NIMAX generate report from command line

[mpankau]

Dear users,

I would like to generate MAX report ("MAX Generate Report.vi") from command line. Does nimax.exe have this capability, or do I have to write a wrapper to vi ?

Regards.

Hello, 

There is possibility to do that from command line. You can see how to do that in document:

Hi,

I believe it is possible to generate report from command line.

Check Documenting Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) Configuration Information.

hi,

when i run the command "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MAX>nimax /REPORT:filename="C:\Reports\rep
ort.xml";reportType="simple";silent="false"" from command prompt, i am getting the error saying

"Runtime error

Program : C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MAX>nimax.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

Please, let me know how to resolve this issue.

Note: NI Max version is 4.7

Hi Ramjee,

I tried to replicate your problem, but I'm not getting the same error as you are.

I'm using MAX 4.7.7 and win 7 64bit.

Could you possibly try to upgrade NI MAX to the version 4.7.7 and could you clarify what operating system you are using?

Hi,

I am using WWindows XP operating System.

Hi,

Is there any API to generate the same NI MAX report from LabWindows/CVI?
