ghostscript failed if printing under LabView7.1/Linux

[iset]

Hi,

i use LabView7.1/Linux(SuSE8.2). Printing does not operate. If i configure the printer as "cat  >testfile.ps", then a good readable postscriptfile is generate. Open with ghostview fails with the lines at the end of this message. Is the postscriptgenerator in lv7.1 buggy? From other application is printing no problem!

Greetings,
Roland

hello roland,

could you try to set the decimal point to ".", if it is set to ",".

Hello Robert,

where can i set it? Do you think the decimal point in the postscript file is wrong?

regards,
Roland

hello roland,

open LV and go to:
"tools -> options -> front panel"

and uncheck "use localized decimal point"

Hi Robert,

great! You solve the problem! Now it is possible to create correct postscript files. A side effekt is, that the measurement data files also contain the dezimal point - but this is no problem.
I would never become this idea to solve the problem! It is strange...

Thank you very much! - Now i can do begin my holydays for three weeks 🙂

best regards,
Roland
