Solved!
Go to solution

Hi,

 

Anybody out there that have any clue how to do this?

 

I want to save the front panel look of my VI as an JPG or PDF or BNP, not using ctrl PrtSc

I know i can use invoke node to save a graph as a BMP file, but can i do the same with the whole front panel look

 

Underneath is the frontpanel i want to make a picturefile of, automaicly by pressing a button in Labview without exit the program.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you using the Front Panel:Get Image method? That returns image data, and you can wire that directly to any of the three graphics functions (PNG, JPG, or BMP). As for PDF, you'd need to have a PDF printer driver installed. Search the forum as this has been asked before numerous times, and various programs have been suggested.

You probably should edit the solution attribution.  I spent too long opening LabVIEW and creating the snipette.  Saverio beat me by minutes!
