front page image to browser

Solved!

Hi

 

My AppendFrontPage.VI uses the Append front page to report function to get front page from of another VI. AppendFrontPage.VI creates new HTML file as a report and then it adds two hyperlinks to the report. The front page image is added to this report and after this the report is saved to directory to overwrite an existing file. The directory where this HTML file is saved is web published as server. So the idea is to get the front page image to web site and updating that every few minutes. In program this means that the entire AppendFrontPage.VI is in "endless loop" with a timer.

But here's the problem: The Append front page to report function seems to create a temporary image files that are not temporary. The VI overwrites the HTML on every loop cycle, but "temporary" image file, example like this:  LVtemp034555102214, wont be overwritten. So the VI creates a new image every time. I don't want the files to plug my hard drive. Can anyone tell me how to overwrite these files, or if anyone has a better solution how to form my program??

 

I tried also to make the program with invoke node as Front Panel:Get Image Method. This works but the image won't show in web browser if I use the IP address pointed to the HTML file in address bar. It works only if use the file directory address. You know, as locally. But the idea is to access the web page from somewhere else than the computer the web page was made from.

 

Need help, plz

 

Thanks for advance,
