Event case with non-user action

Hi
I'm actually using LV8.0.1.
With this and older version of LV it wasn't possible to get an event case fired without an user action. (for example by changing the value programmatically.)
Is it possible in LV 8.2?
Regards
Yves

Yves,
You just missed the property node in your right-most loop. To create a property node, right click on the block diagram control->create->property node, and then select "Value(Signaling)". Value(Signaling) is different from "Value" in that it "signals" to LabVIEW that a change has been made, and thus an event can fire. See the image of the code in your right-hand loop.
Hope this helps!

LabVIEW Event Structure only accept user action?

Hi All.
For example, Event Struture responses to a 'BOOL Control' such as someone press the button.
But, if I use property node to change Bool control status, Event Struture can not accept such a action?
Why?
Any solution for monitor variables and controls change which is not caused by user actions.
*The best Chinese farmer*

You can use the value signaling property node, if you want to go down the property node route. The best way would really be using user defined events and wire these events to the dynamic event terminal on the border of the event structure. You can check out the examples that ship with LabVIEW to see the VIs that you would need to accomplish this task.
Hope this helps.

Can you use event case with labview real time?

I have a real time application I am putting together and until recentally have concentrated on getting the data acquisition working as expected.
I am using a PXI-8183 in a 1031 chassis.
I am now trying to add the functionality for setting up the system in the form of a GUI remote front panel that I connect to with a host laptop. I am connecting with the host as expected and it seems to be working well in that respect.
My problem is with event cases, operating in a while loop on the target. They just dont seem to want to trigger when i click on a button I have set an event for.
I have looked through the documentation and cant see any reference to issues with event cases on rt, but I feel I am missing something fundamental. Can anyone help?
Regards,
Barry

Table control values are not able to read with out a user action.

Hi All,
I am working with a module pool programing and I am calling 3 sub screens into my main normal screen.
In one of the sub screen, I have created a table control and getting the initial values from database and displaying.
Now I try to change the couple of fields in my table control and with out user action (not pressing Enter after changing the values in table control).
I try to save the edited/changed values in table control into the database. But I am not able to do so, since the change values are not able to pick.
My requirement is end user will not do any action(press the enter key ) and he directly presses the save button which is defined in the main normal screen.
Kindly suggest some solution.
Thanks
Geetha

Hi Geetha,
in SAP Default While pressing save button the modified value will pick up because
Save button will perform enter function also.

Clear memory of user actions

Hi
I am having problems with repeated user actions when labview is in the midst of runnning. More specifically i have some buttons that say take some processing time when activated and while the computer is processing it if I press on the button again (once or a few times) nothing happens. However once the processing of the first user action is finished then the second, third and etc... press of the button gets process, even though it had happened a while ago. I was wondering whether i could prevent this.
I have noticed that this occurance happens under a couple of cases. The first is what i explained above while the second i have noticed when I have placed an event structure within a case sturcture. The lock front panel options is off for the event structure but if the user does the event structure while the case sturcture is not satsified nothing happens ....which is good but then if the case stucture becomes true then the process inside the event structure takes place eventhough the user action did not happen again. To illustrate this example please take a look at the attached vi. Try pressing "mouse down" in the string 4 times and then turn the case structure true and you will see the numeric indicator increment 4 times.
It seems the user actions are saved in memory until labview is free to carry them out. What i was wondering is whether i can prevent this. The first case (paragraph) is more important than the second to me since i have able to avoid the second so far.
thanks

I am not completely clear on what you are trying to do but it sounds as though you are performing action inside an event case which takes longer than the time between two events. (My rule of thumb: Do not put anything into an event case which would take longer than tens of milliseconds to execute.) When that occurs I take it as an indication that the action to be performed should be moved to a parallel loop outside the loop containing the event structure.
If you have events for Start some Action, Cancel the Action, and Stop, the event loop would contain only the three cases. Inside each case would be the Enqueue function. Put into a queue the command created by the user action (Start, Cancel, Stop), perhaps as the value of a typedefed enum, and exit the case to wait for the next event.
The parallel loop would implement the Actions. It would probably be a state machine with states: Idle, Perform the Action, and Stop as well as any other states needed. It would sit in the idle state until a Dequeue function received a command from the event loop. The Perform the Action state would need to be designed in such a way that the Cancel command would be received and acted upon promptly.
Look at examples and design patterns for queued state machines and Producer/Consumer pattern.

User Event Case getting tied up for long duration in LV 2009 (with SP1)?

Quick question here...is there any decent reason the user event case is getting tied up for long durations in LV 2009.SP1? In 8.5 I never had an issue with my code doing this, though when converting to 2009.SP1 I am running into huge lock-up issues with the user event case.

I have not seen aby issues...
You are saying that the code from LV8.5 (unmodified) behaves differently in LV2009 SP1?
Can you post your code?

Is it better to have one Event Structure with more (10 or 15) cases or several with fewer?

I have several buttons and events on the GUI of my app to monitor. Would it be better to use one Event Structure with several cases (10 or 15) or have a couple and split the cases evenly? None of the cases have much processing to handle, so there is not a time lag issue. I am just worried about overloading the structure. One of the tech support guys mentioned that the event structures are not that hard to get confused.
Has anyone had any problems with Event Structures?

I use event structures very often in my code. I use them just to handle the interface and to run small code. I have had event structures that handled over 50 user interface events and never had a problem. In my personal opinion If there was any code to run I would let the event structure handle the the user interface event that fired a que in another while loop that handled the code.You can find examples on this, if not I will send you one. It is just good programming practice for beginners because it will alow you to build more robust VI's in the future.
Hope this helps

"NOTHING IS EVER EASY"

Can I have multiple event structures with the same event cases?

Hello,
I'm doing an application that reproduces the front panel of the HP6675A power supply. To achieve this, I have done a state machine with different states
(initialize, measures, voltage, current, ocp, ov, store, recall, etc). In each state, should have an event structure that catches the events of the buttons, like for example: if the current state is the Voltage mode and the user press the current button the next state will be the Current mode. For this in each state of the state machine should be the same event structure with the same events.
My problem is that the Vi doesn't work properly when I have multiple event structures with the same event cases. There are some possibily to do this, and how? Or is impossible to have multiple events? I have been reading some posts, but I don't find solutions.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Solved!

Or as others mentioned, make two parallel loops. In one loop, have your state machine. In the other, have just the Event Handler. Pass the events from the handler to the state machine by way of queues.
A proper state machine will not need the second loop. The "Wait For Event" or "Idle" state (whatever you want to call it) is all you really need in order to catch the user button presses. The setup is almost there. Maybe add a shift register to keep track of which state to go to in the case of a timeout on the Event Structure.

Fire non-user defined event inside another event

I want to call a normal/non-user defined event after an operation has occured inside a different normal/non-user definded event. Is this possible?
The reason I don't want to use a user defined event is that if this can be done this way it would be much cleaner implemenation. Also, cleaner than using a sub-vi which would require a lot of wiring.

From my experimentation with this, it appears that the fired event
will not actually execute until the event currently being executed
(the one that fires the other event) is completely finished. The
"time" terminal of the second event idicates the time when it was told
to fire, but it does not actually execute then. You cannot say do
steps 1,2,3 in an event, temporarily leave that event to do code in
another event, then come back to the first event and complete steps
4,5. If the second event is fired after step #3, then steps 4 and 5
will finish first before the second event executes. This contrasts
with other languages such as Delphi were you can leave one event
temporarily.

Sharing icloud calendars with non icloud users

Anyone have a suggestion on how to share my ical icloud calendars with non-icloud users?
Can't seem to share with MobileMe - and Tungle.com doesn't support it either. What about google calendars? Would that be a good work around or end up duplicating entries somehow if they're all synced.
Please advise.

Ok Apple... I was sooooo excited about moving my whole team to iCloud, I've already got us setup and our upcoming events are being entered as I write. Then.... I discovered.... The fatal flaw....
While most of my people are apple users, I still have an employee that isn't and isn't ever going to be. No big deal right, they should just get read only access while the "in crowd" gets the cool toys. Except....
See screenshot below, I can EITHER publish read-only to a url OR share through iCloud... NOT BOTH. So in order for my one non-apple employee to see the calender, I have to give up the ability for all the others to make changes... making this calendar service just as ineffective as the one I was trying to replace!
This would be such an easy thing to fix, but I suspect it was a conscious decision to incentivize more people to switch to all apple. Yet I just can't get everybody to do that, I can't force an employee to buy an iPhone and I sure ain't gonna pay for it. So I'm stuck. Next stop... Google Calendar.

Problem with non iPhone users receiving my text sent pictures. Can I make them smaller files? I know that is possible for email sent pics.

My bad, It was a Verizon problem. When they upgraded my phone they were supposed to remove all blocks on messaging . Found out they did not do this. All messaging now works. Thanks for listening.

Sharing digital files with non Adobe users

Can someone tell me how to share Adobe files with non-Adobe users? At the Adobe Max Conference, they mentioned that this was possible, but I'm not sure if this is something that is available now or just in the future. Thoughts, comments?
Thanks,
-JLUMBER

You first need to upload the file you want to share to Creative Cloud, then through the web interface (https://assets.adobe.com/files you can select the file in question, click the "Send Link" button near the top of the file list, and then click "Create Public Link".
This will make the file public and provide you with a link to share to your intended recipient.
It actually works quite nicely.
