The Panel buttons before manipulation within a structure of event

Is there an easy way to manage buttons on the front panel within a structure of the event? I am currently using a structure of the event to bring up a settings tab, but I can only use the buttons that are designated as events. Is it possible to use non-event buttons to perform a sequence of installation and calibration within a structure of the event?

I'm not sure that understand your question. From what you describe, you should look into an architecture of producer consumer where your event loop receives an event, and then transfers part of the work to do in the loop of consumption. This keeps your event loop free to receive events. LabVIEW 2012 comes with a good example of this, the message queue manager model project of waiting.

  • P1102 - why I have to press the power button before printing

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone else knows how to avoid this problem. We have a P1102 connected via USB on Win 7 64 bit.

    Is there a setting somewhere that allows us to not have to press the power button on the printer before printing. It is now connected to the pc. The pc is turned off at night.

    It is very annoying to have to push the button before printing. This may sound trivial, but our old Hp laserjet 1100, only has been replaced with this P1102 as the new pc have no place for a parallel port card, and you never had to press the power button before printing with that, this feels like a step and is very disappointing.

    Thanks in advance.

    It seems that the printer software is not save the auto power off feature is set to never.  I would definitely try update the internal firmware of the printer to see if updating automatic stop is set to never work.

    Click here to access the download page for the Laserjet Firmwares.  Select the P1100 series in the drop-down list.

    This should be done so that a USB cable to connect the printer and the PC.  I would like to know if the firmware is able to get the printer to stay alive.

  • While the loop does not stop within a structure of business

    Hi all

    I have a business structure that works an engine to a certain PWM when my metal detector does not give an amount greater than the threshold that is ' false '. The motor is controlled by a PI controller so a while loop is used inside the false state. When my metal detector exceeds the threshold I want the "true state" to perform but which does not occur. the entire program is a while loop which aims essentially to maintain the operation of the metal detector. How can I make the State of the switch works.

    Once you get the code is trapped inside the inside while loop, it will never be a Boolean wire change because change is outside. All you need is a loop that contains a structure of housing. Run your program with execution highlighting to get a better understanding of the flow of data.

  • The Firefox button is missing in my worm 4.0 menu bar - where can I find the command to add it back in?

    I just downloaded Firefox Ver 4.0 and have been customization - one thing I can't understand... I HAVE the menu bar (File, Edit, View, etc.), but the "Firefox" button (which indicates to your image 'customize' the first button before the menu drop down "File") is missing. I watched all I can think to add, but have had no luck.

    For more details, the operating system is Vista (ugh, but I'm stuck with it for now).

    Would love to help! Thank you very much.

    To get the new interface, you need to hide the menu bar. Do, in the view menu, select Toolbars, then click on the entrance to the "Menu bar".

    If you need to access the menus, you can press Alt or F10 to display temporarily.

  • Graphic CVI axis only updated when the Panel is active, but updated waveform is in the inactive Panel

    Hello

    I have a problem when I want to save a screenshot of the Panel with the GetPanelDisplayBitmap & SaveBitmapToPNGFile functions. The screenshot of the Panel is done when the Panel is hidden or inactive. Thus drawing events don't have facts.

    Please take a look at the attached screenshots:

    (1) manual measurement and life-saving operation, the saved data is ok

    (2) measure hidden and functioning economy, the saved data is not correct, the axis were not my updates

    (3) bring the Panel forward, axis had been updated

    Is it possible to force an update of the axis without back panel to the front or set it as active panel?

    1)

    3)

    I think that it is a bug of the CVI.

    This is how it works:

    -SetCtrlAttribute (Panel, control, ATTR_ZPLANE_POSITION, 0);  without this step the axes will be not updated!

    -for each channel {PlotWaveform ;} (.)

  • manipulation of refreshment of the variables within a structure of the event?

    Hi all

    Here I have my problem: I implemented in a data visualization tool, a button to get the updated file.

    But as the mail application provides new files every 2-5 seconds, I wanted to also apply a function to auto-refresh, so that the file is retrieved every XX seconds.

    I've tried several, solution workaround naïve perhaps, but the problem is that when I start the "auto-refresh", I can't handle anything else in the Control Panel, and I can't change the value of the "automatic update control ' because no doubt... He's waiting. Please find attached the photo.

    What Miss me?

    Thanks in advance,

    Hey Edo,

    You can use the event to wait for it. Do not use a wait within a structure of the event function.

  • How to create a help button on the Panel before the VI?

    Hello

    I want to create a button for example a help button on the front of the VI so pressing that any new user can open folder in which I store some guidance assistance.

    Means do I have a folder on my desktop that I save all data which should prove useful for new user so if some new user want to run the program, and he has no idea how to run the program then he can simply press the help button and after pressing this issue of aid will be open then read then user instruction may start the program.

    Hope you get my point.

    Thank you very much.

    I think the problem is now resolved...

    Here I attached screenshot of the solved problem that might be of help.

    I thank very you much for your help and your time.

  • Can I detect and handle an event already within a structure of the event?

    I have a VI that would do what I want, if I could detect and handle an event of second mouse click while I'm already handling a previous event (selection from popup menu).

    I hope that the picture is clear, but in words what I want is the following: I have first right-click on a chart and select a context menu item, which specifies a graphic manipulation of properties.  Often, this manipulation requires clicking on a second graph to get a reference (for example if I want to copy some of the properties of the first chart on the chart of the target).  It is, it means I'm trying to detect a second event already within a structure of the event.

    I think I could do with a state machine and some registers at offset, and if it's the easiest way, I'll do it.  I would be interested to know whether, if there is a way to detect and manage events 'nested' as I suggested.

    Thank you!

    Your code is not really that complicated.

    Yet, the problem is that confuse you it upward with the main state machine. I would use it in a small parallel loop that only manages events associated with the menu shortcuts. All this should be able to run in parallel in any event, even if the main loop updates the data in the chart at the same time, for example.

    I don't like the dialog box, it hampers the flow of work, but if you use it, use two button dialog so that the user can also cancel if necessary. Instead of the dialog box, you should just temporarily move the cursor on. I also do little to check before operating on the second graph of reason and give a time limit for the second operation.

    Here is a quick project to a more atomic shortcuts Manager. Modify if needed. There are probably bugs.

  • Open the Panel before Subvi in the executable

    Hello

    In my labview project the MainVI contains about 20 subVIs. My goal is that by clicking on a button on the Panel before the main VI I would open a special Subvi (assuming it to be sub - VI, 10). To do this in the labview development environment, I used a reference of openVI with its path of entry is the name of the VI vi I want to throw (Subvi 10), and then set a real constant on the front panel to bring up the control panel front of the Subvi. This works well in the labview development environment, but when I create an executable file I'm not able to open my Subvi. I looked around, on the knowledge base and found this article.

    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/24F54CF34391074D862570E6005857DE. But this talk article to launch the front each time the Subvi is called. This does not work in my case, because sometimes the user may not want to launch the Subvi. I also have a lot of controls and indicators on the Subvi, so there is no way I can get that on the main VI as she would not clutter on the main VI.

    In the property settings for the building of the executable under the category of settings of the Source file, I see the option Panel before removing the dependencies, but it does not set the option for the Subvi individually. Only together, I can remove the front panel for all content items.  If no help on how to solve this problem is greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried to use static references VI instead of using 'VI open' with a file path?  With a static reference VI, the compiler has a better idea on what you are trying to accomplish during the execution.

    I did it in before executables without any problem.  Personally, I like having a Boolean input of the Subvi, called "Display window" (or something like that) and then have the Subvi manage how it wants to open (or close) front panel.

    It has more than this past... the code snippet a little caught of freedoms.

    It is within the Subvi (which my main VI is still running).  The Subvi has a static reference to himself.  I have a button on the front of my VI main panel when you press on sends a 'true' to Boolean entry "display window.  The Subvi responds by opening the front panel upward. The opposite happens when the button is pressed.

    This code was compiled in many executables and works without any problem.

    Edit: Image cropped.  This Boolean coming is "First Call".  The function retrieves LV 2009 done this 'error 2' terminal.  Laughing out loud.  I wouldn't name which.

  • How can I display table 2D tabular on the Panel before the user can delete any subdashboards

    Hi guys and girls.

    It is my first post here, so go easy on me. I promise you that I used my best GoogleFu I before posting here.

    I am a self taught amateur LabView. I worked on a User Interface for my Robot SAGAR. See some of my work so far (girlfriend used as a draft classes, but we have both worked together on it, which got hooked me in the first place on LV):

    Now, I'm working on the use of LV and Google Earth as a planner of mission right now.

    My question is this. I have a 2D array that stores the Lat/Lon each waypoint. I's like to have posted on my

    front tabular, with WP # (the 1st dimension array index), Lat and Lon on line, like this.

    More importantly, have the user can select a point of full path (or just the number of WP would be ok) and remove it using key DELETE or any other button on the Panel.

    I am at a loss on how to do it. Ideas?

    Thanks for the help!

    Heal the little robot.

    You said that you were using a table. I suggest using a multicolumn listbox. In this way, you can change the selection mode to "highlight the whole line. You can use a structure of the event to respond to the user by pressing the delete key. See attached simple example. Note that some keyboard can label the BACKSPACE key as 'delete '. If you want to answer it, you also have to see if the Char value is 8, which is the code for this key.

  • Automatic (programmatically) and manual break summary by before Panel button

    Hi, I'm trying to implement a system which measures the voltage and current for a source variable voltage at variable temperature. The program acquires 5 pairs of voltage and current data. The problem here is that the source voltage is changed by manually changing the value of the variable resistor. What I want to do, it's somehow pause program automatically once the loop (to acquire 5 V and I data pairs) is over. Then, after the user changes the value of the variable resistor (and manually enters the new value through an indicator on front panel), the user must be able to return to the program through a button on front of as in this example: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-10792

    Is it possible to implement this in LabView?

    In summary: I would like to set up a system in which the program would pause automatically after a condition has been fulfilled and can be picked up by a button on the front panel.

    Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions. I hope I've clarified my request. I don't know if attaching the program would help, but it is included in the case where

    Sam put you on the right track.  You certainly do not need while loops inside while loops.

    You can accomplish what you want to do with a while loop, a structure of matter and structure of the event.  The while loop is the external structure of most.  Inside it, you have the structure case controlling the State in which you are.  Inside of a State, you have a structure of the event.  The structure of the event will want to have an event for the stop button and the Start button, but also a timeout.  You'll want to browse your measurements with the help of a State, or of States according to the duration of your measure.

    It should be relatively easy to pick up.

  • wanted to build a vi to simulate the hold on a Panel button.

    Hello

    Were to simulate a press and hold on a Panel button to turn on the rest of the buttons on the Panel.

    Kind of extreme, used case Acquire of entry data, index table, structure (boolean), all in a while loop.

    No comments for this approach or any ideas appreciated,

    The vi can be downloaded on request.

  • How can I move the button reload of the page in firefox OSX for next to the back button where it was before I updated.

    How can I move the button reload of the page in firefox OSX for next to the back button where it was before I updated.
    I know there is an addon for windows Classic theme, but I need a fix for osx... its very frustrating when you update and things like this change and can be customized to the way we are used to using the browser. his counter intuitive to have the page button refresh so far from the back and home buttons.

    never mind, I found the preferences in the addon manager... Thanks again!
