multiple times with different data, i want each of this front panels to be printed but it has to be one print instruction. I've tried to make an image of the front panel and append this to an Report, but the image is of a bad quality and the image which was made, contained only the view on screen!

If you want a report that is an image of the display screen one thing you can do is create a VI whose front panel is a clone of the application's front panel. The only code behind this front panels would be property nodes to set the clone's front panel to match changes the user makes in the display during execution (for example, a user can change the color of plots, or the such things). It is vital that the diagram of this VI has at least 1 property node, otherwise it will only update if its window is open.
Now as you main application is running it gathers a collection of all the data that you will want to print. When the user then clicks a print button, or the program exits (however you want the program to work) the code would take each dataset and one at a
time pass it to the clone VI and programatically print its front panel.
However, if all you have is tabular data (i.e. no plots or other graphics) I have found it easier to use the report generator VIs, but it's your call.

How can I save front panel images each time a loop iterates

So I've been working on some optical codes in LabVIEW for a while, I've read a lot of these similar questions but I can't seem to apply them directly to my situation in all cases.
I essentially have a code that shows an intensity graph that is continually modified in a for loop, I want to save a picture of that intensity graph each loop without having to manually label them. Is there something similar to the get image node that can do this. I've looked through the image acquisition in the vision VIs but only see references to hardware like cameras.
Attached is a simplified version of a changing intensity graph. With the get image I have to establish the names of 10 images and the path there before it will run and save like I want it to.
A million thanks to anyone who can help

Sample image save.vi ‏19 KB

That worked wonderfully and is exactly what I need for the phase diagrams Im working with. I have a new and similar issue, I do have a camera showing us our laser source in a CCD image within my code. I was hoping to get a picture of that each iteration and hoped the solution you provided would work for both but the CCD jpgs are just black. I'm assuming I may have to use a different acquiring technique with that but dont know the best way to go.
Any help there? I cant really post a VI since the camera stuff wouldnt work but heres a screen shot of the front panel and the CCD image that id like to capture.

How can I save my bookmarks, and email them?

I would like to save my bookmarks, and email them to one of my Gmail accounts. This way I can download them into another computer.
How do I do this?

A couple of methods.
If you want the bookmarks on the other computer to be replaced with the bookmarks on your current computer, follow the procedure in the [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]] article to backup the bookmarks to a json file which you can email, and then restore those onto the other computer.
If you want to add the bookmarks to the other computer, but still keep the bookmarks that are already on the other computer, you need to export them to an html file. To do that see [[Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file]]. You can email the html file, and import it to the other computer, for details see [[Importing Bookmarks from an HTML File]].

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

You want to allow someone to open your document and fill out the form (in the fields you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here's the answer - assuming you are using Acrobat Pro and someone will be opening the PDF using at least Acrobat Reader 9 and up:
Tools > Protection > Encrypt < Encrypt with Password
Answer YES to change the security.
A new window opens:
     Do NOT select Document Open (or that will require a password to open the document.)
     Select: Permissions (Check the box next to "Restrict editing and printing of the document.")
     Change the following 2 settings from the drop-down box:
          Printing Allowed: Select High Resolution
          Changes Allowed: Select Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing signature fields
          Leave selected: "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired"
          Change Permissions Password (insert a strong password)
          Leave all other settings alone in "Options"
          OK - OK
          Re-enter the Permissions Password (the one you entered above)
          OK - OK
          Save the PDF to apply the security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the document title]

How to sort data in PL/SQL table and print them in Order?

Hi Guys
I wan to create a csv file layout as below, maximum we got 12 weeks sales figure for each item. Week is week of the year, it will different every time based on sales_date.
Item Number     Description     Sales Week      27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20..
1234          Sample                10     6     2     8     10
1230          Test                50     60     2      10
I got item number, description, week_no and sales in a temp table which is populated by a procedure. Now I need to write these records from table to a file.
I not sure how to store multiple records for each item in PL/SQL table, sort them and print them in above format.
My select statement is as below
select item_number,
description,
week_no,
year,
opening_stock_qty,
production_qty,
sales_qty,
creation_date,
(production_qty - sales_qty) net_qty
from xxsu_planning_report
order by item_number,year,week_no;
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks and regards
VJ

Above error occured because you are trying to concatenate dbms output with some other string, which is not allowed.
Declare
TYPE plan_type IS TABLE OF xxsu_planning_report%ROWTYPE
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
plan_table plan_type;
BEGIN
plan_table(1).week_no := 24;
plan_table(1).description := 'This is week 24';
plan_table(2).week_no := 21;
plan_table(2).description := 'This is week 21';
for i IN 1..2 loop
dbms_output.put_line(plan_table(i).week_no) || ' ' || plan_table(i).description);
end loop;
END;From your code, I didnt understood what you want to do. Using Associative Array would be wrong approach in this case.
As per your scenario, you have to store max 12 records for each item number.
create or replace type dailySales as object(Description varchar2(100), Sales number, Week number);
create or replace type saletab as table of dailySales;
create table t_sales (p_item number, p_sales saletab);
insert into t_sales values
(p_item, ---------enter value for item number 1
saletab(dailySales($n1,$n2,$n3)), ---------enter value for sales record for week 1
saletab(dailySales($n1,$n2,$n3)), ---------enter value for sales record for week 2
saletab(dailySales($n1,$n2,$n3)), ---------enter value for sales record for week 3
saletab(dailySales($n1,$n2,$n3)), ---------enter value for sales record for week 4
saletab(dailySales($n1,$n2,$n3)), ---------enter value for sales record for week 5
saletab(dailySales($n1,$n2,$n3)), ---------enter value for sales record for week 6
saletab(dailySales($n1,$n2,$n3)), ---------enter value for sales record for week 7
saletab(dailySales($n1,$n2,$n3)), ---------enter value for sales record for week 8
saletab(dailySales($n1,$n2,$n3)), ---------enter value for sales record for week 9
saletab(dailySales($n1,$n2,$n3)), ---------enter value for sales record for week 10
saletab(dailySales($n1,$n2,$n3)), ---------enter value for sales record for week 11
saletab(dailySales($n1,$n2,$n3)) ---------enter value for sales record for week 12
Enter 0 if no sales exist for any week. Because NULL would throw an exception.
Execute the SQL query to check the output.Try this and let me know if any fyrther issues.

How do reduce the space between the front panel and the display area

I am trying to reduce the space between the front panel and display area but i am not able to reduce the space

A picture would be very helpful in demonstrating what you are having trouble with.
Lacking that, I will guess.
VI Properties >>> Windows Size
lets you define the minimum size of a FP window.
Well that's my guess!

How can I receive data and print them in the smartform INTNOM2_N1?

Hi experts!!
I've to receive data from some tables and print them into the smarform INTNOM2_N1, for example I need to receive the data stext from the table hrp1000, but when I tried to do this, this doesn't work
SELECT SINGLE STEXT FROM HRP1000 INTO WA_FORM_n1-STEXT
                      WHERE OBJID = P0001-PLANS AND
                      PLVAR       = '01' .
   because the data p0001-plans is empty how can I do this? I've tried with
RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST P0001 SPACE VERSC-FPBEG VERSC-FPEND, but I think in smartforms we can't use RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST because I receive an error message,
Does anybody know how can i do this?!
Thanks a lot,
Regards,
Rebeca

Hi
Please write this code in the smartform and pass on this internal table to the smartform FM..
Also, in the form interface of the smartform declare the table to which u want to pass these values.
The above process will help u to pass values into the smartform from print program.

Vishwa.

Can i save my form and print it

Can I save my form and print it

Hi,
You will not be able to save the FormsCentral online HTML form locally and print. If you have Acrobat XI, you could create a PDF form via FormsCentral (Download as PDF) locally and open it via Adobe Acrobat/Reader and print it. If you are using the online FormsCentral app, then you need a paid subscription to be able to create the PDF form.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Save front panel to bmp - not working anymore in LV7

Hi Folks:
I had this VI working perfectly in LV6.1. When Labview picture format fxs changed in lv7, I modified the VI to what I believe is correct but cannot get a front panel to save to bmp, png, jpg, or htm format as I had been easily doing before. I am attaching an llb and request someone test on their system. test.vi is the top level VI to run.
Thanks,
Don

I got this to work after a couple of tries. For some reason it did not work at first then after I opened all your subs and closed them all it worked fine and continued to work fine. HMM very interesting. attached is a version I did very quickly and worked the first time but really you are doing nothing different.
See if this works on your machine
