Help!!! three numeric control three booleans

Hi guys, I really need your help. I am currently creating a program where I can select the button keys (A-Z and 0-9) from three numeric and use keyboard in order to turn the 3 individual respective booleans on to light up. I am working for a while now. Here's my program:

Sorry for not being specific. I am still a newbie in this. The program will run like this. When I select 'a' from the numeric list and i press on the keyboard key 'a' , the unlit boolean will light up. When i press 'a' again, the lit boolean will unlight. While the program is still running, i still can select different key like '5' and the different key '5' will still toggle it when i pressed it. The three numeric and three booleans act accordingly. Here another similar program i also worked on it but it can only use the other keys. I need to select A-Z and 0-9. I just need it to light up.

Controlling the Boolean Controls and generating Numeric Output correspondingly

Hello everyone,
I am working on a project of electrode activation, here I was thinking that how could I control one electrode at a time and generate a numeric output of it correspondingly. I want to substitute each electrode with a an LED on Front Panel and generate numeric value of each LED on Block Diagram.
So it can be divided into two parts
1- Control the Boolean outputs
Here, my target is that if I have 5 leds who are used as Boolean control, should be controlled in such a way that only one of them glows at a time and the remaining turns off.
I mean that for instance if #3 was glowing and the user pressed #2 then #3 should be turned off and only #2 glows.
2- Generating Numeric value correspondingly
Then according to the position of LEDs I want to generate a numeric value correspondingly, like previously output 3 was coming and the output 2 comes when second LED glows.
I request all the participants on this group to help me on it.
Regards

Thanks very much Dennis, Its really what i need.
But i have a bounding in the radio button to place all option together.
Since i am activating the appropiate electrode on the body, all the options could not come vertically or horizontally.
So can you pls guide me how can i make my 5 electrode behave like a radio control.
Thanks once again.

Numeric control question! help me.

can anybody help me?
For the numeric control,I want to achieve the funciton that when the numeric at range of 100-1000,the increment is 100.And at range of 1000-10000,the increment is 1000.
I attempted to realize it,but I found,case make the numeric reach 1000 use click up button to add 100 method,follow-up click down button,the numeric can't return 900.
I'm stumped, so I turn to you for help & inspiration.
any help would be more than welcome!Thank you in advance!

There are many alternatives:
You could hide the real increment/decrement buttons and replace them with small booleans. Now do everything with code. You could even wrap it into an Xcontrol (LabVIEW 8 only).
You could also use a value change event on your numeric control and compare previous and current values whenever the value changes. Coerce the input to the correct value (depending on the range and the direction of change) and write it back to the control using a local variable before handing the value to the rest of the code.
If there are only ~20 allowed values, replace it with a text ring containing the sorted list of values. Now the increment buttons will step through all allowed values only.
etc.....

Why numeric control accept aef but not cds characters?

I place a numeric control on the front panel. It is just a simple U32. When I click on it, I can type in number, its also accept letter aefpz but when I type in cdor s, these three letters do not appear. Why the numeric control accepts some letters and rejects others?

Hi trout00
Some letters are accepted because you can enter numeric values like 13u5 which is 13.5 micro or 1.35e-5. The other letters are for the different prefixes.
Hope this helps,

Programatically bring the cursor to a numerical control while VI running

Does anyone know how to programatically move the cursor to a particular numerical control while a VI is running?
I have a VI that polls the user for information, and at one point, the user has to repeatedly type numbers into the same numerical control and press enter. For a number of reasons, it is awkward to be messing with the mouse during this particular test. Each time the user presses a paricular button to send data a to file (which I have linked to the Return key on the keyboard by means of 'key navigation'), I would like the cursor to jump to the relevant numerical control ready for the next number to be entered on the keyboard. Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?
I have set up a separate key navigation for thenumerical control in question, so if the user presses the Esc key, this control becomes active and the cursor is in place, but I would like to move the cursor there without this extra user button press if at all possible.
Regards,
Will

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but it might do what you need.
On the block diagram right click the control in question >>create>>property node>>key focus. Now right click the property node and select Change to write. Wire a boolean true constant to it and place this snippit in the appropriate place(s) in your code depending upon your architecture.
Hope this helps.

Use scripting to create numeric control without inc/dec button

I'm having fun using scripting to do things that were formerly "impossible", such as creating a cluster programmatically from a list of variable names and their associated types (to be used in a subsequent program).
When I create a numeric control on a Front Panel, it has the Increment/Decrement button visible, by default. I wanted to create controls without this feature, but I couldn't figure out how to do this (or even if it is possible, though I don't see why not).
Any ideas?

Create it, then set its Increment/Decrement Visible property to FALSE. This property is specific to digital numerics, so you need a digital numeric reference to make it work. The property is all the way down on the end of the list.
Good thing I read this three or four times before writing my snarky reply!
When I created the new VI Object, I made it a Numeric with style Numeric Control (modern). When I scrolled down the list of properties, they stopped with Unit Label -- in particular, Increment/Decrement Visible wasn't listed. Of course, if I just "lay down" a numeric control, this property is visible.
So I played around a little more. I saw somewhere a reference to the "Numeric Object class", and you refer to "digital numerics" (??? aren't all numeric "digital"?), so I went looking. I found a sub-class of Numerics called NamedNumeric -- not sure what that is, exactly, but what do you know, it has the Increment/Decrement Visible? property!
Time to give it a try ...

Strange appearance of numeric control

Hi....
I encounter a strange appearance of a numeric control, see the two screen shots below.
Background: on a tabpanel, two attributes of several numeric controls are changed programmatically if I set a flag using a check box located on a different tab panel:
- the control mode is switched from indicator to hot
- the precision is changed from 6 to 4 digits to compensate for the space of the numeric arrows
These changes are applied to three controls, but only the first (top most) behaves unexpected, while the others are fine...
A) If both attributes are changed, the two upper controls look like this:
that is, the left most characters of the upper control are somehow overlapping, giving the impression of a fat O.
B) If only the control mode of the upper control is changed to hot, the following result is obtained:
This makes it more obvious that somehow the two left zeros of the upper control are squeezed together.
Interestingly, if I operate the upper control by clicking on the up/down arrow, the resulting display (1.0000E-3) is ok.
I was very much afraid of posting this mystery which could well be a stupid error of mine, but being unable locating a problem in the code I thought it might possibly be related to the tab panel problem reported here
Comments, suggestions?
Thanks, Wolfgang

Hi Markus,
thanks for looking into it.
I have slightly modified the example which now even shows the more dramatic case A.
Concerning your reply: I disagree with your guess!
1a) The control is large enough, actually I am setting a precision of 4 to have the number short enough
1b) If a number is too long, the usual behavior of a control is that you see only part of the number (or text for string controls), while here digits overlap.
2) The control behaves properly if you change the order of the function calls, i.e. reverse the order of precision and control mode
3) The control behaves properly if no tabpanel switch is involved: if you put the checkbox on the same tabpanel as the numeric control, everything is fine. This is actually how I found out, because in my original code the checkmark was a menu item until I decided to change it.
So my guess is that the visual update sequence of the control/tabpanel is flawed.

Dual Numerical Control Change

Dear Friends
I have two Numerical Control in the FrontPanel. Now I want to program Numerical Controls such that when I changed one of them the other one change susequently.
for example in the attached VI when I set "A" to 1 "B" should be automatically 1 to and when I changed "B" from 1 to 5 "A" Should be changed to 5 automatically.

Hi, V.S
You have too much event structure in while loop.
It will run step by step.
For example, when you change value A , and it will run "A" event but the last three event wait for user changing value.
The program is not to work, because it wait others event occurs.
You can add more case in one event.

How to stop text labels on numeric controls from disappearing

Got a nuisance problem I'd like to correct. When I've got a previously defined numeric control (such as a slide or knob) with text labels, upon entering the control properties window and selecting the "text labels" tab, the first label defaults to clear/empty. This is a nuisance because the text has to be retyped every time when modifying the text labels. Is this a bug or a feature? Is there any way to turn it off? Thanks.

Default value of a numeric control

Hello I want to fix the default value of a numeric control using his node property but I haven't found this attribute. It's possible to fix this value through the node property of a block?
I've tried to fix it, right-clicking on the control....properties....default value....but when I save the vi's and I reopen the vi's, his value has disappeared and value is set 0.
Do you know another way to fix this value?
Thank you in advance
Larson

The default value is only relevant when the VI is loaded into memory, not every time you start running it. Your code is probably changing the value to some out-of-limit value (probably 0 if your calculations are incorrect) and it is coerced to the minimum. If you want a value to remain constant, don't change it.
The answer is simple - DON'T RUN CONTINUOUSLY! If you want something to repeat, use a loop. That way, the value will only need to be read once, when the VI starts running. If this didn't help you, you should post the VI and explain more about your problem.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

Numeric control error handling

Hi all,
I have two question about numeric control.
1) "How to handle invalid inputs?"
Let say, I have one numeric control that can only accept 0 to +inf (Range). So negative input will be invalid data input. Whenever I typed the negative value on it, this control automatically changed back to default (min) value. What I want is that. Is there anyway to detect invalid user input? So that I can program whenever user input negative number, it will automatically change back to previous valid input (not default value).
2) "How to assign the dynamic range of numeric control?"
I used property node to assign the range but my problem is that. I assigned min 0.1, max 1.2 and increment 0.1 but I cant able to select 1.2 or sometime 0.1 by using increment/decrement arrow. Maybe because of floating points? And also I want to do when user input overrange value (eg.1.3) by typing, the value should go back to previous valid input.
Any idea? Thanks

You can choose how LV will react on entries exceeding a limit. The default is, that LV coerces the value to the limit. But you can also ignore the limit and the user can enter any value.
Nevertheless, if you ignore the limits, you always have to check in your software for invalid values!
Regarding 2) i couldn't reproduce what you described. Maybe you should post a little example....
For the 2nd part of your question, please see my answer above...
hope this helps,

Numeric control to hex(in numeric control) conversion ?

hi
I have n.o (numeric control ) which appears as hex display , I want to convert it to decimal number and reverse
can any please show with help of example please

Since you want to convert the number:
There is a very elegant way to do it in the control:
# Place a numeric control on the FP
# Change the representation to a 'binary' I/U 8/16/32/64 (my example is with I32
# In the display properties enable the advanced mode and enter all the formats you want to use
(Hint: new line is shift-enter)
You can also add some indication like
dec:%d
hex:%x
bin:%b
The nice thing is that all conversion is made by the FP on the fly whatever numerical format you change. Hey mom, look without any wire

If you are inserting these as ActiveX objects, these aren't the LV
controls, but those of another NI product, Measurement Studio. I
believe that you can go to the properties of the knob and change its
display style to look like the meter.
If this doesn't work, you might want to post to the other mailing list
specific to MS.

Controlling numeric slider with numeric control

Hello,
what i have is a numeric slider and
a numeric control. i would like to be able to move the slider and have
it update the value in the numeric control and vice versa. the problem
is that i can update the value in the numeric control when i move the
slider, but i can't update the slider if i try to change the value in
the numeric control. i was trying to use the 'value' property node for
each of them and and wire each of the controls to the opposite property
node. i know they are both control but i thought if i change the
'value' to an input then it may update.
i have attached the vi.
thank you

Well, since the event structure only executes when one of the controls changes, it is blocking the loop. Dataflow in action!
A quick solution would be to make the event structure "transparent" by adding a short and empty timeout case. Now just use a feedback node to retain the existing value if the controls did not change.
There are probably definitely better ways to do this, but they would require more fundamental changes to your code.
