Put multiple Waveforms graphs in a report

[LuizRocha]

I'm a new LabView user and i'm trying to select more then one waveform graph with a control or a list to my Word report, but i couldn't find a way to do it. I can select just ONE from many graphs, but sometimes i need to send two or three.

Sending my .vi so you guys understand my problem.

Hi Luiz,

Use the "Append Control Image to Report.vi" multiple times, or in a loop with your array of references.

Thank you very much Gregoryj! Nicely done, but what if i want just two graphs? Can i put a selector on the front panel to choose wich graph to insert in the report?

[Gregory]

Sure, just have an array of booleans going in to the loop and only write the image if a True is input. This one will write element 0 and 2 from the control reference array.

Gregoryj, thank you again, i understood what you did and works great, but one last question. what if a want from the front panel choose wich graph insert in the report? I was thinking of something like a list or a box of the avaliable graphs and then click on the ones i'd like to get image, is that possible?

Right click on the block diagram boolean array >> Change to Control. Now you have an array control on your front panel, re-size it to the size that you need. Then you can double click on empty front panel space to make a label for it. I don't think you can change the actual label on the array without effecting all of the labels, so I just made an extra label to the side of it.
