How to initialize rings in an array of Clusters?

I have a control that has a picture of a cluster consisting of a ring, a string and a Boolean control.     Each index in the array has an associated ring, I want to initialize at startup.

For example, index 0 lists options for the #1 variable, index 1 lists the options associated with the second variable... and so on.    A code base that is constantly crashing for the second type mismatch "to more specific class" is attached.    This basic structure is inspired by other posted solutions.

Any ideas?

You have a loop that tries to mount each control of the cluster of a ring. Try to get a control over the chain to a ring will generate an error, which is what you see. You should only be casting the first element of the array (assuming that the first item is the ring).

That said, what you are trying to do will not work. You cannot set different strings for the ring for items in a different table. Elements of an array can vary in value. They cannot vary based on properties, and the list of channels would be a property. Therefore, all the rings would have the same list of choices. You can set them to be different.

I don't know what's your ultimate goal in terms of interface user, but you will need to think of a different way to do it. Is this table of limited length? If so, then maybe you can use a cluster group. Or maybe you can use a separate control to select the game to watch and update you a chain and a ring unique front panel of your underlying data.

  • Change the properties of a cluster element inside an array of clusters

    Hi all

    I have a table of cluster that has the shape of a line with different elements of the screen.

    A list or a tree would not have made it, so I had to use a cluster and make a.

    The problem is I want to change not only the text but also the color of the text.

    But it changes the property in all groups in the table, not just the one I need.

    Some people have the same problem:

    Obviously, even if in a table/list or a tree, you can change the property of an individual

    cells (font, color), you can't do it in a cluster network, by a kind of magic.

    the property of an element of the cluster (font, color) are all connected together, so made

    the use of a table without value.

    A possible hack is available using masking of control, a visible setting and the

    other invisble, exchanging their position, whatever. This is a hack you have to perform,

    Therefore, add another code to maintain.

    Is that still the case, or is it now a more formal way to manage the individual cluster

    Properties, not only its data? After all it is a common example of a real life which should

    managed by Labview. In my opinion.

    Altenbach says:

    One of the elements could be an indicator of 2D about the same size image. You can create text in any color using the features of the image.

    Here's what I had in mind. Seems to work very well (I would refine the border picture fonts, etc., but this should help you get started).

    How to fill a control ring with chains [] array?

    It must be karma. (Try really bad karma because I couldn't post this question in my original)

    I must have been a Really bad guy in a previous life...  It's not like I'm bad in this one...

    So... what I want to do this time around?  Something that I thought would be easy... Well... it's a long story...  I had a simple solution, but the client wants something else.  -sigh-

    Here is what they want...  They want a control that allows for multiple selections to a control of the ring (or a control that allows a drop down selection menu).  Bites are filled at run time because it is based on 10 000 other precedents of things this particular choice.  So it must be dynamic.

    The snippet of code & images below show what I'm doing a little...

    The bottom image shows on the right bites which is filled in the control of the ring.  Since the number of items / items changes, I didn't have a bunch of controls stacked on another.  In addition, I have to deal with an unknown quantity of selections.

    Does anyone have a solution that can be recommended?  If so, can you share the solution / idea?

    Thank you

    I have posted a code that does something similar here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/array-of-cluster/m-p/1822451#M625032

    It uses a table hint and individual controls that are moved on top of the table and populated as needed.  This approach might work for you?  You would need a two-column table and only control ring, which you would fill properly whenever the currently active cell changes.

  • How to change the items in a drop-down list box that is part of an array of clusters

    Hello

    In the attached vi, I have an array of clusters and each cluster contains two drop-down list boxes. How can I edit the items in the drop-down list box 1 for all elements in the array? (All elements of list box 1 has the same elements.)

    By way of illustration, I have also included the case of trivila, for example, edit the items in a separate drop-down list box that is is not part of an array of clusters (combo box 3). Please notify. Thank you.

    I'm running problems with initialization of a typedef that contains an array of clusters. The attached example updates the Clusters and displays the new table.

    It works great but I would rather to pre-allocate memory the entire table.

  • Reference to the array of Clusters with an array element

    Hello

    I have an array of clusters of CONTROL (qualifying as "upper-tier cluster table") with one of the items is an array of cluster cluster (see attached).

    I intend to "reference" of this cluster of high level at different screws (as add item VI, insert item VI, delete the item VI etc.) and access (add/edit delete) the elements of this array.

    In my code, how I cataloged the array element (cluster) on the cluster internal (as shown on the figure)?

    I use LV RT on PXI.

    Hello smercurio_fc,

    Thank you for your example! Just a question: actually, with shift registers, is an example of creating a local copy of the full range? Even if the value of the lowest level cluster is changed, is the complete table is updated at the end (registry value to offset the full picture at the right end is updated using the reference node and property)? This VI will be slow when the size of the array becomes great?

    Comment of nicely.

  • Best way to transfer strings, arrays and clusters

    Hi, I just want to know the best way to transfer strings, arrays and clusters between a PC and a computer-RT (compactRIO) if I want to use them in deterministic loops:

    For a string should I use a published network shared variable flow or network?

    For an array of doubles should I flatten the array in a string and the string of transfer? or should I send it as a picture?

    The same for clusters, should I flatten the cluster or the transfer as a cluster?

    Thank you!

    Transfers on the network are not deterministic.  You ask how to use the data in a deterministic way, once it arrives on the RT system.  Usually, you would create a separate loop, not critics of time to deal with network communications.  The data arrives it is copied in real-time-safe structures such as RT-FIFO to put at the disposal of the evanescent loop.

    I can't give you specific advice on network variables and network flows; Finally, I did this kind of transfer over TCP, until these other options were available.

  • Drag and drop the element of the array of Clusters

    I have a project that includes an array of 'tests', each of which is a cluster that contains an array of 'numbers', a matching the regular expression string and an array of "tasks" (all of them, is in turn, a group of elements).

    It is:

    • Tests (table of):
      • Cluster:
        • Reference numbers (an array of strings)
        • Regex (string)
        • Tasks (table of):
          • Cluster:
            • Task type
            • Basic channel,
            • Measuring channel
            • Other channels

    I wish I could drag and drop to rearrange the task table in an individual event.  (It is a nice-to-have rather than a urgent request - more for my own learning that no matter what).  For now, I've implemented "Move up" and "Move down" buttons

    Examples are fine for a single cluster that includes a table or an array of objects.  As soon as we have an array of clusters, it is difficult to access individual items within a specific cluster.

    Who that it be completed can drag and drop into such a facility?

    Curiously,.

    Geoff

    Hello GeoffF,

    It's certainly doable and you can even use the standard start drag and drop methods/events, the trickiest part is to determine the table of the elements that are selected on the mouse towards the top/mouse downwards and the swap of manual handling.  Fortunately, there are a few decent examples of how do this out there already, I suggest you take a look at this one:

    Example of community: determine the Index of the clicked element Array in LabVIEW

    https://decibel.NI.com/content/docs/doc-22434

    That should give you the selected table indexes, and then all you have to do is to move the elements around around the drop event.  I have attached a very basic demonstrative example that uses this code I just linked (you need to download that as well) and the events referred to swap two elements of the array.   The attached code is just thrown together, you'll want to design something more robust and scalable to any sort of actual use.

    Kind regards

  • Error during transfer of an array of Clusters for LabView

    Hello

    I'm new in LabView and I hope that this mistake has an easy solution.

    I built a VI to check the validity of a label.  The Vi receives an array of clusters.  The cluster has 3 strings.

    I built a Variable with an exact same structure in TestStand.

    I get the following error:

    Error, parameter 'Sn Range Array': array elements "FileGlobals.SN_Ranges" do not correspond to the LabVIEW or cluster cluster is disabled in the definition of the array element type. [Error code:-17313, could not accept the parameter passed.]

    Is attached a sequence with a single step.  and vi.  (the location of the vi must be re assigned to TestStand).

    Can anyone help solve this error?

  • Mouseover image control does not appear when it is contained in an array of clusters.

    I've been using Boolean system (with some customization) to impement mouseover animations.  For example (default values Boolean system):

    Mouseover feedback works well with my UI, and most of the time everything is going great.

    However, the mouseover image does not load if the Boolean value is contained in an array of clusters (a single cluster with inside Boolean or an array of Boolean works as expected):

    The animation of the passage of the mouse works for a single array element in the case above (the one that was clicked more recently), but this behavior is not desirable and it seems buggy if I had to leave this on my UI such what.

    So I guess I am wondering if anyone has encountered this or has no suggested work around?  The few that I thought to date (maintain a separate table for any set of Boolean control systems, verify the details myself on the mouse move event and try to update the appropriate element of the array, avoid using animations mouseover devoted entirely to this set of commands) are not all that desirable.  Although this issue could be considered in cosmetics, the user interface is very important for me because this code is that something shipped to customers.

    It's LV 2011 either incidentally, so if by chance the behavior in 2012 is just let me know (this could only) is a sufficient to convert the project to the top.  If there is a DRIVE ID for this behavior and an employee OR want to share I would also appreciate that.

    Best regards

    Hi John,.

    Thanks for the obvious example of this behavior. I was able to reproduce this problem in LabVIEW 2010 SP1 2011 and 2012. I couldn't find a CAR that has mentioned this unexpected behavior, so I went ahead and filed one myself. For your reference, the number of CAR is 36785, and I think I've included everything you mentioned.

  • How re - initialize an array with the new values at run time?

    Hello

    In this application of particluar I want to change the value of a particular index (Ex: 4th move in a 1 d table) and store the changed value (Inremented) in the same index position.

    I wrote a program, can someone tell what I am doing wrong?

    LabVIEW version: 8.6

    Screenshot kindly updated instead of .vi

    Two things.

    First of all:

    You must initialize the table (via the feedback loop).

    Click with the right button on the wire of the array and create constant.  Move the index of item 99.  Initialize element 0.  This thread up to the lower part of the feedback node.

    Second:

    You use an Insert in the table VI, but it's not describe what you try to do.  While he places an element in the position shown is also increases the size of the table.

    This change to a subset of table replace VI.

  • How can I get a ref to a ring in a cluster that lie in an array of clusters?

    I have a cluster (typdef to) with controls. Two controls is rings. I place the latter in a table. I then fill in the chart of the clusters with data. Can I get the ref to the rings in each cluster? I have to load individually, with strings [].

    Ok. Thank you all. This means that I have to give up the structure with a table. I have to have individual clusters, leave say clusters of 4-5, which shows post n to n + 4. Then only I can have the separate charge of rings.

    I did the programming much more, according to me, heavy, but I get it like I want to.
