HOW TO GET OSCILLISCOPE "Screen Capture" ON THE FRONT-PANEL?????

Hi All,
I have a lot of parameters displayed on the Tektronix Oscilliscope like the trigger level, the frequrncy,CH1 T/Div and probably many others along with the Waveform(obviuosly!).
I need to capture this exact oscilloscope screen on the Front Panel.
Kindly help me out in this!,
regards,
Vikram

This one has the driver for your "Tektronix 2440 Oscilloscope" and the oscilloscope can be hooked up to the computer via the GPIB port. THe details are given in the link....
If the link does not work I have attatched the drivers.....
Good Luck.

Screen capture of the front panel automatically

I've got a VI that analyzes a data file and outputs a graph, some numbers/notes, and a pass/fail message to the front panel each time we run it. I want to be able to automatically save all that data into one easy-to-access file (no html) after running it, and ideally this would be accomplished by just capturing the screen of the front panel and saving it as a .jpg.
I've looked up how to do this on the forums and searching the web, but no solutions have come up. I've looked at the "Get Image" method, but that only lets me get the image of one object in the front panel, and not the entire front panel screen. I read something about referencing the front panel as an global, and inputting that into the "Get Image" method, but I can't get that to work and don't know if that's possible.
Is there a way to make a straightforward automatic screen capture of the VI front panel? How can I program that? (Manually using the "pinrt screen" function off the keyboard and copying and pasting it won't be feasible for this application).
-- Thanks for the guidance

No sure why you couldn't find a reference to it but there is the VI method Get Panel Image.

How can I make an area of the front-panel have scroll bars?

I'm writing a VI that provides many options to the user. The front-panel is large and contains many controls ~130 of them, it's divided up visually to match the workings of the system the VI controls. One particular functional block has very many control options though these are rarely used. I can't fit all of the controls I need onto the screen area I have available.
What I would like is a way of making an area of the screen with scroll bars on it. I don't need any more than that, just an expansion of the front-panel area I have available. The "Sub-Panel" feature provides the scroll bars. But, a Sub-Panel is a way of accessing another VI, I don't want to do that. I could put the extra controls on the far-left or far-right of everything else and get the user to scroll the main scroll bars at the edges of the screen. The problem with that is that I it would mean couldn't lay out my front panel to match the system block-diagram as I have so far.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I know I can show the scroll bars at the edge of the VI. In my case that's not very useful. The front panel shows a block diagram of a system. It's made up of a set of clusters which control various parts of the system. I want to keep this layout because it's very useful in explaining to people new to the system how it works. I inherited that approach from a previous iteration of the program for an older system. The problem I have is that the new system has far more control parameters for one of the blocks. Unfortunately it's one of the blocks in the middle of the block diagram. If it were one at the left, right, top or bottom it would be no problem because the main scrollbars could be used.
I can use a tab-control, that's my fall-back plan. The problem is that would be abusing the purpose of the tab control. In a tab control each tab is supposed to deal with a group of controls that have a common connection. So, all the things in tab #1 are supposed to be connected in some way and all the things in tab #2 are supposed to be connected in some way. There not supposed to be a way of gaining more screen space.
The controls I'm dealing with are numeric controls, switches and rings.

How do you control LED lights on the front panel to identify the number of steps a stepper motor has taken?

I am controlling a stepper motor that is coupled with a valve with four outlets (using an Arduino). I've got a general understanding of how to control the motor, but I want LED lights on the front panel to light up that indicate which outlet the valve is currently at after the steps are taken. The method I'm thinking about involves a lot of repetitive code. I'm not that experienced with LabVIEW, I'm assuming I need some sort of loop structure but I don't know how to set it up in order to control the sequence of the LEDs. I've attached my current block diagram for a visual aid if needed.

I was thinking about using the Stepper To Go and Stepper Write functions four separate times, using the same constants for the steps each time since the distance between each outlet is equivalent. The only difference would be what's connected to the "steps remaining" node, which would be the function that activates one of the four LEDs (if that makes sense). I was thinking that doing it this way would be a little counterintuitive since the only thing that needs to be changed is the LED indicator.

How to: display large error note in the front panel?

hi guys,
When "error out" has an error, I would like to display HUGE RED TEXT in the FRONT PANEL saying: "STOP, ERROR DETECTED!" )
How to do that?
Thanks for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Place an indicator on the panel. Set the text to HUGE and RED, and set its value to "STOP, ERROR DETECTED!". Make it not visible. When you get an error, use the "Visible" property node to display it.
To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the tutorial(s) and look over the material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free.

How do I center and/or maximize the front panel on every event?

Hi,
So basically I have a little issue with trying to maximize and then scale back a VI's front panel every time a user selects a different option from a ring control.
So far i've been using the LVWINUTIL.LLB and the provided window size vi to set the size I want on ring selection change which works fine, but as far as centering the VI goes, the method I'm calling only works the first time. After it maximizes and I select a different option on my ring control which is linked to a case within a while loop it simply resizes to the size i set which is correct but when I got back to the ring case which is supposed to maximize the front panel again, it doesn't do it. Centralizing the FP also only works once.
I'm using FP.Run-Time Position.Centered to try and center the VI....only works once. I do understand that this might be the desired behavior since the name is run-time position meaning it'll only do this when the VI is first run, however I need this to happen more then once, how can i do this? Thanks...

How did you center the FP?
Their a method that should work time after time.

How to get Labview RT to Display a Front Panel on the Graphics port

I suspect that this post belongs on the feature request board but I'll ask anyway.
Most of my systems require a seperate PC for a SCADA/HMI/User interface linked to the RT controller using Network Published Shared Variables.
I understand that Remote Panels and Web Interfaces are also an option, bu still requires a PC to Access them.
I use high end RT controllers such as PXI, CRIO, and of 3 hours ago Desktop PC's.
Each has a DVI or VGA port connected to a graphics processor.
What I would like to be able to do is display my main VI front Panel to a connected monitor.
A possible solution is to use a windows OS but it is no good for a precision realtime system.
Any thoughts?

Dan,
As above, Web interface still requires additional hardware of some sort.
Apple is a closed system so loads of prlems with 1/2 the market,
I am warming up to the hypervisor, I just don't like the idea of it taking out an entire core (on a dual core system). And needing a windows licence to go with it as well.
A quad Core PXI puts a gaping hole in my budget, makes a second PC not seem so expensive.
Would be great if I could get it on a Desktop, quad cores are pretty cheap now.

How do I print a part of the front panel?

I am interested in printing a part of my front panel as one page instead of printing the entire front panel. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks!

Hi Nes,
This is the second time you are posting a variation on this question.
I was about to so NO YOU CAN'T...
but then I thought...
It is possible to print just parts of a front panel but it is a lot easier to do the things others have suggested.
If you really want to print just a part of the FP you will have to do a lot of coding and the GUI will do some strange things in the process.
I will outline the process and leave the code as an exercise for the reader.
Using property nodes determine where on the FP the objects of interest are located.
Again using property nodes, move the objects around on the FP so that they are grouped together and sized such they fit on a printed page.
Using property nodes adjust the screen size origin etc so only
the objects of interest are now visable.
Using.....nodes print only the visable part of the screen.
Using....nodes put everything back where is was when you started!
Like I said, this is not easy.
The simplest solution was suggested by BJD who said group the objects of interest on a tab page, use an invoke node to get the image and then display it on the FP of a sub-VI set to print on completion. That method will let you quickly add new interesting objects to the print out without having to change the sub-VI.

How to display some html code in the front panel

Hello.
I am trying to properly display a few lines of html code in some kind of indicator on my front panel.
I was trying to use an ActiveX container with MS IE in it, but all the methods I find are to make it navigate to a given URL. I did not find any method or property by which I could give it some html code and it would display it.
Anybody know of a way to do this? It does not have to be using ActiveX or MS IE.
Thanks in advance,
Alejandro

Here is a simple way using the activeX that I have embedded in some programs in the past. You will have to call the file path to show the file.
Hope this helps some.

How to get my photo files on the left panel for easy access?

I was watching a informational video about adobe photoshop. I have been opening my pictures file from my computer and dragging the pictures from the my computer window to the project bin and then each picture pops up in a window overlapping eachtother. in the video i watched, she easily accessed her pictures from her computer files from a pane in the left side of adobe Can anyone help me? Im very new to this and need all the help i can get in the simplest terms thanks!

I assume you are talking about Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor...
There is a Project bin which is shown in the bottom by default and can be moved to left. Project Bin displays all the files currently open in Editor.

How to send 20 individual pictures to the front panel ?

Hi LabVIEW experts!
I have a lung simulator which I connected to the Ni 9205 and could read voltage from. I wrote the program and it works well. I want to use this program for taking an exam of some trainees. Now I have a problem. I need the trainees to look at the graphs and when they want additonal information by pressing a button, a picture of an xray or lab data related to that patient shows on their monitor. Case by case is different. I have for example 20 lab data from different patients with their xrays. How can I control the trainee program to send a picture which is related to that patient?
Thanks.

Yes.
You just need to have your LabVIEW code programmed to do that. You can convert the picture data to a stream of bytes (look at typecast or flatten to string) on the sender. Use TCP/IP functions to send the data over the network.
The receiver will do the reverse (typecast back to an image, or unflatten from string) and send it to the picture indicator.
Look at the functions
I would recommend looking at the online LabVIEW tutorials

How to make non-visible Control on Front Panel Appear at Design Time?

I have some Controls on the Front Panel whose visibility is changed (turned on or off) at Run Time. The problem is that if I stop the Run time, the Visibility of the Control remains in the runtime state in Design mode. So I may not be able to see or find the Control to make changes in Deisgn mode.
How can I make all Controls on the Front Panel visible, or find and make visible a Control on the Front Panel whose Visibility has been made False?
THANKS.
Solved!

How to get a check box on the selection screen

Hi all
can any body tell me how to get a check box on the selection screen

parameter: pa_check as checkbox.
To define the input field of a parameter as a checkbox, you use the following syntax:
PARAMETERS <p> ...... AS CHECKBOX ......
Parameter <p> is created with type C and length 1. In this case, you may not use the additions TYPE and LIKE. Valid values for <p> are ' ' and 'X'. These values are assigned to the parameter when the user clicks the checkbox on the selection screen.
If you use the TYPE addition to refer to a data type in the ABAP Dictionary of type CHAR and length 1 for which 'X' and ' ' are defined as valid values in the domain, the parameter automatically appears as a checkbox on the selection screen.
REPORT DEMO.
PARAMETERS: A AS CHECKBOX,
B AS CHECKBOX DEFAULT 'X'.

The bottom bar on my mail has disappeared which means I can't create, reply or forward to an email. Any ideas how to get it back? Touching the screen at the bottom doesn't work!

The bottom bar in my email seems to have disappeared which means I can't create, reply or forward any emails. Any auggestions to how to get it back? Touching the bottom of the screen doesn't work. Thanks.

Close all apps in the Multitasking Drawer; Double Tap Home Button to open drawer, Swipe up on each app to close it. Repeat until all apps are closed, touch home screen.
Restart phone, hold both Home and Power/Sleep buttons down at the same time, continue to hold them down until the Apple Logo appears, Release both buttons and wait for phone to restart.
Check email app to see if bottom bar and new email icon have come back.
If not, delete the email account in settings and then add it back in again.
If mail still not working as it should, you may try doing a Reset All Settings reset in Settings => General => Reset => Reset All Settings. You won't lose any data, music, apps, videos,pictures, etc. But you will have to go back in and turn on or off any settings you changed on your phone because everything will be set back to factory defaults.
