Check if Report Generation Toolkit works in LabVIEW

[Raj_V]

Overview:

This is an example that verifies the correct installation of the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office.

Description:

It uses a simple Automation Open to verify that we can open a reference to a Microsoft Excel ActiveX object, and then subsequently make the Excel Window visible for 5 seconds before closing it out.

If the excel window opens, but the Report Generation Toolkit VIs fail to work, then we can conclude that the problem is in the Report Generation Toolkit installation.

Conversely, if this fails to open the Excel window, then we can conclude that the problem is in the installation of Microsoft Office.

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 12 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Run VI
2. Excel Application Window visible for 5 seconds before closing it out
