Import pictures to block diagram

Hi,
I am having trouble figuring out how to import usable pictures for labview, when i insert the picture it only shows up in the front panel. I can not edit it, or use it in anyway. I need the picture to show up in the block diagram too so i can work with it.
Thanks

Read your PNG file into a picture indicator using the following simple code.
Now you can right-click the image terminal and turn it into a diagram constant. (Or create an indicator on the pink "image data" wire and turn it into a constant.

Use edit import picture from file to paste .bmp file into diagram

i am using labview 5.0.1 on a concurrent power MAX. I have a bunch of .bmp files in a separate unix directory. in labview, i open a new VI, choose edit > import picture from file and choose one of the .bmp files but nothing goes to the clipboard.
what am i doing wrong??

Import picture from file places it in the clipboard. After importing Edit > Paste to put it on the diagram.

How can i avoid to see the source code when any user open block diagram third time without password

i have a probelem regarding source code control. my problem is that when user open block diagram of any sub vi in vi. i would like to make a such a vi which source code can not open after seeing the block diagram thrice time and i dont want to make password to see the block diagram so what can i do ?
give me the perfect solution for this type of problem.

First protect you diagram
create a tap on your FP and create a picture of your diagram and put it on the second tap
DON'T expect answers if you only want perfect one's

LabView application hangs up when scrolling the block diagram

Hi all.
I attached you "Main.vi" that is part of my LabView project. I don't know what's going on, but when I scroll the block diagram to the maximum right, the LabView application hangs up. There are a lot of things in this block diagram because is an outline yet. My plan was to make it more structural, but now I can't do anything because this error don't allow me to edit the diagram.
Please, try to open it (ignore all the dependencies) and check if it hangs up also in your computer.
If it does, is there any way to recover it? It's really important for me because I don't have any backups since two weeks ago...

It didn't hang up on my computer, but it did make me nauseous, luckily I keep a bucket by my desk.
You might have video card issues. Try this: open the VI, and hit Auto Cleanup, then save. Close LabVIEW, reopen. If that does not work, try to get to the far right side by going to the Front Panel, and double clicking something that will take you there. If you get there successfully, use the disable structure to disable ~ 1/8 or more of the diagram on that side. Save, reopen.

How to find icon position of currently executed VI on caller's block diagram

Dear forum,
I currently try to use a LabVIEV VI as a simple sequencer: Several (very slow) actions have to execute one after another. Each action is represented by a Sub-VI, some actions are executed several times. My task is to visualize the currently executed Sub-VI somehow.
My first intention (simply manipulate the icon of the currently running VI with "VI Icon.Get as Image Data" / "VI Icon.Set from Image Data" invoke nodes) failed, because this changes the icon of ALL instances of this VI; if you use the same VI several times, the icons of all these VI are changed (see here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-change-animate-icon-of-currently-running-VI/m-p/3120754/highl...
My current approach is to use an image of the block diagram (with "VI: Block Diagram: Get Image Scaled" invoke method) within a picture control of the front panel and to work within this control. But for this I need to know the position of the icon of the currently executed VI. I know that I can evaluate Bounds and Position via the GObj properties, but how do I find the currently running VI (note that a VI may reside several times on the block diagram, so the name of the VI is not unique)? IMHO the simpliest way would be if a VI could find its icon on the caller's block diagram itself when executed...
It's clear that this position is not the position on the picture yet, but this conversion is a small piece of work...

Run it in highlight mode, done.
Sure if you don't mind having functional checks taking hours instead of minutes...okay maybe that is exagerating for a simple VI like this, but it would increase cycle time. Honestly I think the best solution would be to use the helper VI that was mentiond before, which keeps track of what VI is running. You can of course use scripting to get the block diagram image, but there isn't a good way to know what exact VI is running using VI server. Here are a few discussions.

"the system cannot find the path specified" when importing pictures from iphone

Hi!
I have an iPhone 5s. My computer is a Windows, with the Windows 8 OS. I have never had a problem importing pictures from my iPhone to my computer until recently. Now, whenever I try, I get this error message:
The following error occurred while importing IMG_1022.JPG:
The system cannot find the path specified.
What do you want to do?
Try again
Skip this file
Skip all files with errors"
I have tried again. I have tried skipping files. Either way, the photos and video will not import from my phone. It is filled up now and I cannot download anything else, or take any more pictures, until I get these files off the phone.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi JeffWilko,
What is your current situation?
To receive better analyzation, please provide more details?
1. Could you explain a bit about the sentence ‘installing multiple printers from the portal’ ?
2. Check the event viewer and share us the related error log.
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Ping the printers
2. Check if there are network firewall to block the access

Examining block diagram- ports on VI- How do I determine which port is wired

Trying to figure out how a block diagram is wired with a a vi that has lots of ports. Is there a way that I can identify where the wire goes on the vi?

As tst said, you can triple click to see the entire wire. Some people don't wire properly, with wires going underneath objects. If you look closely at the attached picture, you can see the highlited wire (the one surrounded by dash lines) goes to the top right corner of the object it is wire to.

Frequent Crashes - Running, Exiting, While in Block Diagram...

I am suffering from frequent crashes and lockups of LabVIEW 8.5 Base version. I have not been able to pin down the root as the occurances may happen when my program is running , or when I try to exit, or when working in a block diagram. It seems like it is more likely to occur in and around vi's created using the dll conversion wizard. The vi's are for the API for Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART configuration. In my test the device powered on an off several times and so appears and disappears several times, and this gets repeated as new devices are tested.
How do I track this down?
How do I practice "safe" programming to avoid unexpected occurances that crash LabView?

Hi MG,
Are you using the Import Shared Library Utility from Tools >> Import >> Shared Library (.dll)? This is a tool within LabVIEW that can be used to convert shared libraries to VIs.
In response to your most recent question, by controlling or adding a timeout for the COM (USB) communication you would be able to stop a portion of the process or the entire VI. This is because when the timeout value is exceeded this initiates an error which will propagate to the subsequent code and prevent any further operations from executing. In order to stop this error chain from continuing to the end of the code a General Error Handler VI can be used with the COM timeout error code wired to the 'exception code' terminal to ignore this error for future code execution.
Hopefully, this is a possible solution for your application. If you need any further clarification, please let me know.

Place an image on the block diagram

Is there an easy way to place an image on the block diagram?
To clarify, I would like a simple way to paste a bmp or jpeg or png or whatever onto my block diagram for the purpose of documenting the block diagram for future programmers.
The way I currently accompish this is by creating a picture constant on the diagram and running a seperate vi to load a picture into a picture window, then using copy and paste functions to get the image into the picture constnat in my block diagram.
There's a simpler way, right?

Thanks, but that isn't at all what I am trying to do. I want to
place an image on the block diagram, not read an image. I've attached a
screen shot of my block diagram to show you that I am using an image
that I pasted onto the block diagram to document the block diagram. The
picture below the wiring is a schematic of a rectangular reticle that
corresponds to the wiring diagram above. You can see which points go
where when drawing the targeting reticle around kermit the frog, so it
is easier to understand the wiring diagram.
The method
I have to use to paste an image into the block diagram is cumbersome. I
would like to know if there is an easy way to paste an image into the
block diagram.

Cut and paste from one block diagram to another?

Is it possible to cut objects from the block diagram of one vi and paste them into the block diagram of another vi?
Also, is it possible to "comment out" parts of a block diagram like you can in a text based program? That is, can you disable "code" on a block diagram without removing it from the diagram entirely?

CVI is much easier to me than LabVIEW, maybe since I've been programming extensively in C for 20 years. But boss says we gotta use LabVIEW. It's the politically correct thing to do.
Lots of LabVIEW advocates in management here. Few have done anything of significance with it. Some use Signal Express and call it LabVIEW. I guess they're technically correct. SE says LabVIEW on the splash page.

Image of the front panel and block diagram

Hi,
I need to get some info from the block diagram but I don't have labview in my computer. can some one please open it and post a picture of both front panel and block diagram.
It may not open properly, but that is okay.
Thanks,

Growing block diagram objects

Recall that with objects on the Front panel, one can select and move them in very small increments by using the control arrow keys.
Is there a way on the block diagram to grow a control/indicator with that same granularity and in a similar fashion? For example, I have picture box that I'm inserting a bitmap into. I want to grow the box width by a miniscule amount, but the normal way of grabbing the sizing handle and dragging it doesn't offer me the desired granularity, as it grows to the next grid line.

... or simply hit the letter "g" (for "grid") while resizing, and it will no longer snap to the grid during the current sizing operation.
No need to change the default behavior.
(g is a toggle, so hitting it twice (or any event count) would re-enable "snap to grid")

I am using Photoshop Elements 12 and when I am importing pictures the system freezes and needs to be forced quit. When I restart it it continues to bring the pictures in eventually. What is the solution to this?

I am using MAC os version of elements 12 with OS 10.9.4 (the latest). When I am importing pictures from a card elements freezes consistently and needs to be voce closed. When I then restart elements it continues to bring the pictures in but this is very tedious and I need to get the matter resolved,

I would do another rename to disable or just delete all the OldFilm.AEX and OldFilm.AEXOLD in that NewBlue Folder.
If you do, please let me know if that OldFilm.AEX regenerates itself the next time you open Premiere Elements 13.
Here is the strange story...at least from my Premiere Elements 13 Windows perspective...never had the No Disc error issue
Here are some details to sort through trying to figure out why you have 2 OldFilm.AEX file in the NewBlue Folder.
1. The original OldFilm.AEX file of Premiere Elements 13 has the date of 9/4/2014 (just before the version was released on 9/24/2014).
After the 13.1 update is done (whenever date), that OldFilm.AEX file has the date of 1/31/2015. I first saw notification of the 13.1 Update
release early in February 2015.
2. Now in Premiere Elements 13.1, if I take my OldFilm.AEX (date 1/31/2015) and disable it by renaming it to OldFilm.AEXOLD, close out of there, and reopen
the program, the OldFilm.AEX is not seen to regenerate. The OldFilm.AEXOLD remains there as its lone self.
3. So, I am thinking that your OldFilm.AEXOLD in the screenshoot is "original equipment" that you disabled to get rid of No disc error.
Why the OldFilm.AEX is there also is not clear, but the dating on it suggests that it came along with the 13.1 Update.
Bottom line: let us try the deletion or disabling one more time and see what happens.
Looking forward to further reports on your findings, as your time permits.
Thanks.
