title: Convert front panel screenshot to base64 string using LabVIEW 2018
body: <p>I need to convert the screenshot of the front panel of the application into a Base64 string to post it to a web API. The block diagram is:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/gfUp7.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/gfUp7.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I used a "base64_fast_encode" utility vi from the link </p>

  <p>Please find the encoded base64 string file from the link:

  <p>I pasted the resultant encoded base64 string in the below website:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://codebeautify.org/base64-to-image-converter#" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://codebeautify.org/base64-to-image-converter#</a></p>
  
  <p>And I observed that it is not decoded back to image.</p>
  
  <p>Please suggest if there are any other utility vis to convert to base64. If not, suggest an alternative of doing it.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
