The front panel indicator background color manually

Hi I'm trying to color of the lights on the front panel depending on whether a test was successful or not. I created a Subvi to do the job, but I can't choose the right to the property to be set depending on what type of indicator is in color (ie. digital or string) then I used a case statement and try to detect what type of reference is passed in so I can set the right to property. I used a number of existing posts about it to this day.

I seem to be unable to determine the type of reference correctly, I get errors about not being able to cast to the specified type, trying a color string indicator.

I tried to add a screencapture but the system hung while I attached the VI, any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you

When you compare references, the result tells you whether or not they refer to the same object, it does not tell you if they are of the same type.

See VI changed to a technique to use.

    Thank you Adam, it's originally in a while loop, I placed it in a loop for example, wired County in the for loop and presto, this son of a digital indicator. It works very well. Thanks for the help folks.

  • 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?

  • HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Small Form: The front panel audio connector - this only made type to use for headphones and microphone

    Hello

    I am trying to determine what type of audio 3.5 mm plug to put into the connector on the front panel for the use of a headset to make video communications.

    could be - sleeve, ring and end cap (mono audio and microphone)

    or

    could be - sleeve, ring, ring and tip (stereo sound and microphone)

    Having read through the manuals and nothing is said on the type to use.

    Hello world

    Just plugged the connector 4 poles on my headset combination for my mobile phone (cellular) and the box of pop - up asked me to select headset or microphone - no selection for both.

    Looks like the right sleeve is for headphones only, and the left one is for headphones or micro - selectable by the user and not the two on a single sheet.

    Everything explained by the practice - but not the paperwork in the manuals.

    #5 for microphone or headset - menu popup is displayed after you insert a 3.5 mm plug to select that one but not both at the same time.  (So I can't use my headset to phone)

    Thank you

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • Requirements Gateway - objects on the front panel

    Hello

    I'm about to start using the gateway requirements and I have a few questions to help me go...

    1. If I create a vi on a machine without RG installed and then move it to a machine with the Receiver General installed, will be always recognized tags?

    2 - RG recognize the syntax [covers XX] if it's on a façade and not the block diagram?

    Thanks for your help.

    Darren.

    I know a little RG.

    1. Yes.

    2 RG will scan the three areas of a VI for references: VI Description, control/indicator Description and diagram commentary (free labels). That's why he won't see a reference on the front panel (for example data text or text of the label or a caption).

  • Is there a way to put a button on the front panel only when clicked gives a pop-up dialog box with more information on it?

    Hello world

    The simulations that I create are very simple themselves but are intended to use in the classroom to help students learn more about the proven theory.  I hope to be able to place a 'help' or 'other info' button on the front panel that rises wants more info on theory, they can click on it and a pop up appears with background information on it.  It should also have a second button to close it and return to the main façade.  Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

    Thank you!

    Use a structure of the event on the main vi when the button is clicked, launches a "help" void / vi. On the inside of the Sub vi (with the set properties to load the front when it is called, of course), use another structure of the event to wait until then click on the button of the Subvi, you can return to the main VI. Do you need assistance on using the structures of the event?

  • Only the front panel cursor hand

    On the front panel, I see only the hand cursor.  I can place objects but not change or move.  On the block diagram, I can place objects, but not wire or move objects.  The VI is not running.  I'm using LabView 6.1.

    You realize, not you, that you have to manually select the tool with 6.1? Can you show the tool palette to select from? You can click on the tab key to cycle through tools?

    I find anywhere a note detailing the two LEDs on the front panel of the printer.  Of course, the left is the power light and the Start button / stop.  The other, 1/2 "to the right, has an icon as the icon of WiFi or wireless, or whatever it may be as an antenna with a radiating signal left and right of it.  What is this for?  It seems that there is a hole below and to the right of the symbol, but nothing ever shows up.  I turned off the wireless and turn it back on and or State shows a light here.  I reinstalled the software checks to see if that mattered and it made no difference.  I also unplugged the router and the printer, and that has not changed anything. It is connected to my wireless network and works very well.  What this has to do with some additional services such as ePrint?  I just lost some of them September 1, 2016.  Perhaps the only light when something just one of them?

    Hello

    That your work as expected wireless connection, there no problem with the wireless printer, just with his lamp wireless card.

    The lamp to indicate the wireless connection is turned on and must turn on once connected wireless.

    They have nothing to do with ePrint or any Web service, it must turn on once connected to a local wireless network.

    As you mentioned that you are connected and the printer maintain a wireless connection, it's probably just a blown bulb.
