Full Version: Printing to a USB Drive on a Panelview Plus

We have been getting several requests for this from our customers, but I haven't found any way to make it possible.

We are currently using PanelView Plus 1500s (non-CE). The customers would like to insert their USB Thumb Drive into the USB Port and press a button to take a "Print Screen" and save it to the USB Drive. They would like PDF format, but I would think an image file (.JPG, .BMP, .GIF) would work as well.

I doubt that this is even remotely possible without the CE Panelview Plus. Does anyone know of an ActiveX control to do something like this or if it would be possible to write an ActiveX to do this?

Thanks in advance!

I am now learning that it doesn't necessarily have to be a PDF. Just an easily read and e-mailed file format.

I am currently working on setting up the MEDatastorePlus ActiveX control to see if I can get that to write a .CSV file with current operating information.

If anyone has any other ideas, feel free to chime in.

Thanks!
