Creating a report using the report generation toolkit

[Perry_S]

Overview

This is an example of how Report Generation Toolkit is used to create a report that can be updated in LabVIEW.

Description

Creating a word report from LabVIEW without the report generation toolkit can be quite cumbersome. A person would have to use the ActiveX controls that Microsoft has exposed  for Microsoft Word. The Report Generation Toolkit makes it easy to use these functions in LabVIEW. The following is an example of how this toolkit is used to create a report that can be updated.

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012(or compatible)
• LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit 2012(or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Create a word document and save it to a any location.
2. Navigate to where it is using the report file path control.
3. Run the VI, it will create the report. Everytime after clicking on the run arrow it will update it.
