I want to save a picture of the front panel. I know, there are some report vi's but I want to overwrite the old report or picture every minute and I couldnt find a way to do this with this vi's.
Attached is a picture that shows you how to do it.
You open up a reference to the VI you want to have a picture of, pass that to an invoke node and select the get panel image method...The outputs of that you feed into the write BMP VI..(or JPG, PNG etc) and that's it.
