Hmi wizard for indicators inside cluster array

I am setting up a config screen for use with the DSC and tag engine. I have an indicator and analog value inside a cluster array. Can you use the hmi wizard to make unique conditions for the indicator in each array element?? or would I have to use a sub vi to write the values to the elements inside the clusters??

Hi,
The simple control in the cluster or in an array will not have a way to invoke the HMI Wizard to create simple HMI code because the control turns into a more complicated control type. Using a sub vi to unbundle the cluster should be a workaround for this application.

How to create wizard for a custom mainenance view/view cluster

Hi Experts,
I have created 5 custom maintenance view and have maintained all the views sequencially and have made the first mainenance view as the start view & header entry and all other views are child or subview of the header view in a custom view cluster. But I want a wizard to help the user / end user successfully enter all the required values for all child views, it will help the user to navigate from the start view to all the child views where the fields of the wizard will be associated to the child maintenance views.
Please suggest how to create wizard for view cluster.
I'll give max reward point for the helpful answer.
Thanks in advance

Hello Pasapula
When you are in the View Cluster maintenance dialog (SE54) click on dialog "Events".
Below the field for the view cluster you have an additional field <b>FORM routines main program</b>. There you have to add the main program containing the FORM routines called by the VC events.
For example: I had defined a normal report containing an include with all the FORM routines. The report contains only the following lines of coding:
report zus_0120_u1.
* Common Data und access routines for user exits in VC maintenance
include LSVCMCOD.
include zus_0120_f1. "FORM routines for VC events
Now in the "Events" dialog of the view cluster maintenance you assign your FORM routines to the events.

Dynamic cluster/array follow up question - front panel

Thanks for the responses to my last question - they were great and fast!
I'm still stumped on how to create the front panel. It doesn't really matter whether it is an array or cluster. It sounds like either way, once I have it I can autoindex through it. The basic application here is that I have a VI that will store one XY plot to our database. I'd like to wrap that in a VI that will take N XY plots and store them all in our database regardless of what N actually is. So in terms of creating the front panel, I tried to create an array control and drop a XY graph in it, but it doesn't seem to like that. It said that I hadn't added an element to the array. I also tried to drop a XY graph into a cluster control and that cleared the broken run arrow, but wouldn't I have to know how many XY graphs are being passed in? It seems like I'd have to put one graph in the cluster control for each graph coming which defeats my purpose? Remember I won't know how many XY graphs are coming into my VI in the array or cluster. Anybody know how I can set up the front panel?
Again thanks for the quick replies!!!
Best Regards,
Steve

Look at the attached VI.
It has a single XY graph inside a cluster container, and that is inside an array container.
With this setup, it wouldn't matter how many graphs you pass to the subVI since it's an array, it will take whatever is passed to it.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

How to update enum labels when enum is inside an array of clusters?

Hello LabVIEW gurus,
I'm stuck with a design aspect, and was wondering if you could share some ideas as to how to get past it: I would like to fill a table with strings, and then populate an enum inside an array with the string values.
For purposes of discussion I'll break the steps into two actions, where one takes place before the second (sequential, not in parallel)
Action one - The user will be first asked to populate a table with "strings". The table would look like,
row0 - "string0"
row1 - "string1"
row2 - "string2"
and so on....
Action two - When ever the user "selects action two" I would like to populate an ENUM inside a cluster with values from "Action one". In other words, I'm trying to dynamically write enum values.
The cluster has several objects such as boolean controls, string controls, AND AN ENUM control (see attached .png)
I have tried using Ring, and enums at this point, and have not been successful at it. I read somewhere that because the enum/ring is inside a cluster, and the cluster inside an array, that what I'm trying to do is simply not possible. If that's the case, can you please throw ideas my ideas my way? :-)
In advance, thank you very much.
Cheers,

Is this in the full development environment? Is the cluster (that I assume is a type def) reserved for running at the time? Because what you described is totally do able IF you are not in an EXE, and this is intended for making an enum to be used elsewhere. Otherwise this won't work the way you want. An enum must have it's type defined at run time. Through scripting you can make the cluster or the enum, or edit ones that already exists (or use one as a template) but as soon as you are in an EXE you have no scripting, and even if you did your code can't compile, so you can't use the new controls even if you could make them.
But if you are looking for a way for a user to enter strings into a table, and then update a drop down with those options that is possible using the combo box which keeps track of the string selected, or a ring control which keeps track of the index (or value) associated with the selected item.
You gave lots of information, but not the important bits like how this will be used.

I have a for loop inside of while loop.when i press stop for while loop, i also would like to stop for loop.how can i solve this problem?thanks

i have a for loop inside of while loop.when i press stop for while loop, i also would like to stop for loop.how can i solve this problem?thanks

Hi fais,
Following through with what JB suggested. The steps involved in replacing the inner for loop with a while loop are outlined below.
You can replace the inner for loop with a while by doing the following.
1) Right-click of the for loop and select "Repalce" then navigate to the "while loop".
2) Make sure the tunnels you where indexing on with the for loop are still indexing.
3) Drop an "array size" node on your diagram. Wire the array that determines the number of iterations your for loop executes into this "array size".
4) Wire the output of the array size into the new while loop.
5) Set the condition terminal to "stop if true".
6)Drop an "OR" gate inside the while loop and wire its output to the while loops condition terminal.
7) C
reate a local of the boolean "stop" button, and wire it into one of the inputs of your OR gate. This will allow you to stop the inner loop.
8) Drop a "less than" node inside the inner while loop.
9) Wire your iteration count into the bottom input of the "less than".
10) Wire the count (see step 4 above) into the top input of the less than. This will stop the inner loop when ever the inner loop has processed the last element of your array.
Provided I have not mixed up my tops and bottoms this should accomplish the replacement.
I will let others explain how to takle this task using the "case solution".

Address element of only one line in cluster array

Hi,
I created an array of clusters. In each cluster the switching a binary element is supposed to activate/deativate the following elements. In my VI however either the elements of none or the elements of all clusters are activated/deactivated. Does anybody see, where I made the mistake?
Thank you.

ClusterArray.vi ‏21 KB

Hallo,
in einem cluster-array können nur die Werte individuell verstellt werden. Eigenschaften gelten immer für alle Array-Elemente. Diese Frage wurde schon im ni-forum diskutiert, z.B. um LED-Farben einzustellen:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=27375&query.id=12471#M27375
In deinem Fall hilft das aber nicht weiter, da ich nicht wüsste wie über ein Wert die Sichtbarkeit des Elements eingestellt werden kann.
Noch eine Bemerkung am Rand: die For-Schleife benötigt in deinem Beispiel keinen Zähleingang, bei indizierten Array-Eingängen wird die FOR-Schleife genau einmal für jedes Array-Element durchlaufen.
Vielleicht kann ja doch noch jemand weiterhelfen

Array inside another array

hi guys
is it posible to place one array inside another array?
something like
public double[] dblarray(int n)
double [] dbl2 = new double(n)
return dbl2;
public double[] dbl2array(int m,int n)
int n=10
double [] dbl2 = new dobule[m];
for(int i = o;i < m ; i++)
dbl1=dblarray(n)
if tryed it an it told me its wrong. does any one know how to do it or if it is posible since i come from ansi c i know this is posible in c but is it in java???
pleas help:)
thanks
jeliel

No, it's not possible in a strict sense. Java is more type safe than C - in C there is no real array type...
What you can have is an array of references (=pointers) to arrays of doubles, or double[][], and what your code does is more commonly written asdouble[][] dbl2 = new dobule[m][10];

Please help with the FOR loop and the array..

I was trying to place some words in the Movie Clip
"TextPanel" and set a
random position to each of them.
But it's not working.
1) I created a Movie Clip "word" and inside that MC I created
a text field
and gave it an identifier "textFiled".
2) The linkage name for Movie Clip "word" I set to "word".
3) In the actionscript I created an Array called "aWords".
4) Then I created a FOR loop that should
place (attach) Movie Clips "word0", "word1", "word2" and
"word3" to the
movie clip TextPanel, and set the textField text for each of
them to the
text from the Array.
But the script attaches 4 Movie Clips with a name
"Undefined", instead of 4
different names (from the Array).
What is wrong with this script?
var aWords:Array = [apple,banana,orange,mango];
for(i=0;i<aWords.length;i++){
var v = TextPanel.attachMovie("word","word"+i,i);
v.textFiled.text = aWords
v._x = randomNumber(0,Stage.width);
v._y = randomNumber(0,Stage.height);
Thanks in advance

But in my Post I already wrote v.textFiled.text = aWords
so I don't understand what were you correcting..
And one more:
I have tested it by changing the
v.textFiled.text = aWords; to v.textFiled.text = "some
word";
and it's working fine.
So there is something wrong with the Array element, and I
don't know why..

How can I set the caption text of picture controls inside an array or how can I choose which array element is assigned using the array elements caption text property.

I have 8 picture controls inside an array and I would like to set the caption text of these controls.
I have used the property node of the array and used the array elements property caption text to set the text.
The problem is however that I set the same text to all the picture controls inside the array.
My question is how to set caption text of specific elements (Picture control) that I have so far only been able to access using the array elements caption text property.

Some more help
1 You could use the caption of the array and place it in front of the selected picture and update that using property nodes.
2 Like Norbett said if you use a cluster of pictures then their caption can be updated individually.
Here is a an example that demonstrates the above

Cluster array to c structure in DLL

Hello,
I have a problem which I am stuck at so I would really appreciate any help.
I have this function that i need to access in Labview.
ViStatus _VI_FUNC Ki_GetSystemInfo (ViSession instrumentHandle,
void *systemInfo);
Now the structure for systeminfo is as follows:
typedef struct _SYSTEM_INFO
char pchModelNum[MODEL_NUM_LEN];
char pchSerialNum[SERIAL_NUM_LEN];
char pchSysSoftwareVer[SOFTVER_LEN];
char pchPlatformVer[PLATVER_LEN];
char pchOpSystemVer[SYSTVER_LEN];
int bCardType[MAX_SLOTS]; // Enum slot_types
} systeminfo;
When i use the call Library Node function to access the above function what
should be mine
input and out paramteres. I tries making cluster of 5 st
rings and an array
of integers
It doesnt seem to work. Any help shall be appreciated.
Premal

Hi Premal,
Try to use arrays of [U8] instead of strings. Also, pay attention to INT - is OS dependent (assuming that you are using win9x/NT/2000, use [I32]). If you try with strings, be sure that the input string contains enough characters to store the result.
Hope this helps
p.s.: take a look on those articles mentioned in "cluster array to c structure in DLL" [http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=137&HOID=506500000005000000C05C0000&HTHREAD=000023744&UCATEGORY_0=_49_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0]

Wizard for Microwave Office

Hello.
I am developing a wizard for Microwave Office, AWR Design Environment 10. The documentation that I've found is obsolete (VB_getting_started.pdf), because it refers to a non-existent windows registry key.
I have just developed the ActiveX class that implements the IMWOWizard interface, and it compiles and builds the DLL without problem. But I cannot make Microwave Office recognize the new Wizard into the Wizards list of the project.
I've tried:
- To use the option "Manage Wizards". In this option there is not any button to import the Wizard.
- To search the terms "Wizard", "Awr", "addin", etc... in Regedit. No clear match.
- To copy the .DLL into the Wizards folder, the main program folder, etc. No result.
- To search the Internet, forums, videos, manuals, documentation... Impossible.
Any hint would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance:
Jose Antonio Rodriguez.

Thank you for your response, but unfortunately it didn't work.
I've just created the key as you suggested and Microwave Office did not recognized the wizard.
The name of the key created under Addins is NameOfProject.NameOfClass
And I have also created the "Description" and "FriendlyName" values inside this key, as the "VB_getting_started" guide says.
Any other idea?
Thanks in advance.
Jose.

[Question]how to count the occurance of numbers inside the array

im just practicing my java skill but i cant get my program work can you give me guys some idea on how to determine a number that occured more than 1 inside the array e.g i have 10 elements and inside of my offset i have
1,2,5,4,5,6,5,8,9,5
and what im planning to do is count the occurances of the number who occures more than 1 and for that 5 occur 3 times how my program can know that i use for loop but cant figure out how to filter the occurances of numbers inside
my offset
thank's

Encephalopathic you said put - 1 instead i did - 2
public class sample
   public static void main(String args[])
      int num[] = {2,2,2};
      int index1, count = 0, find = 0;
      for(index1 = 0; index1 < num.length - 2; index1++)
         for(int index2 = 0; index2 < num.length; index2++)
            if(num[index2]==num[index1])
              find = num[index2];
              count++;
         System.out.println("i found " + find + " " + count + " same number inside your offset");
}output is:
i found 2 3 same number inside your offset
but another question is what if i want my program to tell the other number that occur 1 time
like this:
i found 1 2 same number inside your offset
i found 2 0 same number inside your offset
i found 1 2 same number inside your offset

Update combobox from cluster array

I am looking to update a combo box from a cluster array. The array is indexed then unbundled by name and the element I want for the combo box is selected. How would i update the combo box from here or is this method even the right method of doing it?

I have not lost my mind, it's backed up on a disk somewhere

Cluster to Array only works when the datatype of the cluser elements are all the same. Here is what I was trying to say. And by the way I sure hope your massive cluster is type def'ed.

Is how can I calculate how many transitions are inside an array?

Let’s assume that we have an array of 582 elements. Some of them are above 4 and some of them are below 1,let’s also say that values who are above 4 are equal to True (1) and the values below 1 are equal to False (0). The question is how can I calculate how many transitions are inside the array from 1 to 0?How many peaks I have? Can please someone suggest a code solution for that?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you only care about actual transitions and not the type of them, I'm a fan of the simple XOR.
