How do I print or save a graph? Using the export command seems to do nothing.

You might want to use the message body for a bit of additonal information - usch as what language you are using. You posted to the Multifunction DAQ board so you might want to repost to the appropriate language board. If you do, also attach the program you've written so someone can see what you've done.

I'm using signal express version 1.1.1. This is a full version that came with my LabVIEW 8.2 package. When I try to export a plot as an image to either printer or file, nothing happens. We've installed this on two different machines with the same results. This isn't a complicated manuver. Just right click on the plot, select Export and chose printer or software. When I do this nothing happens. Is there a known problem with version? Is this a trial version?

I've used this with a USB-6009 and a 6024 card.

Hi J18P,

We are aware of and have addressed the limitations of the export signal function in Signal Express 1.1.1.  In order to successfully print out the graph, you can either use the print screen function of Windows, or select Edit>>Copy, and then use a paint tool to print out the desired region.

OK, is this fixed in the current version?

Hi J18P,

Yes.  In the current version, you can save a graph to a program such as Excel using the export function.  In terms of printing, this function was removed from the export menu, but can now be achieved by selecting File >> Print >> Print Data View.
