• 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.

• Using the 'current default values do' as a control on the front panel

  Hello

  I'm building a VI that uses a lot of digital controls. I want to use "do current default values" as a control Boolean on the front panel for the user.

  Is it possible to implement when the program is running? What would be an alternative, if this was not possible?

  Thank you

• Best way to reset all controls on the front panel except one?

  Hello world

  I have an interesting problem, whereby I need to run successive tests using a test station which has several indicators on the front panel. At the end of each test, I need to reset all to default values, with the exception of a control (Test ID) who needs to keep his information - its value is used in an initialization status for test to ask for information from a database, so it can not be reset with the rest controls.

  I post all orders at a time using a reference ThisVI and VI Default Vals.Reinit All method, but this will obviously reset my control values (Test ID) as well. Any suggestions on how to keep properly or may store this information control while resetting all others. I can reset individually others but there is a little and more can be added as this system is developed.

  I don't really know what is the right way to proceed, and Labview has maybe one trick in his bag that I know to work around this problem.

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions,

  Alex

  Flank the node invoke with two nodes in the value property of the control to maintain the value. To the left we read as well as a right and the wires together. Connect three nodes with a thread of error to establish the order of execution.

  First reading place value on the wire, which is then written after the values have been reset to the default value.

  

• 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...

• Controls on the front panel does not work

  In the attached vi (I've stripped down to simplify things), I have a problem with the controls on the front panel does not when you click on the control to acquire it. It of probably something obvious but got me to loss.

  Thank you

  It is probably because you are in the State to acquire until you're done absorbing.  Meanwhile, none of your other events can run.  You have events to acquire: let the mouse.  There is a setting for "Panel before locking up the end of the occurrence of the event.  Given that the event cannot process until your State acquisition is completed, the façade will be locked.

  I would recommend another loop for the acquisition of your data.

• Binding the controls on the front panel programmatically

  It seems that Programmatic binding the controls on the front panel do not work when they are located in a tab control.

  Is this a known problem in LV 8.6?

  If the control of the façade is already bound to a URL of PSP you can link to another URL using DataSocket URL property during execution of the VI.

  

  If the front panel control is not bound to a URL of PSP, then you cannot attach it to the URL of the PSP when the VI is on. You can use the method AttachDataSocket of VI to change the link while the original VI is stopped (in edit mode).

  

• Can I programmatically change the default property to create for all elements of the front panel?

  Can I programmatically change the default property to create for all elements of the front panel?

  I need to make the logout button, when click on, takes care of all the default values of my fron Panel.

  There is no way to programmatically call the functionality of an editor 'Use default' or 'Load Default'. To do it yourself, you will need to write your default values for each control explicitly in the diagram, when the user press the logout button.

• How to add a record button on the front panel to save waveform data

  Hi, I'm new kind of LabVIEW and I worked on a code for an agilent oscilloscope communicate via GPIB and so far it works well on the collection of these two analog channels one by one, "Not UNLIMITED" but it does the trick (vpp, Vrms, frequency, etc.).  I've added the feature to add data to a .csv file waveform (problem: opens a dialog box until the user gathers all the data.) Solution: I want the user to save the. File CSV whenever he wants to use later on the front panel). I've added another feature to get a snapshot of the curve waveform (problem: opens a dialog box.) Solution: I want the user to save the JPEG file, whenever he wants to take a snapshot ("take snapshot" button on the front panel)).  I work with the agilent hp54645d driver. I have attached my code, if someone can tell me please how do I do this (maybe cabling and structures are solutions do not know). Thank you in advance.

  I would recommend adding a case structure just around the two record VI and a button to check the condition of the structure of each case. If you want a button to control both save functions you can put the two record functions in the same structure of business controlled by a single button. You are right in saying that the loop will cause your code runs until the stop button is pressed or until the stop condition is met. If you are wanting the while loop to stop once the recorded information you can use the button that you use to control structures case to also stop the while loop. I hope this information helps.

• How to scroll through the front panel when running

  Hello

  I'm using LabVIEW 8.5. I want to scroll the front panel automatically according to the moving object. I enclose a vi for example, in which I move the image, but if it is out of range of screen I have to scroll manually horizontal scroll bar to see the position of the image, it is possible that it automatically scrolls according to my position of the object.

  -Thanks in advance

  Hi, Mary,

  Well, now I see what you wanted. From my point of view using front panel scrolling for this animation is wrong way (if not I do not know your final objectives).

  I would recommend that you use the image for this control. Here the work by hand a little more, but you will get better results and will not scroll to your façade.

  For example, "quick and dirty" implemented:

• Security on the front panel does not work

  Hello

  I have a problem and a question:

  Problem: I created some controls on the front panel and some groups which they are responsible. Administrators can see and do everything, the operator cannot see some of them. If I build exe it works on development PC but if I copy them to another PC, it does not. It does not show these elements of façade. Areas are the same, SCADA, only the names of PC are different. The two computers are not in the same network. I create local domains and users on two computers through domain account manager. What could be the problem?

  Question: How can I create an access control list (ACL) and assign them to the elements of façade programmaticaly? What is the syntax? I have found no examples of code.

  Thank you.

  I found the solution. Maybe someone also needs:

  You must copy the folder C:\Program Files (x 86) \National Instruments\Shared\Domain development pc to other PC, in which you want to have the same field and same users. It does not have to generate the new domain with exactly the same name on another pc and generate new users. You must copy the whole directory of your pc to the other pc. It works now.

• Effectively save the front panel settings

  Hello.  Just a quick question: is there a way to effectively interrogate all the settings on the front panel and save them in a file to be loaded later?  I know that this is possible by making the keys for each, but my front panel has a huge 38 parameters that need to be saved.  Using the methods I found online and elsewhere in this forum, save a large number of parameters is possible, but would be very tedious.  I was wondering if there was a more efficient way, as a command to mark all present controls and group them into an easy to manipulate the cluster.

• pause button on the front panel

  Hello.

  I try to run synchronous, continuous analog conversion of 2 cards of PXI-6259, and capture the State of the several digital at the same time.  I managed to get everything is configured and working properly, however I have a problem if the user presses the button "pause" on the front panel.

  From what I can tell, acquisitions of data will continue to run in the background (I'm using a task DAQmx and stop was never called).  For my analog inputs, this is not a problem.  However, the digital inputs always generate a ' 200010 - on-board memory overflow error. Due to the limitations of system and/or the bandwidth of the bus, the driver could not read data the device enough fast to follow the flow of the unit. »

  Is it possible to register for an event of user interface that is generated when the user presses the button "pause", so that I can stop the acquisitoin of data before the error occurs?

  Thanks in advance,

  -Rich

  I thought to add my own button "pause" / control, but my users have become accustomed to hitting the pause on the front panel button, and it will be difficult to get them to change.  I guess that the error would remind them :-)

  Well, that's easy to fix - change the appearance of window properties if the toolbar is not visible, while the code runs, and there will be a pause button for your users to click.

  Many of our applications have a function somewhat like this.  My colleague implementation in a very simple way: he put the graphical indicator within a box structure.  Connect a Boolean control "pause" to the structure of the case, and that's it.  Data acquisition runs constantly but will only update the chart when the pause button is false.  This approach might work for you?
