Cursor control in labview

Hi,
I am new to LabVIEW and I just want to control the cursor in my code .Please find the image with this .In that when I 1st run the vi the cursor shoud automatically blink at numeric and when I press "enter" it should move to numeric2 and again when i press "enter" it should move to numeric3.
Can somebody help me in finding a solution for this?

The LabVIEW Help contains all of the documentation on all the properties and methods for the various LabVIEW classes. Books on LabVIEW will basically cover the fact that they exist and how they can be used. They won't contain full documentation. There are also examples that ship with LabVIEW that deal with property nodes. Just open the Example Finder (Help -> Find Examples) to find them.
To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the tutorial(s) and look over the material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free.
If you're looking for a book for LabVIEW, do a search on this forum, as this question has come up many times, and various recommendations have been given.

Manual setting change on Tektronix 3014 Phosper Oscilloscope when it is control by Labview IVI driver. Is it possible?

In my labview test program, I would like to allow manual setting change on Oscilloscope like moving cursor position but other part is still controlled by IVI instrumental driver. Is this possible. I found the oscilloscope is locked once it is controlled by labview and don't allow any setting on the scope front panel unless I power off and then power on the scope.

There is a GPIB command called "Unlock" that will unlock the front panel (see page 2-32 of the programmers manual). You will need to send this using a Visa function call since it is not supported by IVI. Unlocking the front panel may cause problems if you are using IVI state caching because if settings are changed (other than cursors) the state cache will be out of synch with the actual settings. So, I suggest you disable state caching using MAX. This will degrade performance somewhat. I also suggest you lock the front panel again ("Lock" command) after the manual settings.

Is it possible to create user defined control in labview

in .net we can create user defined contol in which i can put more then one control and,, can use it as single control when needed,, but,, how this possible in labview,,
actually in my program i have a tab control and,, in that tab control there are 8 pages,, now there are 5 different kind option selection for each page lets say "a" "b" "c" "d" "e",,,,,.,. so,, when i select "a" configuration for tabpage 1 should show.. "a"(control collection) on tabpage1....and,, same should b possible for all 8 pages............................. this can possible if its possible to create user defined contorl in labview
while in .net its very easy task i m confused here,..,.
i put these controls in another 5 different VI,,,, and tried to call in subpanel but,, i dont find the solution,,,

Hi,
I've tried to open you attachment but LabVIEW tells me it's not a vi... could you check it and repost please ?
I'm not really sure of what you need but you CAN customize you control in LabVIEW, it is not hard, you just have to know how it works
Sometimes being good at another programation language confuse you more than it helps because you try to do as you are used to... the difficulty it to "translate" functions from a language to another.
I do know how frustrating it can be when you think "Damned, it would take me only 5 minutes to do that with language a and after 10 hours with language b it is still not working "
You have to get in LabVIEW way of thinking, I wish you good luck !
A quick exemple... this might not do exactly what you need but it may help you anyway.

Graph Cursor Controls

On the graph cursor control (the 4 sectioned diamond that appears withthe cursor legend) I'm wondering what the top and bottom diamond do if anything. The left and right ones are simple enough (forward or back one sample) but the top and bottom ones don't seem to do anything from what I can tell. Are they just for decoration?

Dan,
I never noticed that before but you're right, in a multi plot graph the up/down diamonds will attach the cursor to a different plot. I never noticed before because I usually change my cursor style so as to not show the horizontal line (just shows the vertical stripe for the cursor).

How can i use activeX Control in labview?

how can i use activeX Control in labview?
please describe me step by step.
thanks.

Well..that was quite helpful..but now I'm encountering certain problems. I've attached the VI I've made.
I don't need sound at the moment so I dropped it. (Although I tried to play it..but all I could hear was a very annoying sound.) Secondly I don't want to display any date or time..so i dropped that property too.
Now when I run this Vi...the webcam turns on, the screen of videocapx pops up..then the webcam light goes off..and another pop up appears saying..labview is not responding..and i have to close it reluctantly.
I haven't placed the stop capture property in this vi. i checked it by placing it too..but that doesn't work.
I would like to notify that my actual task is to acquire image and then compare it with another one already present on my pc. I want you to please help me out..solve my first query then I'll proceed with the latter part.

Auto Tune prior to running motion control program (LabVIEW)

Hi,
I am controlling Parker Compumotor (404-LXR) linear servo table via GV6 drive and PCI-7344 motion controller.
The problem is that I always have to run automatic tuning in MAX when I turn off all the system and restart it.
Before I use the automatic servo tuning in MAX, the servo table buzzes and oscillates wildly. Cabling seems to be successful as linear servo motor is completely controlled by LabVIEW after auto tuning in MAX.
I wonder how I can just run my LabVIEW program without running Auto Tune step.

Hello Gino,
Thank you for using our discussion forums. Yes, you can programmatic load the PID parameters from LabVIEW. Tune your servo using auto tune, once you are satisfied with the response look under the Control Loop tab for the PID parameters. In LabVIEW use the Load All PID Parameters.flx and use the tuned parameters from Measurement and Automation Explorer as the PID Parameters input for this VI. Place the VI before the multistart.vi. This will make sure the correct PID settings are used. I hope this helps you out. Have a nice day!

Off the shelf XY gantry system controlled with LabView

I am looking for an XY gantry system that I can easily control from labview. I need a workspace of 11 by 16 inches with minimum clearance of 6 inches. I was wondering if anyone has used a commercially available XY gantry or has any experience with an XY gantry.
I have found these two tables/brands that already have LabView drivers
http://www.zaber.com/products/product_detail.php?detail=G-LSQ450D450D&tab=Series%20Features#tabs
http://www.techno-isel.com/tic/Catdas/Gantry3.htm
And this one that looks promising too
http://www.animatics.com/en/products/table-top-robot/animatics/table-top-robot/2-axis-ttr-xy-configu...
Both Zaber and Techno Linear do not know of anyone in my area (Loveland, Colorado or Denver area) that I could go visit to see a table and I would like to see a working system before making a decision to buy a new system. I have not been able to talk to an engineer/technical sale representative at Animatics yet.
I am looking at using the XY gantry to position a sensor over a tray of parts to measure some properties of the parts. The system I am designing does not need an high accuracy table (+- 0.005" is fine). I would prefer to spend about $10K for a XY gantry table including any required controllers and hardware.
Thanks,
Brian

You have a good start, but 2 other things that you need to consider are your load and speeds required. This will determine the mechanics of the gantry(ball screw, acme screw, belt, bearing type, etc.). It will also determine if you need servos or you can get away with steppers. You then need to figure what kind of motion you need. Point to point moves can be accomplished with non-interpolated controllers, but any kind of coordinated motion will need a motion controller that can do true interpolated motion.

MBA 2013 - cursor control lost with Bluetooth speakers and Acrobat Pro

When using Acrobat Prof to fill in form (using Typewriter) and have Bluetooth on playing audio speakers the cursor control in Acrobat goes hayware and cannot control cursor - ok when I close bluetooth and play music via MBA speakers - any fix except to stop using the Bluetooth and external audio speakers?
Using i7 ultimate - 8Gb RAM+512 SSD

It might be an hardware issue of course. But I'd start by completely uninstalling the Symantec software.

"Cursor" control.

I do support for a High Powered executive and philanthropist who love the Blackberry Passport but *hates* the cursor control within email.
He wants the trackpad-keyboard feature to behave like the trackpad on his beloved old 9800... is there ANY way we can enhance/emulate this experiance ?
Unfortunately I dont yet have a second one to test with, but I've just ordered one on the grey market (because Australia always Lags behind in this area >.< ).
But Any Suggestion is greatly appreciated...

Can you expand on what type of behavior they are looking for specifically?
For example, if they are having difficulty selecting text within a email they reading, have them tap and hold a word within the sentence they'd like to select. After a second or two, the word will be selected and if they continue holding their finger the sentence, followed the paragraph will be selected.
If they are having difficulty moving the cursor around when composing email, or writing a document, encourage them to double tap the BlackBerry Keyboard which will show the cursor. They can then move their finger across the keyboard to move the circle to the desired location. Another handy tip for fine cursor control is you can move the cursor one character at a time by tapping on the left, right, top, or bottom of the cursor.I hope this helps!
To learn more about using the keyboard check out this section of the user guide.

Simple motor control with Labview

Can anyone suggest a simple motor to be controlled by labview. I am interested in making a small scale elevator that is controlled with a labview interface. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. - Bryan

Attached is the vi for the program. I will also try and attach the C code for the project. It took a lot of failed attempts to get it working so I hope this works for you. I don't have a schematic for you, but if you look over the C code it should let you know. Also I used the CCS development kit 16F877A. I'm not great at programming in C so there is a good chance you can clean it up a bit.
I'll keep an eye on this post if you have any questions, when winter comes I'll probably work on this some more.

DC motor closed loop control through labview using usb 6008

Hello
i am doing a project in which i want to control the speed of a DC motor (PID control) through labVIEW 2010. I am having a DC motor, a drive unit that regulates the voltage to the motor by getting analog voltage from 0 to 3.3V ( it can be used for both directions) and i also have a NI usb 6008 board. The problem is that i can't feed the usb 6008 with the digital signal from my hall effect speed sensor. Is it posible with this setup to control the motor?? I can also try to use the pulse as analog input and trasform the frequency into rpm's. Then i am thinking of generating an analog signal to feed the motor drive. If you have any further suggestion of a probably better hardware setup would be more than helpfull to me.
Sincerely
Jason Chaloulos

Hello Michael
Thanks for the reply. I came across those topics before and all of them are trying to generate a PWM signal as output i want to use just an analog signal output so timing on the output is not that important i guess. i am struggling on getting the frequency from the digital input signal that my hall effect sensor generates. Since the maximum speed of the motor is 3000 rpm and with my tooth wheel the maximum output frequency of the sensor will be 300Hz which i see its way less than the limitation of my ni board. Is there any tutorial documentation that might help me with this one ? Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
Jason

Loss of cursor control

I have an HP Pavilion TouchSmart Sleekbook running Windows 8.
I have had trouble with cursor control since I took the PC out of the box. I called HP support and they had me turn my touchpad off. They also had me reload some drivers. Nothing has worked. However, the cursor continued to jump around the screen as I was typing - sometimes putting me at another position in my document and sometimes just going to the desktop and starting up another program.
It is now much worse. My cursor is going to the top right corner of the screen - it even shows a small rectangle in the corner. It is getting very difficult to control the cursor or click on anything on my desktop or in my mail program (Windows Live Mail).
Someone Help! Please!

How to use the drop event of the tree control in LabVIEW 8.20?

Hi,
I am using the two tree controls in my application to provide a option for the user to drag and drop item from one tree to the other. I have to validate the user selection. I tried to capture the user drop event using the event structure. The problem I am facing is, I am not able to drop the item even though i have wired a constant true to the filter(Accepted?) in the event case. I have enable the property(Allow droping) in the right menu of the tree control also.
While configuring an event case for (drop, drag entered and some thing like this) only I am getting the problem otherwise it is working fine.
What do i need to do to caprture the drop event ?
Is there any way to avoid the item duplication while droping a new item in the tree control ?
or how can i do this?
Thanks,
Pandiarajan R

Hi Pandiarajan,
I hope you are doing well today! There is a lengthy discussion on the Tree Control Drag & Drop feature at this forums post including contributions from the developer of the Drag & Drop feature:
Tree Control Drag & Drop in LabVIEW 8
By avoiding item duplication, do you mean that you don't want the same item to be in the old tree control or do you not want more than one item in the new tree control?
