Use tokens with any parameter that accepts a string. Tokens are strings that generate information automatically and often are used in headers and footers of reports. Use tokens to number pages and place a timestamp on a report.
For example, if you are using the Easy Text Report VI, entering the token <page> in one of the footer strings causes a page number to appear in the footer of every page of the report.
The following list describes the tokens in LabVIEW.
Token | Description |
---|---|
<tab> | For standard reports, LabVIEW indents the text to the next tab location. For HTML reports, LabVIEW interprets this token as <br>. |
<page> | Current page number. LabVIEW ignores this token for HTML reports. |
<pages> | Total number of pages. LabVIEW ignores this token for HTML reports. |
<pagenofm> | Current page number with the total number of pages in the report. LabVIEW ignores this token for HTML reports. Example: 7 of 30 |
<shortdate> | Current date in the form xx/xx/xx. Example: 10/5/98 |
<longdate> | Current date in the form Day, Month and Date, Year. The month, date, and year order defaults to the date settings of your operating system. Example: Monday, October 05, 1998 |
<time> | Current time in the form Hour:Minute:Second AM/PM. Defaults to the clock settings of your computer. Example: 1:58:22 PM |
