What is best way to output wave graphic which come from Digital Oscilloscope into word docs?

[mmm2006]

I want to capture wave graphic from digital oscilloscope  and save into word.

From digital oscilloscope, i can get data array for wave. But i don't know how

to output wave into a word file. Should i save this graphic to a file firstly,then load it

into word by program?

please give me a better method about this? I don't handle this before.

Thanks.

Am sure you can able to take a screenshot (Print screen) with the help of drivers for that oscilloscope. You can get .jpg files. Is there any specific requirement to save it as word docs? Post your oscilloscope model number and tell me whether you are using LabVIEW drivers for it and can you able to take a printscreen of the waveform from the oscilloscope.

You can get the image data of any control or indicator, and also the front panel. Depending on your Labview version you may also make reports in HTML format and save it. The functions needed is included Base version

You can also purchase a toolset for making word format reports.

hi Mathan

I mean i can get wave data by visa interface and these data can be used to create a graphic in labview.

I want to insert the graphic into a word docs. But i don't do it before and want to find help about it.

THanks.

I didn't quite understand. You mean you want to collect waveform data points from the oscilloscope and create your own waveform graph in LabVIEW with the help of the collected data points? Correct me if i am wrong.

I think the easiest way is to get the image data from the front panel or indicator. Then save it to a picture file, and insert it into word. Do you need help with this?

You didn't answered my question yet. What is the model no of the oscilloscope you are using? Are you using any drivers for the instrument? If so i hope there are functions like these.

1) Instrument I/O --> Waveform--> Configure functions--> Get Waveform.vi

       With the help of this you can collect the wave data from the instrument.

You can get the points in the array and you can send it to a waveform graph very easily in LabVIEW.

Post if you want something else.

I think you are not worried about the waveform but you want to output the frontpanel graph into a word document. Basically report generation right?

A quick and dirty method I often use then I write documentation is to stop the Labview program. Then I copy the control/indicator and just paste it into Words. It will be pasted as a bitmap picture

hi, Coq Rouge

Thanks. I think it is a good method.
