Labview 2013 cannot use event structure

Event structure can be added into the back panel, however when i add event case or try to edit the default event case, the program is crask and cannot response to my mouse.
when i launch windows task manager, it present " running" properly.
However this program run properly at my another computer with sample Win7 OS.
Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

sir, this issue does not related to code, even i create new empty VI, the event structure cannot work properly, i cannot add new event or edit the default even!
However, i installed the same eval version into my another computer, this event structure can work properly, both computers use same Win 7 OS.
Okay in that case I would recommend a repair install of LabVIEW.

How to use event structure of event data nodes event filter nodes in programming

hi,
I need manual of how to use 'event structure' events of 'event data nodes' and 'event data filters'...please help me....
Regards
Ravindranath

I'm not really sure what you are looking for here. Did you do a search in the LabVIEW help for Event Structure?
The Event Data Node just returns information about the event, like control data, control reference, what caused the event, etc.
The Event Data Filters are just used in Filter Events. This allows you to discard an event or change the data that the event will recieve.

How to control the tab control using event structure?

Hi,
I am using tab control and event structure in the program.
When i run the application event is not happening for the active page.
When user switches from active page to the other page then event is taking place for all pages
So, how to get the event trigger for the active page when the application is started
For more clarification i am attaching the code "Test Control Tab using Event Structure.vi"

You have a basic misunderstanding of dataflow. Maybe you should start with some tutorials or study some of the examples that ship with LabVIEW.
The event structure belongs inside the while loop, and not vice versa. RIght now, the event structure only runs exactly once and never again.
If the stop is pressed first, the VI will stop. Game over.
If the tab control is changed (from any state to any other state!), the inner loop will spin forever as fast as the CPU allows, either executing one or the other case. It just reads the tab terminal to decide which case to execute. Changing tab never triggers any events. The VI is trapped inside the event until stop is pressed to stop the VI.
you were closer to a reasonable program in the other thread:

Can I use Event structures in a subVI?

Hi,
I have a subVI (ProvaEv1.vi) that use an event structure inside. But when I use it in a VI (ProvaVI.vi) the event structure in the subVI doesn't catch the events.
I tried to insert the event structure in a while loop but it doesn't work too.
Could you help me?

Thanks to all for your answers!
Wiebe! I tried to do as you suggested but I am not able to link the Event Reference Number inside te SubVI with the Event Register Number of the Register for Event in Main VI. There is e class conflict. Another question: how the SubVI can know the structure of the Register event outside?My aim was to create a modular structure but it seems very difficult, wath do you think about these problems?
The broken wire is related to your question. The event structure inside the sub vi knows about the events you register in the main, because the reference wire/control has a "strong" type. It contains information about the registered events. That is also why the wire is broken. You have to register all events, then create an indicator/control of the output. Use that control in the subvi. You have to do this every time the events change (you might use a type def if you use the control a lot).
Usually, the events that you would want to put inside subvi's are those related to user interface objects. I've had this a lot. You make a nice interface, but it's not reuseable, because the events are mixed with all the other events. Only solotion is to manually add the needed event cases in your program, and copy the code.
Even if you can put the events in a sub vi, I'd expect hanging vi's when more subvi's are registered for the same event. It's hard to tell without trying. So it's not a real solution either.
Like Chrisger suggested, the event callback might help a little, but they are tricky, and actually ment for this (they are intended for activex callbacks).
Perhaps you should look at XControls (if you use 8.2). It would be more work to replace your code to XControls, but once you're done, you have reusable code.. Haven't worked with them jet, but they are invented for this problem...
Regards,
Wiebe.
I have already create my application using event structure just in Main VI but it seems very complicate to read and keep update, I would have wanted to give modularity to my application.

How to run the two events at the same time by using event structure

In my project, I have to run two stepper motor which can run both forward and reverse direction by changing the control in front panel so I am using event structure. In front panel I gave two separate controls for both stepper motor such as forward,reverse and stop. I would like to do motor1 will rotate alone, motor2 will rotate alone and both motor will rotate at the same time when user click the control in front panel. My doubt is how to run a motor2 while motor1 is running at the same time please tell me the suggestion for this problem

How do you control your motors?
Most motion control systems do supply two modes:
a) position based motion: The motion axis has a positioning system (most often some kind of encoder system) which enables the motion control to know where the axis is currently located. Passing the target location to the controller will result in the axis to move to that location. This is, for most applications, the recommended approach. It does require some sort of motion controller device.
b) direction based motion: This essentially tells the periphery device for the motor to move at a certain speed into a certain direction. As it does not stop at a dedicated location, it induces great risks for many applications if there are no kill- and/or end-switches. Depending on the setup, this can be either done with motion controllers or pure by software control (e.g. "controlling" the voltage level for the motor).
If you go for a), there is not much preventing parallelism as you request.
Option b) depends on the setup. If you have a control loop in the software itself, you have to move to an architecture like the producer/consumer. Please note that this does not incorporate any security measures for the external devices.
hope this helps,

Firing events from a Menu using Event Structure - all in the same Event Window?

I have an ap where I have three menus, and several selections from
those three menus. I'm trying to keep everything within the Event
Structure, but it seems that ALL of the events fired from the Menu must
be contained within one "frame" of the Event Structure, that being the
Menu Selection (user) Event. In other words, if I have 16 events that
can be fired from the menu, do I have to put them ALL in this one event
frame?
I can't seem to use a T/F indicator within the Menu Selection (user)
Event to access another Event. For example, within the Menu Selection
(user) Event, I placed a boolean named X and can turn it on with a menu
selection. Now, make a new Event Structure to look for X Value Change -
doesn't work.

I use one event, Menu Selection (user). to trap all of my menu events. Use Item Path and / or Item Tag to figure out what menu item was selected then branch code based on selection. Wtih Booleans and menus you need to update the state of the boolean on the menu by setting it True or False. It doesn't automatically toggle like you would expect.

Using Event Structures with Array of Clusters

Using LabVIEW 8.5
Hi all,
I'm trying to convert an existing application to one that can be used
through a touch screen. I updated the UI and added an event structure
to listen for mouse ups on controls that require a HMI keyboard or
numpad to show up. Although I've been programming for a while, I'm new
to LabVIEW and am struggling with a problem:
Is there any way to have an event case listen to an event within
arrays? I've seen a few examples on the forums, but they all start with
breaking up the arrays into individual variables. Using the variables,
they build arrays. This seems pretty tedious, and I'm pretty sure I
can't apply it to one of my arrays. Essentially, I just want to know
which cluster in which array the user has clicked on, so I can open the
HMI keyboard or numpad and send the text to that cluster. In my watered down app (Array of Clusters.vi), I've put 3 arrays of clusters and a few stand-alone controls to give you guys an idea of what I'm taking about.
BTW, I'm using the HMI Keyboard and Numpad built by the Beta Community (http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-1062) and modified it to add a "Clear" button to the keyboard and numpad. Please let me know if I implemented this in the best way.
Thanks for the help,
Kunal

You probably can adapt some of it for the arrays on the right. If the array can be scrolled, you also need to account for the "indexvals" offset.
The Layers controls is easiest, because you only show one element. Just read the "index vals" property to get the array element and parse the coordinates to get the cluster element.
btw: the small while loop on the right serves no purpose at all and acts just as a CPU burner. You can delete it without any change in functionality. Is there anything else to it?

Locked panel using event structure

Hi!
I'm using an event structure block to run a sequence only when a value of a control has changed.....when I edit this event I set the option NOT to lock the front panel.
When I run the vi's I can change the controls of the front panel......but all the code outside of the event structure block does'nt run....what i have to do?
I've attached a simple example.....boolean2 can change his value but the code is not executed
Thanks in advance

example_event_error.vi ‏42 KB

hi there
the while-loop waits for all the code contained in it to finish until it turns again. the event-structure has no time-out case defined, so if "Boolean" dosn't change it waits eternally. that's why the "Boolean 2" seems to be locked, because this code is not executed any more until the next turn of the while loop.
add a timeout-event (event source = Application) and connect the event timeout (e.g. 100 ms). be aware that the reaction to a change of "Boolean 2" takes up to timeout ms. another option is to put the code inside the timeout-case.

Use event structure and while loop in parallel

Hello, I would like to use an event structure in parallel with a while loop. I have a camera that needs to constantly take pictures and I have that setup in the while loop. I also however need to do other functions in conjunction with the picture taking. I have about 50 or so events that need to have access to while the pictures are taken. Is there any way to do this? If not is there any way to have a global stop variable that is attached to all 50 of the events. I know I can do this the hard way and have each boolean event in the event structure be attached to the while loop stop control. This is however very inefficient. I would also like to know if I can simply use a mouse click as the stop of the while loop. Am I able to have a variable that goes from false to true on mouse click without using the event structure to do this? Thanks.

Yes, just place the event structure in a second while loop.
Add a stop button to the other while loop and add an event for the stop button to stop both loops. For a simple example, see my VI posted here:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=176367&jump=true
Simply add more event cases as needed.

Use Event Structure to trigger a 1 off event

I am trying to use an event structure to trigger a 1 off event. I thought that I could check for the condition that I want to trigger the event and wire this the Val(signaling) property of a Boolean. I then created a Value Change event on this control expecting the event to trigger when the value changed from false to true. what I find is that writing to the Val Signaling property triggers the event every time not just when the value changes.
The attachment is a simple vi to try and illustrate this point using the iteration counter to try and trigger a 1 off event on the 10th iteration. The Boolean 'Once' changes from False to True on the 10th iteration but the event is triggered for every iteration. Need to run in debug
Any Help much appreciated

One thing that I should have pointed out. I don't know what you are
going to do in your "one off" event. If it is a time consuming operation
you should not use an event but send a message to another loop and have
that loop execute the code. Otherwise your event loop will be blocked.
You can send messages to other loops in a
number of ways. Variables, Queues, Notifiers, Action Engines, etc..

is your vi modified to use a notifier. I also modified your conditional
logic. You said you wanted to have something happen only once but you
were using a less than comparison. I changed that to an equals comparison so that when i = 9 a notification is sent to a slave loop.
A message box will be displayed on the tenth iteration of the master
loop. Notice how your numeric indicator continues to increment even with
the dialog box displayed. That would not happen if the dialog box were to be displayed in the master loop.

Outlook 2013 - cannot use RoomLists and Suggested Times

Hi,
maybe someone has a clue on what is wrong here.
In OWA, we can use the new features RoomList and Suggested Rooms when using the Calendar Assistant to plan a new meeting. The room list can be first be chosen, and the fields for the rooms are then populated as expected, you can choose one of the rooms.
The following is true for every Outlook Session on PCs/virtual Clients, they are configured to use Online Mode: In Outlook 2013, when using: New Meeting - Scheduling Assistant, the feature "Choose an available room" stays complete empty and
does not show the room list. Also the box below that, labeled "suggested Times", does not load or display content. Instead, an error message is displayed in it: "Suggestions cannot be provided because free/busy data could not be retrieved."
Laptops use the exact same Outlook version, but run in cached mode. Here, if you deconfigure "Communication using http" in the OL profile, the lookup for suggested times works _once_ until Restart, then the button is automatically added, the
profile automatically made good again, and the suggestion function is broken again.
If you deconfigure the button "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using http" in the Outlook Profile under the connection tab on an _online mode PC_, the profile is broken and not automatically made good again. So no temporary workaround is possible
here.
We do not run policies that may keep Outlook 2013 from using the functions. In fact we do only rule cached or online mode.
Our Room List is free of special characters and short enough, so no problems that other people have found in their environments.
We have found some older articles reporting broken functionality, when applying or not applying hotfixes. We have checked several of that and it is not the source of our problem.
Also, we are currently within one domain, so no complicated setup using one or more forests or even other domains, configuration of free/busy accounts should not be an issue here.
Our best guess is it may have to do with using Exchange webservices or MAPI for the connection, see both ways described communicating over http or not above, but we have not found an error or wrong configuration here.
Can you please advise on where to search next?

Hi,
Which version of Exchange server are you using?
Does the free/busy information display correctly if we click the Rooms button and select a room from GAL?
Are you trying to start a meeting in which either the Start time or the
End time is outside your working hours? If this is the case, this issue may happen. Please have a look at the following KB article and check if it applies:
