Hide / disable the front panel

Long story, long:

I created a little utility like a VI.  The utility accepts command-line arguments, reads a file, outputs (using .NET) on the console, and then must close.  The front panel is empty, and the program is expected to completed in a fraction of a second.  In fact, I bet that "demand" fresh General takes longer than the actual program.  I would have coded in another language, but I can read only the cluster in a binary file with LabVIEW.

Environment:

Windows XP, LabVIEW 8.2.1, .NET Framework 3.5

How to prevent a LabVIEW program displaying the front panel and appear in the taskbar?

There is also an option to simply close the front panel, try with 100% transparent option also

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Satellite A200-1N1: "Satellite" LED on the front panel does not light up

    Hi people!

    I noticed that my LED with the word "Satellite" on the front panel lights.

    You have all the hypotheses on the causes?

    Hi Maresha,

    The front 'logo' LED is enabled or disabled using a BIOS "Display front Logo" option that can be set on IT or OFF you need. Access your BIOS settings (F2 at startup) and check that this setting is set to 'ON '.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Want 5530: want to scan from the front panel of the printer computer

    Hello

    I am not able to use the scan to computer function from the front panel of the printer to a PC recently updated.

    On the front panel, I press 'Scan', then 'computer '. The name of the computer to which I want to scan is listed, so I select it. The scan preview screen appears then I press 'analysis '. After a standby display told me that the computer does not have to check the cable, etc...

    The PC is turned on, and the connected user.

    Printer is connected directly to the PC via USB cable.

    PC operating system is Windows 64-bit 10.

    Printer is 5530 want all-in-one.

    HP Print and Scan Doctor no problem.

    I tried with a disabled firewall.

  • 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.

  • Scan of the computer does not work in silent mode of the button on the front panel.

    The machine is the Photosmart all-in-1 6280 on a network of small size and using the HP Solution Center. Basically everthing works fine, but when I use the button on the front panel to scan a document, it seems necessary to walk to the computer to answer a question about whether I want to scan another document until I could walk to the printer/scanner and press the button to scan the following document. Surely, there must be a way to do the scan run in quiet mode so that I don't have to keep clicking OK on the computer every time? I have already disabled the overview of digitization and the prompt for advanced options.

    Oops, forget all that; now I found the setting 'interrogate analyses' which stood on another branch of the installation menus. That solved my problem

  • HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Small Form: The front panel audio connector - this only made type to use for headphones and microphone

    Hello

    I am trying to determine what type of audio 3.5 mm plug to put into the connector on the front panel for the use of a headset to make video communications.

    could be - sleeve, ring and end cap (mono audio and microphone)

    or

    could be - sleeve, ring, ring and tip (stereo sound and microphone)

    Having read through the manuals and nothing is said on the type to use.

    Hello world

    Just plugged the connector 4 poles on my headset combination for my mobile phone (cellular) and the box of pop - up asked me to select headset or microphone - no selection for both.

    Looks like the right sleeve is for headphones only, and the left one is for headphones or micro - selectable by the user and not the two on a single sheet.

    Everything explained by the practice - but not the paperwork in the manuals.

    #5 for microphone or headset - menu popup is displayed after you insert a 3.5 mm plug to select that one but not both at the same time.  (So I can't use my headset to phone)

    Thank you

  • 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.
