Save Waveform graph

[Guillermo_Rigal]

Hello!!!

I have a problem...I have in my project a waveform graph that it would be useful to save if the user wants to...How can I save it, by preesing a button, with a determinated name ??? just saving the graph, with maybe a .jpg termination ???

Thanks a lot!!!!!! (if it's possible answer with pics!!!!!!!)

Hi Guillermo,

If you want to save the waveform as a picture, you must use the information you con find in this link. That's all you need:

Nevertheless, if you want to save the waveform to a file because you need this information later, you can use any of these examples (it's depend on what kind of information you wants to save and what kind of waveform you are generating):

...or the LabVIEW example you can find in "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\examples\Waveform\FileIO.llb\Export Waveforms to Spreadsheet File Example.vi".

Hi there,

did u manage to save the waveform graph? Im also having the same problem, want the user to be able to save the waveform graph, the examples

you provided Guillermo are labview and not measurement studio example so it doesnt help much 😞

Hi there,

You can save Measurement Studio controls to files in many ways. The easiest way I would say is to use ToFile() method.

Here is a code snippet.

waveformGraph1.ToFile("C:\\1.gif", ImageType.Gif, new Size(400, 300));

tried that already doesnt work, but found a work around it, about 2 to 3 more line of code 🙂
