Generation of a glossary of functions used in a Labview project

Hello
I am writing a report which must include screen shots of every VI and sub VI in a labview project that i have created. I am looking for a way to generate a glossary of functions that were used in the project. I need this so people who are not familar with Labview can understand my code.
It this possible?
Thank you

Lynn's suggestion will not be able to go as far as giving you the documentation for Build Array, for example. Don't really know of a way to do that. Might be able to do that with scripting, but that's another story. 
<START PERSONAL COMMENT>
Speaking on a personal level, if someone gave me documentation that included all of that gory detail I would think they're just trying to "fluff up" the documentation. I see little point in documenting something that has already been documented quite extensively by NI, like I said. You can list the functions, but that's of little use since it doesn't document how you used them, now does it?
On a side-note, I think Build Array is quite self-explanatory, even if you don't know LabVIEW. And if you don't understand the basic terms "build" and "array", then you have no business reading the documentation or criticizing it in the first place. But that's just my opinion.

  • Determine which function uses DSP on LabVIEW FPGA Code

    Hello All,
    I need some help, during optimization of our code on FPGA (sbRIO 9606) we faced with problem where we need to know which function is using DSP and which function is not using DSP (we are talking about on board DSP48's).
    Now my question is: Is there any way to find which function is exactly using DSP (for example add, sub, mul and so on) and how many, in which cases it's using it?
    Thank you with best regards.
    Orbel

    Hello Orbel,
    I found this thread, I think it is going to be useful for you.
    Is there an obvious way to prevent an FPGA multiply from using DSPs?
    You are going to find a KB and a CAR associated to that forum. Please check this document linked below, it is also useful (explicit use of DSP).

  • SQL report region source to call a pl/sql function using DB link

    Hi - I have a pl/sql function fn_dbtype(id NUMBER) defined in database X. The pl/sql function executes couple DML statements and returns a string (a SELECT query). I am able to call this function using SQL Plus (Connected to Database X) as below and it works fine:
    declare
    vSQL VARCHAR2(100);
    begin
    vSQL := fn_dbtype(1);
    end;
    The DML operations completed fine and vSQL contains the "Select" query now.
    In APEX:
    I am trying to create a SQL report in APEX using SQL query(PL/SQL function returning a sql statement) option. I am trying to figure out what to put in the region source so that the output of the "Select" query is displayed in the report.
    Moreover APEX is hosted in a different database instance. So I would need to call this pl/sql function using a DB Link.
    Please let me know what I need to put in the region source to execute the pl/sql function which returns the "Select" query thereby displaying the query output in the report. Thanks.

  • How do I pass an array of structs to a C function using the dll flexible prototype adapter?

    What I want to do is pass into a C dll function a variably sized Array of structs of type TPS_Data. My Code compiles but when I run it in TestStand, I get an error -17001; Program Error. "Cannot allocate 0 size buffer Error in parameter 2, 'OpenFrdData'."
    I've allocated the Array of structs, and all of the information is there before I call my function, so is it my prototype? Or am I asking too much of the DLL Flexible Prototype Adapter to pass an Array of Structs?
    I can pass in a single struct of type TPS_Data and that works, but not an array.
    Here's the relevent code:
    typedef struct TPS_DATA
    char Report_Number[256];
    char System_Name[256];
    char Open_Date[256];
    char UUT_Part_Number[256];
    char UUT_Serial_Number[256];
    char UUT_Name[256];
    char Open_Employee_Name[256];
    char Open_Employee_Number[256];
    char Close_Employee_Name[256];
    char Close_Employee_Number[256];
    char Close_Date[256];
    } TPS_Data;
    typedef struct TPS_DATA_ARRAY
    TPS_Data DataRecord;
    } TPS_DataArray;
    long __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall OpenDialog (CAObjHandle Context, TPS_DataArray *TpsData[], const char *psFaultStr, char *sComments, const int nCount);

    OK,
    I can pass the data to the DLL function, using the following types:
    typedef struct StringArrayType
    char string[10][256];
    } StringArray;
    typedef struct MultiStringArrayType
    StringArray Record[10];
    } MultiStringArray;
    void __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall ATP_TestStructPassing(StringArray Strings)
    return;
    void __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall ATP_TestMultiStructPassing(MultiStringArray *Strings)
    return;
    But when the MultiStruct function Exits, TestStand reports an Error:
    -17501 "Unexpected Operating System Error" Source: 'TSAPI'
    There doesn't seem to be a way around this, and once the error occurs, I have to force quit TestStand. I've included the sequence file, and the dll code can be compiled from the fun
    ctions shown above.
    Any thoughts on how to get around this error would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to  use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on

    how to  use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on  attribute as key figure

    Hi Gayatri
    Did you not see my answer for CASE because CASE does indeed offer the use of the BETWEEN clause, but DECODE does not. Let me give you a little synopsis of DECODE.
    In its most simple form it takes 4 values and looks like this: DECODE(A, B, C, D)
    This essentially means, IF A = B THEN C ELSE D
    The trick to solving BETWEEN in a DECODE is to work out algoriths where A = B. Because we don't know how many values are between 00 and 99, although I could guess there were 100 we could of course have 100 parts in the DECODE but that would be awful. How about if we look at it another way and say this:
    IF PART_NUMBER < 'SDK00' THEN pay_amount
    ELSE IF PART_NUMBER > 'SDK99' THEN pay_AMOUNT
    ELSE pay_amount + 100
    This statement only had 2 hard coded values, but how to make DECODE work with less than? Easy, we use the LEAST function. The LEAST function takes 2 values and returns the one with the lowest value. So I use LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00') then whenever the PART_NUMBER is lower than SDK00 it will be true. A similar situation exists for the opposite function GREATEST. Putting all of this together then, you can do this:
    DECODE(PART_NUMBER, GREATEST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00'), DECODE(PART_NUMBER, LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK99'), PAY_AMOUNT * 100, PAY_AMOUNT), PAY_AMOUNT)
    In English this can be read as follows:
    IF the PART_NUMBER is greater than or equal to SDK00 and the PART_NUMBER is less than or equal to SDK99 THEN PAY_AMOUNT x 100 ELSE 0

    Hi,
    assuming action.do is the action method of ....../folder1/abc.jpf you can try out this in the test1.jsp,

  • Repost Function using Variable is not working

    Hello experts!  I am on BW-BPS 3.5.  I have set up a repost function using variables to change a characteristic value for Business Unit.
    1. I created 2 variables as Bus.Unit From and Bus.Unit To in the Planning Area. I am not using the variables in my planning level.
    2. I entered the variables in the parameter group New Values area for the From and To Values.
    3. My goal is when the user executes the Repost Function for a Variable Prompt should appear and have the user select the From Business Unit and To Business Unit.
    The Variables are set up as USERVALUE User-Defined Values, Restriction of Values required by user and I have tried with/without option of Input Allowed by User. 
    Can you tell me what I am doing wrong, I expected a variable prompt when executing the Repost Function but it does not work.
    Thank you,
    Teri

    Ravi, Thank you for your reply however I contiue to have errors or the execution does not repost (change any value) as noted below.
    1. I have 2 Variables in Planning area var1 (from) var2 (to) for the same charateristic which is Business Unit
    2. Business Unit is in the level,  on the selection tab to add the variable I can only add 1 variable, So I added var1 (from) to the level. 
    3. Parameter group for old and new values - I have Var1 (from), var2 (to)
    4. Report Function - are you referring to Reporting variables in BPS? I have set this up as suggested in the "How to Use Reporting Variable in BW-BPS" document.
    5. Enter plan data: I receive prompt for VAR1, mandatory. At this point there is no value in Var2.
    6. Execute Repost function - I receive an error to "Restrict Var2"
    7. If I set variable values and add a value for Var2 I receive an error "The generated data is not contained in the selection condition".
    Next I removed VAR1 from my planning level and turned on the option 'Selection in package' for Business Unit. This seems to work well.
    What do you recommend?
    Thank you,
    Teri

  • Whats the function used in objective C to change language in an app

    whats the function used in objective C to change language in an app

    No. Actually its a not uncommon practise in iOS. See the app "Where is my Water" for instance. You can freely select what language you want to use in the game.
    Another iOS app where the app does not offer this feature but should is XCom. For me the app uses German text with US-English movies and ingame speech. I would rather have complete english than a language mix, but I cant switch the game. I could swich my ipad to english, then the game would use english. But this would lead to other problems and its not really user friendly.
    Speaking of language support. It is also ok to download languages after installation. After all it is only data, no executable.

  • Demonstrating PL/SQL Functions Using SQL Developer

    Good afternoon,
    I'm starting to write some PL/SQL functions to replace some of the SQL that I use most frequently.  A couple of very simple examples would be:
    create or replace function func_test (p_1 number) return number
    is
    x number;
    y number;
    begin
    x :=1;
    y :=2;
    return p_1 * x * y;
    end func_test;
    create or replace function func_test2 (p_1 varchar2) return varchar2
    is
    return_val varchar2(10);
    begin
    select p_1 into return_val from dual;
    return return_val;
    end func_test2;
    However, at my workplace I haven't been granted create function privileges yet until I can demonstrate some examples, which is understandable.
    For the time being, without these privileges, is there a way I can build/test functions in principle locally using SQL Developer without the need to write the functions to our database? I.e. can I demonstrate the above in SQL Developer, but without wrapping in create or replace syntax?
    I hope this isn't too vague.
    Using Oracle 11gR2 (not logged in to workplace database at the moment for specific version no.)

    sb92075 02-Nov-2013 19:12 (in response to TinyPenguin)
    populating test DB with data is a solvable problem.
    You don't need client data to test code (functions).
    You only need sample test data; which generally is less than a few dozen records per table.
    Absolutely, of course. Our client database is pretty messy though, and includes data prior to the implementation of more recent business rules that I need to take account of. Useful perspective though, thanks.
    rp0428 02-Nov-2013 19:14 (in response to TinyPenguin)
    Sure, but then I wouldn't have access to all the data in our client database to test functions under various circumstances.
    Huh? Why not? It's your database so what keeps you from creating a database link to your client database where all the data is?
    Also, I suppose it's not good practice to constantly write/replace/drop functions to/from a database when developing them? Better to test the function in principle and then write to the database?
    Huh? Why not? What you think a dev database is for if not for development?
    Based on your two posts so far in this thread it's understandable why they don't want to give you privileges yet. Those sample 'functions' you posted are NOT a good use for functions.
    In sql developer you can just create and save the queries you use most often. There is no need to create functions for that.
    But if you do need an anonymous function now and then just create one using sql*plus syntax:
    Our IT department are pretty sensitive about how they allow access, even to the dev environment. As you've identified, I'm not naturally a programmer so the option to play around with the data to develop some representative examples about how we can simplify and devolve SQL reporting to more members of staff is useful to me. I just wrote those two function quickly for the purpose of posting some sample data, which I thought would be helpful. Thanks for illustrating how to return their output using an anonymous block.
    FrankKulash 02-Nov-2013 19:13 (in response to TinyPenguin)
    Hi,
    The obvious solution is to get the privileges.  If your employer really wants you to do something, they need to give you the necessary privileges to do it.  It's silly for them to tell you to do something, but refuse to let you do it.
    Failing that, you can install Oracle on your own machine, as suggested above.  It's free and legitimate if you're only using it for learning and developing.  Oracle Express Edition is very easy to install.
    As a last resort, you can write functions and procedures that are local to an anonymous block, like this:
    Thanks Frank. Yeah I'm going to speak with our DBA next week about privileges. I've got XE/SQL Developer installed on my own computer - I wrote those sample functions using them - I just wasn't sure how to call/return anonymous blocks as both you and rp identified to develop at work as an interim solution.
    Thanks a lot All,
    TP.
