Save Front Panel As Screenshot On Disk

[ColeTrain]

Overview

This example demonstrates how to save the whole front panel of a VI as a screenshot on disk.

Description

Sometimes you want to save an image of the front panel, but you do not want to put it in a report and would rather keep it as a separate image file. This VI works as a great subVI to take the VI path you wire to it as well as an image path. You can save your image in JPEG, PNG or BMP file formats.

Requirements

 Software

• LabVIEW Base Development System 2012 (or compatible)
• If running in a Real-Time context, you will need the LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2012 (or compatible)

 Hardware

• No hardware is necessary to use this example VI

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Download and open the attached VI
2. Open the VI and follow the instructions on the Front Panel
