controls and structure of the event

• Loops Parallels and Structure of the event

  Hello

  Is attached a valid way to the use of the structure of the event?  I keep hearing that the case of the event should include control of the event.  Can the control be placed elsewhere?  For example, if I have 2 loops, I placed a structure of the event in the 1st loop and control associated with the event in the 2nd loop, is there a potential problem?  It is true that no matter where a Boolean with a value change is read, the Ministry of value in the event structure will be fired?  See attachment.

  This screenshot you posted should work for you fine.

  The main reason that you hear the case of the event should contain the control for the event is so that the control is read and for locking of Boolean values, gets reset when the case of events runs.

  Here since the first parallel loop runs (assuming nothing else in the loop causes the loop to get blocked), the stop button will read and reset.  The value change event will always be raised in the upper structure of event loop.

• Structure of the matter and structure of the event with a condition of the indicator (boolean)

  Hello

  I read a lot of posts but I can't solve my problem. I would like to set up a business structure and the structure of the event, and the condition to run the code inside is a Boolean indicator, in this case called Wahnelt (screenshot). I know I should use signal value, but I don't know how to implement. Here is the program:

• Structure of the event inside while loop

  I'm still fairly new to Labview and this may seem a simple question.  I'm doing a Subvi to display, edit, and create configuration files.  I use a ListBox to list all sections of a config file and structure of the event to update the values in each section, when they are clicked.  The problem is that the structure of the event seems to be a break the while loop so that the buttons do not work until the event has executed.  What I would like is the while loop to run continuously and the event to run only when I click in the listbox control.  I hope this makes sense.  There is a peak in the diagram below. Thank you

  There are a number of issues with your code that could cause problems:

  1. You must use the FP. Open method to open the front panel of a VI and of the public Service. Close method to close. I don't remember exactly the problem, but starting with the 7 worm nor indicated that these methods were the preferred way to perform these tasks.
  2. Based on what seems to be the code, the event for the control of Presets of wood should be a change the value - not a mouse down event. After changing the type of event, use the event data NewVal to drive the indexer table index entry.
  3. The buttons Ok and cancel them should be handled in their own events to change the value. The value change event Cancel would exit the loop, while passing the output error (which indicates that cancel was pressed) and default values for the other 4 outputs. The change of the value Ok event would leave the loop by passing the values that the operator had concluded the 4 controls on the front panel.
  4. An event of timeout with a very short time (1 msec) would stop loop if an error has occurred, or the output of the gate AND is set to true.
  5. The wait function is not necessary, as is the case outside the loop structure.

• structure of the event

  Hi, I'm new to Labview. May I ask - is it possible to use 'match model' within the structure of the event to detect the shift? For example, if the event detects 'one', it will go in the first round, if detect 'two', it will go to the second event...

  Your help will be very appreciated! Thank you..

  Hello Yee,

  do you really need events and structure of the event at all?

  Why not just use a structure case manages your values according to a the string received?

• How to control a VI (with a while loop and a structure of the event) from an another VI

  Hello

  I have the main VI which I want to be driven from an another VI. But I can't do that and I don't know what is happening.

  For example: VI main, I have a while loop with a structure of the event, there is a Boolean controller controlling a Boolean LED, which is inside the structure of the event. And the other VI, there is just a Boolean controller and functions of applications to open the main VI.

  How can I control the Boolean LED in VI main, changing the State of the Boolean controller in an another VI?

  Thank you.

  There are different options, but depending on what you want to do. For this example I can't give you a specific solution.

  I do not understand why you do what you do. Why do you call your 'principle VI' dynamically? What is the advantage to do? There are also other ways to call a VI dynamically, based on real cases (for example the method "call and forget", etc...).

  In you principle VI, control you Boolean ("THATCHER") is not the case of corresponding event. This is not usually a good practice, keep it inside.

  Also, why you try to communicate with the caller and callee VI through such a way to twist? There are better ways to do it.

  In one of my projects, I use the user event to launch orders in case of case of appellant VI.

• Structure of the event with gray and disabled controls

  I'm working on a data acquisition program that uses the structure of the event to manage the graphic user interface.  I have a 'start logging' button that raises an event when the value changes and starts to collect data.  While collecting data, the program disables and gray on all controls on the front panel except the button "stop logging" that ends a while loop with in the event of data logging.  If this event is active only when you press "stop recording."  There are other events that are triggered by a mouse up/down, action others controls disabled on the front panel.  The problem is that, while the program collect data if you click on one controls disabled and gray that has a mouse up/down, event, the program seems to hang and will not push the button ' stop logging.  I don't know if his attempts to run another event, but he continues to logging data, I just can't stop it.  I have to use the Cancel button to stop the program.

  The real problem is that a control, even when disabled and grayed out, can still trigger a mouse to the high-low event - controlled, it true?  Also, what happens if an event is raised during execution, another event my understanding was that a single event can run at a time.

  Thank you

  Doug

  Doug,

  By reading between the lines, here a bit...  Looks like you have your data collection and logging code in the box to Start Logging event.  If so, this is part of the problem.  No other case of event cannot run until this one is over.  Move data collection and the registration code to a parallel loop.  Have this loop to sit in an inactive state until you press the Start Logging button.  Then, in case for the button change send a command via a queue to the loop of logging and out the case of the event.  The event loop is then immediately ready to respond to the next event.

  Generally the code within a case of event should run quickly, no more than 10s of milliseconds for maybe 100 ms to avoid slow response to another event.

  Look at the producer/consumer (events) design pattern which comes with LV for an example.

• Structure of the event in primary vi and sub - VI with queues

  Hi all

  I have an application that uses the architecture of producer-consumer in which a queue transmits messages of a main VI by a Subvi, in response to the events of the user in the front panel. Inside the Sub VI, the queue is removed and treaty based on the corresponding message, and the result is displayed on the façade the sub of VI. User events are captured in the main VI using a Structure of the event. This works as expected.

  However, I also the controls on the Panel before the sub - VI to change the queue. My approach is to have another structure of the event in the VI sub for this. However, while the events in the main work of fine VI, events of sub - VI never treated.

  A simplified sandbox VI of what I'm trying to do is attached. As you can see, the main VI events are triggered as expected, but events in the sub VI are never triggered.

  I watched this white paper: detect an event in a Subvi from a high level VI , but it's not exactly what I'm trying to do. Instead, I'm just trying to detect an event generated within the Subvi. I searched this forum and found some research related, but none of them seemed to answer what I'm trying to do.

  Thank you

  Matt

  Your major issue here is the loop location.  While the structure should be inside the Subvi to make a message in the appropriate queue manager.  In fact, you should have 2 loops within your Subvi: 1) the QMH and (2) of the event loop.  You must use a user event to congratulate the event loop in the Subvi to stop.  You should NOT use the time-out of the Structure of the event unless you absolutely must.  And since everything in the Subvi is the message function, you do not have expectations.  They will be inactive (no CPU using) when there are no items to process from the queue or queue.

• Control the Structure of the event with text file

  I'm new relativaly in LabVIEW (experience only about 2 weeks). I am currently control a stepper motor using a structure of the event. Similar to the sample code given by LIFA, I entered my settings how the engine not move away, then press a button on the windows before, and it works this way. I also have other equipment that works as well in LabVIEW, as a transnational step; all components operate individually.

  Now, I'm trying to make the more automated system and to ensure that all the different equipment work in the same code. So, I tried to implement a structure of the event using a text as an input file to try to control events. The text file has a table 1 d of numbers going down vertically (only the line numbers change). So, I used a table of index function to take the numbers one by one, use a loop (while loop in this example) to go to the bottom of the column of numbers. However, the event not register the change, even if the indicator shows the value is changing.

  Attached, it's my test code and the text file that I use to try to control the structure of the event. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thank you.

  Oh, now I understand what you tried to say. I'm using a loop and a case structure to activate different events with the entries in the table. I thought case structures and event were the same, but you taught me the event structures are used just for the façade stuff. Thank you all!

• Structure of the event - controlled motor not variable

  I have a state machine that includes certain structures of the event. These event structures are used to control stepper motors using an Arduino Mega microcontroller. I'm using labview in 2012.

  The entrance to one of the events is the variable "pour the entry. I want to use it to control the motor speed and direction.

  If I control the motor as shown in the attached image Working.jpg, then the motor functions correctly. If I fix the motor to the steps variable # then the engine moves at the speed set in the right direction depending on whether the entry "pour" is positive or negative.

  However, I want to control the speed of the engine, not the number of steps, with the variable "pay Input". I checked that the values read by the indicator image INPUT_VALUE works do not are of the same order as the specified values, working, by using the "Set Speed". When I connect the value of the entry to the spindle speed of the motors of the Arduino (not_working.jpg) icon, the engine is running, apparently indefinitely at maximum speed. I don't understand why there is a difference in motor behavior between the value provided by these two methods at the entrance to the speed of the motor. I am confused by the present and don't know where to go from here.

  The structure of the event somehow behaves differently when taking a value from outside the structure to this data inside? or y at - it something to do with the opening of the structure on its first loop?

  I have also attached my vi together, even though she may not be the easiest to follow and requires an arduino Mega to run.

  You have a very inappropriate design of "state machine" - even if you do not have same event in more than one of your structures of the event (in addition to time-out), looks that get some of your treatment to go forward until you get something very specific (and in which none of your other user events are being processed).

  I strongly suggest that first set you design of State machine - perhaps follow producer/consumer Design Pattern (events) rather than having everything in a loop, the way you have.  If you keep everything in a loop, you should consider redesign so that you at least allow events to deal with rather than stay in a loop for an indefinite period!

  In any case, in the case where work, you send variable "Set Speed (steps per second)" for engines step by step write vi.  But otherwise, you're feeding 'Entry for' value - are they the same? And to let you know, you send only command "write" step by step when the input value to be paid.

  It's a big mess!  For starters, look at the attached picture, get rid of your structure of the event that has "for the entry" and replace it with what I showed in the picture. (In fact, all your event structures can / must be replaced with a similar logic.) Does not need the event structure in all this, you're just more complicated it must be!

• Control of the event: how to stop the race while loop within a structure of the event

  Hello

  I have some problems with control of a while loop inside a structure of the event (see annex VI).

  I have 3 buttons (the "Start measurement, stop, exit the program"). When a measure is running, it should be possible to stop the measure by clicking on "Stop the measure", but it does not work.

  Someone at - it an idea?

  Thank you very much and best regards,

  Michael

  Hi Michael,

  create a process parallel to your measurement. You can use the design model "producer/consumer with vents. You'll find it with «File-> new...» ».

  Another possibility would be to remove the "lock frontpanel" sign, in the case of event start measurement.

• Identify the specific control of Cluster in the structure of the event.

  Hello

  Maybe, I did my cluster wrongly mixed in a cluster of design control as seen in the attachment.

  Because of the mixed type, I can not use 'cluster to table' and impossible to identify which is different in a cluster.

  In the structure of the event, I need to make a process of changing values in the cluster.

  But how can I know if the Boolean control is changed or not?

  I would like to start a dialogue for the entry more if the set time is selected.

  labmaster.

  You could do an event to change the value for the Boolean value within the cluster.

• Can I activate a structure of the event with an another VI control

  I need activate an event structure in a VI with a change of value with an another VI control event. The code is included in the pictures, you can see in this post, and the variable stop is the control that should activate the structure of the event since another VI.

• How to control the structure of the event

  What I'm trying to do, it's when the condtion is true, I want that the structure of the event to excute. But the event structure wil excute not except if he's changed the puch model, any idea how?

  It is more likely that he wants the sequence of events that he has set up to run after the result once changes.  If you change the logic to check the values after each numeric change (2), you will need to learn how to check to make sure that the latest iteration was not true.  Otherwise, it will start the sequence over and over.

  Really, you have to escape completely the structure of the event.  This isn't what you want.  Your code lends itself to a great state machine.

  You'll want to ask you a few things:

  (1) I want my code to run continuously or I just want to check double-digit times? (your code is currently the second)

  (2) I want the user to be able to stop my code once the sequence begins? (it is usually a Yes)

  (3) what I want 6 Road, path 5 or the comparison to happen first?  I want all run at the same time?  Do I need one before the other? (currently, you cannot predict what will happen first).

  You will need to understand the topics are: State of the machines, the flow of data, structures, business, calendar, and race conditions.  Now, you need to get you into trouble.
