update of the components of the cluster transit

Today, I wrote a recursive VI (my first!) which updates the items between groups where clusters named elements in common.

Background: I have a test architecture I am developing where each step-test configuration, a cluster is stored in a file. If the cluster configuration changes for a test, I would like to be able to load the old values of configuration for the new test. Usually this group will be the same, but it can have new items or items that have been deleted.

The VI is based on certain functions varying OpenG. The challenge here was to deal with nested groups, and it has been managed by recursion. The VI has shared value clone reentrancy and data of cluster in the main cluster types are managed in a call environment in VI. It's an elegant solution!

I'd like some comments on this code: are there ways it could be improved? The corner cases, I have not covered?

I've updated my code, which is now robust to missing cluster - group.

  • update of the cluster indicators

    Hi, I put a bunch of indicators in a cluster. Is it possible to update these indicators without going through another group of the same type with controls that are associated with indicators?

    Thank you.

    You can simply create a room of your cluster of the indicator and use it as a prototype for entry. See attached vi

  • update values in the cluster on front panel

    I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but how a cluster on the Panel before updating its values? Synchronous display does not work as I expected, that should be.

    REF. the attached example: I want the values of the numerical control façade to update cluster when they are modified. The numeric value is increased by 1 and then adapted to the cluster and the indicator shows the correct value. I, however, want the control to be updated, so that it shows the increase in the value for the digital and will be this value during the next run of the VI. Is there a way to do this?

    OK, I found a way to do this, but would like to confirm that it is a good practice. Once the value increases, I wire the cluster to a local variable in the cluster and it updates for the next time the VI are executed.

    What is a good way to do it?

    If your cluster must have control over the FP, then update with a local variable is fine.  You can get into trouble if you read & write in multiple threads by using this method, though.  .

  • Update only one item in the cluster while avoiding race conditions

    I have a cluster called "Inputs" that has a bunch of data within all kinds of data types.

    I have several loops in the code I want each of them to update a specific element within the cluster.

    I have to get the cluster use this Bundle by name on the specific item and then rewrite in the cluster.

    This way I have racing conditions because two loops can 'be' the cluster at the same time, but when they rewrite a wiil overwrites the other.

    How can I avoid these race conditions?

    I am familiar with Globals functional if it is connected to a possible solution (I have the feeling that it is..)

    Thank you!

    I still think that my suggestion to use the value of data references would be easier. The structure of the International preliminary examination will block the concurrent access to the data cluster: no race condition.

    The last loop (option) shows how to query the State of the heap of data.

  • Update for the Firmware Cluster HA

    The default behavior of an update of the firmware of cluster HA is that it will update firstly the backup firewall, restart, failover to the backup, reboot and main firewall update.

    Is there a possibility to upgrade a SINGLE unit in the cluster to a new version of firmware, check this new version for a few days and then after the update of the other unit?

    I had a problem to upgrade from a cluster of 2 firewalls section 5.9.1.1 to 5.9.1.5. After a few hours the two firewall restarted permanently after availability of 5 minutes. Seems the best practice to check for a new version of the firmware, but I have not found a way to do this...

    This is not possible with SonicWALLs, because both the SonicWALLs running must be on the same firmware. Only way to do something like that, is to break the link HA and activate one of the SonicWALLs off and by default after the test.

    Thank you

  • disabled components will not update via the code on 4.6 and beyond

    Hello

    I have a BlackBerry product which is usually done by the visitors on a device running OS 4.5. At some point in the application, a screen is locked so that no component can be updated by the user while the application waits for a response from the server process. Once a response is received, the application retrieves a value of response burden and updates one of the editable fields progammatically (but it is still not editable by the user).

    It worked on 4.5 as I have said, but a customer tried this on a device using 4.6 and the field is is more updated. I don't know if the fact you can update a field by programming even when the field was not editable was originally a bug that has been fixed at 4.6 or if there is another way to achieve this.

    My current thinking on this is to temporarily mark the element as editable after receiving a response from the server, update the field, then turn it off again. It smells really bad and I wonder if there is a better way to approach this problem. Any thoughts?

    I don't think the editable flag has any influence on changes programmatically, in other words, you can together make a "setText" on fields that are not editable.

    I would look first for a change in the treatment of communication which means that the field is NOT updated due to other errors.

  • The update of the BIOS?

    Hey, guys.

    I'll post a video here on the update of the BIOS of your laptop and why it is so important to update.

    So why upgrade BIOS? Improvements over time, the manufacturer of the BIOS the BIOS Setup program, or they are able to provide the functionality of the additional system or features by adding more instructions in the BIOS. Sometimes, problems of component can be fixed during the upgrade of the BIOS.

    The BIOS is important because without it, the system components cannot start by themselves. Although the work of the BIOS seems simple, the interface behind it is complex. When you enter the BIOS Setup program, you should see a lot of parameters and configurations for your system hardware. Unless you really know what you are doing, do not touch these parameters.

    The BIOS can only start and configure the hardware components of your system at system startup. Once the operating system, like Windows, comes into play, the operating system completely takes over and the BIOS will be is no longer necessary. The BIOS has so a few seconds to accomplish his task during the startup.

    Be careful, the BIOS manufacturers always recommend that if there is nothing wrong with your computer, are there no need to upgrade the BIOS. Whatever you do, do not turn off your computer while performing a BIOS upgrade.

    * BIOS does not improve your gaming experience and it doesn't run your computer faster in itself. This is because, once more, the operating system will take over once the BIOS does its job. **

  • History of clear ranking with only refers to the cluster

    I have a group of UI elements that I save them as a strict type def be reused between various programs. I can send data in each of these elements. However, I use graphic waveform instead of waveform graphs so that I can stack data. In my application, the user can select data at different points in time so I need clear history graphic waveform and then update the graph with the necessary values. It works fine if I make a direct reference from the graph but I can't operate using just the reference to the cluster. I get either a mismatch of type if I use a strict reference, or I don't see the historic property at all if an appending reference is used. I've seen people putting this problem before but had not seen the right solutions that work with just the reference of the cluster. Any thoughts?

    In the comic book, do a right-click on the reference to the "table of waveform" and select Create-> constant.  Strictly typed constant wire at the entrance of "class of target" of "more class specific.

  • move the cluster for sub vi

    Hello

    I want to spend a cluster that can change its content to one under VI. The cluster does not change by program, but during programming, that is, I could add or remove items in the / cluster. Using direct wire or local variables I would have to change each sub VI that uses the cluster updated the. I also tried the typedefs, but I met the same problem.

    At the same time the Subvi should be able to update the cluster I spent.

    In C++, I use classes like struct (equivalent to the cluster of LV) and pass a pointer to a class object to a function. Within the function, I choose the members of the class I want to use inside this function. If I change the class structure, the functions of the Word are not affected (of couse only as long that I remove irrelevant of class members of the called function).

    Example (from C++):

    settings * param;  'settings' is a class that I use to group variables

    doSomethingUseful (param);

    / * the doSomethingUseful function uses the pointer to parameter and accesses the members of

    Param-> variable1

    Param-> variable2

    ...

    Hereby, I can change the values of variables stored in the param object

  • [BUG] TestStand 2013 receives corrupt data to LabVIEW adapter if the cluster contains waveform array

    Hi all

    I am having trouble with the corruption of the data. My minimal test case is below.

    I have a VI that returns an array of clusters. My TestStand sequence simply call this VI and connects to its output:

    When I run the (with my open VI) .seq file, I can see the update of the Panel before LabVIEW with expected values:

    However, TestStand receives all these values. Waveform bays have the correct values, but everything else is empty / null:

    If I delete my typedef waveform table, all elements of the cluster are correctly registered by TestStand.

    I've attached an example of test (2013 TestStand, LabVIEW 2013) case.

    Any ideas on how to make it work?

    Hey JKSH,

    Thanks for the detailed on this report. I looked into it a little bit last week.

    I think that it is closely related to the 206892 of CAR, which describes a problem where data will not appear on the report unless a property or variable is specified for the output waveform parameter. However, this does not completely cover your case, because you see incorrect digital data in the row with the waveform of your cluster. I filed 462209 CAR for that matter, and we will investigate it more thoroughly.

    This problem only affects data that appears "below" the waveform in the cluster. In the case of the sample, if you put the waveform as the last element of the bunch, I think that it works correctly. I know that your real data could be more complex than this example, but this workaround solution would help in the meantime? You could also consider separating the waveform of the rest of the data, that would probably work too.

    As I said, please let us know, and it is classified in our system now for a developer to investigate the matter. Please let me know if solutions are not appropriate for your application, we would be happy to know a little more about your overall use case order to work around the problem.

  • Just a quick question about the appearance of the cluster

    Hello, this is Matthew, just a quick question about the appearance of the cluster

    Is there anyway to rearrange the order of the elements? I know cutting automatic resizing, I could move the items by hand. But if I use the cluster somewhere else, I have to move the items again...

    What I want is of the order of "Mx My Mz Ax Ay Az Temp voltage CS".

    Is there a quicker way to deal with?

    THz so much!

    You can right-click the border of the cluster and choose "arrange control cluster...". "The user interface is not as intuitive as it could be, but it will allow you to reorder items. If you use the cluster in several places, you should make the cluster in a type definition and replace all current uses of the latter with the type definition, so that they all match. They will also update automatically when you make changes to the type definition. Otherwise, you could have a situation where you have multiple groups with the same data types, but with elements in a different order, and your data will be getting a new denominated, when wire you the whole clusters. The data will be in the same order, but given that the item labels are in a different order, you can't get the data you want, when ungroup you by name.

  • Table 2d to the cluster

    Anyway is to convert a table to 2 dimensions to a cluster? im making a parking lot (which has columns and rows of parking spaces) and I want to convert it to an inorder to cluster to unbundle the components to use them for some other stuff, how do I do this?

    A cluster is a set of elements, so it makes no sense with regard to a 2D array.

    If you have a 2D array, you will need for each of the items in the index and assign them to the cluster.

    Another possibility is to reshape the 2D in a 1 d table table, and then use the table to cluster (with the number of items correctly defined in the right click menu of the function).

  • An array of type cast to the cluster

    Is there a real difference between 'table of cluster' function, and simply type casting to a cluster?  The image below shows a simple example.  Apart from providing the names of each element of the cluster, type cast function automatically sets the size of cluster, which is a nice feature when you work with a typedef.  I really wonder if there is any downside to type casting when elements of array and cluster are the same type of data.

    Thanks in advance.

    Type casting man knows where I live, so my opinion is biased.  When I have to do such a conversion, which is hardly ever, but does not match ever, so I'm going with the Type Cast.  You hit the bigger points, meaningful labels and ease to spend six to seven to eleven elements with Type FED.  When I do this conversion it is usually because I have to do a magic of property whose tables do not permit (all components need to share properties with the exception of value).  Creating a table of function control Cluster is say a Clusterflop, according to the Type casting, exactly what I'm looking for.  In addition, table in the Cluster service performs a code obfuscation, is always maintained at 9 elements, and otherwise must disappear, or at least that:

    http://forums.NI.com/T5/LabVIEW-idea-exchange/remove-default-behavior-from-array-to-cluster/Idi-p/17...

    First of all, ask yourself if you really should do this, if the answer is Yes, then I say Cast of Type.

  • Writing only to certain parts of the cluster in an array by reference

    Hello

    I have an array of clusters that I use as well to view and enter data, i.e. elements of the cluster are unmodifiable (disabled) controls used as indicators of "false" (numeric values, strings, LEDs) and some are normal witnesses (numerical values, buttons).

    The "indicator" part of this cluster table must be constantly updated (for example with the positions of the engines), normally by replacing the elements according to cluster in a loop and writing in the table. This can lead to conditions of race with the part 'control': If the user enters data in a 'bad' timing control, it gets immediately replaced by the old value - in this case the update process began just before the user input and completed just after the entrance of (which may be a simple click is enough) , so the old values of controls are rewritten on user controls, as the table should be rewritten as a whole.

    Now, I'm looking for a solution to this critical race condition without changing this 'mixed' approach of control/indicator (e.g. by control and indicator tables separated next to each other and paired scrolling or so - which would make it much more horrible GUI design, among other disadvantages). I know that it is possible to change the value of an element in the cluster without having to rewrite the entire cluster using the element reference. However, it's more complicated if you have an array of clusters, because you want the cluster to a certain index table and to my knowledge, there is no such property that gives you for example the reference to the item table located in an index of certain (who is a lack of long date in the table of Labview manipulation). If you change the 'value' of an element of the cluster property in a table, it seems to affect the 'last active' element of the array, at least it is correlated with the array element that was clicked on last. Maybe there's a way somehow programmatically set that ' last active ' array element and browse the table in this way (setting the flag "correspondent" elements of the cluster by reference) or maybe someone knows a solution 'Nice' and elegant?

    I hope you understand what I mean

    Thanks in advance!

    To avoid such conditions of race, make sure what you write on the Board in the same place change you and write only the data for the indicators. Practically, this means that if you have an event for the control change value, you must have another case of event in the same structure of update of the indicators (timeout or a user event) and make sure that the indicator event takes the rest of the data of the current value (for example through a terminal or a local variable or the DVR suggested Steve). Similarly, you can use the terminal control to the current value of the control for the indicators rather than depend on the event containing the correct value.
