Hi Dewesoft,


Is it possible to save widget as image from multi channels at once? 

Usually I use Edit>Save to file>Widget as image, but it is very time consuming if you have many channels and want to save them all.

Dear Benji,


What kind of action do you mean with "saving image from multi channels at once"? You can either use "Widget as image" which is for saving (one) highlighted widget, "Widget group as image" which is for saving in case you extend widget in multiple columns so you can save all of them or "Display as image" which saves the whole display.


Best regards

I mean if you have 30 channels in each setup and do 10 measuring and then you want to save the widget as image, one channel in each image. You will get 300 images and you need to do 300 times.


I do not want to put all 30 channels in the same display and then save it as image.

Dear Benji,


Dewesoft doesn't have a functionality that you would save all widgets at all. One option is to use a Sequencer and Action block to open an Auto hot key script which click on the screen to perform saving procedure.

@Matic Pevec

OK, thanks!

Do you have any example on "Auto hot key script" that I can use?

Dear Benji,


I'm adding a simple Sequence that uses the Authotkey script for clicking and inserting the image name. You can use "Windows spy" for reading the window coordinates and update the script with the values on your screen. Otherwise, it won't work as the script is adjusted to my screen. Editing the script can be simply performed in Notepad ++.


The sequence is used for loading the datafile and running the autohot key script.


I'm adding a video of how automation works on my side. I hope this will work for you.


Best regards
