• How to create a Global Variable through the Project Explorer

  Hello world!

  I know how to create a global variable (in a vi through the range of functions...).

  but I'm missing a way to create one via the Project Explorer.

  It's a missing feature or just this documentation (and the intuition of myself) are missing?

  It would be very convenient.

  THX for your time and hope that answers.

  EDIT: although I agree with Gerd (he probably wondering why you need so we can recommend a better way ), I rarely use them in easy to write once - read many applications such as security levels overall program at initialization (VER) to read later, but NOT modified.  I know it would be better to make a good class, functional Global Variable (FGV) or a motor Action (AE) but globals ARE practical and safe IF used wisely.

  (I guess that's where I store global variables)

  At this point, global variables are not accessible with the above configuration.  Was the only one I can get this working is to cut and paste the Globals in each item of form1. #subform [0], which of course defeats the purpose of global variables!  I intend to have a lot more items so wouldn't duplicate global variables for each of them!

  Can someone show me how to do this?

  Any help is very appreciated!

  Thank you

  Post edited by: stanbridgej - colors and fonts or not will not save.  Are bolded my question make (non-fat) code easier to read (I hope).

  I haven't used Formccalc, but I thought it would be the same regardless. Insert a script object to the top of the hierarchy and call it, for example "sco." Paste the Globals. Then refer to variables of the extent that sco. Cityscope_Sydney_CostUser1, etc. Make one

  App.Alert (sco. Cityscope_Sydney_CostUser1);

  one of the fields. If the debugger is activated, it will tell you if it cannot resolve the reference as "sco. In this case, you may need to use the som expression to reference the script object, for example

  var scoScript = xfa.resolveNode ("topOfHierarchy.sco");

  scoScript.Cityscope_Sydney_CostUser1

  But if as close as possible to the top of the hierarchy above should work.

• How to control the value of a variable that is shared at the beginning of the vi

  Hi all

  In short: How can I make sure the values of the variables shared at the start of a vi?

  I have two vi.

  One is a main vi where did I order a shared Boolean variable "run DAQ".

  The other is a vi with a while loop that "polls" for the shared variable "Execute DAQ", which is connected to a box Structure. If the case is false, it does nothing, if it is true is short some simple IO DAQ within a while loop.

  To be sure that at the beginning of the vi the variable 'Execute DAQ' shared value false (no matter what 'State' the shared variable was left in front of the vi began) I write a Boolean constant to this shared variable 'Execute DAQ' out of hand while loop.

  Now my question: how is it possible that the case structure can enter into the 'True' State, even when main vi is not executed and there is therefore no way of the shared variable can be written in. I know that shared variables are stored in memory, but that's why I write it to false at the beginning of the vi.

  Even when I read the first shared variable before you change it with a constant False the second instance of the shared variable that is wired to the case structure bed to True.
  It seems to me that the shared variables do not follow the 'right' of the dependence of LabView and are updated outside the normal flow of the vi.

  Thanks for your time and advise on this.

  Someone knows another way around this?

  Yes.  Do not use them.

  If you not post on a network, use a normal Global Variable or use a queue, the user event, stating to send commands indicating loops for updating their values.

  If on a network, then I recommend the network stream to send commands/data back with updates.  I used shared variables, more I hate them.

• How to associate existing global variables

  It's probably something stupid that I'm missing.

  I created a global variable and there is a string.  I put it in a file called XML_Global.vi I then proceeded to make an another global var and would assign to the same variable.  However, the IDE shows me an another façade Globals 4.  How can I associate the existing façade of XML_Global.vi with the global variable I PLOPPED down there?  I looked everywhere on how to proceed in the properties and others, but couldn't find it.

  Have you read through this document?

  http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361F-01/lvhowto/creating_global_variables/

  There may be some confusion about what is happening... When I add a global variable for the rough process, I followed the block diagram is:

  • Open the front panel to the global variable
  • Add FP (there may be several elements in a global variable VI)
  • Save the global variable VI
  • Then drag + drop of my project on a diagram VI
  • Select the variable I want by double clicking on the overall and will select an element > name Variable

  If this clears it for you? Looks like you try to simply place another instance of global variable in the palette of functions and then select the variable to assign this instance to (similar to what you would do with a local variable)? With globals, a new instance of a global VI is created when you drop the global BD... you want to place the world you have edited/saved (drag + drop of project or use the "Select" VI in the range of functions).

  I hope this helps...

• Can I use the timestamp to a global variable that is published to network to reduce network traffic?

  I would use a couple of network-has published the global variables that will contain large groups of data.  I want to host them on a device, but read them in several - consider a distributed control system.  The data will be updated very rarely, but when that happens, I want that all my GUI to know quickly.  I have all the GUI, simply read data 4 x per second (which would be fast enough), but I was wondering if there is a more elegant solution (always using global variables).  If I read only the timestamp 4 x per second each of the HMI, compare to the last reading and then interrogate the integer variable if timestamps are different, which will require fewer resources that just enter the integer variable each time?  In other words, the read timestamp uses the same amount of resources as the reading of the entire variable?

  With really simple code, assuming that the cluster "Data" is big enough, made...

• How to display a hidden shortcut that is pinned to the Start Menu?

  HIDDEN PIN TO THE MENU SHORTCUT START

  How to display a hidden shortcut that is pinned to the Start Menu? This problem occurs very simply but does not quite simply. I've pinned a shortcut to the Start Menu before you uncheck the hidden attribute (knew I had) causing the shortcut to be recorded without being visible. When I tried to pin it again I was alerted to his presence by the fact that the second pinning made an extension of title (2). When I tried to change the title, I received the message that a link of this title was already present. I don't want to stay as a situation lasting this is why I need instructions on how to change it. I could just change the title of the second pinning something close but different but then I would have two shortcuts to the same program pinned on my Start Menu, without being able to be removed. I just * because if I can tell. I could uninstall the program and then run another program looking for broken shortcuts to 'fix' and then (I guess that means deletion when they can't be 'fixed') but I would like to avoid the extra steps for pedestrians to the advantage of learning a new technique of Windows if such jurisdiction exists. Could use this help as soon as POSSIBLE. Thank you.

• Using variables shared between the different versions of labview

  Hello

  I look at the use of variables shared between two different versions of LabVIEW. We have a 2 of the PXI system and a single PC. We are currently updating the code on the PXI system to 2014, but the PC still work 8.2.1. We now need a map of ARINC-429, which is executed only 2009 +, that is why we are to day. First tests show that shared variables do not communicate between the two. I think that the reason may be that the PXI running the version of variable motor 2014 shared, while the PC is running 8.2.1, but I don't know if it is precisely for this reason it does not work. Is there a way to communicate between two different versions of LabVIEW with shared Variables?

  Thank you!

  SOLUTION

  There are two key elements in the process of installing software that are essential for PXI to communicate with another version of LabVIEW: Legacy Server Support Variable and Variable Support of Legacy Protocol. The first, in charge of the Protocol, was automatically installed through the selection of the other ingredients (although I do not know which triggered its installation). The second has been nested in the Protocol, but was not selected automatically.

  

  

  The Protocol allows the PXI 2014 connect to shared variables hosted by devices 8.6 or an earlier versions, while the server allows before 2009 devices to communicate to shared variables hosted on PXI of 2014 (which was the initial problem)!

• How do you multiline text in a continuous form between the lines without scaling of the text?

  Help. How do you multiline text in a continuous form between the lines without scaling of the text?

  I tried to put each line of the form for amounts of specificity so that it ends at some point and does not change the text size to fit on the line but different key characters have different widths, so you do not get a length of the same line.

  I tried to remove the long text scrolling, but it changed nothing.

  I can create a text box great to fill out and have this scrolling of additional lines, but then I get too much information from people and I would need to clarify the lines behind the answer multi line text, or delete the lines...

  Is there a better solution?

  I usually just remove the lines and set the field "Does not scroll long text" so that all the text is visible. Including the lines is really only useful if the form may be printed and completed by hand, in which case you can use scripts as in this example is: http://acroscript.net/pdf/demos/multiLine_Demo1.pdf

  It works as expected in Acrobat/Reader, but not in Chrome and other PDF viewers who have little or no support for JavaScript. It uses scripts customized to validate on Focus and blur.

• How to change a global variable in a function?

  Hello

  I want to change a globalvariable in a function, as a first step I made in this way:

  class Global_output_class
  
  GlobalDim("Correlation_Status,fail_part,End_Exp")
  dim pouet
  
  Correlation_Status = 12
  Call Correlation()
  pouet = Correlation_Status
  
  Function Correlation()
    Dim Global_output_class_sub
    Set Global_output_class_sub = new Global_output_class
  
    Correlation_Status = 1
    fail_part = 2
    End_Exp = 3
  
    Global_output_class_sub.CorrelationStatus = Correlation_Status
    Global_output_class_sub.failpart = fail_part
    Global_output_class_sub.EndExp = End_Exp
    set Correlation = Global_output_class_sub
  End function
  

  In this case: correlation_status receives a value of 12, then I go to my correlationn() function where it became 1

  Then he comes out of the Sub-function and takes the previous value of the program (12) (I hate that)

  To solve the problem I did it this way:

  class Global_output_class
  public CorrelationStatus
  public failpart
  public EndExp
  end class 
  
  GlobalDim("Correlation_Status,fail_part,End_Exp")
  
  Correlation_Status = 12
  Set Global_Output = Correlation()
  Correlation_Status = Global_Output.CorrelationStatus
  fail_part = Global_Output.failpart
  End_Exp = Global_Output.EndExp
  pouet = Correlation_Status
  
  Function Correlation()
    Dim Global_output_class_sub
    Set Global_output_class_sub = new Global_output_class
  
    Correlation_Status = 1
    fail_part = 2
    End_Exp = 3
  
    Global_output_class_sub.CorrelationStatus = Correlation_Status
    Global_output_class_sub.failpart = fail_part
    Global_output_class_sub.EndExp = End_Exp
    set Correlation = Global_output_class_sub
  End function
  

  This way my global value are copied in themselves after leaving the subprogramme

  I had a lot of variables, is there an easier way for the global variable in a function of change keep the value after you leave the service?

  Thanks for the help,

  Fred

  Hi Fred,.

  It is possible to use a global variable defined, but the best way is to use a function call (or procedure call) with parameters. Please first find the right solution for a function call with parameter and the suboptimal way with a comprehensive valiable:

  dim oParameter
  set oParameter = new cGlobal_output_class
  
  oParameter.Correlation_Status = 12
  
  msgbox "Correlation_Status before Call Correlation: " & oParameter.Correlation_Status
  Call Correlation(oParameter)
  msgbox "Correlation_Status after Call Correlation: " & oParameter.Correlation_Status
  
  '-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Function Correlation(oPara)
    msgbox "Correlation_Status in the FUNCTION before change: " & oPara.Correlation_Status
    oPara.Correlation_Status = 1
    oPara.fail_part = 2
    oPara.End_Exp = 3
    msgbox "Correlation_Status in the FUNCTION after change: " & oPara.Correlation_Status
  End function
  
  '-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  class cGlobal_output_class
    dim Correlation_Status,fail_part,End_Exp
  end class
  

  call GlobalDim("oPouet")
  
  dim oPouet
  set oPouet = new cGlobal_output_class
  
  oPouet.Correlation_Status = 12
  
  msgbox "Correlation_Status before Call Correlation: " & oPouet.Correlation_Status
  Call Correlation()
  msgbox "Correlation_Status before Call Correlation: " & oPouet.Correlation_Status
  
  '-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Function Correlation()
    msgbox "Correlation_Status in the FUNCTION before change: " & oPouet.Correlation_Status
    oPouet.Correlation_Status = 1
    oPouet.fail_part = 2
    oPouet.End_Exp = 3
    msgbox "Correlation_Status in the FUNCTION after change: " & oPouet.Correlation_Status
  End function
  
  '-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  class cGlobal_output_class
    dim Correlation_Status,fail_part,End_Exp
  end class

• How can I make the text box caption to display a text variable that is longer than the length?

  Hi all, I would like to do this: make a text caption to display a variable that contains a paragraph of text that the user has typed as soon as possible.

  I created the maximum length of the variable only 1000 and I am able to partially displayed variable in the text caption - only at the end of the first line of caption text.

  ICan someone tell me how to configure the text caption so that it can encapsulate texts? I can't find it in the properties panel.

  Thank you very much.

  No need to shout, even if I'm not native English, I understood your question very well, and this can be done with the enhanced TextArea widget as I mentioned. Here is a screenshot:

  

  Workflow:

  • Create a user variable, I scored it
  • Insert twice the widget with variable TextArea (Jim Leichliter, CaptivatePro), on the screen, these are the two rectangles on the bottom red and blue
  • Configure the first Widget to be associated with v_text and show this variable by inserting a default $$ v_text$ $
  • Configure the second Widget to display this variable by inserting returns a default $$ v_text$ $
  • You will need a button to refresh, so that the text appears in the second widget. Here I used the button, and then assigned to the action "Jump to slide" with the same number of slide so that the playback head rewound to the beginning of the slide
    
  • The text in the second widget shows; as you can see, it can be formatted as you wish.

  If you want to display the text in another slide, no need to make the action update, it automatically displays when you get to this slide.

  It is not a text caption that is displayed, but the widget. Is this a problem?

• How to change a global variable of b form to form.

  Oracle forms builder 10.1.2.0.2 version
  version 10.1.2.0.2, Oracle database
  
  I try to pass a global variable of the form b to form one; I have an error frm-40815
  does not define a global variable in a form file.
  without doubt, I missed something. could you tell me what I missed?
  
  Here is my sample code;

  form a
  in when new forms instance trigger;
  :myblock.getvalue := :global.p_ck;
  .....
  
  forms b
  in when button pressed;
  call_form('a');
  :global.p_ck := :myblock2.checked;

  I assume that null value passed.
  you have an idea?

  If this previous error is resolved means that now form works well. Now, if there is then no value. So I think that the domain that you assign is not having any value for the test, you can use like this...

  :global.p_ck := NVL(:myblock2.checked,'Blank');
  call_form('a');

• Session variable: How do you know where all that is used in the repository?

  Hi all
  
  We have a requirement where we need to convert a few session variables in variables to repository. For this we need to know where everything is this used in the repository and webcat session variable (including all logical columns use, which all guests use etc.). We tried the utility application, but that did not help. Is there another way to know that? You will really appreciate the pointers on your side.
  
  
  Thanks in anticipation,

  Hello

  To search for variables used in,

  RPD: Open the RPD-> go to the Tools Menu-> select 'Utilities'-> 'Documentation repository '. This will generate a CSV with associations

  WebCAT: Open the using webcat catalogue Manager-> Tools Menu-> create report - select the desired columns (column Xml include)-> open the rpeort in excel find-> 'Variable' of what you can find the different variables used in the catalogue.
