Building SubVIs w/o Controls & Indicators

Must all subVI inputs & outputs be passed through controls(input) and indicators(output) on the front panel?
Can a subVI be block diagram only and be called/wired without using front end components?
I have several portions of labview functionality that I would like to wrap into small individual subVIs, and it seems odd that my only option for input/output is through controls/indicators.

I agree with TonP.
Also remember that subVIs that don't have ther FP open, actually don't load or update their front panel (with a few exceptions where needed, e.g. if it prints its FP programmatically). There is little overhead calling a subVI that does not show its panel. You can also hide connected controls or indicators if they are not to be used by the operator.
Of course you could write a subVI that gets invoked exclusively via VI server and communicates with the rest of the wold via global or shared variables... but why??? That would be much more involved.

  • Custom controls/indicators

    Hi!
    Is it possible to use custom controls/indicators?
    Or to "customize" those provided?
    e.g. change the background image of a gauge...
    Regards,
    Marco

    Unfortunately the answer is "no" for this version of Data Dashboard (the only things you can customize are the maximum and minimum values of the gauge and chart). But it's definitely something we're looking to include in the future!
    Out of curiosity, what's your use case? Are you trying to differentiate between controls, build a custom look-and-feel, or something else?
    Edit: Are you asking about Data Dashboard or Web UI Builder? The latter does give you some more customization options.

  • Maximum controls/indicators on Front Panel ?

    What is the maximum number of controls/indicators that can be used on the Front Panel (including hidden ones) ?
    Rob

    LabVIEW 6.1 can not handle more than 555 top level controls (controls or
    indicators with terminals) in any single VI. If you have more than this,
    the VI builds a corrupt description of the dataspace and once saved, the
    VI cannot be loaded successfully. It may not always fail in the same way,
    but it will fail. A workaround is to place controls into clusters. These
    clusters only count as a single control/indicator.

  • Control Indicators in inspection plan

    Hi QM Experts,
    I created MICs and assigned the selected set and assigned the control indicators. But when i create the inspection plan for the material and assign the MIC, system is not copying the control indicators from MIC.
    This is happening only in the production client. In the quality client, system works fine and copies the control indicators maintained in MIC to inspection plan.
    I checked all the configurations but could not find anything related.
    Can anybody help?
    Thanks & Regards
    Prathib

    Dear Prathib
    It doesnu2019t matter whether it is complete or incomplete MIC as far as copying of control indicators from MIC to inspection plan is concerned.
    If you are dealing with incomplete MIC, then at the time of inspection plan creation you need to specify lower, upper, target values, may be decimal places and selected set in case of qualitative MIC.
    Control indicators mean the various ticks that you choose while creating MIC in QS21, for example, Lower, Upper, Target values tick, fixed scope, or required, optional characteristic etc.
    I think system will never behave contradictorily in quality and production server because itu2019s certainly not a customizing issue.
    What I would suggest is, note down what control indicators you have chosen for MIC in QS24.
    While creating inspection plan, use this MIC. If itu2019s incomplete give necessary information and proceed. Select the entire MIC line and click on control indicator tab. Note down what indicators it shows.
    I am sure would be same.
    Regards,

  • Does hiding controls/indicators on the front panel significantly effect computer resource consumption?

    I remember reading something about transparent controls and indicators leading to overhead processing... does hiding controls/indicators have similar or ANY negative effects?

    There's a difference between "effecting resource consumption" and "affecting resource consumption" - I assume you mean "affect".
    There's a difference between a transparent control and a hidden control - Hidden means the VISIBLE property is set to FALSE, and certain optimizations can be done - it doesn't have to draw anything. If a control is set to transparent, it will still go through the motions of converting that integer to text (or whatever), and then draw nothing (the decision is made later, so more time is taken).
    A transparent control can still react to mouse clicks. A hidden one cannot.
    It shouldn't affect any memory consumption, except for a video frame buffer.
    It's not clear from the question whether you mean the ACT of hiding t
    hem (the turning OFF of the visible property), or the fact that they may be hidden.
