On windows I have had success with using HiQ for report generation. I
would manually create a template for a
particular project, then send data using LV VI's to that template then save
it with different name or just print it.
Using HiQ (free with LV 5.1) I was able to have pictures, graphs, you name
it. Also since HiQ gets the actual data, then by saving HiQ file you do
data logging as well, those HiQ reports can also be stored in database.
I found HiQ approach to be more flexible than NI report generator, only
drawback is that it is not cross-platform portable. For cross-platform
report generation I have been looking into some sort of XML based approach.
Hope it helps,
