3D picture control only words as administrator

I am using Labview 8.6 and trying to use a 3D picture control but am having a strange issue.
The problem is that the 3D control only works if I am using the administrator account.  If I am using a limited account and I drop a 3D picture control on the FP nothing displays.  Additionally, the picture box behaves badly.  I either see through to the desktop background or get multiple overlapping bits of whatever is on the FP.  I tried launching Labview8.6 "as administrator" but it still doesn't work.  Only if I run Labview under the Administrator account does it work.
Any solutions?

Hey chiraldude, 
What video driver are you using? You can find this out by going to the control panel, selecting device manager, and looking under display adapters (my computer uses NVIDIA, as you can see in the attached Device Manager screenshot). With this information, I can make some better suggestions about what you need to do to have more control when Aero is off. 
cheers!

Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, put the files you moved back where they were, overwriting the ones that may have been created in their place. Then log in and log out again. Otherwise, delete the files you moved.

  • Loop delay when using two VI's with picture controls simultaneously

    Hey all,
    I have observed an odd behavior and I'm not quite sure why it happens. I have two VI's that are mapping GPS coordinates onto XY graphs that are displayed on top of picture controls. When the maps from both of the VI's are visible on screen the loops get delayed by as much as a second, but if you just cover the map portion with another window they go back to looping at twice a second as they should. It took me a little while to figure this part out, let me tell you. There are no computing limitations that should be affecting it since my CPU is only at 10-12% and have 4GB of RAM available. I checked the GPU too just in case and it was sitting at 3% usage, so no hold up there. Anyone have any experience with something like this happening to them? It has me stumped.
    I though it might have to do with how LabVIEW handled them, so I went ahead and made them into EXE's and tried it out with the same results.
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions,

    Is it possible to run the redraw of the picture tiles in parallel, on multiple cores, if they are going into the same control?
    I doubt it. Even if the picture control wasn't pretty old (and it is), I don't know of any mechanism which will give you this level of control.
    Here are potential options. I have no idea if they will help:
    Instead of building separate commands, process the data in such a way that you have a single raster image (i.e. a 2D array) to place into the control. I believe this should be faster.
    Use another type of display (such as a .NET indicator).
    Instead of using the XY graph, overlay the data directly onto the image (there should be some graph VIs in the picture palette which might help).
    Try defering panel updates before updating all the controls and undefering after. I don't think this will help, but it's probably the easiest change to make.

  • 2D picture control doesn't refresh properly

    I have an application which displays a picture in a 2D picture indicator and draws a few rectangles and lines on top of the picture. 
    The locations of these lines change throughout the day, and the application is designed to run minimized and then provide a quick-look at various status items when it is restored by the user.
    While minimized however, the image does not appear to get updated, even though my code is updating it once per second. I can't actually tell what happens when it's minimized obviously, but the behavior persists for some time after the window is restored, and the state it is 'frozen' at is from the time it was minimized.
    There are other digital indicators on the front panel getting updated in the same 1Hz loop, so I know it is just the 2D picture indicator that's not working--i.e., something with LabVIEW or system related is causing the image not to refresh while it's minimized, and more importantly, for some time after the application is restored.
    Some things that will cause a successful refresh to the displayed image after I restore from the task bar to a stale display:
    Minimize again, then restore again (of the LabVIEW window)
    Probing the datapath on the BD for the final Draw Line output that connects to the indicator
    Waiting for awhile (15 seconds? 30 seconds?)
    I also tried setting the following property node with no effect: 
    VI > Panel > Defer Panel Updates > Set to False
    Another way to think about this would be to imagine a 2D picture control with an analog clock, where lines are drawn for minute and hour hands, and updated once per second.  This is not what I'm doing but the example is easy to understand.  When the application is restored from the taskbar, the clock appears frozen in time from the last time it was minimized.
    Same behavior running this in LV 2012 and 2013... I am looking for any other property nodes or refresh methods to force a refresh at 1Hz, regardless if the display is visible.  The display should be immediately up-to-date when the application is restored by the user.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You could try looking at the panel resize event (to recognize the restoring) and then force an update using one of the following methods (I have no idea if they will help):
    Set defer to T and only then to F.
    Set defer to T when minimizing.
    Set the FP window state to something else (hidden, minimized, etc.) and then to standard. This should ideally do the same thing you did with minimizing and restoring again.
    Use the window position property to place the window off the screen and then back in its original position.
    See if you can toggle the synch. updates property programmatically.
    Have a hidden control displayed over the picture control and then hide it.

  • 3D Picture Control Orthographic View zoom - Camera Set up?

    I am trying to display two 3D picture controls.  One displays some objects in 3D (Auto Projection: Perspective, Camera Controller: Spherical).  This 3D image works great and I am having no problems with it.  The other Picture Contol is meant to simulate a 2D image of the 3D object, essentially a Plan View.  To do this I made a 3D picture control with a Orthographic view.  I set the camera to view from above (z-axis) and set the target to be positive y-axis. 
    I have attached an example vi (labview 2013 SP1) that creates some simple 3D objects and displays them in Perspective and Orthographic using the same Camera Position.  On initial start, the Orthographic image is zoomed in heavily. If I manually zoom it (Hold Shift button and mouse up or down), then the Orthographic image will set itself to the correct Camera position.  This is essentially the solution to my problem, but I can't assume the user will have the ability to manually zoom the image.  So I need to set it programmatically.
    If you manual adjust the view on either screen (rotate and zoom), then click the Set Camera button, both images will give a plan view, but only the Perspective Image will be at the correct camera zoom or distance.  The Orthographic stays at the last zoom distance.
    Is there any way to set the Camera distance for Orthographic projection programmatically?   I have tried starting with the 3D picture control as perspective, set the camera distance and then changing it to orthographic, but this still results in a zoomed orthographic image.  From the reading I have done, I think I am trying to the impossible.  Does any one have another suggestion to get the same result.  I have previously used the 2D picture functions to generate the image but found that method inefficient. 
    And suggestions would be great.
    Thanks

    3D_projection_Test.vi ‏38 KB

    Hi Relec,
    thank you (and Kudos) for that inspiring demo!
    Took me while to work it out, but I might have found something that could help us with the orthographic projection.
    Sometime back someone posted a way to collect the current Camera data. Sorry I lost the source. But here is my version as a Get3DCameraPosition.vi using the ModelViewMatrix.
    Unfortunatly this doesn't return the current Target and so a bit of guessing in the right Direction is necessary.
    I'm impressed you found a way to make the Shift-Drag Zoom-movement possible on the orthographic window.
    It seems a whole thread at http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/3D-Picture-Control-Doesn-t-Zoom-in-Orthographic-Mode/td-p/1544460/page/2 wasn't able to find that out.
    In the meantime I've found a way using the ProjectionMatrix to create a zoom-effect which I build into your demo using the mouse wheel.
    All in all I've tried to translate camera movements from the perspective window in the ortho - assuming this is what you were after?!
    Again the missing target information doesn't make it quite right.

  • I want to know how to draw arrows & dashed lines in a picture control

    I have to draw arrows & dashed lines in a picture control. Just like we can do that in word or paint etc. I need to do the same using the mouse and drag the line/arrow till I realease the mouse. I am able to this for a normal line ( it works perfectly) but when I have to draw an arrow or a line I am stumped.

    Unfortunately, you have to code your own VIs to do these. It's not going to be too complicated if you manage the animation (while dragging the mouse) with a normal line and draw the dashed line/arrow at the end (when releasing the mouse button).
    In both cases, you'll know start/end line coordinates, thus having the line equation. For arrows, you need to calculate the angle in order to draw it properly.
    A simpler solution may be an activeX control with these features (Paint like) already integrated or to develop one in Visual Basic (at least it will be simpler to manage mouse events and drawing tasks).
    Let's hope somebody already did it and wants to share.

  • Applescript to replace a picture in a Word document

    I am trying to create an Applescript to control Microsoft Word to replace a selected image in a document with a new image from a file.  The extracted problematic code is below.
      -- prior code sets up variables and seems to be working fine.
                        set {start of content:t_start, end of content:t_end} to text object of selection
                        set float to shapes of active document whose end of content of its anchor ≥ t_start and end of content of its anchor ≤ t_end
                        if float is not {} then --replacing a floating image as opposed to an inline image
                                       repeat with pic in float
                set a to anchor of pic
                set t to top of pic
                set l to left position of pic
            end repeat  -- repeat is not logically necessary but Word seems happier
             tell active document
                set np to make new picture at a with properties {file name:tfile2, save with document:true}
                set relative vertical position of np to rvp
                                                     set top of np to t
                set left position of np to l
             end tell
             delete pic
                        else
         -- rest of code handles when no selection exists or the selected image is inline and is working fine.
    Everything is working fine - the existing picture is deleted and the new one is inserted and moved to the correct position but always on the FIRST page.  The anchor put into a contains the location of the old picture's anchor (which might have a start of content set to 2000 say) but when the new picture is created at a, the new picture is always created with an anchor with a start of content of 0 - regardless of the value in the original anchor.
    What I need is either to create the new picture with an anchor that is on the old page OR move the anchor to the old page after creation - neither of which I have managed to achieve so far.
    Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

    The solution to this problem is to make the new picture using this command
    set np to make new picture at a with properties {file name:tfile2, save with document:true, anchor:a}
    Silly me.  I though that making the picture at "a" would set the anchor to "a". 

  • Window title and borders for Render Window (3D Picture Control)

    Hi all,
    some more questions on the 3D picture control.
    I use the external render window, because in the solarsystem.vi demo, the 3d picture control appears to be very slow. The render window is much faster there. (I haven't tried it for my application though.)
    I'd like to display a full screen 3D animation. How the hell do I get rid of the window title bar (I can set it to empty, but the bar itself remains), and the borders of the render window?
    Regards
    Matthias

    The update speed of the solarsystem example is 2 ms (in the timeout event). This would result in 500 updates per second, witch is totally redundant. Put it on 33 ms, and you'll still get smooth updates, and much better performance! No monitor will update 500 times a second, and your eye can only see 25-30 frames per second anyway.
    With this, you could probably use the normal 3d control (indicator actually). The window doesn't have any way to remove the title bar.
    (You can do some things with window API's, but removing the titlebar is only possible by creating a new class, a new window, and then it would be impossible to tell LabVIEW to use this window...)
    If you'd make the render window full screen, how would you close your application? There is no way (or I'm missing it) to get events back from the render window.
    Regards,
    Wiebe.

    Hi King1
    I have been able to modify an example VI which came with LabVIEW v8.2 which uses the 3d picture control. I have added an event structure to the code which allows the user to pause the rotation of 2 objects in the picture display area. I have added notes to the block diagram which should help in describing its behaviour. the file is attached with this post.
    I hope this is of some help, there are a few more 3d picture examples in the LabVIEW example directory which might also be of use.

    The image is configured to be the default value of "Picture". In other words: you have to get rid of the default. You can do this by either:
    a) Delete "Picture" and create it again. Disadvantage: You have to recreate all property nodes connected to this control.
    b) Load an empty picture and then select "Data Operations >> Make Current Value Default".
    hope this helps,

  • Set 2d picture control image

    I'm making some palette installers for ease of distribution for some libraries I have written. I'm following the example VIs (search the example finder for "palette API").
    I'm having some frustration in setting the new palette icon; the icon constant is a 2d picture control but I can't find a way to drop my image into it, and I can't set it programatically as the 2d picture control VIs only allow me to draw shapes into it.
    - Cheers, Ed
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    In cases like this I often resort to using a transparent classic path as an overlay to catch dropped files.  If you do not plan on interacting with the picture control, it is quite easy.  Otherwise it is just a few more events to control visibility when the mouse enters the VI with the button pressed.
    Just run the VI and drag PNG, JPG, or BMP files to the picture control.

  • Does iTunes have any hidden picture controls for video playback (e.g. contrast, brightness) ?

    Does iTunes have any hidden picture controls for video playback (e.g. contrast, brightness) ?
    I haven’t been able to find any.
    Since the .m4v file type appears to prevent any video bought or rented from the iTunes Store from being played using any other program the lack of these picture controls - if indeed they are lacking - make it seriously deficient as a video player.

    Thanks for the rapid response to my enquiry.
    I know that it’s possible to adjust the monitor’s performance via System Preferences but it is rather long-winded and I’d rather not alter the settings for the entire screen (and then have to change them all back once finished) when it’s only the video playback window that needs adjustment.
    Since iTunes provides various options using the Equalizer for adjusting sound playback it seems rather odd that they don’t have a similar panel for video.
    Regarding QuickTime.
    Apparently earlier versions (such as 7) had picture controls but the current version (10.4) does not.
    I assume Apple are phasing out QT whose development seems to have stopped - or rather gone backwards since it now lacks capabilities it once had - and intend in future to treat iTunes as their universal media player which no doubt makes sense from their point of view.
    I wasn’t aware of the .m4v file type when I made my first and probably last video purchase via iTunes yesterday and didn’t realise that it would restrict my options for playback so completely.
    The experience has really put me off buying any additional video from the iTunes Store.
    Back to DVDs.

  • How can I view my object in Labview's 3D picture control?

    Hey everyone,
    I'm very new to Labviews interface and was wondering how I can go about creating a VI (or subVI) to load my pre-existant VRML file and display it using 3D picture control.
    Just looking for a very simple solution.
    Many Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    The VIs used to load a VRML file are only included in the Full Development System version of LabVIEW according to the help. If you do not have a Full Development System License you won't be able to find those VIs.
    You can find them under : Programming » Graphism and sound » 3D Picture control » File loading (sorry for the bad translation I have French version).

  • Will LR 5.3 read Nikon picture controls applied to RAW files in-camera?

    I've never used picture controls on my D4 because my understanding was that, even though they're embedded in RAW files in-camera, only Nikon software will read the data.  Can anyone verify this condition for me?  If my LR software will read these settings, then I would start experimenting a bit!

    As Andrew said, Lightroom won't read Nikon picture controls, so if you want similar picture style as shot, you need to either:
    * manually select camera emulation profile (you can make presets or defaults as you prefer) - see camera calibration section.
    * use a plugin like ISO Detailer to select camera emulation profile automatically based on camera setting.
    To be clear: *any* software can read any metadata in a NEF (or NRW) that it wants to (there is no legal or technical reason that is prohibitive). Still, it is proprietary, which means "subject to change without notice", which means you have to change your software if Nikon decides to change proprietary metadata around. In practice that almost NEVER happens, since it's defined by camera firmware which, once debugged, isn't "enhanced". (right: they could do a newer model differently, but that doesn't affect the code which supports older models).
