Does LabVIEW 2009 support multiple monitors?

Does LabVIEW 2009 support the use of multiple monitors for development? Screen real estate use in LabVIEW is difficult. It would help if the developer could use more than one monitor.
In LabVIEW 2009 can you pin certain items to appear or pop up only on a specific monitor?
Can you have Front panels only show up on one monitor and Block Diagrams on another monitor?
How is this done?

Not exactly like this, but LabVIEW VIs remember thier last location when saved and will come up at that positiont, unless that is entirely out of the current desktop in which case they will default back to the primary monitor.
Also VI server supports multiple monitors too by giving you back a list of monitor rectangles so you could do a little utility that runs in the background to do what you want. Most likely you will not like such a deamon that pulls your diagrams and panels around as you move them on your screen, but you can try it out.

  • [SOLVED]Looking for a tiling manager which supports multiple monitors

    I use musca and I absolutely have no problems with it other than this :
    http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 04#p774104
    I also tried emailing the musca distribution list but it bounced, so I am not sure how actively it is being maintained.
    So I am on the lookout for a new tiling window manager. I know Xmonad supports multiple monitors, but I do not know haskell and I was hoping to find something else as well. Xmonad is also not a manual tiler.
    So let me know if anyone of you knows of a tiler that has the above support.
    EDIT : I have already looked at the Comparison of Tiling Window Managers over at the wiki. Infact I was the one who added Musca's entry in that table.

    "i3 was created because wmii, our favorite window manager at the time, didn't provide some features we wanted (multi-monitor done right, for example), had some bugs, didn't progress since quite some time and wasn't easy to hack at all (source code comments/documentation completely lacking). Still, we think the wmii developers and contributors did a great job. Thank you for inspiring us to create i3. "
    To change the border of the current client, you can use bn to use the normal border (including window title), bp to use a 1-pixel border (no window title) and bb to make the client borderless. There is also bt  which will toggle the different border styles.
    Examples:
    bindsym Mod1+t bn
    bindsym Mod1+y bp
    bindsym Mod1+u bb
    or put in your config file
    new_window bb

  • Auto-Detect Screen Resolution Does Not Work Across Multiple Monitors With Different Resolutions

    Hi,
    The Acrobat Pro DC (15.007.20033.2203) auto-detect screen resolution feature does not work with multiple monitors at different resolutions.  Acrobat looks fine on my hidpi primary laptop display (Razr 14" 2014) but is completely unusable if I drag or extend the application to a standard HD resolution secondary monitor. Dragging Acrobat from my primary desktop display to the secondary display causes the UI elements to become 2x as large as they should be and makes Acrobat unusable. 
    Is there a way to make Acrobat auto-detect the display that it is currently on? 
    Thanks!
    -Donald

    To prevent it from happing again, you can
    1. go to the Mouse preference and turn off the scroll zoom feature.
    2. go to the Universal Access preference and disable the zoom features.

  • Does the iPad3 support external monitors, allowing you to scan across two screens?

    Does the iPad3 support external monitors, allowing you to scan across two screens?

    Some apps, such as Keynote, support different displays on the iPad screen and an external display. The iPad does not span it's "desktop" across screens, though; it only mirrors.

  • Does LabVIEW have support for entering Urdu language script?

    Hi All!
    My LabVIEW application requires users to enter their observations in a string control which is then stored in an excel file.
    Now the issue is that the user wants to enter the data in Urdu language.
    Now my question is, Does LabVIEW have support for entering Urdu language script in a string control?
    If yes how can I implement this? If no, is there any possibility that National Instruments could extend some help in this regard upon request?
    Regards,
    Reeves

    My experience from Hebrew, which is also right to left, is that it can be done if the operating system supports it, but it will work badly if you include anything in the text which is not an Urdu letter. This causes it to be displayed in the wrong side of the control and is only solved if you add more Urdu text after it.
    One option you can try is including an ActiveX control (such as the rich text box) for editing the text and then you can probably get the text from it using a property. I don't remember trying it (my users don't usually need to input Hebrew text themselves), but I think it should work. I wouldn't have any hopes for NI doing anything about this, because it's considered to be a relatively small market.
    Try to take over the world!

  • Let's Be Honest / Save Time: Lenovo T430s (NVIDIA) DOES NOT Support Multiple Monitors

    There have been a few comments / complaints / articles around the web regarding the T430s and difficulties using multiple monitors.
    But since this capabilitiy is clearly documented in all of Lenovo's specifications and marketing literature, I went ahead and bought an i7, NVIDIA, SSD, T430s with the docking station and all the bells and whistles to facilitate 3 or even 4 monitors.
    Well please listen and let's be clear:  IT DOES NOT WORK. Therefore, to be clear:
    DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE AND DOCK IF YOU WANT IT TO LIVE UP TO ITS MULTI MONITOR PROMISE.
    In the two weeks since FedEx arrived, here is the deal:
    1) I fussed around with the dock and monitors at home and the office to no avail, for most of TWO weekends.  (I am not a beginner).
    2) Then, I spoke to Lenovo in Atlanta's tech support for THREE HOURS.  No results
    3) I spoke to Lenovo's "premium support" (paid) for FOUR HOURS.  No results.
    4) I consulted with a 3rd party expert on mulitple monitors who was kind enough to remote into my machine for another HOUR.  No results.
    5) Muliple parties have confirmed that yes, all hardware is working and yes, everything can be seen in device manager, and yes, the NVIDA card is properly switched on in the BIOS, yes I bought the i7 version etc.
    6) And just in case, yes, we wiped the drive clean for a factory reset, yes we unistalled and reinstalled all the drivers and yes, we even deleted the Lenovo driver just in case the NVIDIA driver was newer or better and yes, we double checked the settings in the BIOS again.
    7) Yes, we tried every connector in the dock AND the laptop:  VGA, DVI, DP and mini DP - in EVERY possible combination.
    And NO, IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. AT ALL.  Two screens, take your pick, but THAT'S IT.
    Finally, not one but TWO technicians asked me to not quote them (so I wont mention any names) but that in their opinion IT JUST DOESNT WORK AT ALL, EVER, despite Lenovo's claims / insistance that it is configured for 3 and even 4 monitors.
    So the final conclusion was only that Lenovo must have rushed this T430 spec / configuration / capability to market (including the glossy brochures!) before figuring out that something is missing in the handshake between the mother board and the NVIDIA card? 
    Or in the firmware re swithing between the Intel (internal) and NVIDA card? 
    Or something else which prevents the NVIDIA card from seeing the ports on the laptop or the dock?
    In summary 1) you get NOTHING from the NVIDIA upgrade and with respect to more than 2 monitors, IT JUST DOES NOT WORK, AT ALL, EVER, PERIOD and END OF STORY.
    I too am a die hard old school Thinkpad enthusiast and with the company's service could match their classic products.
    I have an X201 that I generall love, but would appreciate more speed, an SSD and I have to drive at least 3 external monitors, using at least 1920 x 1080 resolution.
    Perhaps a W series Thinkpad would work, but I also travel so going up to the T430s was already a sacrifice vs the small size of the X201.
    There are some 3rd party solutions but they are expensive and not so sure how plug and play they are with 3 or more monitors - what the T430s and Mini Dock 3.0 are SUPPOSED TO DO.  But they dont.
    Not giving up yet, but this has been a real bummer.
    PS
    Lenovo was very focused, efficient, and uncompromising when charging my CC for "premium" support.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thors,
    Thank you and happy to report, albeit after all the hours and now weekend number 3:
    1) For the moment, I am able to repeat the 3 screen performance using mini DP from the Thinkpad and 2 DPs from the dock to the external monitors
    AND
    2) For the first time ever, I am just now for the first time running the 3rd external monitor from the VGA port on the dock.
    That is what I meant by using the various ports on the dock, so that the Thinkpad can simply be docked and undocked without connecting the mini DP - the purpose of a dock obviously.  As stated in other threads and articles, various configurations of the dock ports supposedly work to achieve 3 external screens, but until today was not able to do this.
    That is the good news and thank you for all help.
    The bad news is I stil have no clear idea why this has been so difficult, or where the problem lives that consumed so many hours of my own time and many hours with Lenovo tech support as stated above.
    Some success seems to have happened only after more than one set of LONG updates to Windows 7 (?)
    If I can replicate this set up the office (where I have 3 of the same monitors) I will be almost there.
    Thank you again to all for help and support.

  • High PPI Support Multiple Monitors: How it comes that Remote Desktop implements the hight PPI support very well and win 8.1 doesnt?

    http://skovalev.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/RemoteDesktop-HighPPI-Perfect.png
    Hello all: i am using an High PPI Monitors from Dell XPS15 (3600x1800) and a Normal FullHD above it. The FullHD monitor is an external device and is set up as the primary device. Scaling is set to per Monitor DPI.
    Now the Question: how it comes, that my RemoteDesktop on the secondary (internal) screen has almost perfect implementation for this????
    BUT i am am talking only about the RemoteDekstopManager, normal one does not works with high ppi in this way... Also ModernUI has no problems with scaling
    http://skovalev.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Firfox-and-Resolution-RemoteDesktop.png
    NOTE that the resolution on the remote desktop is set to 1600x900 and there are NO scaling problems even on the 3200x1800 monitor!
    On both picutures you find the dell monitor on the bottom and the scaled original windows explorer/firefox on the bottom right. See how blurry it is? I really breaks my eyes :(
    I hope Microsoft can finally fix the high PPI Monitors issue, since the solutions seems to be already implemented

    No, i mean the Scaling Support.
    If you use multiple monitor, in windows 8.1 you can scale per monitor. If you use this option with a High PPI monitor, like ultra HD or 4K, the image on the monitors with other PPI than the main monitors appears fuzzy and blury.
    But there are also scaling problems even if you use only single monitor. This article blog describes it pretty good:
    http://www.hanselman.com/blog/LivingAHighDPIDesktopLifestyleCanBePainful.aspx
    By the way there are lot article like this describing the scaling problems, not only by users but also by professinals and IT magazines...
    BUT here it comes: watch @ my screenshots. If the remote desktops resolution is 1800x900 and the native resolution is 3600x1800, there are no scaling problems! HOW? So like you can see on my screenshots a native application on my monitor appears fuzzy while
    the same application runnin of the remote desktop has clear type!
    That means for me, that windows HAS the possibility to scale clearly, but somehow this feature is only supported by RDCM...

  • Why does labview 2009 32-bit closes up with no error message?

    Hello.
    I am developing an application using a PCI-6534 board, Windows XP SP3, and LabVIEW 2009 32-bits. In this application I am generating a 300 Hz signal using the P2.0 digital line. I am trying to make digital acquisition using the P0 port (8 bits), using N-sampling. The program that generates the 300 Hz clock, works with no problem. However, when I start running the program that performs the data acquisition, LabVIEW suddenly closes up with no error message. The LabVIEW windows just disappear from the screen.
    As for me it looks like a LabVIEW bug.
    In case anyone decided to help me, I could attach the programs so that you could check them.
    What can I do to solve this problem?
    Thank you.

    I had the same problem with one of our applications. I supplied gigabytes of process monitor and desktop execution toolkit logs, but nothing was resolved. I upgraded from WS2003 and LV2009sp1 to W7 64b and LV2010, per NI's recommendation but the problem persists.  I had the corresponding service ticket open for 3 months where NI said the application ran fine for them on W7 with 2010. (long story) 
    I understand your frustration, and I recommend getting your local application engineer involved as an advocate with application support.. If you pay for service, pound on them to provide it. My $0.02.

  • What MacBooks can support multiple monitors?

    I am shopping for a MacBook but I love having multiple monitors (preferably two, in addition to the screen attached to the laptop). Can older MacBook Pros (such as 2013) support two additional monitors? What about MacBook Airs (I am assuming not because it does not have HDMI)? Or is it just the latest MacBook Pro model (Retina)? To be clear, I am interested in extended displays, not merely mirroring displays.

    I would recommend you a MBPR with about 8GB of RAM to securely avoid lag and a nice graphic card, perhaps the GeForce?

  • FAQ: Does SpeedGrade CC support external monitoring?

    Yes, SpeedGrade CC includes Adobe Mercury Transmit for external monitoring via selected third-party video I/O cards on Mac OS and Windows®.
    More info:

    Setting up Mercury Transmit in Adobe SpeedGrade CC

    The Macbook does support dual monitors. I used it on the last presentation I did back in November of last year. It worked great. I did use keynote for that. Just make sure you set it up in the options of the slide show and it will work.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does LabVIEW 2009 revert to the old icon editor?

    Hi,
    I have noticed that sometimes when I am trying to edit the icon in LabVIEW 2009, I get the old style icon editor from LabVIEW 8.5 days instead of the more advanced new one with layers, gliphys, etc.  Once the old style editor shows up, there doesn't seem to be a way to go back to the advanced editor.  Has anyone seen this behaviour?  I have version 8.5 of LabVIEW still installed, should I remove it?  Do I need to restart my computer?
    Thanks.

  • Does Photoshop CC support dual monitors

    I just got off a chat with PS CC support. Since the latest update I have to click several times on photos edited in Camera Raw before they open in PS. The support person tells me that Adobe does not recommend the use of dual monitors. I have been using dual monitors for over 5 years, my computer has plenty of horsepower and every photographer or designer I know uses at least two monitors and sometimes more. It seems ridiculoyus to me that Adobe would say this. Has anyone else run into this concern? Thanx
    Jim Cummings. 

    Jim, can you correlate the delay with anything other than Photoshop/Bridge?  What drive is the Bridge cache saving to?  What drive is Photoshop's primary scratch space assigned to?   I'm wondering if those drives are needing to wake up from sleep mode.
    If this is happening with previously processed RAW files, could it be to do with their Sidecar files?  Do virgin RAW files open OK?  You could try converting to DNG perhaps.  John Nack blogged about saving a ton of drive space converting all his RAW files to DNG a few days ago.  Whoops!  I just checked and it was to do with Lightroom
