Take a temporary picture of a region of interest of a VI

[Nando88]

I want to be able to take a picture that will be stored in the temporary files, of  region of interest in a VI. The thing is that the region of interest will be located in the far end left side of the VI, so it will not be seen on screen, but I still want to be able to programatically take a picture of this region of the VI.

Can someone please tell me if this can be done and how to do this?

Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry but I don't know how this could be done.

A piece of advise, that more experienced members of this forum would give:

As a rule of thumb your block diagramm should always be made so that it fit on your monitor.

Best Regards

The VI class has methods for getting the images of both the BD and FP, including parts which are not currently visible (FP.Get Image and BD.Get Image Scaled). If you want, the Code Capture Tool allows you do this manually, but also installs VIs to the palettes which allow you to call the code yourself and also show how to get the relevant part of the image.

Lets find out what you are really trying to do.  what information is off screen that you want to file away?

 if its a graph use an "export to..." method on the control.
