exporting waveform images to MSWord using labview report generation toolkit

[ctailor]

I'm trying to add the waveform images from the file to my report using the report generation tool kit in word format. I'm using "the append image to report(path).vi" and keeps giving me an error stating I have the wrong path. I know that is really not the case. Could someone please help me figure this out? Please!!

Thanks!

The append image to report path vi gets an image from disk to include in the report. Is this really your case? Shouldn't you be using Append Control image to report?

If that idnot the answer, could you please post the code (or a simplified version of it) and let us take a look?

Thanks,

Robert,

As it turns out, I needed to add the file extension which was hidden. This problem is solved; howeve, if you know how to export the graph from the front panel into word using the report generation, please let me know. I tried using the "append front panel image to report.vi" but that unfortunately adds the whole front panel and not just the graph.

Any lead into this would help.

Again, Thanks!

Attached is an example VI that attaches a control to a word document.

Let us know how it goes.

Robert,

Yes, it did work! Thank you!

By any chance, do you know how to graph multiple series in LabView using report generation " Excel Insert Graph.vi"?

I take tons of data using PXI DMM/multiplexer, but unfortunately, it is very painful to graph them manually. Generally my X and Y ranges for each series are different and varies in length from one point to another. I can graph one series OK but not multiple series. Also, I can graph XY series if X ranges doesn't changes.

For given graph, I would have following series in one graphs.

X1...X1n, Y1....Y1n
X2...X2n, Y2....Y2n
X3...X3n, Y3....Y3n

I have been successful in plotting these in the LabVIEW front panel but not in EXCEL. I also can not write
micro as there are so many variation in data and ranges that each user would define.

Thanks for all your help.
