Trouble saving images on cRIO-9022

[truth204]

I'm having trouble saving images on my RT target cRIO-9022 (VxWorks). I get "error 53 occurred at Write GIF File.vi LabView: Manager call not supported" when running the code. What I'm trying to do is save periodic snapshots of front panel charts/graphs locally on the cRIO and download them at a later time.

I've also tried some of the report generation VIs and had broken arrows and compile errors. from what I've read in help and online, It seems perhaps it is not possible to do what I'm trying to do with my particular target. Is there any reason that I shouln't be able to save images locally to the RT target? has anyone else had a similar problem generating reports or saving images on the cRIO-9022?

Thanks for any help you can provide,

I've run into similar problem before... I was unable, at the time, to find a good workaround for saving front panel images to file on RT because the necessary report generation functions were unsupported on the RT environment. If you are just saving data from charts and graphs, you might want to consider saving the data as a binary file or a spreadsheet/.csv style file. This is ultimately what I did in my RT application, and then I created a separate desktop application that would read the data from those exported files and reproduce the charts/graphs that were created on the RT target.

Here is a KB describing your error, for reference: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/39B5B135F32902388625723B00683B27
