How to copy VI and create new subVI paths

Hi all,
I'm still pretty new to LabView, and I'm not sure how to properly do this..
Basically I have a working VI which validates a chassis, but I want to use the code on another chassis. The only differences (that I know of) are the login name and password for the new chassis. I enter these two fields using string constants in a subVI.
If I simply copy the directory of the VI and all the subVIs to a new directory, and open one of the new .VIs, any of my changes are updated to the original VI. How do I break the links to the 'old' files?
I want to have separate directories for chassis "A" and chassis "B" with all the necessary VIs and subVIs in each, even if the files are redundant on the hard drive (in case the VIs or subVIs need minute changes).
Sorry for the vagueness in the subject, by the way.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you using projects?
Copy the code to your new location.  Create a project and add the folder that contains your code.  Use the conflict resolver to fix your VIs.
In some weird situations, I have also been known to delete the old project, resolve the conflicts for the new project, and then restore the old project from the recycling bin.

  • How do I edit and create new Spry2 menu items?

    I have manged to use adobe air to style and insert a spry2 menu - looks OK
    However,I do not undestand how to edit the menu items
    i.e. creating new menu items and adding new sub menu items
    On spry1 it was easy - just click the top of the menu and a wizard appeared at the bottom of the page
    The spry2 menu icon seems to be unclickable/greyed out?
    Can anyone help
    [email protected]

    Thanks for the reply - I already thought of that and I can edit the menu using code view (although I am not sure how you would 'see the sub menus in design view?) but I was wondering if spry2 has the same time saving wizard in the properties panel (as Spry1) that simplifies and speeds up the process?
    To restate the question: I can see a spry2 menu icon in the properties panel but it doesn't do anything as it's greyed out.
    Is there an option in dreamweaver (or adobe air which styles the menu) that makes a menu wizard work in the properties panel?
    If not then I guess I have to do it in code view - very tedious!?

  • How can I change and create new events?

    iPhoto for iPad seems to stick some naming convention for creating Events.  Is there a way to:
    1. change the Event name?
    2. Split events?
    3. Rearrange photos to certain events?
    pacpac

    It is very simple. To create an event, you can tell Siri, tell her to create events and she will ask you questions and at the end, the event will be done. Or go to the calendar and on the top right corner there should be a + and then you enter the information for the event and hit done. To edit the events, simply go tot  he calendar and tap on the event, there it will show you the information and then you can change it.

  • Copying home DVD videos, editing, and creating new DVDs

    Here is the situation:
    I have the 17" and this is my first Mac to own. I am computer literate with most my experience on Windows and Linux.
    That being said, I am trying to edit home videos; but they are already on DVDs. I got a LiteOn DVD/VCR combo recorder for my entertainment center. I have a camcorder that uses Hi-8 media and it is only able to use S-video/composite outputs (no USB or Firewire). I am using the LiteOn recorder to archive all my videos to DVDs because it has composite inputs. The LiteON has hardly any editing capability. So I want to take the "simple" DVDs I made, copy them to my HD, edit them (to cut out junk, create better menus, and give it as nice touch), and create new DVDs to distribute to my family and to get rid of old tapes.
    So in short, the process I want to do on the Mac is:
    1. Copy my family home DVDs
    2. Edit the video.
    3. Create more "creative" DVDs for my family.
    I have been looking around the website and reading posts and I don't see how to do this. I did try to create an image on disk utility, but it failed for whatever reason (maybe I am missing a step). How can I accomplish the three steps above?
    Please help.
    Thank you, Michael

    If these are true, standard video DVDs that the drive creates, there are a number of utilities that can extract and convert the videos for use in editing applications. A couple of utilities that people have reported success with are DVDxDV, Cinematize, and MPEG Streamclip (MPEG Streamclip is freeware but requires that you have Apple's QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component), and there are no doubt others.
    Once extracted, you can use iMovie to edit the clips and iDVD to burn them to a new DVD. Then you can use Disk Image or a third-party application such as Roxio's Popcorn to make additional copies.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record?

    I would like to use a popup to create new record.
    I created a af:popup by drag and drop a VO from data control to jsff. then, I created a button and place a af:showPopupBehavior. I was able to popup window by click the button.
    however, the window filled with the information from the 1st record. and when I select a record in table and click popup, the popup is filled with that record.
    How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record by saving the popup?
    Thanks

    You can have edit and new buttons, in the PopupFetchEvent identify button source (using popupFetchEvent.getLaunchSourceClientId()) if new button clicked clear the binding using below code.
    If you want to see empty fields, in the popup PopupFetchEvent clear the input component bindings.
    resetBindingValue("#{bindings.<componentid>.inputValue}", null);
        public static void resetBindingValue(String expression, Object newValue) {
            FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            Application app = ctx.getApplication();
            ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
            ELContext elContext = ctx.getELContext();
            ValueExpression valueExp = elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext,expression,Object.class);
            Class bindClass = valueExp.getType(elContext);
            valueExp.setValue(elContext,newValue);
        }

  • Reconfigure sales BOM deletes line item and creates new line item

    We are having issue with Sales BOM. Once sales BOM is reconfigure, line item is automatically deleted and creates new line item. These changes are not captured by reporting tool. Is it standard SAP behavior? if its not standard behavior, how to fix this issue?

    Hi,
    If i am not wrong, i assume you are using site instead of plant.   If it is plant , then "yes", we can have a order with same material being line item 10 and 20 with different plants.  Reg delivery, if the plants are configured to a same shipping point then you will have one delievery.  if the plants are configured for a different shipping point , then delivery will be split up.
    Reward if it helps,
    Thanks & regards,

  • How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory?

    Hello guys
    I'd like to know How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory but still keep their power of creating new folders in their personal 'my folder'?
    I tried changing the 'manage privilage ---- create folder' to deny certain user accounts, but by doing so, it also stops the user from creating new folders in their 'my folder', which is not good..
    I also tried going into these share folders and tried different access types such as 'change/delete', 'read', 'traverse folder' etc, but none of it work ideally. The 'change/delete' access still allows them to create new folders, 'read' access prevents creating new folders but also take away their power of saving reports..
    Any thoughts on how to take away their ability to ONLY create new folders in share folder areas without affecting their other privileges?
    Please advise
    Thank you

    Easy, on the shared folders root folder only give them 'read' or 'traverse folder' but on the the folder inside the shared folders root folder give them 'change/delete'. That means they can change anything inside those folders but not create any folders at the shared folders root level.

  • What is the diffrence between extends and creating new object?

    HI ALL,
    what is the diffrence between extends and creating new object?
    meaning
    class base{
    class derived extends base{
    class base{
    class derived {
    derived(){
    base var = new base();
    can u people tell me diffence from the above examples.
    THANKS.
    ANANDA

    When you create a new object you have to supply the class to which that
    object belongs. A class can extend from another class. If it does so
    explicitly you can define the 'parent' class from which the class extends.
    If you don't explicitly mention anything, the class will implicitly extend
    from the absolute base class named 'Object'.
    Your example is a bit convoluted: when you create a Derived object,
    its constructor creates another object, i.e. an object from the class from
    which the Derived class extends.
    Extending from a class and creating an object don't have much in common.
    kind regards,
    Jos

  • How can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it

    how can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it.  i design patterns but am fairly new to photoshop. i used to be able to click on the drop down menu in patterns in the 'fill' box but cannot now do this.  have i inadvertently clicked on something to turn this facility off?  i now have to go to 'preset manager' and manually move my new design to the first box and click 'done' so that i can use it.

    Which version of photoshop are you using?
    After you define a custom pattern it should be added to the bottom of whatever patterns are already loaded.
    For example, if you define a custom pattern and then go to Edit>Fill>Pattern, the newly defined pattern should have been added to the existing loaded patterns.

  • I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.

    I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music from itunes it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • Transfer assets collectively to new class and create new assets like ABUMN

    We need to change the account determination for a few Asset Classes that already have assets with postings.  As a result we must create new asset classes and assign a new account determination.
    Is there a program that would allow transfer assets collectively to a new asset class and create new assets automatically similar to ABUMN?  T-code ABUMN allows you to transfer multiple assets but you must create the new assets first.  ABUMN will transfer and create new asset but only does one asset at a time. 
    There are hundreds of assets with postings to be transferred from the old asset classes to the corresponding new asset classes.
    Appreciate whatever input you can provide.

    download the asset master data(original) and create new asstes using lsmw or any third party tool also.
