change the front panel

How can we change to frontpanel in labview?

I wrote a program where the appearance of the façade must be different.

How do you make different frontpanels in the face?

What about Michael

I still don't get that you have to go with two screws separated, or you could make your project with a single main VI. If so, here is a small example with TAB controls:

  • Error when changing the language of the front panel in Japanese

    Hello world...

    I'm changing the front panel of the English language to Japanese. To do this, first I exported the strings through the Tools->Advanced-> export channels.  After that I changed one of the label in Japanese and saved with Unicode encoding (as with normal ASCII coding Japanese texts will not be read). I imported the same file I recorded in a Unicode encoding format. But it shows that the error given below

    "Error analysis during the import of channels
    to test Main.vi
    of D:\Riyas\Work\X 520\28-11-15\X520 RT-Host 20151127\Strings\Test Main_Import 1. txt
    "Saturday, November 28, 2015 11:09:14.

    (See the attached screenshot of error)

    So I tried to import the same file ASCII coding mmee, then it is successful. But the problem is that the modified label is not in Japanese that it shows a few points mark. I'm able to import the channel file saved in ASCII format code but the channel with coding ASCII file will not read Japanese texts. So please help me to solve this problem.

    I need to import a channel file saved with a Unicode encoding or in any case format to enable Japanese texts as ASCII coded format.

    I modified the configuration settings to activate the Unicode format as follows "UseUnicode = TRUE'." I'm using Labview 2014.

    Thank you...

    My requirement is to change the language of the labels on the front. Is it possible to export the settings of the legend and label parameters separately? Currently, I am only able to export the two together. Also when I import the unicode file that does not contain unicode characters, it shows the same error.

    Perhaps the requirement is statesd as such because the people who wrote the requirement had no idea, you can keep the labels even but change the subtitles only.  Changing labels is a massive effort that could have profound ramifications to the code itself.  Not the same with a legend.

    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.

  • WANT 411c: MFP ENVY 411c lights on the front panel

    I find anywhere a note detailing the two LEDs on the front panel of the printer.  Of course, the left is the power light and the Start button / stop.  The other, 1/2 "to the right, has an icon as the icon of WiFi or wireless, or whatever it may be as an antenna with a radiating signal left and right of it.  What is this for?  It seems that there is a hole below and to the right of the symbol, but nothing ever shows up.  I turned off the wireless and turn it back on and or State shows a light here.  I reinstalled the software checks to see if that mattered and it made no difference.  I also unplugged the router and the printer, and that has not changed anything. It is connected to my wireless network and works very well.  What this has to do with some additional services such as ePrint?  I just lost some of them September 1, 2016.  Perhaps the only light when something just one of them?

    Hello

    That your work as expected wireless connection, there no problem with the wireless printer, just with his lamp wireless card.

    The lamp to indicate the wireless connection is turned on and must turn on once connected wireless.

    They have nothing to do with ePrint or any Web service, it must turn on once connected to a local wireless network.

    As you mentioned that you are connected and the printer maintain a wireless connection, it's probably just a blown bulb.

  • How to make non-visible control on the Front Panel appear at Design time?

    I have a few controls on the front whose visibility is changed (on or off) at run time. The problem is that if I stop the Run time, the visibility of the control remains in the running in design mode state. So I am not able to see or find the control to make changes in design mode.

    How can I make all the visible front-panel controls, or find and make it visible to a control on the front whose visibility has False?

    Thank you.

    It is documented in the help of LabVIEW.

    Hidden front panel display


    Perform the following steps to display a hidden front control or indicator. You can also hide the indicators and controls on the front panel.

    1. Find the terminal block schema for the object. "If you have multiple devices with the same type of data, right click on the terminals and select visible elements" Label in the context menu. Find the object with the label that corresponds to the object hidden façade.

    2. Right-click in the Terminal, and then select Show Control context menu if the object is a control or indicator to show if the object is an indicator.

    You can also use the Visible property to display the controls and indicators by program.

    You can also view all hidden front panel controls and indicators.

  • 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,

    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 indicator background color manually

    Hi I'm trying to color of the lights on the front panel depending on whether a test was successful or not. I created a Subvi to do the job, but I can't choose the right to the property to be set depending on what type of indicator is in color (ie. digital or string) then I used a case statement and try to detect what type of reference is passed in so I can set the right to property. I used a number of existing posts about it to this day.

    I seem to be unable to determine the type of reference correctly, I get errors about not being able to cast to the specified type, trying a color string indicator.

    I tried to add a screencapture but the system hung while I attached the VI, any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    When you compare references, the result tells you whether or not they refer to the same object, it does not tell you if they are of the same type.

    See VI changed to a technique to use.

  • How to get rid of the reference lines on the front panel

    I forgot how I created a couple of horizontal and vertical lines on the front panel. It seems that the original on the front lines. When I move my program to another monitor with a different resolution, the layout is messed up because of the reference lines cannot change the resolution. Everybody respected this before? How to get rid of them?

    Ah, I figured out. I accidentally selected the "scale with objects pane" from the context menu of a button in the tab. This is whence the reference lines.

  • 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...

  • Conflict of flow of data on the front panel

    Hello

    My vi is almost done, but I still have a problem with the front panel. I think that there is data traffic conflicts in my vi.

    When you run my vi, you will see the pop-up window asking you to set a path of file, control devices, selection of data to record and trace. Then, you might want to change the units, turn off all the buttons light and ok to select what data you want to save. Then click on RUN.

    The problem is; supposedly all the buttons are on by default, if you disable certain economies or tracing buttons to choose not to save, and then click RUN, after that all the buttons are again even if you have turned off before the race. They must stay off, if you have selected to save. The condition of main data flow is always the same be before running (only light buttons and ok).

    Do you have ideas of how to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance

    You have what is called a race condition that usually slips in programs that use local variables.  If you look at your first while loop to read in the current value of the 'steam data hand' control and store in a shift register.  After the structure of the event outputs you write this offset value to register in the control and in the process of replacement of the changes that the user can do.

    A quick and dirty solution would be to manage the main event to change the value for 'Stream' in the structure of your event to update the shift register whenever the user changes the values in the control.

    A better solution would be to get rid of the shift registers and move local variables in the structure of the event.  As long as the option "lock the front until the end of the event" (I'm not sure of the exact wording and I work in the LabVIEW Base at the moment so I can't check) is selected it will ensure that you do not work in a race condition (you know the value cannot change inbetween you value reading, and you update the control).

    Even better would be to avoid local variables wherever possible.  This is general advice only and not not something that I can do much more tangible without knowing the details of how you want your application to behave.

    Hope this helps,

  • 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.

  • Only the front panel cursor hand

    On the front panel, I see only the hand cursor.  I can place objects but not change or move.  On the block diagram, I can place objects, but not wire or move objects.  The VI is not running.  I'm using LabView 6.1.

    You realize, not you, that you have to manually select the tool with 6.1? Can you show the tool palette to select from? You can click on the tab key to cycle through tools?

  • Is it possible to use a box Structure to hide digital indicators on the front panel, when they are not in use?

    I'm rather new to LabVIEW, only used for about 1.5 weeks from this post, it means that I may be missing something pretty obvious due to ignorance, but is it possible to make my front to change as my changes of breakage due to the selection of the user to a certain case via the front panel?

    The goal of the program is to make a simple layout for a user who uses the digital multimeter that the proposed code is designed for and I don't want tons of digital controllers and such clutter the screen that do not work with the function of the user uses to measure with.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes.

    Two ways: 1. use a tab control.

    2. use of property nodes (Visible property).

    The tab control is a bit easier on the block diagram, but if some controls should appear in many cases it is difficult to do.  Property nodes take more space on the diagram but allows you the versatility to do almost everything you want.

    Read the help files and look at a few examples.
