a way to group the front panels in a Panel?

• A way to group controls and indicators on the Front Panel and that they can be made Visible or not as a group?

  I would like to combine several orders and LEDs on the front panel in a group in a way that allows me to do the whole group Visible or not.

  I tried to use a Cluster, but it has a side effect that all elements must be inside the controls or indicators, but not mixed.

  Is there any graphic element, like a panel that can contain other controls and indicators on the inside and make them Visible or not as a group regardless of whether they are commands or the LEDs?

  Good suggestions on how to do this?

  Thank you.

  The tab control is still not my favorite, appearance but it's a way fast and effective to show and hide groups of controls and indicators.

• Best way to reset all controls on the front panel except one?

  Hello world

  I have an interesting problem, whereby I need to run successive tests using a test station which has several indicators on the front panel. At the end of each test, I need to reset all to default values, with the exception of a control (Test ID) who needs to keep his information - its value is used in an initialization status for test to ask for information from a database, so it can not be reset with the rest controls.

  I post all orders at a time using a reference ThisVI and VI Default Vals.Reinit All method, but this will obviously reset my control values (Test ID) as well. Any suggestions on how to keep properly or may store this information control while resetting all others. I can reset individually others but there is a little and more can be added as this system is developed.

  I don't really know what is the right way to proceed, and Labview has maybe one trick in his bag that I know to work around this problem.

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions,

  Alex

  Flank the node invoke with two nodes in the value property of the control to maintain the value. To the left we read as well as a right and the wires together. Connect three nodes with a thread of error to establish the order of execution.

  First reading place value on the wire, which is then written after the values have been reset to the default value.

  

• Is it possible to connect a simple 1 d array to a digital indicator or what would be the best way to display the numeric values of the array on the front panel?

  Thank you Adam, it's originally in a while loop, I placed it in a loop for example, wired County in the for loop and presto, this son of a digital indicator. It works very well. Thanks for the help folks.

• Is there a way to put a button on the front panel only when clicked gives a pop-up dialog box with more information on it?

  Hello world

  The simulations that I create are very simple themselves but are intended to use in the classroom to help students learn more about the proven theory.  I hope to be able to place a 'help' or 'other info' button on the front panel that rises wants more info on theory, they can click on it and a pop up appears with background information on it.  It should also have a second button to close it and return to the main façade.  Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

  Thank you!

  Use a structure of the event on the main vi when the button is clicked, launches a "help" void / vi. On the inside of the Sub vi (with the set properties to load the front when it is called, of course), use another structure of the event to wait until then click on the button of the Subvi, you can return to the main VI. Do you need assistance on using the structures of the event?

• Effectively save the front panel settings

  Hello.  Just a quick question: is there a way to effectively interrogate all the settings on the front panel and save them in a file to be loaded later?  I know that this is possible by making the keys for each, but my front panel has a huge 38 parameters that need to be saved.  Using the methods I found online and elsewhere in this forum, save a large number of parameters is possible, but would be very tedious.  I was wondering if there was a more efficient way, as a command to mark all present controls and group them into an easy to manipulate the cluster.

• Disabling the controls on the front panel

  Hello

  Currently, I am working on trying to disable/gray out between 10-20 controls on the front panel when you press a start button and then allowing them the end of the test. Currently I use the property nodes, all of which are connected to a constant of the State in which I want that works perfectly. My question is that there is another way other than having a bunch of knots of padding property to the top of my structure of the event. Ive read where people had Subvi, which has used references to make this same feature, but is there a way of doing things in the block diagram of my current VI? Thank you!

  Need references of your controls on the front panel, so this can be fast, because you can select more than one, and with a right click you create references.

  I have attached a version LV2010.

  Edit: another review:

  Must be created only once these references. Usually, it's comfortable group all the references in a cluster, use this thread through your entire code. This way you can just ungroup references to the actual location, you have to play with, put them in a table and use the above FOR loop to change their properties...

• Can I programmatically change the default property to create for all elements of the front panel?

  Can I programmatically change the default property to create for all elements of the front panel?

  I need to make the logout button, when click on, takes care of all the default values of my fron Panel.

  There is no way to programmatically call the functionality of an editor 'Use default' or 'Load Default'. To do it yourself, you will need to write your default values for each control explicitly in the diagram, when the user press the logout button.

• How to scroll through the front panel when running

  Hello

  I'm using LabVIEW 8.5. I want to scroll the front panel automatically according to the moving object. I enclose a vi for example, in which I move the image, but if it is out of range of screen I have to scroll manually horizontal scroll bar to see the position of the image, it is possible that it automatically scrolls according to my position of the object.

  -Thanks in advance

  Hi, Mary,

  Well, now I see what you wanted. From my point of view using front panel scrolling for this animation is wrong way (if not I do not know your final objectives).

  I would recommend that you use the image for this control. Here the work by hand a little more, but you will get better results and will not scroll to your façade.

  For example, "quick and dirty" implemented:

• Security on the front panel does not work

  Hello

  I have a problem and a question:

  Problem: I created some controls on the front panel and some groups which they are responsible. Administrators can see and do everything, the operator cannot see some of them. If I build exe it works on development PC but if I copy them to another PC, it does not. It does not show these elements of façade. Areas are the same, SCADA, only the names of PC are different. The two computers are not in the same network. I create local domains and users on two computers through domain account manager. What could be the problem?

  Question: How can I create an access control list (ACL) and assign them to the elements of façade programmaticaly? What is the syntax? I have found no examples of code.

  Thank you.

  I found the solution. Maybe someone also needs:

  You must copy the folder C:\Program Files (x 86) \National Instruments\Shared\Domain development pc to other PC, in which you want to have the same field and same users. It does not have to generate the new domain with exactly the same name on another pc and generate new users. You must copy the whole directory of your pc to the other pc. It works now.

• pause button on the front panel

  Hello.

  I try to run synchronous, continuous analog conversion of 2 cards of PXI-6259, and capture the State of the several digital at the same time.  I managed to get everything is configured and working properly, however I have a problem if the user presses the button "pause" on the front panel.

  From what I can tell, acquisitions of data will continue to run in the background (I'm using a task DAQmx and stop was never called).  For my analog inputs, this is not a problem.  However, the digital inputs always generate a ' 200010 - on-board memory overflow error. Due to the limitations of system and/or the bandwidth of the bus, the driver could not read data the device enough fast to follow the flow of the unit. »

  Is it possible to register for an event of user interface that is generated when the user presses the button "pause", so that I can stop the acquisitoin of data before the error occurs?

  Thanks in advance,

  -Rich

  I thought to add my own button "pause" / control, but my users have become accustomed to hitting the pause on the front panel button, and it will be difficult to get them to change.  I guess that the error would remind them :-)

  Well, that's easy to fix - change the appearance of window properties if the toolbar is not visible, while the code runs, and there will be a pause button for your users to click.

  Many of our applications have a function somewhat like this.  My colleague implementation in a very simple way: he put the graphical indicator within a box structure.  Connect a Boolean control "pause" to the structure of the case, and that's it.  Data acquisition runs constantly but will only update the chart when the pause button is false.  This approach might work for you?

• The front panel scroll, based on the size of the monitor

  Hi guys,.

  I built an exe file of a VI on a labview having machine so that it can be run in another has no labview. The machine where I programmed the VI has a large 22 "monitor and so I put on my face as a result. The machine that will use the exe file has a screen size of 15 ", and some elements of the front panel are not accessible if I make an enlargement. However if I don't maximize the screen I can move the window to the edge and access controls. But it's so heavy. Is there a way I can add scroll bars to the VI while I can scroll the front panel?

  Thank you

  Of course.

  Scrolls bars are something that you can turn on (and are normally enabled by default) in the dialog box properties VI of VI.

  In addition, it is usually best to design your sign before and that it is effective for the smallest screen size you expect that it runs.

• Is it possible to call a .exe (non-LabVIEW, such as Notepad) in a child windown on the front panel?

  I would like to launch a stand-alone .exe inside the front of my VI.  It is a piece of software by the provider of a sensor that I try to incorporate in my VI.  I was able to find how to call the .exe using the .NET constructor and invoke nodes.  However, the application opens in its own window.  Is there a way to run from a child window within the façade (ideally, within a tab on the front panel control)?

  I'm in LabVIEW 8.6.

  Thank you.

  I don't think that it actually works. My understanding is limited about this feature, but since I read it only works with the pop-up windows and windows that are already children. The application's main window is not a child window.

  I've done it before.  I have attached a simple example using Notepad.  Make sure that the notebook is already open no open files.  Since the example is not the position of the child window, the position relative to the window will be the same, because it is off the desk.  So, make sure the upper left corner of the Notepad is close to the origin of the desktop computer.

• Outsourcing of the controls on the front panel for a panel floating Subvi

  Hello!

  I already found a few similar topics, but I still don't know which is the best way to solve my problem. I will try to describe my problem in detail first: I have a main VI that acquires data from a device and displays these data in a large waveform graph. I have also a few controls on the front panel to control my device. First, I placed all of these device controls (digital, sliders, etc.) as well as the chart inside the front of my main VI. However, due to limited screen space now I would like to make the largest possible graph and so decided to "outsource" some controls out of the main façade of VI to several panels front-end Subvi.

  I would then press a button in my main VI and it would open the Panel before the floating of the Sub - VI corresponding with outsourced controls when required. However, everything must be absolutely transparent. It is important that floating panels to run in parallel with my main VI, that is the main VI must continue to operate. That way I'll have my data constantly updated in the chart in my main VI while I can change some settings of the device through the controls placed in my SubVIs. These changes will be immediately applied (for example as soon as the main VI calls this slot - VI in its main loop).

  It is important to the visibility of the outsourced optional control panel, i.e. If the Subvi front panel opens with the user that it will pop up and the user will be able to change the paramers device using the. But then the user should be able to close the front panel (hide) the Subvi to see the entire chart again without the Panel floating in front of her (of course control values must be maintained when the Subvi front is not visible). Then the new button is pressed in the main VI that opens the dialog box not modal Subvi containing controls and it can redefine new values of device.

  Advice how to do this are welcome. I don't know if I need something complex like VI server or asynchronous screws or I can solve my problem by changing some settings simple Subvi? Thank you in advance for your help!

  Best regards

  How about using a global variable for the VI at VI communication instead of a queue?

  A global variable will, also.  Write you in one place and read the value frequently to somewhere else (in the election). So you can see easily to any value change.  However, mark will waste a lot of time processor.  This is why I have proposed to use a queue or a notification utility.

  Would be the last option that you mentioned, i.e. finish the Subvi at each change of value, I would keep the Subvi front open as needed until things from the user to hide? Or would there be inevitable flickering Panel or any other drawbacks?

  Yes, the Subvi can keep the façade open until the user closes. And there should be no flickering.  The biggest drawback I see right now is that when you expect an event in the Subvi, the mainVI cannot stop without talking to the Subvi to stop.  So you'll need another channel of communication (again a global, a queue, a declarant or an event) to tell the Subvi that she must stop.
