Bug in array indicator?

I found very strange behaviour of Array Indicator (LV 8.20).
If you look at attached VI, you will see that is very simple VI where only first element of Array should changed randomly every half of second while other element are 8.
But if I click any element in Array indicator and move mous cursor over it, its value is changed although it should be 8 (see attached video).
Does anyboby know why is this happening?
Thanks!

Waow... funny bug... A quick work-around would be to set the indicateur as "Disable", but then the user won't be able to use the "index display".

How can I change the precision of a numeric array indicator using property nodes ?

I want to change the precision of a numeric array indicator programatically using property nodes. I tried to see all the array properties but I couldn't find it. URGENT !!!

If you want to change the precision of an element in an array you must first get the reference to the array element. Then raise the reference to the more specific class of a digital numeric. Use a property node connected to that reference to set the precision. See the attached vi for an example.

How can I return to the top of an array indicator

I have in my UI a 1D array indicator that I will navigate to and populate with different lists of items depending on other selections. Always text elements.
I have limited the number of visible rows to 20 max even though some lists will contain dozens if not hundreds of elements while others may have less than 10. Problem is, if I scroll down the list for one population, then come back and the next list happens to have only 10 elements, the scroll bar is still way down where I had scrolled to earlier. It is basically showing unpopulated positions in the array. (Not blank list items)
How can I return the scroll position back up to the first element in the array when I populate it with a new list? I looked through every property node and could find nothing. Seems like there should be a method to refresh the display or it should go back to the top when you write a new value to it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Index Values, I think, is the property you are looking for. Set the index to 0 to be at the top.

Change spacing between "LED's" in 2D boolean array indicator

Hi All
In my application I am tring to mimic a LED matrix sign using a 2D boolean array indicator. Its obvious enough how to chage the size of the LED's in the array indicator but I would also like to reduce the spacing between LED's as I have very small leds with two much space between them!!
Could someone kindly send me an example or tell me waht steps to take using customize indicators function etc.
Also can this be changed programatically using property nodes, so for instance i can resize the spacing to mimic LED signs with different LED densities?
Many Thanks!
Tristan

Hi Tristan
You could try customising the boolean in your array. Right click on an element of your array, select Advanced->Customise.... You can then modify the appearance of the boolean to your requirements, using decorations for example to modify the spacing.
You will be prompted to update your array with the modified version once you have finished your edits.
Had a quick play, see attachments
Hope this helps

Disable array indicator but enable scroll bar ?

Dear All,
is there a way to disable an array without disabling the ability to scroll down with the mouse (scroll bar is also disabled if you choose disable in properties). The array indicator is clickable althoug not writable but causes confusion for the user...as if you can write something.
thank you .

Hi mbhatti2000,
- Could you put up a small example of what you mean?
If you just want to disable the array indicator and gray it out, then you can use the property shown below.

Hoe to cange the precision of an array indicator?

hey, i need to reduce the precision of an array indicator, but when i go into the properties page i cant anywhere to change this. any solutions?
Thanks alot.

Well, you're not saying if you want to change the display format (e.g. fewer decimal digits) or the representation (e.g. DBL to SGL).
Anyway, for both scenarios you need to right-click on one of the array elements, not on the array container.
See how far you get!

Setarraybounds to modify array get error-17325,wrong number of array indices

hello:
i tried to use setarraybounds(Locals.Raw_values,"[1]","[6][0][0]") to set new bounds value of original array[1][1200]
but get error: -17325,wrong number of array indices
and use setarraybounds(Locals.Raw_values,"[0][0][1]","[6][0][0]") gets error-17324,array index out of bounds
what can i do?

now i know i should use "[600]", thanks

Easy question - Array indicator and control compatibility

I would like to multiply the contents of an array indicator by a factor (polimorphism allows the multiplication of an array by a number, right?) but the product requires that the array has to be a control.
How can I fixed this problem?. Thank you very much for your help,
javier

I removed the Indicator from the build array - it wasn't necessary. Also, your final array is now 2D. See attached, I believe its what you're asking.

Possible bug: Saving array with extended and double precision to spreadsheet

If one concatenates a double precision array and an extended precision array with the "build array" vi and then saves using "Write to Spreadsheet File" vi any digits to the right of the decimal place are set to zero in the saved file. This happens regardless of the format signifier input (e.g. %.10f) to the "Write to Spreadsheet File" vi.
I am on Vista Ultimate 32 bit and labview 9.0
This is a possible bug that is easily circumvented by converting to one type before combining arrar to a spreadsheet. Nonetheless, it is a bug and it cost me some time.

Spreadsheet save bug.vi ‏9 KB

Hi JL,
no, it's not a bug - it's a feature
Well, if you would look more closely you would recognize the "Save to Spreadsheet" as polymorphic VI. As this polymorphic VI doesn't support EXT numbers internally (it only supports DBL, I64 and String) LabVIEW chooses the instance with most accuracy: I64 (I64 has 64 bits precision, DBL only 53...). So your options are:
- set the instance to use as DBL (by right-click and "Select type...")
- make a copy of this VI, save it with a different name and make it support EXT numbers (don't rework the polymorphic VI as you would break compatibility with other LV installations or future revisions)
And yes, those coercion dots always signal some conversions - you should atleast check what's going on there...

Display Bug with Wifi indicator

Not sure if this is the best place to submit bugs, but, there's a bug with the wifi indicator. If you switch network locations, where one has no Wifi adapter, and the other does. Switching to wifi-less, and then back to with-wifi results in a busted wifi indicator in the menu bar.
As you can see, Wifi is connected (Network Pref panel), but the Wifi indicator in the bar is X'ed out.

Why this coercion dot on array indicator from strict typedef?

Why is there a coercion dot on the second control?
I created a trivial 3 element array of doubles, and created an indicator by right clicking on it in the block diagram. That's the "CreateIndicator" control.
Then I did the same thing to create a second indicator on the same output wire, and from the front panel selected it and customized it to a strict typedef, saved, and applied changes. That's the "CreateIndicatorThenCustomize" control. It has a coercion dot on it, though. Why?
Thanks to anybody who can shed some light on this for me!
Solved!

Thanks, Ben!
Seems weird that this would be considered a coercion. Why do they do it this way?
Q1)
What is the falicy? Is it that you should avoid coercion dots because they force copies, and yet in this case there is no copying involved so the avoidance advice is incorrect?
Q2)
Also, different question, why is Customize Control grayed out in the front panel Edit menu, as long as another control customization panel remains open from the previous use?
Q3)
Finally, how did I miss this after all this time? Well, you probably don't know how I missed it. Actually, if you do know, it might be better to leave it unsaid anyway....
Q1 Correct!
Q2 Not being NI R&D I can only speculate that is was an expediant move to shut-down that functionality. It used to be possible to customize part of a control while customizing a control back in about LV 6. They shut it down making it more painful to do the edits within edits (you can save a control in one edit and then use "replace" to select it while editing the first)
Q3 I will leave taht question as an exercise for the reader.
take care,
Ben

Bug using array in formula node, LV6.0

Pass a 3-element integer array, containing values 5, 6, 7 into a formula node as input variable x. Pass variable y out. The formula node contains:
int32 y;
y = (x[2]-x[1]);
My result is 6. If the parentheses are removed, the answer is 1. Apparently adding the parentheses causes the expression to be evaluated as y = x[2-1];.
Has this been found/fixed? I have mailed NI separately.

In 6.0.2 it returns 1 in both cases.

Append each bit to the binary number (Not Array Indicator)

Hi All
If i have the 8 Number control. Each Control represent each bit.
i.e. 0th control bit="1", 1th control bit="0", other bit = "0"....7th control bit ="1".
How to output the 1 binary number indicator. -->10000001
Thanks
Best Regards,
Steve

I had solved it.
i use true/false case to multiply each bit interial.
i.e. For 8 th bit. If =0, output to 0, if =1 (i.e not equal to 0), output 10000000
For 7 th bit. If =0, output to 0, if =1 (i.e not equal to 0), output 1000000
Final, use "OR" function to build into 1 binary number.
Please refer the attached graph.
Anyway, have the other fast way to do this result??
Thanks

Colour in numeric array indicator cell according to value

Is it possible to change the colour of the text in individual cells of a numeric display indicator dependent on the value of the numeric displayed in that cell.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am not sure if i understand your question. Do you want to color each DIGIT of a single numeric indicator individually depending on the digits value?
Or are you talking about different numeric indicators where all digits share the same color for each individual indicator depending on the total value in the individual indicator?

Hi,
I have an analog array of TTL voltages, and I'd like to extract the array indices for where a crossing takes place (Lo-Hi) . Is there a vi that does something like this?
