Hello Sadan,
Use Tab Control for that.

  • How to update the variables in sub-vi on main front panel?

    hi~
    The problem is to display variables in Sub vi on main front panel.
    What should I do?메시지가 04-07-2005 03:14 AM에 julitan에 의해 편집되었음

    You probably want the slide to update while the while loop in the subVI is running, so you can't simply wire an output from the subVI to the main VI. So you are going to have to use some form of communication between the two VI's other than a hard wire. For this simple case I think I would recommend using a global variable. You could also use DataSocket or even write the value to disk, but using a global is probably the easiest method for this case. I've attached your modified VI's. Let me know if this works for you.

  • Reference to control on main front panel fails when subvi front panel is closed?

    Hi All,
    I'm experiencing an odd bug. In my code, I use a subvi to control a piece of hardware. This subvi has controls for all of the functions of my hardware.
    I'm changing the value of one of these controls from my main front panel by running a reference to a knob on my main front panel into the subvi, grabbing the value of the knob with a property node, and then updating the value of the subvi control using a signaling property node.
    This works fine when my subvi front panel is open but fails to work at all when the subvi front panel is closed.
    I'm new to labview , so any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Arpan

    What is your LabVIEW version?
    Front panels that are not shown are typically not updated and might not even be loaded into memory.
    The presence of certain code elements (e.g. property nodes) often forces the front panel to be in memory even if it is not shown, but I haven't studied it in a long time so there might be subtleties. Maybe somebody from NI can give more details.
    If it does not work unles the FP is open, open the front panel minimized to avoid distraction.
    Can you attach some code? Maybe there are better ways to do all this anyway.

  • How to show in the main front panel the progress of each sub Vi ?

    my program has many sub VIs, i wish to show in the main front panel the progress of each sub Vi; what is the best way to do that?
    atleast i need to show that each sub vi is completed, [can i add details on the main front panelsuch as: filename that is being read by a subVi, graphs plotted by a subVi, etc..]
    can i display a graph from a subVi on the front panel of the main Vi?
    what i hv done is attched as picture.

  • Multiple subvi's in main front panel

    Hello and welcome (it is my first post here),
    sorry if such subject was already risen, however I don't know how to specify it exactly in terms of LV nomenclature (I'm a beginner in LV) what makes it quite difficult to search the forum.
    I need to create an interface with user specified number of input channels (specified during application work, so dynamic loading is necessary). Each channel is to be controlled by subVI. I'd like to load panels of all running input subVI's into some container in a main front panel (similarly to subpanel, but loading multiple VI, not single one). Is there a container capable of this? Is it at all possible in LV?
    Regards,

    You can use multiple subpanels. Unfortunately the number of subpanels must be set during development. You could create a method of cycling through your various channels. This would involve loading and unloading the multiple subpanels that you do include in the UI.
    Another alternative would be to use a table or something similar. Have your subVIs post updates to the UI code via queues, notifiers or user events. Tables are much easier to manage when your number of elements varies. If you need to have the UI pass information to the subVIs it can also use queues, notifiers or user events.

  • How can I hide the main front panel when I run from the executable?

    Hopefully this is an easy question. I have an application where the front panel is not the main GUI and I would like to hide it when the program runs, but only when it runs from the executable. How can I do this?

    NIquist wrote:
    Yeah, don't do that. Executables built in LV require at least one front panel to be open. If it isn't, the run-time engine automatically closes the executable. I haven't checked recently, but I assume this is still the case.
    Instead, you can set the FP state to minimized (as suggested earlier) or (better) to hidden.
    P.S. one side point - the property and invoke nodes have a shortcut - if you use the Application or VI classes and don't connect a reference, they default to the current app or VI. That means you don't have to open the reference.

  • New report page and append front panel image

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a report using the Report Generation toolkit in LabView 6.1 which gets printed to PDFCreator.
    I have 4 front panel images that I am appending to the report, and I would like each image to be on its own page.  I am trying to accomplish this using the New Report Page vi, but it doesn't appear as though it is putting any page breaks in the report, and no errors are being generated.  Do the page breaks that this vi puts in only apply to text?  What is another method that can accomplish putting each image on its own page?  Simply creating and printing 4 reports will not work, since I need the 4 images to be in the same PDF file, and PDFCreator does not support appending to PDF files instead of overwriting.
    Thanks,
    Ian

    Hi Ian,
    According to the Help for "New Report Page.vi" you can append either text or another file to the new page.  Are you creating a standard report?

  • Main Front Panel Cluster reference in Sub VI

    If I create a reference to a cluster and then create a Sub Vi,  I can change
    the cluster variables from the sub vi. All works well - Until I modify the Cluster.
    This breaks the sub vi with a wire class error. Can I fix this ???
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Ben,
    You got a broken wire just because you used a property node for strict type definitions (not for generic). The VALUE of the property node that you used includes the information of cluster data type.
    My suggestion is to use a type def cluster, and use this cluster constant for "Variant to Data" in subVI. By using this type def cluster, you do not need to modify the main part of your subVI. You only need to change the unbundle item when you add/remove new element of the cluster.

  • A different Front Panel question

    Just to spice up the board, I'll ask a different question about the front panel. ?I have the X-Fi Fatalty board with the front panel and for the past 2 years have not used the front panel.
    My question: Can I pull the front panel and set it asideI don't use it and the ribbon cable is cluttering up the wiring in my, already cramped, case. ?Will it operate with just the PCI card?
    Thanks.

    Absolutely. I have used mine many times without the front panel. I add it back when I dont want to reach around to the rear to plug in a MIC and I certainly dont use my headphone jack on my center channel speaker for headphone output.

  • Printed front panel graphics quality (Print Panel to Printer method vs. Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi)

    LV 6.02 (or 6.1)
    NT 4.0
    I have a vi that the front panel includes all the information I need to print except that it is on different pages of a tab control to conserve screen space. I was attempting to programatically cycle the value of the tab control in a For loop and invoke the Print Panel to Printer method to print 7 pages of the front panel, each with a different tab page selected. The printouts were excellent quality but beginning with the second consecutive Print Panel to Printer method the on screen front panel image of the VI being printed would become jumbled (sometimes, by the time 7 printings were done, the entire front panel image would disappe
    ar and a bitmap of the desktop or underlying windows would be visible in the VI's panel frame) yet the subsequent Print Panel to Printer methods continued to print the panel as they should appear. The visible front panel graphics would never return to normal and the only solution was to close the vi (in the dev system) or exe (compiled) and re-launch. I tried a lot of things (like hiding the panel to print before printing and showing it after printing) with no luck. It appears that two or more of these consecutive invoke methods caused the problem regardless of whether the tabs were cycling, or even if there was no tab control and much fewer controls on the panel to be printed than normal. I also had the same problem with LV 6.1.
    Finally, I was forced to switch to the report generation toolkit vi's, I cycle through the tab pages and use the Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi to append each image to the report. This is faster and control returns to my program quicker but I a
    m unhappy with the printed quality of the graphics of the front panels. They are not as high of resolution as those generated via the Print Panel to Printer method.
    Any suggestions?

    You might try changing the way the VI is printed by going to tools >> options >> printing. Try the postscript and bitmap settings.

  • Opening multiple sub VIs (front panels) in an application

    Hi, 
    I am working on a small process control application. The main VI represents a layout of various equipment (pumps, valves, heat exchangers). Each TYPE of equipment
    can be turned on/off through a particular subVI. The subVI is displayed when the operator clicks on the component.  At the moment only one subVI front panel can be loaded. I would like to have multiple panels open at the same time; this to include multiple instances of a same VI and different subVIs.
    I have tried to set properties in the WindowsApperance dialog box but cannot acheive the desired operation. 
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Trust my personal experience: You do NOT want multiple dialog windows open.  The users will hate you and curse your name if you do.  You really want to use subpanels and limit what the user can do.  Subpanels are a way of inserting a VI's front panel into another VI's front panel.  So you want to have a section of your main front panel that the user can load whatever control subVI they need.

  • It is possible to open the front panel of a subVI more then one time at the same moment?

    I want to open a subvi´s front panel several times with each one operating independently. The subvi has a ring with several variables to choose to show in a graphic. The subvi is called from a button on the Main Front Panel. It is possible to, for instance, open the subvi and set it to show a temperature graphic and click again on the button to call another instance of the same subvi and select pressure for the graphic, keeping both new windows side by side? Will I still be able to access the Main Front Panel?

    Yes you can. You have to use a .vit (VI template file). There's an example here. There's also been lot's of discussion on the subject. I think if you do a search for vit, you'll be able to find additional information and examples.

  • Show front panel of subVI on a real-time target

    Hi,
    I'm running an application on a real-time target (14.00). On the main front panel of the application, I have a button who open another VI with the invoke node method but this component doesn't work with Real-Time taget. So, how can I show the front panel without this method ?
    Thank you

    Hint: RT = there should be no GUI.
    RT applications are meant to just run off on their own.  GUI is not part of a real RT system since that adds a non-deterministic process to the system, adding jitter (which is a big no-no in RT).  What you should be doing is making a Windows host application that can communicate with the RT system (via Network Streams, TCP/IP, etc).  The host application acts as the GUI/HMI.

  • Floating VI front panel

    I have question regarding keeping a specific VI front panel always "On Top" of any other front panels(Sort of like toolbar pallete floats over the "main" window in LabVIEW). I can set the front panel properties to be a dialog (ModaL) but then I don't have access to menu or any other controls on the other front panels. I can set the front panel properties to normal, but when the operators click on main front panel the other front panel goes to the back. We have very very very novice computers and they get confused and they can't "find" the "other front panel".
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    If you have LabVIEW 7.0 or 7.1, there is another selection in Window Apperance setup called 'Floating' that does exactly what you want.
    If you have an earlier version, this Dev Zone thread may help.

  • Displaying mutiple pictures onto a front panel

    Hi ,
    Basically what iam trying to do is have mutiple  images on the front panel.
    The problem that iam having is that when i load an image onto the front panel it overwrites the other image. What i mean by that is , that instead of having two images on the front , each time i run the code it loads the same image twice onto the front panel.I tryed using a imaq dispose etc but it didnt work. Iam attaching a file that is similiar to the one that iam working on.
    (incase i didnt explain it very well on my front panel when i run the vi i what to be able to load up two different images onto the front panel like below but try to load a second image it also replaces image 1.)

    you connect on both "IMAQ create" vi´s the same name. I think if you change one name it should work.
