Screen Save Waveform Chart

[gardel]

I have a Labview DAQ VI with some controls and a couple of waveform charts.
I would like to print just the waveform charts but not the whole panel at
times using a screen dump or print screen to include as pictures in a MS
Word report. Can this be done?

If you have a graphics or image editing application such as Paint Shop Pro, you can do a screen dump as you described, using Alt-Print Screen to capture the screen image to the windows clipboard, and then paste it into the graphics application, then crop it as needed. Also,if you save the new image as a .gif file format, the file size will be significantly smaller than a .bmp type file. Hope this helps!

Use George Zou's G Toolbox, you can take a snap shot for any part of
the screen. See http://georgezou.yeah.net

Create new vi only with charts, pass data and print vi or call save panel
to image

Actually, the whole process is rather simple. Attached is a snippet of code taken from LV's report generation tools. Using a reference to a front panel control, it extracts the appropriate data and writes a BMP file.

The vi is inside a quick demo that show how it can build a BMP of a graph. Run the demo and then check your temp directory. There should be a new file there that with a name like CT********.bmp.

Hi a simple way to save the Chart as JPEG is in Attachment.(doesn't work with LabVIEW base package)
