Can i save VI front panel as a picture?

[happybird]

Hellow!
Is it possible to save the VI frontpanel as a picture? Thanks!

Hi happybird,
you can use the invoke node -> Get Panel Image and use one the graphics format vi's (located in the graphics and sounds palette) to save to disk.
hope this helps

This recent post show how to get the front panel and the diagram image. Just use half of it. 🙂

I see,but my version is labview 7.0,so there's no get panel image method.if i print the screen,it can not show all the panel image,because my front panel is quite big.

The Get Panel Image method IS available in 7.0. Drop the Invoke Node function on the diagram. Right click and do a Select Class>VI Server>VI. Right click again and select Methods. It's the 11th item down.

Here is a VI I created to do just what you want. It's not that elegant but it works.

I have ran this VI,but why it doesnt work,it appears"LABVIEW an input parameter is invalid" NI488 ,Command need GPIB controller to be controlled in charge"

Here's a tiny VI I posted a while ago but now in LabVIEW 7.0.

Just place it inside your VI in a event or case structure. Whenever it is called, it takes an image of the front panel of the calling VI (not of itself, of course :)).

Let me know if this works for you. 😄
