• Structure of the event in a state machine

  Hi all

  I have a state machine with a sort of stand-by, where a user can select the next button state. I tried using a structure of the event with changing the values to select the next case, but when the state machine is in a specific case and the button of another State on the blocks of all things. I've attached an example, the lights simply stating that you are in the State.

  Thx for your time,

  Edit: actually, I miss-clicked

  1. you have not need a while loop around the structure of your event.  With no wired time-out, you will never get a timeout event.

  2. your button events are set to 'Lock Front Panel until end of the event'.  Uncheck the box which.

• How to use a structure of the event in a Subvi

  I am using a structure of the event within a Subvi.  The Subvi has a table constructor that built tables and the structure of the event is used so that when the program runs, it allows you to change the elements of the array.  It works, but when I apply within a Subvi, it does not work properly.  This goes into a Subvi, because it will be part of a much larger progrram, so it must be modular.

  If you are using a structure of the event, it is not a Subvi.  If you worry about modularity, you should not use the structure of the event.

  You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of modularity.  An event structure must be placed in a while loop.  If you have a while loop in a Subvi, you have transferred control of your program to the Subvi.  You are not at this stage modular.  Your higher level GUI has no control.  You would have to create a stupid system of variables to pass data down to the loop to stop the loop and return to your main VI.  This is not a good design decision.

  Instead of searching for a way to make something broken, you should spend effort trying to understand what you really want to accomplish.  You should also spend some time to learn how to work the event structures.

  This application is small at the moment and it is already on the way to the unreadable.  It's a terrible thing to do for you.  Break these habits now.  variables are only when absolutely necessary.  Using subVIs to accomplish individual tasks, do not run the entire application.  With the structures of the event, use a value of stop button change event for will not be held hostage to the time-out.  If your variable is '2' in it, you're doing something wrong.  It has to be something different between set points, put it in the name.  If you want to make the subVIs, create an icon.

  But first and foremost, invest time in understanding dataflow

• How do I step manually in code that uses a structure of the event, when I want to select a particular event?

  I use an architecture of producer/consumer for an application with a structure of the event in the upper loop. Events are triggered by the user from the control panel using Boolean switches that are "change when you press on" and "release switch. My question is how can I manually step through the code using various events? It doesn't matter what I'm still not in the same event.

  Thank you.

  You can view the code? Is what event still enter? I did have problems step by step in code that uses a structure of the event. You must be patient, but because the application is slowed down a bit and it can take a while to get into the case of the specific event depending on what events you deal. Usually, I place a breakpoint in the case I am interested and run the application as usual. Once I hit the breakpoint is when I turn on highlighting of execution.

• can I use a structure of the event in another structure of the event

  Hello

  Can use a structure of the event in another structure of the event?

  Thank you

  I would put your waveforms in the registers at offset.  You can then use your structure for the main event to trigger on the Show 1... the value change events and process the data, however you need from there.

• Can I use Ctlref in a structure of the event with a mouse to an event?

  I have a large number of controls on a front panel. I use a structure of the event that triggers the movement of a given motor when you press the corresponding button. However, I would like to avoid creating events for identical most of N, so I relied on the use of a mouse down on the front panel event, then retrieve the reference command using the Ctlref node (with gives 'Reference to the control on which the event occurred', according to manual labview) and analyze an array of references to know which engine is supposed to move. However, it seems that this node is not (contrary to what the manual said).

  I found other ways to do what I need (I thought using a table containing details of my controls and the coords in the structure of the event node), but I wanted to know why I can't find this node (that is displayed for the event "value change" for example). I'm using Labview 2013.

  No luck for you. Mouse down on the Panel does not have the refnum control because it does not work on a control. Mouse down on a control has it, and since you can configure the mouse down events on multiple controls in the same case of event, it also provides a refnum of control so that you can still use the order in question.

  This is probably also the question that Jeff might have seen. When you set up multiple events for the same frame that LabVIEW displays only the terminal event that are present in all of these events. Terminals that do not exist in at least a specific event of the multiple events for this image are more selectable.

• 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!

• How to manage the structure of the event with two loops

  I have a question about the structure of the user event with 2 buttons?

  key 1: START LOGGING DATA

  key 2: STOP LOGGING DATA

  How do I control my

  structure of the event so that it will work? because now that the loop is save data... I can't stop the loop, when I clicked on buttons.

  the problem with moving it is that I don't have control of the DATA RECORD STARTING?

  Of course, you do.  When you get your press conference button, you say your state machine to move to the State of logging.  You must also make sure that you return to visit the State to wait for the event to check out the events of the stop button.

• How to stop the While loop in the Structure of the event with the same button?

  

  Hello

  I have a problem. I want to use a single control to activate an event in a structure of the event and the same control to end a while loop in this case.

  It is possible to use 2 controls to do this, but I need to be alone.

  Thank you

  You should NEVER place while loops inside the case of the event, and it is never necessary to do. Think about it: all you have to do is spin the code. You can easily use the outside while loop for everything. Simply place the code of the loop internal (without the inner loop) inside the case of delay and manipulate the time-out period between a pending finished and the infinite (-1), depending on the State of the Boolean value.

• Instead of using the structure of the event with the producer consumer?

  I used the architecture of producer-consumer in the past to control a state machine with the structures of the event.  I'm working now with the basic version of LV that does not include the structure of the event.  Can anyone recommend alternatives to the use of the same architecture in this case?  Thank you, David

  Before the introduction of the structure of the event, the only option was the election.  Control terminals are in a time loop (the producer) with shift registers and a wait, usually about 100ms.  At each iteration of the loop, the control's current value is compared to the previous value.  If it has changed, and then take appropriate action.  Andrey suggested, queues are a good way to pass information between the loops.

  It works for the equivalent of the value change events.  Things like mouse to top or filter events were much more difficult or not possible.

• by using a structure of the event to restore a Boolean control with change in value for the menu ring

  I'm trying to get two Boolean buttons to reset when the value of a ring menu.  For this I use a structure of event defined to execute with a ring value change.  However I have another code that should be run while the structure of the event expected to change value.  I place my structure of the event inside the while loop buttons reset as expected but my other code is not run (except when the value of change). If I place it outside the loop the rest of functions code as expected, but the buttons do not reset.  Any help you offer is much appreciated.

• reset the timer using a structure of the event

  I wrote a simple code to count the second and the timer can be reset if I press the button "reset".

  It works; However, there are two problems,

  1. when I run the program, the timer takes 1 second to start

  2 when I press the reset button, the timer also takes a second to answer

  I think it's the 1000ms that is connected to the left corner of the structure of the event. Is there a better way to overcome this problem? (the timer starts and resets immediately

  When I launch the program and press the "reset" button)

  Thank you!!

  Dear ivy037

  You can make the time outside the structure of the event as in the attached code.  I would like to know if this is satisfactory.

  Thank you

• Programmatically trigger a structure of the event with the value (signaling) is not responding

  Hey, in my attached program I check if the two steps of translation are in a specific position. If Yes, I want my code to execute a sequence of movements. If this isn't the case, I'm asking the user if he wants contributed from this position anyway. It has three options: Yes, go to load (the specific position) and cancel. If he hits Yes, I am using a property of signal value which should update the controls Boolean true, allowing the sequence. Cancellation and work "to load" perfectly fine, but 'Yes' does not work. I think I need a structure of the event to ahndle the value of the Boolean control 'x' change event, however, the addition of this structure of the event for some reason any even do not allow me to click on the Start button of the procedure.
  Thanks for any help in advance.

  Really, you should look into using a State Machine.  You should have really not what happens inside a structure of the event.

  In addition, I would like to use a shift register to store this value instead of a front panel control.
