I am using the Report Generation Toolkit (Excel Specific Vis) to write data to the excel file. I am using Labview 7.0 . Is there a way to save that excel file using the report generation toolkit? I am trying to save the data automatically every 3o minutes with different file names for every 30 minutes. Please see attached code. THanks in advance.
It seems like you already doing it, but not complete, you need to close the report reference by using "Dispose Report", one of the input for this VI is "Save Change?".
It looks like every x minutes where x is the time limit specified on the front panel you write some tables and text to an Excel report. One of the problems I see is that although you only write to the report every x minutes you are saving every time the loop iterates. In addition when the case structure is false you're not using the report reference for the report you've been writing to but another one.
It seems to me that what you're trying to do is create a separate Excel report every x minutes. In this case what I would suggest doing is moving the New Report VI in addition to the Save Report to File VI into the case statement. Make sure to also add the Dispose Report as suggested by Joe.
