LabVIEW 8.6 propositions on how to build application that acts like reader form specified field dependent on which values been selected

Hello everyone!
I am newbie to LabVIEW with some previous experience programming in different languages.
My goal is to build the application that upon my selection needs to give specific values from previously filled and prepared file.
For example, I have different types of operations (milling, drilling, turning..) and different grades (type) of steels (Uddeholm steel grades: NIMAX, IMPAX...and about 40 of them). For every operation there are different input data (Coated insert, uncoated). Based of those information application should give out cutting speed and feed rate data that are stored in some file. I understand I can do it in Excel spreadsheet or LV spreadsheet, I would prefer LV because of portability to systems without Office installed on them. I also understand that all those issues concerning input data for output results I can easily solve with case scenario.
Main issue is decision between different types of files that I can easily address like 2D matrix to get required data, which and how to do it.
I would like to know what I should acknowledge first before doing any further work?
And does someone have some simply prepared VI on which I can work my way on?
If you are willing to help me with guides I would be happy to answer any of your questions.

Thank you very much for your reply.
This application that I am working on is completely static due to communication. It simply needs to provide entry in table depending on selected inputs in front panel, and of course display it front panel. I know what I need to do, as well as the structure. Only thing that I don't know yet how to do it in LabVIEW.
When I mentioned "LV spreadsheet" I meant on read from file option, you got that right.. The thing is that now I have large amounts (not large in acquisition data point of view, 5 spread sheets, with 45 rows and 15 columns) of data saved in Excell, and my goal would be to get that data in LabVIEW application, for the ease of access. And still leave that xls file as is, due to all connections that he have with smaller xls files. So in compact version of the story I am going to use save as comma separated (or tab, that depends of course) values from Excell with or without extra editing of created file in order to load that file into prepared program structure in LabVIEW. After I manage to do that, of course I will work my way for all other extras that I am gonna put eventually in program structure. So this would be like a backbone, I know it sounds simple. As a matter of fact I would probably be finnished allready in VB but highest demand is to do this in LabVIEW, and I am fully down with that.
Regards,
Vedran

    Thanks. That solved it. I had my doubts since I wasn't concerned about my lost bookmarks. I was concerned about the broken functionality. In any event, restoring from a backup solved both the functionality and the lost bookmarks. I appreciate the response!

    How to insert pdf file to adobe reader in windows phone 8? which directory?

    An other way is to copy the pdf with Windows explorer into the path /documents of the phone. Open Office and choose Adobe Reader. The pdf will be copyed in the Sandbox of the Reader and You may read it. You may delete the PDF in the documents path. It will still be in the Readers sandbox. All without any cloud ;-)!

    Hi katana,
    Go into your Finder under Applications:
    Click on iPhoto to open it - it will go to your Dock. Click and hold down on the icon on the Dock, and you will see "Options". Click on that, and then select "Keep in Dock". Do the same with PhotoBooth. You should be all set!

  • How to build application.exe

    I am not a big expert of LabVIEW...
    ....now that I made my program with LabVIEW, I wish to create a program.exe,
    an application that can run without the LabVIEW program.
    Is it possible?
    How do I it?
    Thanks

    You can create stand-alone executables with the "Application Builder". But the "Application Builder" is a component of "LabVIEW Professional Development System" only.
    If you use "LabVIEW Full Development System" or "LabVIEW Base Package" this feature is not available.
    In the second case you can buy "Application Builder" as an add-on. For information visit ni.com/catalog and enter "lvappbuilder".

  • Error building Application that runs correctly

    Dear NI engineers,
    I am attempting to build an exe and it give me the following error:
    >>The VI is broken. Open the VI in LabVIEW and fix the errors.
    >>C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\Desktop\IsomerXDistribution\MAIN.vi
    The VI is not broken, and runs perfectly fine, the sub VI's and classes are not broken either.  
    >>Visit the Request Support page at ni.com/ask to learn more about resolving this problem. Use the following information as a reference:
    >>Error 1003 occurred at ABAPI Open VI and Check For Broken.vi -> EBEP_Invoke_Build_Engine.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
    >>Possible reason(s):
    >>LabVIEW:  The VI is not executable. Most likely the VI is broken or one of its subVIs cannot be located.  Open the VI in LabVIEW using File>>Open and verify that it is runnable.
    All of the VI's in the hierachy and project and executable and located. Why will it not compile?
    Thank you for your quick response.

    The code i am using is a very large (about 350 VI's and methods) complex data structure that runs exceptional well in labview.
    I am posting a very small code that demonstrates the problem. Apparently passing a class by reference causes a broken VI error when compiling. It works perfectly fine when running threw labview. It would be costly to rewrite the VI's in a different format, for something labview internally supports and all other OOP language support, simply because of an erronous compiler.  
    Why will this not compile, and how can i make it compile?

  • How do I change the data used by a Waveform graph dependent upon which tab window is active?

    Hi,
    First I want to say thank you in advanced!!  Let me describe the situation a little bit.  My front panel VI (see attachment) has a tab control and on each tab window I have an intensity chart with a free-drag cursor.  Below the tab control window I am trying to display either the row or the column of data where the cursor is located, I can do this for each intensity chart individually.  I am trying to clean the block diagram up a little bit and instead of using 4 Waveform Graphs, I want to use only one, can the data that is displayed in the wave form graph is associated with which page is active on the Tab Control.  Can this be done?  And how can I do it?
    Thank you again,

  • How can I avoid that a virus read out all passwords memoried by Firefox? It was happend two weeks ago!

    My children where using some web sites about games to solve some problems. During this use a virus came via web interface into my desktop. My virus scanner shows this but could not avoid that this virus read out all my accounts memorized in Firefox and sent it into dark channels.
    I could restore the way how my accounts leave my Desktop. There was some accounts only memorized into Firefox inclusive passoword. These accounts would used from other persons in the meantime.
    My questions are:
    - How save are the memorized accounts-password combinations?
    - And: Is it possible that the Firefox Sync Account can transfer the virus from PC to PC by using the same Sync-Account? Or can I be sure that all other Firefox installations at other PSs will be clean after this attack at one Firefox-Installation during all installations use the same Sync-Account? What this question means in background: Via Sync can Plugins be installed at other systems. What happens, when a virus install a special virus-plugin? Would Sync it move to all other PCs?
    Best regards, Frank

    If you are using Sync to sync passwords then you likely aren't using a Master Password to protect the password.

  • How do I populate form fields depending on the value of a list box?

    Hi,
    Can anybody help me out here?
    I'm creating a form where I'm needing to populate a number of fields (first name & last name) based on the value of a list box (values are 1,2,3,4,5,6) ie: if 3 is selected 3 sets of the first name and last name fields populate on the page for the user to fill out.
    At this stage it is just a prototype site and there is no database running behind it.
    Thanks
    Hayden

    This can only be solved if you have javascript coding skills.  Without knowing more about what you want to do and why, I can only show you a skeleton of how your code should look, but consider this form select field -
    <select onchange="populateForm()">
    When a value is selected from that list, the "onchange" event will fire, and will call the javascript function called populateForm().  You need to define a function by that name somewhere on the page -
    <script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[
    function populateForm(value) {
         if value >0 { document.getElementById("fieldID").style.display='block' }
         if value >1 { .... }
         etc.
    //]]>
    </script>
    The page itself would need to have ALL the fields already in the form, but with those that are to be revealed set to a style of display:none.
    Obviously, this is a skinny skeleton.  Each test in the function would reveal a new field on the page by changing its display style from "none" (which is how they should be set in the code) to "block".  You would need a separate function for each type of field that might need to be chosen.
    If this is well over your head, then I'm afraid you will be out of luck for this particular approach....

  • How to remove the border of an Adobe Form Image Field

    Hello everyone
    I am using Desinger 8.0.
    Form properties: Preview type = Print Form (One-side):
    I am using an "image field" to include a image from the transaction SE78.
    There is always a box arround the image. How can I remove that box?
    I am using the "Image field" because the image will change depending on conditions.
    Here is my setting:
    Object: Field
                       type    = Image Field
                       Sizing  = Scal Image Proportionally
                Binding
                        Default Binding (Open Save Submit) = $record.GRAPHIC
                        (Graphic is defined in the global area in the interface)
    Layout :
                  AnchorX: 171.477mm  AnchoY: 15.111mm
                  width:       78.175mm  Height :   21.777mm
                   Margins: all at 0mm
                   Caption Position: None
    Border:
               Edges: Edit Together
                           None
                Background fill: None
    Based on my understanding, with border edges to none I should not have any border arround the image But I still have it.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello Raju
    Thank you for your reply.
    Unfortunattely the Field tab doesn't have the Appearance in it.
    The field tab contain only the following Items:
    Type : Image Field
    Caption:
    URL
    Embed Image Data
    Sizing: Scale Image Proportionally
    Presence: Visible
    Locale: Default locale
    There is no item named "Appearance".

  • How to finds applications that are still running?

    How do I find applications that are running on my computer?  I can't install a new version of Google Drive because I get the message that this application is open.  When I bring up the panel to do a force quit I do not see that application listed.  Once I find the app running how do I quit it?
    Thanks for any tips.
    Bryan

    Use Activity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities). After opening it, go to View menu (on the menu bar) > All Processes, and quit the processes related to the apps that the installer needs.
    Another way is to start up in safe mode by holding the Shift key while your Mac is starting. This allows you to install any application without any problem, as no third-party apps are running

  • How to build applications from LabVIEW with Diadem?

    Dear all,
    I got a question regarding a LabVIEW application with integrated DIADEM report VIs (DIADEM Report). My problem is that the computer, on which the application shall run, has no DIADEM installed.
    For LabVIEW it is clear to install the RUNTIME engine, which works on PCs without installed LabVIEW, but is there something similar for DIADEM available?
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Best regards,
    RidderM
    Message Edited by RidderM on 01-09-2008 07:39 AM

    No, I don't think it is possible.
    The LabVIEW VIs call the Activex interface of DIADem, I was also exploring this and the best I could think of is to contact a computer that has DIADem installed to run the LabVIEW-DIADem connection there.
    However I didn't ask it to NI.

  • How to build a BIG TREE with Tree-Form layout

    Hi,
    I do have a self-referenced table with our org structure - 15 000 positions.
    I do want to create a tree with this structure.
    Requirements :
    a, to have a tree-form layout
    b, to have search capabilities
    I have tried to use several combinations (maybe all)
    - from using only one View object and create recursive tree - doesn't even run
    - to use two View objects, first as top level nodes, the other as the rest - it runs
    but I can search only top level, and what is worse, by clicking on the node for showing additional information (tree-form layout) I'm waiting for ages for seeing the info
    (it seems that all records are loaded one by one into AS)
    Could you provide some ideas how to deal with this ?
    Thanks.

    I am sorry, this is beyond the scope of this forum.
    As with any functionality not directly provided by JHeadstart, you can build it yourself using the ADF design time tools in JDeveloper. Please use the JDeveloper forum for help on this first step.
    Then, to keep your pages generatable you can move these customizations to custom templates. We are happy to help you with this last step, should you have problems there.

  • How to build View that join 2 tables that one of them exists twice in join

    Hello ,
    I want to create a database view (in CRM) which joins 
    the following tables : but000 , but050 , but000 again .
    but000 holds BP general data (including BP name).
    but050 holds the connection (relationship) between two BPS.
    I want to build a dictionary view that shows a relation between
    two BP and I want also to see their names ... that's why I need
    but000 twice ..
    I didn't manage doing this in SE11 (like I can do it with abap code).
    I need this view in order to use it in a search help I need to build.
    Does anyone know a way to build a view like this ?
    If it is not possible how can I build a search help that shows
    relation with names ?
    Please , help .
    Thanks ,
      N.S.

    Creating a Database View
    Procedure
    1.Enter an explanatory short text in the field Short text.
    You can for example find the view at a later time using this short text.
    2.Define the tables to be included in the view in the Tables field of the Tables/Join conditions tab page.
    Keep in mind that you can only include transparent tables in a database view.
    3.Link the tables with join conditions.
    If there are suitable foreign keys between the tables, you should copy the join conditions from these foreign keys (see  Foreign Key Relationships and Join Conditions).
    Place the cursor on a table name and choose Relationships. All foreign keys to other tables defined for this table are displayed. Select the foreign keys and choose Copy. The join condition is now derived from the definitions in the foreign key.
    If you only want to see the foreign key relationship existing between two tables, you must first select these two tables (click on the first column of the input area Tables) and then choose Relationships.
    4.On the View fields tab page, select the fields that you want to copy to the view.
    Choose Table fields. All the tables contained in the view are displayed in a dialog box. Select a table. All the fields contained in this table are displayed. You can copy fields by selecting them in the first column and choosing Copy.
    You can also include an entire table in the view (see Includes in Database Views).
    5.On the Selection conditions tab page, you can (optionally) formulate restrictions for the data records to be displayed with the view (see Maintaining Selection Conditions for Views).
    The selection conditions define the data records that can be selected with the view.
    6.With Goto ® Technical settings, you can (optionally) maintain the technical settings of the database view.
    You can define whether and how the database view should be buffered here. Proceed as for the technical settings of a table (see  Maintaining Technical Settings). Note that only the settings for buffering can be maintained for database views.
    7.On the Maintenance status tab page, select the maintenance status of the database view.
    If the view contains more than one table, the maintenance status read only cannot be altered.
    8.Save your entries. You are asked to assign the view a development class.
    You can change this development class later with Goto ® Object directory entry.
    9.Choose  activate.
