typedef vs strict typedef

What is the difference between a typedef and a strict typedef?

And in the interest of teaching to fish, where can I find this information? I could not find information about the typedefs in PDF files that came with LabView.

Thanks for the help.

Try using Labview.

Definitions of type 'strict type' and 'definitions of types'

It is quite clear. If you need assistance repost.

  • LV FPGA - Front Panel strict Typedefs are not flexible

    Hello

    When using LabVIEW FPGA and implement a strict typedef on the Panel before the FPGA, this causes issues with the FPGA generated in the PC Code reference. I have attached a picture.

    In the code of my PC, I generate the ref FPGA, then use it. In the subVIs downstream, I use the same REF. It works very well. But if I never change the strict typedef and recompile the code FPGAS, can I get the wire cut as in the attached photo. I have to manually recreate this indicator FPGA Ref and cut and paste in all the subVIs downstream, pain in the ass!

    One might think that the strict typedef should not update in this manual. You can fix in future versions, or I do something wrong?

    Configuration information:

    • Open FPGA VI reference is to the bitfile and dynamic mode
    • FPGA VI on benchmark is the same bitfile
    • Downstream of fpgaRef indicators come bitfile too.

    Thank you

    You bind the FPGA reference to an interface or to the VI?  I think that if it's related to the VI you should not see this problem, but if link you to the interface of this problem would be understandable.  Also, have you considered reference FPGA so a type definition?  Then, you only set in one place if it does not break.

    EDIT: in case it isn't clear, by binding, I hear a right click on the indicator and choosing configure the FPGA reference.

  • Why this dot on the typedef table indicator strict coercion?

    Why is there a constraint on the second point control?

    I created a table of 3 trivial elements of doubles and created an indicator by right-clicking on it in the block diagram. It is the control of "CreateIndicator".

    Then I did the same thing to create a second indicator on the same wire from the selected Panel and output it he adapted to a strict typedef, saved and applied the changes. It is the control of "CreateIndicatorThenCustomize". There one point of coercion in this regard, if. Why?

    Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this for me!

    Don't get started me on the "point of constraint = copy of the buffer" falicy (hm, I think you just!)

    It this case LV says you type conversion non-defed in type-def, who all had there.

  • strict typedef typedef by script

    Hello

    I have problem when OTI cones to create the legend in typedef strict programaticaly - it seems that I can't do. I'm browsing normal typedef, it works well.

    I can do it manually because there only 4 or 5 as strict typedefs.

    I'm beginner when it comes to scripts, do you have any suggestions?

    I think you need a little more discription.

    You try to change the caption before our during execution.

    the script do you mean Labview Script? creating new controls to use during execution.

    If you try to create a nice control since a typedef, maybe you should watch xcontrols. Then, you can use a property node to change the legend labels.

  • One way to approach the typedef a cluster by programming

    I have a need to extract the labeltext attached to a parent typedef of various front groups. Unfortunately the strict type defs apply strictly for referenced controls labeltext. Is it possible to use a Panel control/cluster reference before addressing the typedef parent programmatically? Or y at - it a way to extract the original/typedef labeltext programmatically for a cluster given façade/control?

    I don't know if I understand. If you are typical of a cluster, each element has a fixed label. You cannot change the item labels in different forums.

    That being said, I assume you mean the entire cluster (typedef instance) label. This can be changed, OK.

    I don't see any purpose to read the label of the typedef itself, however, it is possible. You must create a node of the cluster (instance) property, then select the 'Typedef VI' property. using VI Server, you can make reference to the façade, read controls (which is the actual typedef cluster) and the text of the label.

    Please note that the first property that I mention is part of the VI Scripting, so you'll see it only if you activate scripts VI in LV options.

  • Possible bug: constant Typedef ring not updated...

    I have a constant control of ring, which is defined as a strict type def.

    If I select an instance of the control in my diagram and 'open the typedef', I can't change, no problem.

    I then click 'apply changes' and 'save' and expect any changes to be propagated to each instance of the control (such that it works with all other controls that I use). If I run the code and observe the values, they are held as the previous version of the control.

    If I delete the instance of the control and then add it again, the new values are found.

    It's frustrating, because I have to remove and re-add all cases, whenever I change something. I've seen this behavior in other controls as "apply changes" has always worked as I expected.

    Anyone seen this before?

    I'm using LabVIEW 2012, SP1, Build 12.0.1 (32 bit).

    Thank you

  • typedef

    I have a strict typedef that I use to the startup configuration, is a cluster which is full of clusters and these clusters of all
    has strings and indicators dbl. When I change what's in the string or the value of the indicators, it does not come through
    in the program. I thought that a strict typedef would update the value in the typedef when used?

    Imagine a type def (strict or not) is a classic as numeric type for example.

    You can use several digital but you do not want this entirely digital changes if you change one.

    This is the case even for type Type def beats are only a means to define a custom representation of data but not the content.

    If you want to propagate the values between them, you must link them (indicator control, local variable, knot of furniture, etc...)

  • Add content to the constant of typedef

    I created a typedef strict compelled constant references to the controls and indicators which makes a .ctl file. Now I wish to add control references to the typedef but can not understand how... I tried to add new references to command directly to the constant of typedef. The operation has failed. I also tried opening the typedef that opened the .ctl file. It was also a non-starter, as you can view the front panel, which means that I can't add references to the constant of a typedef ?

    Any ideas?

    Stroke

    I'm not sure what you're trying to do, if you want to change your typedef (add - modify controls remove him) then of course, you have to open it, you make changes and save. then changes will be propagated throughout your soft everywhere where you the typedef is used.

    The fact that you want to add a control reference control to your typedef does not alter.

    Typedefs isn't a block diagram and allows you to add a Ref control to your typedef, you can do it from the front panel, just go you are the appropriate palette (Refnum)

    Hope this helps

  • Find the accent of the TypeDefs?

    Hello

    in my application, I have a function as the control that currently has the focus (for some properties of this control later). A copy simplified this function I have attached below.

    My question: why not the method works when the control is a typedef?

    Kind regards

    CD,

    Looking at the help page of this particular method, it seems it is not available with the strict type definitions.

    Interestingly, I was not able to get to work for an enum.  I'm using LabVIEW 2014 but would be interested to know what version of LabVIEW you use so I can try it tomorrow when I have more access to the versions.

  • Adding labels to Array Typedef

    Hello

    I have a chart 2D containing values. It looks like this:

    This table is involved in several different from VI, so I made a typedef.  Now I can update once and they have all auto-updated.  However, the tags in the def type do not update.  How can I get labels to auto update as well?

    Thank you!

    In your TypeDef, make sure that it is set to Strict Type def.  Otherwise, aspect of the user interface is not at the point of use.

  • How to define a typedef'd ring of text to "adapt to the pane.

    I am trying to create a program with a statusbar that displays some error messages. So what I did is, I created a small vertical crack, deleted the scroll bar and everything and inserted a ring of text, containing all the status codes. Works very well. So that the user is able to resize the program window, I checked the object "scale with glass. Still: works perfectly. Now trying to become a master of the flow of data and structured labview programmer, I do the textring a typedef. Of course I avoid making a strict typedef, so that I can re - use and re-design, too. Now what is happening, it's that when I drag the control newly created in the status bar, the 'object of scale with component' option no longer appears. Why? How can I get it back? What Miss me? Alternative: is there a better model of design on how to tackle such a scenario? Z thank you

    Hello

    After watching in this deep I discovered, that if you the indicator first make scalable with pane and then do a typedef, the indicator dimensionnera with component. However, if you copy the typedef, scale with beaviour pane disappears.

    This is certainly not the behavior that you expect. That is why I tabled a CAR for the question who has the number 333531

    If you download the new Version you need to find the number of these release notes. If it appears, the problem has been resolved.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • I have an auto change typedef that breaks my code

    I'm a big fan of the typedefs, to use whenever I say something or even think that I could possibly repeat something.

    I have a typedef that I used for years and all of a sudden it began to change its contents without discernible reason.

    The typedef is simply and table of four elements, these elements being an enum with just two options.  Between this week and last week, the typedef suddenly contained six items and feeding the vi who use of six elements causes vi to generate errors.  Of course, when he does, it also causes constant entries to these vi to move to six items so now I must go and delete the two items for each constant.

    I was working on this yestrday from the top down.  Fixed the tpedef to four elements, fixed the four elements vi and then systematically going all cases where there is a constant of entry and reduce them to four elements.

    This morning, when I opened the project fresh and open the typedef, it was back to six items.  It is not strict, but I can do so without negative effects.  There is nothing written intentionally in the code to change the typdef programmatically.  I am feeleing all corrections that I made yesterday are back to the way they were, and I have to go through al of them again.

    Any thoughts on what could be the cause?


  • A typedef Enum with more 100 entry don't update

    Hello!

    Enum even one made before update the TypeDef (left with 100 points), one made after update (right with 104 articles)

    Why not is not updated even if 'Auto Update of Type def' is active...

    Same with LV2010

    First of all, you don't have an enum.  You have control of the ring.  It has different behaviors with respect to typedefs compared to enums.

    I did a search on "ring typedef is not updated" and there was some interesting discussion on the subject, you should read.

  • copy main typedef not found

    Hi all

    I posted this question in the LabVIEW forum, but I guess that maybe the teststand discussion forum should be better, so I'm now posting here.

    I have a problem with my typedefine (Teststand UI Data.ctl) in the UI (derived from the interface chart single of Teststand). In the implementation, I was always able to add reminders in response to Teststand events in the past.

    Recently when I try to add a new reminder of a Teststand events, I get error saying that the master copy Typedef is not found or error. What I find odd are:

    1. If the Typedef master copy was not found or error comes, why would the error affect the reminders already implemented for other events Teststand?

    2. If the Typedef master copy was not found or error comes, why is it possible to run the program?

    Here I have 2 screenshots. The first screenshot shows the reminder of existing, where there is no error of the master copy of Typedef not found or error. The second screenshot shows the error when a new reminder is added to another event.

    The main copy of Typedef, call TestStand UI Data.ctl is also shown in 1 screen capture, and it is located in the TestExec.llb, as shown in the third screenshot.

    I'm not sure how to start debugging this problem, that is why I hope that experts from teststand out there can give me some advice.

    I am using 32-bit LabVIEW 2014 and 2014 Teststand 32 bits. Running on the Windows 7 system.

    Thank you.

    Yours sincerely

    The simplest solution to this problem is to open the broken VI. Right click on the broken control and replace with the control of the typedef.

    The reason why he broke up is because you changed the typedef and VI was not in memory to be updated. The EndEdit event callback is looking for a TestStandUI Data.ctl. However, this file no longer exists (and so your error) according to the other screws, you renamed it to TestESystemUI Dependencies.lvlib:TestStandUI Data.ctl.  Be sure to have your files loaded into memory before rename/modify a location of VI.  Way the easiest is to have all the related screws project that endedit was not
