Is there possibility to use the front panel without installing Labview?
Hallo,
i have two small questions:
1- Is it possible to use the front panel of a labview software without needing to install Labview itself? i mean something similar to the "power point viewer" which can view the Power Point files without installing the microsoft office.
2- In an intensity Graph, how can one change the color?
thanks.
Solved!

Hi,
Regarding your questions
1)You need to have Labview and Application builder installed on your machine. If you have that you can make an stand alone application (EXE) and then you can deploy it on systems that does not have LabView and can view it, However you will not be able to see the block diagram.
Here is a link that explains how to do so
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361A-01/lvhowto/exe_ex/
2) You can either do it by using propery node or marker method. The following link explains it

Hope it helps.

What is the most efficient way to have full access to the front panel on RT Labview?
I have a RT machine that needs to do its job and also port the front panel to an external machine over the network. What is the most efficient way to do it? Using as little of the RT time as possible but providing full functionality to the RT front panel.
So far I have been using it directly from Labview - running the VI on a remote (RT) and have the front panel on local Labview (WINDOWS). I know I can do it with also through WWW (not very happy with that though).
LV2009 SP1.
ThanksRunning a compiled executable on the RT target, rather than running it within the development environment, is probably slightly more efficient but limits you to the web interface. If you're running within the LabVIEW environment, I doubt there's a noticeable difference in efficiency from the RT perspective between the web server and the LabVIEW front panel, although that's mostly a guess (I would expect the RT system to send identical data in each case, once the front panel is loaded). Those are your only options in modern LabVIEW versions. In LabVIEW 7.1 you could build an executable that acted as the front panel for an RT system, but that feature does not exist in recent versions. However, a quick search turned up this document with code to approximately duplicate that behavior, perhaps it will work for you?

Is it possible to have the front panel on the iPad 2 replaced with a different color?
I have a WiFi-3G verizon 64GB BLACK iPad 2, when I bought it, black looked the best at the time. but now, it seems that white looks ALOT better and actually makes the screen look bigger . I was wondering if it was possible that if the front glass (not the LCD) can be replaced with a white one. As far as i can see, all of the connections and clips SHOULD clip into place just like the black panel. there should be no problem. the only problem i could see is that the apple store will refuse to install it because of some bullsh** reason. If that happens, i will buy the panel, then go to iFixit or something like that and see if they will take my money. So if anyone can shed some light on my situation, that would be GREAT. THANKS
my step mother got an ipad against my advice to wait for the new ones and she got a white one, and seeing how clean, pure, open and free the white one seemed compared to my black one, which (athough i polish habitually) look sad, dark, grimy and "trapped", i wanted to get the panel swapped. i thought i could maybe pull off an "oh crap i 'accidentaly' dropped my ipad and the screen broke" but that seemed utterly useless as they would just replace it with a black one.

How to/Is it possible to get the front panel's VI icon?
Hi
I want a sub-vi to get the front panel's VI icon image of other VI,
example, the subVI can have the image return based on VI refnum, is
there any function to do this? I try to search the "Application
Control -> Property Node" and could not find any of it.
Thank for any suggestion.This method also exists in 7.0

How do I use the front panel audio/video jacks?
I have a Pavilion HPE-480t desktop and can't find documentation anywhere on how to use the front autio/video jacks. When I hook up a device no software automatically loads. Is there a supplied program that recognizes them?
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi,
Based on this, your machine can have ONE of the following combinations at the front, I use the last one to answer your question:
15-in-1 card reader + 1394 + 2 USB + 1 headphone jack + 1 microphone jack
15-in-1 card reader + HP USB 3.0 SuperSpeed PCIe x1 card + 1394 + 2 USB + 1 headphone jack + 1 microphone jack
15-in-1 card reader + 1394 + 2 USB + 1 headphone jack + 1 microphone jack + Audio L/R + S-video + Composite Video
15-in-1 card reader + HP USB 3.0 SuperSpeed PCIe x1 card + 1394 + 2 USB + 1 headphone jack + 1 microphone jack + Audio L/R + S-video + Composite Video
Card reader: you can use it to read memory cards (normally from digital cameras or video cameras).
USB3: newer USB port(s) which can run 10 times faster than USB2
1394 or Firewire port: also normally for video cameras, many machines do not have it now
USB: normal USB 2 ports
Headphone jack: for headphone, earphone or external speakers
Microphone jack: For a microphone
Audio L/R: color coded for left and right audio channels, it does not say in or out.
S-video: Connect to additional monitor/TV, Many modern monitors/TV's now do NOT use this port.
Composite Video: also color coded (yellow). Connect to additional monitor/TV, Many modern monitors/TV's now do NOT use this port.

When using a personal (not business) dropbox account on my mac book pro, is it possible to use the mapped drive only? Currently I have dropbox mapped to my computer but it is also saving a redundant copy of the data on my hard drive. My goal is to pull, edit and save files on the mapped drive only without having a redundant back up of all my dropbox files on my computer wasting valuable storage space. Any advice out there? Thanks in advance for your help!
I don't believe that is accurate, but maybe I am missing something (I am not a Windows user).
Looking at 2 explanation of how to map a Dropbox as a drive…
http://lkeng.org/wp/?p=147
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d8uvseVr5A
Both of those are linking to the 'local copy' of Dropbox. It is not a true 'network' drive as far as I can see (it still requires the local copy on the PC).
Another video suggests using another service to mount the Dropbox, but that is not using Dropbox anymore, it is going through Otixo…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAIpm2qmglU
Dropbox does not provide easy to use URL's to mount as a network disk so I don't think this is possible on OS X.
Dropbox's forum has this too…
https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/202133795-How-to-ma p-dropbox-as-a-network-drive-on-Mac?loca…
You may need to examine the Windows computers carefully - if they have Dropbox installed & running then all the files are stored on the local machine in addition to the 'mapped drive'.
It looks to me like people are 'redirecting' the local copy to appear like a remote disk just so they can address that path on other machines - each PC is being setup the same. You could create aliases on OS X, but it doesn't help move files off the machine.
Hopefully someone else will contradict me, but I don't think this is how Dropbox works. -
I want to print the front panel without all the header stuff while the vi is running
I want to print the vi front panel without all the header information that Labview puts at the top. I want to do all this while the vi is running by pushing a button.
One option is to use the the 'Print VI to Printer' method. Beware that invoking this method repeatedly with complex front panels has caused me graphics problems in my VI's display that persist until the development environment or the built .exe app is exited and re-entered.
See: http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=5065000000080000005F5A0000&UCATEGORY_0=_49_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_0=spaz+print&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_S=0
NI has confirmed this to be a bug in 6.0x and 6.1 and has indicated that it will be fixed in the next version.
I was forced to fall back on the Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi in the report toolkit. Which does not produce printed graphs of as high as quality as the Print VI to
printer method. -
Manually controlling the front panel without a keyboard
Hi all,
In my application I constantly switch the keyboard and the mouse between two computers (using a KVM switch), but would like to continuously be able to control a numeric control on the front panel of one of the computers (running LabView 6.1). Even if I wasn't switching, the use of the keyboard is awkward, since the control needs to be fairly effortless, quick and smooth. After searching a bit for a knob/wheel/dial type of controller, I was only able to find the new PowerMate (Griffin Technology) as a reasonable candidate, and have yet to purchase and try to integrate it. I'm also not sure how it will work with LabView.
Am I overlooking a simple solution?
Anyone have some experience with the Pow
erMate?
many thanks, ShyAnother option: Create a simple TCP/IP application in VB or LabVIEW to
control the control.
That is,
Monitor for incoming TCP/IP data in the VI with the control.
If on your other computer you wish to make a change, just use your
little application to do it, and send the value to the main app.
Very cheap to do =)
Another option 2:
Grab the available Parallel Port digital interface design specifics for
labview. Create yourself a simple binary switch interface. Assign 4
bits for up and 4 bits for down.
That is,
sw1 = -10
sw2 = -1
sw3 = +1
sw4 = +10
Read in the digital input from the parallel port and increment your
control accordingly. You can obviously assign any values you want to
the digital inputs.
Hope this helps guide you a little bit!

It is possible to open the front panel of a subVI more then one time at the same moment?
I want to open a subvi´s front panel several times with each one operating independently. The subvi has a ring with several variables to choose to show in a graphic. The subvi is called from a button on the Main Front Panel. It is possible to, for instance, open the subvi and set it to show a temperature graphic and click again on the button to call another instance of the same subvi and select pressure for the graphic, keeping both new windows side by side? Will I still be able to access the Main Front Panel?
Yes you can. You have to use a .vit (VI template file). There's an example here. There's also been lot's of discussion on the subject. I think if you do a search for vit, you'll be able to find additional information and examples.

Is there a trick get around physical bundling of items on the front panel?
Ok - so I appreciate how bundling items on the front panel into a cluster can make the programmatic code very slick and easy to access.
I know this is completely obvious - but it forces me to arrange my front panel objects I would prefer not to arrange them. Here's why: I have my objects grouped together in a manner that reduces the number of datasocket read/write necessary for VIs to intercommunicate - they are grouped based on how they should be communicated to other VIs - not based on their physical arrangement on the front panel.
It seems the only way I can organize my objects into a cluster that appears as a pink control/indicator block in my diagram is by assembling
the objects into a cluster on the front panel... and this pink block is very useful as I can make local variables for it. This is much simpler than having all the controls and indicators bundled into a cluster for network transfer... but still having to use local variables for each control/indicator in order to use it elsewhere in the diagram.
Ugh. I fear this message is too much rambling and not enough information for anyone to help me... I'm going to post it in the hopes that someone can follow me.
I guess before I submit this I should remind you of what I was hoping to accomplish - to use the front panel to group objects but then skirt the requirement of keeping this objects in the same physical cluster box on the front panel.
again, ugh,
JimPlace all your front panel objects the way you want them then in the block
diagram use the Bundle by Name vi to create a cluster.

How to run a subVI without poping up normally, but when clicking a button, popup the front panel?
I know pop-up the front panel of a subVi when called by selecting VI Properties>>Windows apperence.
But what I need to do is: always run the SubVI inside the parent VI as the nornal subVI do without poping up. But when I click a button"show front panel", the SubVI popup the front panel.
Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks,ossoo,
You can use a static VI reference to the subVI and then use the Front Panel Open invoke method to show the front panel when you want. I have attached two VIs that show this. I saved these VIs for LabVIEW 2009 so you should be able to open them up and run them in 2009 or later. Add.VI is the subVI that you are calling. The Caller.VI is just a While Loop that contiually calls the Add subVI. Inside of the While Loop is also a Case Structure with a Static VI Reference (you might need to change the path this is pointing to after downloading the VIs to your computer for this to work) and the Front Panel Open invoke method. You can run the Caller.VI and interact with the main Front Panel as normal and see the subVI but then you can click the Open subVI? boolean button and it will open the subVI's front panel. You can continue to interact with the main front panel and see the values update on the subVI's front panel as well. You can just close the subVI's front panel when you are done viewing it. Does this help?

I would like to use the built-in Data Logging feature. There is the "Log at Completion" option, but is there a way to programmatically make a new log record while running? I looked around in VI server and couldn't find any methods that would do that. Currently, I am grabbing all of the front panel control references using VI Server and if there are any changes, the changed values are written to a log file along with a date/time stamp. I'm mostly dealing with buttons, which simply change from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0, so it's not too hard to visualize what was pressed. It works okay for reconstructing what happened, but it would be much nicer to use the built-in fe
ature because you can "replay" directly onto the front panel and actually see what the changes were. However, without being able to programmatically make a new log, it won't work for me.Jake,
There are several options here.
I would suggest using your own code for datalogging. The datalogging you are referring to is primarily for debug, and one shot datalogs of front panel indicators (and controls?), not including graphs, etc.
If you go to the file functions, you will see a menu for datalogging. These functions will allow you to save your data, as you need it, simply, and in a compact format.
I recommend opening the datalog file, doing all your file operations, and closing the file before the program is complete. There are several examples of this in the examples database.
Good luck
