Hi
CrisS,
I think if you dig into the
hierarchy of your "Append Front Panel to Report.vi" you will see what is going on. Open "Append Flattened
Pixmap
to Report.vi" then "Append Image and Delete if Possible.vi". It is in
here you will see a comment for HTML option. It says the following...
"We can't delete the temporary
image file because it is the file
that is being referenced by the HTML
file that is the report. We may end
up copying the image file when we save
the report, but by then it's too late to know
that it was a temporary file we generated."
Now if you save as a standard report apparently you will be able to delete the
temporary JPEG image. I am not sure if you need HTML or not so that may not be option for you. I should also say I looked at this in
LV 7.1 but I think it is the same in
LV 6.
You
also could keep doing what your doing and then write another program to
"clean up" your extra JPEG files and your HTML if necessary.
Also I am not sure if this something that you need to do
programmatically. That is to say how often do you want to archive your front panel. If the answer is seldom you could always use your
OS's option of copying the current screen to clipboard and then edit, crop, and save with your favorite image editor
Photoshop, The GIMP etc.
Hope this helps
Cheers,
