Hi

Any one can tell me how to obtain the front panel image? I have made the attached program, but it does not work. Thanks

Hi Keysucces,

what is it that you want to do?
Your code looks OK to add your VI image to a report, their are several options to get the image of a VI front panel.
One option is the Code Capture Tool.

Hi

I tried the capture panel picture.vi, but how can I choose a VI which I need its image?

Thanks

The attached VI shows the basics of how to save an image of a VI's front panel:

1) You open a reference to the VI
2) Using invoke node, you then get the front panel image.
3) Close the VI reference
4) Save the image to the file format of your choice (I picked the VI for JPEG - you can use which every one you want).

In the top path control enter (or browse to) the path to the VI that you want to capture. In the second path control, enter the path (and filename) for the destination image file. Run this VI and it will create a file containing the front panel image of the VI you selected.
