List of controls and indicators

Hello

Maybe I forgot something very simple.

I am trying to clean my overloaded façade and edit it in different tabs. I have a lot of controls and indicators and property notes to make them visible or not. To make sure that I don't forget everything in the new façade, I would like to have a list of all the controls and indicators used in my application. A solution would be to create a new local go, select and write down the list complete, what is shown. Next would be to type all names in an excel sheet to a checklist that must be displayed where and when on the new front cover. Is there a better way, which is to export the list of Labview in a text file?

As... of the controls and indicators how?

With the help of the tabs is certainly a good idea to help organize your front panel, but if you use the tabs just so that you can have hundreds of controls and indicators on your front maybe there is something else you could do to improve your code similar to the use of several different types of controls (tables (, clusters, etc.).

But to directly answer your question, Yes, there is a way to get the list of all the controls on a panel like this:

hope this helps

  • 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.

  • Controls and indicators combined in the same Bay clusters

    Hi all.

    In the attached picture you can see an indicator (or perhaps, control) that I want to use with the following behavior:

    -C' is an array of clusters. Each cluster has two Boolean, a string and a path (a checkbox and a button "sequence Asignar").

    -I want the first two components as indicators (the chain and the path). I mean, they contain data that it is introduced previously in the application, and I want these indicators only to show that information.

    -I want to have a button ("sequence Asignar") associated with each table group. When I push the button, I want to perform an action (different for each cluster of the table), the button must be a control.

    -Box has a behavior similar as the button.

    I know there is no way to combine the controls and indicators in the same cluster or matrix. I tried also with local variables and methods of 'value', but I can't solve my problem.

    Please, any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Here's a trivially simple example how you would rewrite some false indicators based on changes in the controls.

  • Problem: controls and indicators not updated when to open the front panel

    Hello

    I have a strange problem when I progamatically open the façade of a subvi: for some sub-vis controls and indicators are correctly updated while others are not (ie the controls display the outdated values).

    Here, I have created an example that illustrates this. 2 sub-vis are * exactly * the same thing, but only a day watch control when I open it (with the sub - vi previously closed of course).

    How is that possible?

    What should I do to have the controls implemented to date to the last value of the * last call * when I opened the sub - vi?


  • FPGA controls and indicators appearing is not in the node IO FPGA.

    I don't know there is something simple, that I do not. I use the pure mode of FPGA on my sbRIO. I have several controls and indicators that I added to the FPGA code since the last compilation. I compiled the code and ran it again once or twice. However, the new controls and indicators do not appear as options in the FPGA to e/s nodes on the side of the RT. What is missing?

    Thank you!

    Hi Adrien,.

    How you bind the host RT code to FPGA code?  It seems to me that you are accidentally linked to an earlier version of your FPGA code that does not include new controls/indicators that you are looking for.  Check the Open FPGA VI reference VI in RT to see if you're related to the FPGA VI, the right Specification to buildor latest Bitfile (xxxx.lvbitx).

    If you link to the VI or the specification of the Build that you consistantly use to compile, you won't have to worry of re - bind your RT and FPGA VI after each compilation.  If you bind to the bitfile directly, you will need to update your RT references after each compilation at the last bitfile.

  • best way to control a large number of controls and indicators

    IM building a façade with 46 orders and lights, all of type boolean.

    the logic is control > send order series > receive > indicator set. I consider part of my façade (with 2 sets of control and indicator) and my block diagram.

    I have to be able to control programmatically and through the front panel individually the status and indicators, or all at once (for example to reset the both). This should be done from the tab they are and another.

    thought property nodes but still I would have 46 + 46 of them. same for local variables.

    y at - there I way to refer to a control/indicator by its label (string) and change its value?

    wouldn't be easier just to create two Boolean tables which maintain their Boolean value?

    Please advise me on what options I have. I'm new to labview.

    Thanks in advance.


  • With regard to the values in controls and indicators

    I entered a value in a control of channel 1. According to our requirements, this value is fixed. I entered the value and I closed the application and I opened the app, the next day. But there is no value I entered the control of the chain. The value must be perceived by the user. How can I do this in LabView? Thanks in advance best regards Christophe

    After you enter the value you want, right-click on the control and select "... current value default data operation. Save the VI.

  • Location of the controls and indicators on the pallets

    Is it possible to know the location of control and indicator on the pallets of a pre-designed vi?

    THX

    If you ask "Given control over the façade of an existing VI, how to find the range, in which it is originally found?"

    There is no direct way.

    If the controls have been customized, then there is no palette.

  • State machine, controls, and indicators

    Hey everybody,

    I'm working on the conversion of a VI to use a state machine architecture. In other words, there are several buttons that trigger States through a structure of the event in the standby mode. Two States need write values in the same set of indicators, but the rest should be left alone. Several States also contain a Subvi, which takes a cluster entry. The cluster is composed of about 10 digital/boolean controls. I wonder what is the best way to deal with these two problems. I could use local variables or references, but that seems to be discouraged for most cases. I do not have access to the VI himself at the present time, but it might send more later if necessary.

    You could go with the local population, in this case it should be ok, or have an update-state indicator.

    I have probably to take the easy road and go with local to a simple state machine.

  • try to fill in a number field with the help of a drop-down list box control and a text box

    That's what I work with so far.  The lines of code are quite simple, but (as I expand this to its full size of accounting for all combinations of variables) the result field seems suffocating and will not auto-update to change the variables in the form. Var v comes from a drop down menu, var n is a numeric field.

    var v = this.getField("TextOptions").value;

    var n = this.getField("Number").value;

    If (v == "TextOptionA") if (n == '1') event.value = "2";

    else if (v == "TextOptionA") if (n == '2') event.value = "3";

    else if (v == "TextOptionA") if (n == '3') event.value = "3";

    else if (v == "TextOptionA") if (n == '4') event.value = "4";

    else if (v == "TextOptionA") if (n == '5') event.value = "4";

    else if (v == "TextOptionB") if (n == '1') event.value = "0";

    else if (v == "TextOptionB") if (n == '2') event.value = "0";

    else if (v == "TextOptionB") if (n == '3') event.value = "1";

    else if (v == "TextOptionB") if (n == '4') event.value = "1";

    else if (v == "TextOptionB") if (n == '5') event.value = "1";

    else if (v == "TextOptionC") if (n == '1') event.value = "2";

    else if (v == "TextOptionC") if (n == '2') event.value = "3";

    else if (v == "TextOptionC") if (n == '3') event.value = "3";

    else if (v == "TextOptionC") if (n == '4') event.value = "4";

    else if (v == "TextOptionC") if (n == '5') event.value = "4";

    else event.value = "";

    In addition, TextOptionA, C, E, G and I will produce the event.value even, given the same variable n.  The same is true with TextOptionB, D, F and H.  Is it possible to compress the "TextOptionX" s that will produce the same event.value gave a value of n in one line?  Something along these lines (I know its bad, but it's the idea):

    var v = this.getField("TextOptions").value;

    var n = this.getField("Number").value;

    If (v == 'TextOptionA' or 'TextOptionC') if (n == '1') event.value = "2";

    else if (v == 'TextOptionA' or 'TextOptionC' or 'TextOptionE') if (n == '2') event.value = "3";

    else if (v == 'TextOptionA' or 'TextOptionC' or 'TextOptionE') if (n == '3') event.value = "3";

    else if (v == 'TextOptionA' or 'TextOptionC' or 'TextOptionE') if (n == '4') event.value = "4";

    else if (v == 'TextOptionA' or 'TextOptionC' or 'TextOptionE') if (n == '5') event.value = "4";

    else if (v == 'TextOptionB' or 'TextOptionD' or 'TextOptionF') if (n == '1') event.value = "0";

    else if (v == 'TextOptionB' or 'TextOptionD' or 'TextOptionF') if (n == '2') event.value = "0";

    else if (v == 'TextOptionB' or 'TextOptionD' or 'TextOptionF') if (n == '3') event.value = "1";

    else if (v == 'TextOptionB' or 'TextOptionD' or 'TextOptionF') if (n == '4') event.value = "1";

    else if (v == 'TextOptionB' or 'TextOptionD' or 'TextOptionF') if (n == '5') event.value = "1";

    else event.value = "";

    Something like that could be reduced to about 40 220 + lines of code.  Please help us on a mannequin of javascript.

    For the first part of the code, the problem might be that the value of the 'Number' field is a number, not a string (that you assume in your code).

    To solve that you can access the field valueAsString instead of the value property property.

    For the second part of the operator OR in JS code is ' | ', would therefore be the first if condition:

    If (v == "TextOptionA" | v == "TextOptionC")

    Note that the comparison of v must appear in both parts of the if statement, in its entirety.

  • Copy the TAB controls on the front and indicators Panel to another page of the tab

    LabVIEW v9.0f3 - it is a VI for two machine controls and indicators that are controlled by PLC.  Both machines are in different places that both use the same PLC.  I need to be able to copy and paste controls and indicators of the page of the TAB 1 TAB 2 page, moving the unit under test.  I would like to know the best way to move data from one computer to the other, switch to an existing TAB page.  I have attached the VI I have so far to do so.  Thanks for the help.

  • Control of first level VI by using controls Subvi indicators?

    I'm still learning LabVIEW, so apologies if this is pretty basic.

    I'm trying to declutter the façade of my main VI by moving some controls less frequently used in a Subvi. The idea is that when the user wants to set these controls:

    (1.) the user presses a button on the main VI to launched the Subvi front.

    (2.) the Subvi front opens and the user adjusts the values of controls Subvi.

    (3.) the user presses a button to close the Panel front of the Subvi.

    Ideally, the relationship between indicators of higher level and the Subvi of control must be the same when all the controls and indicators have been on the main VI - i.e. when the user plays with the controls in the Sub - VI the main VI must always be running and its indicators should respond to changes on the Subvi real-time controls.

    I guess it's possible, I'm not sure that eactly how to build this relationship between the main VI and the Subvi.

    I just need a little nudge in the right direction on this one, thanks!

    Mike

    You must create references to controls in your top level VI and pass them in the Subvi.  Then have the Subvi write property as the value nodes using these references.

  • How to hide a control and change a background image at the same TIME

    Hello

    I made a slideshow on LabView VI, who also monitors data in real time to a data logger.

    The program works like this: -.

    Start/Page 1:-bottom pane displays a nice screenshot. A set of indicators displays the data in real time. Switches to Page 2 after 20 seconds.

    Page 2:-background to an another screenshot. Hide indicators in real time and a set of three graphs appear, displaying historical data. Switches after 20 years.

    Page 3 etc:-hide charts and indicators, a 'slide show' appears by changing the history pane. Back to page 1 after the sequence.

    Everything works fine, except for one thing: I can't hide indicators and background to change at once, resulting in a clumsy "discrepancy" between the two.

    I did one VI example to illustrate this. Simply select two separate images to the façade, run the VI and toggle the Boolean control to see what I mean.

    Any idea how to get indicators and background of change at the same time?

    Thanks in advance,
