Save Graph to File

[bhattnbikes]

Hi guys ,

    I am developing an application where i get an output graph for running a test over a period of 4 hours. I need to save the graph in a file. I tried to work with excel and word report generation Vis but cannot get the result. Any idea how to save the graph as image in a file ?

I do not have the word/excel report vi. But I do know that in the regular report vi's that there is a vi to take the front panel control and append it to a report. all this vi really does is make a jpg image of the control. you could try this.

I have attached a VI to export the graph to a jpg file.  Instructions inside.

Are you trying to save the data from the graph to a file or just place an image in a report?  If you are saving the data only you just need to format the data and save it to file usually a tab deliminated format is good since it is easily exchanged with other programs (use a binary format if the data set is vary large).  If you just want to obtain an image of the graph indicator use the  invoke method >> getImage which lets you get a image of the object that you can save as a image file or include it in a report.
