I want to save an image of the front panel, (with data), after every VI run

[relative0]

When I try to copy the front panel (using a select all), and paist to paint, all the data in the graphs show up as they did after the last run, but the data in the charts dissapear. The chart itself is copied but the data is not. Any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks,

Brian

"Save FP Image.vi"

I didn't manage to look at your VI.
However, I hope this example helps.

Note:
This example generates 100 random data, plot to the chart and saves the FP image as .jpg file at C:\TEST.jpg

This Knowledgebase also has some information on programatically saving VI images
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/942DAA35C7B35616862565FE005F713F?OpenDocument
(KB 197BB7VJ if the link doesn't work).
Note that you don't have to put the code in the VI you are running in order to save it to a file, so you don't actually have to modify your VI. You can just run a seperate VI that uses the VI name from the first one (I've attached a VI which could either be run standalone or used as a SubVI, as well as an example of using it as a SubVI).
If you don't want to do it programatically you could just hit the print screen button on your keyboard and then paste it into paint and crop off the extra windows stuff.
