How to draw valves and tanks in labview 6

hello all
I am a beginner in LabVIEW. As a newcomer I have done small programs on blinking LEDs and controlling water level in tank and so on. Now I am doing a project on gas mixer. While exploring through the examples I saw a more or less similar example in the HELP option. In the GUI there were valves and tanks and pipes. Now my question is that how will I be able to draw these pipes, valves etc in the front panel of labview?
Thanks in advance
Rohini
N.B i am attaching the picture of the front panel.
Solved!

You asked basically the same question in July 2010, and it was indicated that the valves and tanks came from the DSC module. If you cannot buy it then you will need to use LabVIEW's Control Editor to customize controls. The LabVIEW Help describes how to customize controls. You can also search the NI site for examples, like this one:

How to Control the Valves and Pump with Labview?

I have started a new project where I have to control the valves operation through Labview 2009,using PXI 1031, NI 5105(Digitizer) and NI 6251(M-series DAQ).
The valves I need to control using the labview are:
a) Pressure Reducing Valve (open & close)
b) Remote control Valve(On & Off) with in-built actuator
c) Flow control valve(open, semi open, partially open, semi close, partially close, fully close), 1%, 2%, 3%..etc
d)saftey valve (opening closing depending on increase in pressure from certian limit)
I hav eto control
a) Hydraulic pump operation with in built gear-box
Please let me know, how should l develop the VI for all? How to get started?, any helpful links? If there is any example code?
Its little urgent !

If you are not familiar with LV, I would suggest you go through the tutorials. Then take the leap and figure out how to use Action Engines and State Machines (search any of the terms I used that don't understand, there are a zillion threads on them).
Then...
Sit down and write stand-alone testers for each of the widgets you are going to control monitor etc.
These testers will give you an idea if they really work the way you think, their character, and will serve as a "Sanity Check" when you think you are going crazy durring development.
THen integrate the tester so they can all work at the same time. This will become a utility screen that will serve you well when maintaining the critter latter in its life.
Only then...
write out a complete set of state diagrams that describe what you plan to do (don't cheat! ) and walk through them in your head until you are cetain it will all work blah blah blah.
This step is optional but highly recomened...
Compose a detailed set of documemtns describing what you have in mind and post them here (include the images, they will get many mor readers) and let people pick aprat your design.
When you have a final design, use everything you learned along the way to be a kick-ass developer.
Along the way post distinct well defined question on this site and as long as it looks like you are trying someone will probably reply and get you going again.

How to Exchange Data and Events between LabVIEW Executables

I am having some trouble determining how to design multiple programs that can exchange data or events between each other when compiled into separate executables. I will layout the design scenario:
I have two VIs, one called Status and the other Graph. The Status VI displays the serial number and status of each DUT being tested (>50 devices). The Status VI has one timed loop along with a while loop that contains an event structure. If the user clicks on the DUT Status Cluster the event structure needs to pass the serial number to the Graph VI. The Graph VI when called fetches the records for the DUT based on the Serial Number and time frame. This VI is a producer/consumer so the user can change the time frame of the records to display onto the front panel graph.
I have a couple reasons the VIs need to be separated into independent applications. One being the underlying database fetches tends to slow the threads down between the two VIs; the other is that they may be distributed into separate systems (don't consider this in the design criteria).
I have been researching the available methods to pass the serial number to the Graph VI. My initial idea was to us a command line argument, but this does not allow the Status VI to pass another Serial Number to the Graph once it has started (I do not want to allow the user to execute multiple Graph applications because the database query can load down the server).
Is there a program method that I can implement between the two VIs that will allow me to compile them as two executables, and allow the Status program the repeatedly send an updated serial number event to the Graphs program.
I have reviewed many methods; Pipes (oglib_pipe), Action Engine, and Shared Variable. I am not sure which method will give me the ability to use a Event driven structure to inform the Graphs program when to update the serial number. Any suggestions and tutorials or examples would be greatly appreciated.

I have used the Action Engine (aka: functional global) approach for many years and it works well. Something to think about is that if you make the event's datatype a variant the only code that will need to know the actual structure of the event will be the function that needs to respond to it. Hence, a single event can service multiple functions.
Simply create a cluster containing an enum typedef that is a list of the functions that the event will service, and a variant that will be the function event data. From anywhere in the code you can fire the event (via the functional global) by selecting the function from the enum and converting function specific data to a variant. On the receiving end the event handler uses the enum to determine the function that is to get the data and sends the variant to it. The event handler doesn't know or care what the actual event data is so you could in theory add new functions without modifying the event handler.

How to draw vertical lines in SMART FORMS

Hi Guys,
Can anyone please let me know how to draw vertical and horizontal lines in smart forms, i have to do this in the secondary window.
thanks,
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
In the window output options you have option of check box to get lines.
Then you need to give the spacing for vertical and horizontal.
Another option is putting a template on window and getting the boxes, but it is quite little bit complex.
Put the cursor on the WINDOW in which the lines you want.
Right click on it>create>complex section.
In that select the TEMPLATE radio button.
Goto TAB TEMPLATE.
Name: give some name of line.
From: From coloumn.
To: To coloumn
Height: specify the height of the line.
Next give the coloumn widths.
Like this you can draw the vertical and horzontal lines.
If the above option doesnot workout then u can try the below option also
any how you can draw vertical and horizontal lines using Template and Table.
for Template First define the Line and divide that into coloumns and goto select patterns and select the required pattern to get the vertical and horizontal lines.
For table, you have to divide the total width of the table into required no.of columns and assign the select pattern to get the vertical and horizontal lines.
if this helps, reward with points.

Naveen

How to create an exe file using labview and arduino?

I bought Arduino Mega 2560. I have installed Arduino IDE 1.7.3. I am using Windows 7 64bit version and Labview 2012. I started working after the compilation of LIFA_Base File with Arduino IDE and with labview.
My application is: I have connected my arduino to my PC via USB for read input/output pins. I have to read all the time an analogue input from arduino and I have to draw the graphical representation of the input. I would like to know if I can create an exe file of this application. I would like to use the created exe file to another PC without labview installation.
Please help me to resolve the problem.
Regards

Yup you sure can. With Application Builder, that is bundled with several LabVIEW packages you can make an EXE, and then make an installer that can include the LabVIEW Run-Time engine (free) and you'll also need the VISA run-time for talking to serial devices like your Arduino.
Then you should be able to run that installer on any normal Windows PC and without the development environment be able to run your program.
Note that currently Student, and Home versions of LabVIEW do not have the application builder since it is intended for learning, and hobbyist, not for distributions.

How can I make a drawing stable and not disappear?

When I draw some shapes in a panel, if another window goes over the panel, then the drawing disappears and I have to draw it again.
How can I make the drawing stable?

Encephalopathic wrote:
Of course you've read the graphics tutorials, and you are doing all of your drawing in a paintComponent(Graphics g) method override, correct?Encephalopathic is correct. If you want the stuff you draw to persist, you should override paintComponent() and redraw everything there. Just because you've drawn something on a component once (say, a line or an Image) does not mean it'll be redrawn the next time the component needs to be painted. You have to re-draw your custom stuff every time a repaint event is sent to the component, and that means overriding paintComponent().
If your component will have lots of custom painting done to it (such as if you're making a MS Paint-style program), you might want to consider drawing to a BufferedImage, then in your component's paintComponent() override, just rendering the BufferedImage. Check the documentation for more details.

How to draw a perfect circle and how to make sure it is perfectly centered inside a square

How to draw a perfect circle and how to make sure it is perfectly centered inside a square in Photoshop elements using the Ellipse option.

1. Create a square canvas.
2. With the Elipse tool, hold down Shift (Shift forces a circle). Draw the circle anywhere on the canvas (Shape 1 in this example).
3. Simplify the circle layer
4. Ctrl-click the layer to select the circle.
5. Copy the selection to the clipboard (Edit > Copy).
6. Deselect the selection.
7. Paste from the clipboard (Edit > Paste). The pasted circle (Layer 1) will be centered.
8. Delete the original circle layer.
NOTE: Step 6 is the key. This guarantees that the pasted circle will be centered.
If you want a circle completely within a square you can simply draw and simplify a circle on any shape canvas. Ctlrl-click the circle to to select it and copy to the clipboard.
Then do File > New from Clipboard. This creates the circle cropped to a square on transparent background.

How to draw and modify double lines with Adobe Illustrator?

I need tot draw roadmaps. This should be easy using the pen tool, but my problem is that I cannot find a way to draw double lines with this tool. I have seen many fancy border styles and patterns. Some do have double or even quadruple lines, but the problem is than that they have an offset from the vector line and the space in between the two lines (the edges of the road) cannot be filled. Somewere I also found some pens called 'Double line 1.1' to 'Double line 1.6' but they also had an offset from the vector and I could not chance the size of the lines and the interval in between them independently.
What I am looking for is a way to draw two lines in parallel and have the option tot fill the space in between with a color or even a pattern.
The color and size of the lines should be changeable to make a distinction between several types of road.
Is there an existing set of pencils for this purpose? It would be nice to be able to draw not only roads, but also railways and rivers!
I am surely not the first person who needs to do this?
I use AI version 6

Jacob,
Thanks for the answer. I have been searching for a solutions for a long
time, but today I found the solution on a forum (not on this one). That
solution is exactly as you described below, i.e. using a coloured line and a
narrower white line on top of the first one. My problem was that I did not
know how to create a custom brush based on the two lines. Now I know how to
do that. However, I still have the problem. I can now draw double lines and
I can change the color of the background line (the coloured one) but I
cannot change the white colour of the narrower line. I assume that I have to
completely redefine a new brush when I need to change that colour too.

Rob Kole

How to draw a globe with lines of lattitude and longitude?

I'm using CS4 on a Mac.
Can anyone tell me how to draw a globe with a grid? I need 7 lines of latitude and 40 lines of longitude (i.e. separated by 9 degrees). I would like to have each segment of the grid defined as shape so I can fill each one with a different color.

Maybe this way can help.....

How to draw a line of sin x and its area under the line?

Hi,
I know how to draw a line from two points. However, I do not know how to draw a line of function sin(x) and its area under the line. Anyone know where to read or how can I draw it, please help me. Thanks !!
Calvin

use Graphics2D:: draw(Shape)
create a class that implements Shape, and specifically the getPathIterator methods, in these methods you should return a path iterator that follows the sin/cos curve.
All fairly simple to do.
