Wizard for Microwave Office

Hello.
I am developing a wizard for Microwave Office, AWR Design Environment 10. The documentation that I've found is obsolete (VB_getting_started.pdf), because it refers to a non-existent windows registry key.
I have just developed the ActiveX class that implements the IMWOWizard interface, and it compiles and builds the DLL without problem. But I cannot make Microwave Office recognize the new Wizard into the Wizards list of the project.
I've tried:
- To use the option "Manage Wizards". In this option there is not any button to import the Wizard.
- To search the terms "Wizard", "Awr", "addin", etc... in Regedit. No clear match.
- To copy the .DLL into the Wizards folder, the main program folder, etc. No result.
- To search the Internet, forums, videos, manuals, documentation... Impossible.
Any hint would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance:
Jose Antonio Rodriguez.

Thank you for your response, but unfortunately it didn't work.
I've just created the key as you suggested and Microwave Office did not recognized the wizard.
The name of the key created under Addins is NameOfProject.NameOfClass
And I have also created the "Description" and "FriendlyName" values inside this key, as the "VB_getting_started" guide says.
Any other idea?
Thanks in advance.
Jose.

Learning RF and Microwave Office

How can a student taking an RF and microwave course get started using Microwave Office?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The first step is to get AWR software. If your school has AWR's flexible access option you can make a license for the software here. If your university is using floating licenses you will need to contact your professor to get information on the license server.
You can download the software from our website.
There are many resources to get you going with the software such as the Getting Started guide (in the software select Help->Getting Started). If you're just getting going though there are also some great videos on basic RF and microwave topics at explore rf on youtube.
We also have an index of our AWR.TV videos.
If you're doing a design project and looking for additional material to help you design microwave components, Dr. Kikkert has put together a book that covers mixers, amplifiers, filters and oscillators with a lot of examples in Microwave Office all available for free.

Template Builder (XML Publisher Report) for Open Office

Hi,
Do any body has any idea, if can have template builder for Open Office also, My company has un installed MS Office from my machine, and they dont have license now.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi All,
I think Oracle can provide a BI Publisher Software for the Open Office, since the licencing cost for MS Office is very high.
"OpenOffice Writer" is a open source alternative to MS Word and can be used on Linux. If I am using Linux OS and have to work on BI Publisher templates then certainly I will have to install Windows or use WINE ( I donno how it works but heard of it)
Other Oracle tools such as SQL Developer, etc are platform independent.. then why only BI Publisher is limited for windows/MS Office.
Tim,
Can you please answer..
I think it should integrate with OpenOffice too!!

How to obtain the table index in word use LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office

I created a word templete and it had several tables. When I use the "Word Edit Cell" function in LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office, the function need "table index", and I didn't find any function to get or set the table index in word document. How can I achieve my attention to write value to specified table cell using the "Word Edit Cell" function?
Thanks for reply!
YangAfreet

Hi yangafreet
You do not need to get the table index for the word edit cell.vi from anywhere. LabVIEW will automatically index all the tables in the document. See the attatched vi for an example.

Dirk, the Menu Wizard does not have a feature to
restrict users from going to various sections (slides) until
they have visited other sections (slides).
However, you might be able to accomplish this by 1) using
some creative branching or 2) breaking your project up into
separate movies - 1 for each section. At the end of section 1 -
there is a Click Box or Button that will launch section 2. In this
case, the Menu Wizard would be used for navigation within 1 movie
(section) at a time.

Office Plug-in : support for MS Office 2010 version

We tried to use the Office Plug-in that is available with OBIEE version 10.1.3.3.2 for MS Office 2010 version.
It does not work and throws an error message that indicates Office 2003 or Office 2007 are the versions that are supported.
Questions:
1. Is there a patch available for this plug-in that will work with Office 2010 version?
2. Does OBIEE 11.1.1.3 (Current release) support Office 2010 through the plug in? If not any insight into when Office 2010 is supported by the OBIEE Office Plug-in
Also, I heard that Office Plug-in and Smart View are going to be merged into a single product in the future releases... any thoughts on this as well.
Thanks
Sundar

We raised a support log few weeks back on this. The answer Support gave:
At the moment, Office 2010 is not certified against the current release of OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 and OBIEE 11.1.1.3.0
Oracle is planning on Supporting MS Office 2010 on with BI 10.1.3.4.2 and 11.1.1.4.0. No official eta's for the releases at this stage.

Error in Plugin Installation For MS Office 2013 on Windows 8 and 8.1

Hello,
We have developed an installer for MS Word and MS Excel plugins. So far it has been working fine for MS Office 2003, 2007 etc. but since I have upgraded to a Windows 8.1 machine with MS Office 2013 installed, the plugin installation is giving error.
The installation fails and an error dialog appears with Error Code Type: Error, Error:1, Owner:30a.
The installer works well for MS Office 2010 on Windows 8/ 8.1 machine or MS Office 2010 on Windows 7 machine.

HiDinesh,
Is there any other error message when installation fails?
According to this error message “Error Code Type: Error, Error:1, Owner:30a.”
This is problem conclusion provided by IBM:
This issue is no longer reproducible in V6R2012x.
Installation checks have been modified to throw an error only when none of the Office applications
(Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook) are installed. This error will not occur if one or more of the Office products are installed.

Add Report Generation toolkit for Microsoft Office in exe

Hi
I am having a problem. I am using LabVIEW 8.20, Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 1.1.2 and Microsoft Excel 2003. My OS is Windows XP (SP )
I want to build the vi attached below into an exe. The vis that I used are from addons>>_office>>excel.llb. I follow the suggestion found in the link below and add in all the files in excel.llb into my project so that it can be added into the executable as dynamic vis. However, some vis in excel.llb cannot be added into my project. After I have add all vis that can be added into the project, I build an application (exe) with the vi below as the Main vi and all other added vis (from excel.llb) as dynamic vis. After that, I build and run this exe on the same PC. I am unable to run it.
This vi will save datas when I click on the stop button. After I click on the stop button, a window will pop-up and prompt me to select which directory to save the vi. When I run the exe, I type in test.xls (for example) but the file saved is a picture and not an excel file. If I just run the vi instead of the exe, Excel will open and datas and graph will be displayed in Excel.
May I know where did I done wrong??
How do I use the Report Generation Toolkit in an executable with Microsoft Excel?

How can I distribute an application using Reprot generation Toolkit for MS Office for different versions of MS Office?

I want to create an application which uses the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office. The office version of the target machine depends on what my customer has installed.
From several discussions I have seen that the installer detects which version I have on my development machine. I'm not able to hold three or four machines with different versions (97,2000,2002,XP).
I decided to do the following software architecture:
I create a LLB MakeReport.llb with a VI called MakeReport.vi. With VI server I will start MakeReport.vi in MakeReport.llb. Over a named queue I will send a command from my application to MakeReport.vi. Then the report will be
printed.
I will create this LLB by saving MakeReport.vi with File>>Save with options...>>Application distribution. All neccessary VIs will be in the LLB.
I will hold different directories for each version. I can create different version of the LLB. During installation of my application the LLB for the right version will be copied from the CD to the application folder.
I know I will be restricted in testing my report in only one version and hoping it will be good in the other versions.
I think that the difference lays only in the word and excel related llbs.
1. Will my software architecture work or is it obviously wrong?
2. How will I get all versions from the toolkit CD?
3. Which is the registry key I must read to get the right version (a minor question, if somebody knows I do not need to search for myself).

Using 7.1.1, 8.5.1, 8.6.1, 2009 on XP and RT
Don't forget to give Kudos to good answers and/or questions

Lookout saves the files in .csv form which can be opened in Excel. I did make some progress by using the "append table to report" vi which allowed me to put values into an array and then those values were entered into my template on my report vi.
Where I am stuck now is I want to be able to put values into my template from a .csv file, not from an array I have to manually put numbers in.
Once those values are in my template I want to pull summed values from the template and place them into a final excel file for printing.
I have attached examples of the files I am working with to help you better understand what I am trying to do.
I hope that makes sense.

LV Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office says "This VI or item belongs to a library that is expired or invalidly licensed"

I have downloaded the LV Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office for evaluation with LabVIEW 2010. The examples for the Help get many errors, including "The subVI is not executable. You must fix all errors in the subVI before this VI can run." and "This VI or item belongs to a library that is expired or invalidly licensed".
I selected that I wanted to evaluate the toolkit instead of putting an activation code during installation. Installation went OK.
How can I get the examples in this LV Toolkit to Run so that I can evaluate it?
Solved!

Also when I place the MS Office Report function in my block diagram, I get: "Unable to View Properties" popup message and no Contextual Help on the function.
How can I get these RGT function to work properly so that I can evaluate the toolkit?

How do I put data into a template using the Labview report generation toolkit for Microsoft Office?

I am running Lookout 5.0 and have recently purchased the Labview Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office to create reports from my Lookout logged data. Since I have never used Labview I am having my problems. I tried following the tutorials but they do not seem to be examples of what I want to do.
I log rainfall totals (1 spreadsheet)in Lookout from 40 different sites in 5 minute increments. I copy these totals and paste them into another spreadsheet which sums them up to give me hourly totals and then paste those totals into a spreadsheet for distribution.
In Labview I create a new report and use the distribution sheet as my template, but how do I complete
the steps of loading the raw 5 minute data into labview and then paste it into the hourly total spreadsheet and then transfer those totals into the distribution template?
I have been trying to figure this out for over a week, and I am getting nowhere.
Any response would be appreciated.
Thanks

Control checkbox form field in word with report generation toolkit for Microsoft office

Hi all,
Happy New Year!
I insert in the word template the check box form field. It has a bookmark name "Check1".
Now I'm trying to checked or unchecked this field using the report generation toolkit for Microsoft office and I couldn't. If anyone now how to do it? I'm using LabView 8.0
Thanks in advance,
Boris
Solved!

Boris,
The Microsoft Office Toolkit does not have support for checking/unchecking check box forum field. You would have to research the activex functionality that enables this to be checked or unchecked and then do the activex calls yourself. I did hear of one csutomer who used a special font to write a blank box or a checkbox into a word document and changed it that way as well.
Maybe http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53715 gives a hint to an activex reference

National Instruments releases LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office.

The new LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office is a library of flexible, easy-to-use tools for programmatically creating and editing Microsoft Word and Excel reports from LabVIEW. Whether you need to generate reports summarizing manufacturing test results or compile process statistics to improve your production yields, this toolkit speeds your development of customized, professional reports.
To see examples of this toolkit or get more information please visit :
http://www.ni.com/labview/report_gen_toolkit.htm

It is a bit limiting though. I built my own set of VI's, a toolkit if you will, that does some of what this tookit does. But, I also wrote some functionality that isn't available in NI's kit, such as creating charts as separate worksheets and linking the charts to data on another worksheet. All in all, the toolkit is great, but you can't get as much out of it as you can using the ActiveX calls yourself.
