Select Operate»Print at Completion to print the front panel of a VI when it finishes running.

You also can complete the following steps to print the front panel of a VI after the VI runs.

1. Select File»VI Properties.
2. Select Print Options from the Category pull-down menu.
3. Place a checkmark in the Automatically Print Panel Every Time VI Completes Execution checkbox.
4. Click the OK button.

Selecting these options to print a VI is similar to selecting File»Print Window when the front panel is the active window.

If you use the VI as a subVI, LabVIEW prints when that subVI finishes running and before the subVI returns to the caller.

Tip  To print a front panel that does not include the name, date, or page number, select File»VI Properties and select Print Options Properties from the pull-down menu, then remove the checkmark from the Print header checkbox.
