• Subvi with while loop + event structure works is not in multi tab VI

  Hi all

  I'm developing an interface for the control of a prober using Labview 2012, and I'm stuck with a question.

  First I provide you with a simplified version of my VI control interface and the sub - VI used to generate and manage the mappings of wafer.

  The VI is composed of several tabs: Prober initialization, manipulation of Wafer, Wafer map, status, error.

  The sub - VI can:

  1 / initialize the grid to display the map (Subvi Init grid not provided here)

  2 / coordinates XY for import a txt file (Subvi Wafer map Import)

  3 / view contact information and the index of the sector under the cursor

  4 / and what position die is double clicked and the Boolean 'Edit Wafer map' is true, then the user can change the State (color) of the matrix between die on platelets and selected Die

  My question:

  If I use the sub - VI by itself, it works fine. However, when I use it as a Subvi in the 'Wafer map' tab, the plan does not rise and I can use any features incorporated into the Subvi.

  I suspect that the while loop + structure of the event of sub - VI the bottleneck here.

  However I do not know which way to go, that's why I'd be happy to have some advice and help here.

  Thank you.

  The question arises because your hand loop 'for' cycles of 33 times.  In the loop of 32, appears your Subvi and execution is passed to your Subvi.  During this time your main VI expected Subvi in the end, she never does.  You could spend your Subvi out of the main loop of the program and run in a separate process, in order to pass data using queues, but you have to find a way to close the Subvi (i.e. a queue).  By moving the Subvi on the main process, it is independent and you can do what you want to do with the events and others.

• structure of the event + while loop

  Hello, I am trying to understand how to unite two while loops in attached VI for half a day

  The first loop creates a state machine solid which reacts on each key and runs one of the structure cases. (that part works very well)

  The second loop, always generates the random number, but it stops the generation during the time where one of the structure cases events are executed. (this is the part ticky)

  Any suggestions?

  If you want your random number to stop so that the user triggered events are running, you should be able to simplify your design a lot.

  It can be done with a loop using the case of timeout.

• ActiveX - Reg - led event reminder

  Hello

  I'm building a control for a Laser machine which based its controls in the ActiveX control technology. I had a program in c# that works, but I have because I wanted to change the settings and then connect it to another program Labview, I "translate".

  I start with a very simple operation:

  1. 'Start' ActiveX Server
  
  
  2. "load" a design for the laser.
  
  
  3. program of the "end".

  and then based on event (using the reg event reminder):

  If the "QueryStart" laser signal is activated by a switch, then "run" program.

  If the laser "starts", then light a led

  If laser 'ends', then light a led.

  I have problems to light a led by using the ref (LaserStartedLed) VI. I'm using as a model the Labview example: CWKnob to see a number from the button. But in this case, they use the numbers from the button, in my case are just Boolean, and I try to get data from common event.

  Can you help me with other ideas and corrections?

  Thanks in advance,

  
  

• 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.

  A very simple example (LV 8.0)

• Update an indicator of in while loop with event driven programs

  I'm trying to update a chart shared by several events within a Structure of the event. I would like a change in value of a button (NOPE or OK buttons in the attached example images) causes the structure of the event causes a switch between the various outputs for the chart. In the example attached, clicking the OK button will send the graph random matrices, while clicking on the button NOPE will send constant tables to the curve.

  As the process within the structure of the event is underway, I use a while loop within each of the different events in the event Structure. So there is a structure of the event, and each event have while loops in them which should update the chart outside the structure of the event (see attached images).

  This does not update the graph, the graph remains static instead, why is this? How can I configure it to work as I described above?

  In my view, a question is: How can I use the same stop button in both inside while loops. In the example images, I have two that are different, one for each of the different events.

  Thank you!

  
  

• While loops and event structures

  Is there a problem using more then one While loop with an internal structure of the event, in a single VI?

  In my (only a partially attached printscreen) VI there is more then 2 all in curls with a structure internal even who controls a different devices.

  Event structures are being controlled by a box structure.

  From time to time the VI gets stuck and resetting local variables.

  

  Hello

  Using two while the loop is not a problem, it depends on how you structure the code.

  Generally, we use two while loop for Producure-consumer, master - slave structure type of applications. Try to use the structure of State machine inside while loops, see standard state machine examples in the palette of NOR find example.

• How to stop a while loop structure in the event of a main vi

  Hello;

  Sorry for my English

  I have to stop to a Subvi my main VI, the Subvi contains a while loop and an event structure, so I need to stop this loop while I tried directly from my main vi, global variable, but it did not work

  any help please or example!

  How about something like this (solution see attachment) using a user event.

  Explore the User Interface--> range of events and dialogue. To display the dynamic event of the terminals in the structure of the event just right click and select 'display the dynamic event posts '.

• How to reset a while loop based on a value change event?

  Hi all

  I work in a labview program that sends voltage to a laptop via USB 6008, tension is amplified by an op-amp, and then he comes back in the laptop. I created a program and a working circuit, but my current challenge is how to reset the average of the values of voltage coming into the laptop, after that the user changes the digital control (which controls the output voltage). In other words, I need to be able to reset the number of iteration and the sum to 0 each time this happens.

  I looked upward to reset the counters of iteration through shift registers, but I'm not sure it will work in this case, but I'm also not sure how to reset the sum of an array (if possible). I have spent a lot of time to read these forums and tutorials from various sites, so I think it can be done with the correct nesting of the case structures, structures of the event and while loops, but I don't know how. I am new to LV, just started to learn in mid-January, so any help is appreciated.

  Thanks in advance,

  Graeme

  You just need the structure of single event with the bargains.  Use the case of timeout to get your new values and find the average (100ms timeout value and get rid of the wait function (ms)).  Keep the amount and the number of items in the shift registers.  Wire these values through each case of the event.  In the event of changing the value: control, just set the values to 0.  Then add a Stop button value change event to stop your program.

  

  

• Control of the event: how to stop the race while loop within a structure of the event

  Hello

  I have some problems with control of a while loop inside a structure of the event (see annex VI).

  I have 3 buttons (the "Start measurement, stop, exit the program"). When a measure is running, it should be possible to stop the measure by clicking on "Stop the measure", but it does not work.

  Someone at - it an idea?

  Thank you very much and best regards,

  Michael

  Hi Michael,

  create a process parallel to your measurement. You can use the design model "producer/consumer with vents. You'll find it with «File-> new...» ».

  Another possibility would be to remove the "lock frontpanel" sign, in the case of event start measurement.

• How to control a VI (with a while loop and a structure of the event) from an another VI

  Hello

  I have the main VI which I want to be driven from an another VI. But I can't do that and I don't know what is happening.

  For example: VI main, I have a while loop with a structure of the event, there is a Boolean controller controlling a Boolean LED, which is inside the structure of the event. And the other VI, there is just a Boolean controller and functions of applications to open the main VI.

  How can I control the Boolean LED in VI main, changing the State of the Boolean controller in an another VI?

  Thank you.

  There are different options, but depending on what you want to do. For this example I can't give you a specific solution.

  I do not understand why you do what you do. Why do you call your 'principle VI' dynamically? What is the advantage to do? There are also other ways to call a VI dynamically, based on real cases (for example the method "call and forget", etc...).

  In you principle VI, control you Boolean ("THATCHER") is not the case of corresponding event. This is not usually a good practice, keep it inside.

  Also, why you try to communicate with the caller and callee VI through such a way to twist? There are better ways to do it.

  In one of my projects, I use the user event to launch orders in case of case of appellant VI.

• Structure of the event inside while loop

  I'm still fairly new to Labview and this may seem a simple question.  I'm doing a Subvi to display, edit, and create configuration files.  I use a ListBox to list all sections of a config file and structure of the event to update the values in each section, when they are clicked.  The problem is that the structure of the event seems to be a break the while loop so that the buttons do not work until the event has executed.  What I would like is the while loop to run continuously and the event to run only when I click in the listbox control.  I hope this makes sense.  There is a peak in the diagram below. Thank you

  There are a number of issues with your code that could cause problems:

  1. You must use the FP. Open method to open the front panel of a VI and of the public Service. Close method to close. I don't remember exactly the problem, but starting with the 7 worm nor indicated that these methods were the preferred way to perform these tasks.
  2. Based on what seems to be the code, the event for the control of Presets of wood should be a change the value - not a mouse down event. After changing the type of event, use the event data NewVal to drive the indexer table index entry.
  3. The buttons Ok and cancel them should be handled in their own events to change the value. The value change event Cancel would exit the loop, while passing the output error (which indicates that cancel was pressed) and default values for the other 4 outputs. The change of the value Ok event would leave the loop by passing the values that the operator had concluded the 4 controls on the front panel.
  4. An event of timeout with a very short time (1 msec) would stop loop if an error has occurred, or the output of the gate AND is set to true.
  5. The wait function is not necessary, as is the case outside the loop structure.

• event structure and while loop iteration

  Hello

  It took me time to identify the problem I have, but I think I've nailed it and need help to solve.

  I am right to say that a while loop that contains a structure of the event will travel only once and then wait for another event to occur before a loop again?

  The question I have is that I need mark to a timestamp of a data acquisition driver (DataTaker) value, and whenever he changes the Labview event structure would take care of the rest of the incoming data.

  So is there a way to make everything in continuous loop on questioning my value of timestamps from my Datataker driver so that I can create an event Value (Signaling) for the Structure of the event to take care of?

  Thank you

  Richard

  Two options.

  1 put the stuff event to query a regular base in its own while loop that runs in parallel to the loop containing the structure of the event.

  2 put the stuff that you need mark in the case of delay of the structure of the event and a thread time-out value in the upper left corner of the structure.  Now, if no event to occur in this time, the structure of the event will run the case of timeout and the loop will iterate again.  The only problem with this method is that the case of timeout to run irregularly, or never at all if it turns out that events come more frequently than the timeout value.

• While loop with reading of text file - calendar of events in a given period

  Hello world.

  I created a program that if serial interface via a port to a syringe push in my lab. Currently, the program reads in a text file-flow rate values and sends them to the pump, one by one, through various commands. I need to ensure that whenever a new flow rate value is sent to the pump, it does in a specific/hard time for a while. I.e. every 0.1 seconds, changes in flow rate and must are active until the next period. I tried to use a timed loop and I think I've succeeded, but it hogs system resources, so I was wondering if there was a way to do it using the number of cycles or something of this nature. I just started using LabView, so I'm slowly getting the hang of it (easy when you watch my VI!)

  See attached VI. I took orders from serial port and have instead orders display in an indicator. The nested and densely populated while loop contains the commands that need to be completed/last during the period (like 0.1 second).

  Thank you for your time and help!

  Hi, you should read some introductory material on LabVIEW to down the idea of the stream.

  Basically, the data flow in the wires from left to right, and any node will not work until it has reached all of his contributions.

  The thread of the error is the best way to run data streams.

  ***

  In your VI I use data wires, their execution through structures, and forcing the structures to run in the sequence.  Using a structure of sequence you mentioned in your next post will force the two scripts to execute in the order of (the only one we discussed to be in race condition.)

  Similarly, for brevity, I would wrap the EMO and she is business structure in a single sequence and force it to run last using stream.  In this way the user has the most possible time to decide to hit the EMO before she is called by the application.  As it is now, it most likely is interviewed at the beginning of the loop, so if it's the exchange value you won't see results until the next loop.

  When running in execution of highlight you see the order of data flow, but that is not guaranteed to be the same for a normal performance, where the use of the data stream.

  ***

  The counter tick account ms up to a very large number and then "says" reset and start counting again.  I know you want to START the loop as close to every 10 ms.  Yes, using data flow, take the number of cycles first, perform actions, then return the number of cycles.   The second time of the tick read that you are in a nested loop that does not stop until you get 10 or more difference on the number of cycles.

  And, on the off chance that you must achieve "return" on the tick counter comes stops the nested loop then move.  (if the second measurement is less than the first, then the tick counter handed.  If you miss this situation while you'd have to wait a long time for the condition of the difference > 10 in the reunion, basically locked in the loop.

  ***

  You could put the EMO sequence, we have seen, in line with data streams.  Before or after the second control of ticks will not make much difference in terms of 10ms.  I would put it after checking the tick, again give the user more time to hit the EMO if necessary.

  ***

  I put in a queue for the stream error and removed the other stuff.

• CPU utilization while loop

  Manual LabVIEW declare a while loop must always contain a "wait for ms" vi to unlock the task for this period.

  However, I thought that it the same fate if I use the same timeout ms for the timeout of a structure event inside the while loop

  and omit the "wait for ms" vi.

  Unfortunately the time-out of the structure of the event does not seem to unlock the task so that the façade reacts very inert in this case, even if it reacts
  prompt in either case.

  Does anyone have an explanation more in depth of this behavior?
