Error 53 : BD.Get Image Scaled

[goldfox_79]

Hi,

I used invoke node(method block diagram:get image scaled) to get a screenshot of block diagram of a VI. It works well in LabView 8.6. But with the application built based on the VI, I got a 53 error code. Any suggestion?

"Built" as in built into an .exe file?

If so, you can't get an image of the block diagram because the block diagram is removed from the VI's when they are built into the executable.  The only thing present is any needed front panels, and the underlying compiled code that is built from the block diagram.

For what reason do you want to capture an image of the block diagram?

1. Yes, it is a .exx file.

2. The application is used to generate screenshot of a user specified VI, not a VI built into the executable.

Can't verify, but I'll bet if you check the context help for that node you will see that it is not available in the Run-Time Engine.

Edit:  Follow up question, if you are getting screenshots of a VI, I assume LV is installed on the machine, why use an exe instead of a VI?

You are right "Available in Run-Time Engine and Real-Time Operating System NO". Anyway, thank you Darin.
