how to set real time printing up??

[alfredo_2k2]

i have a vi for acquisition and return graph and table also...
i use LabVIEW 7.1. I want my application can do realtime printing. I use laser print with A4 paper, so hopefully each time the data fullfilled the data space at the frontpanel, it will be printed.
 
if any of u have ever try this activity, please post me a solution.
thank you very much..
regards.

There is a Print after each execution function (vi properties/print options) that cranks out a copy of your front panel after every execution.  It may be more than what you want, but it could be a start.  I'd create a front panel with minimal images on it, if you don't want to use a lot of ink!

Actually, you want to set it up as a line printer.   See the above link.

Hi Alfredo

I hope you are doing well today. I assume that you want to print out your waveform graph and table controls when you reach a certain point in your data acquisition. There is an example VI, PrintControlExample.vi, in LabVIEW which can be found using the Example Finder. You can open the Example Finder by clicking Help -> Find Examples and then navigate to the VI by selecting Printing and Publishing Data -> Printing VI's -> PrintControlExample.vi. In order to do real time printing, you can just add extra logic which makes the VI print the information when a certain condition is reached, while the data acquisition carries on.

Have a great day!
