Labview Graph Palette Taking Outputs

Hi,
is there any way to take the output of Labview Graph Palette i.e. when I zoom in can i access the minimum and maximum values of the zoomed in scales.
What I am trying to do is scanning a square and displaying data on an intensity graph. SoI wanted to add a feature which enables me to zoom in on the graph then take the values of the new scales and scan the zoomed in area again in the instrument.
So, is this possible?
Thanks,
Yatin

In LV8.5 (not sure about 8.2) you get "scale change" events, so with an
event structure you get new ranges every time they change.
In <LV8.5 the only option is to poll the range properties of the graph.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Customize Graph Palette buttons

Is there a way to customize the Graph Palette buttons in a XYGraph with LabVIEW 8.2.1?
I'm able to select and customize the cursor movement arrows (I imported two customized images for the ON and OFF state, for example);
but when I select in the same way the Graph Palette, or one of its buttons, the Edit --> Customize control... option is disabled
I've already customized most of the other graph parts, and now the Graph Palette looks poor
Thanks in advance

Seems to work OK if you place the entire graph into customize mode and simply right-click on the palette buttons to import your graphics. try it!

Graph palette special keybindings

Hi!
I have a graph which displays wave and some cursors. Is there a way to assign a special key binding for the graph palette controls? Say that I want to zoom in on the graph, then I could press the "z-button" on my keyboard and then the zoom in function on the palette would be selected. Same goes for pan, and cursor. Shouldn't there be a easy way in Labview to do this, or do I have to make a separated program?
Best regards Maurlind!

Hi maurlind,

If you think so you can add a new LabVIEW idea in the LabVIEW Idea Exchange!
do I have to make a separated program?
You can control your graph with its property nodes. Use an event structure to determine key press events…

Graph Palette Button Size

Is there any way to re-size the graph palette buttons? The cursor palette buttons are individual entities and can easily be re-sized, but not the pan/zoom/cursor buttons on the "graph palette". I have a touch-screen and it would be helpful if these were larger. I'm using LabView 7.1.
Thanks,
Brian

Just open the graph in the control editor (right-click...advanced..customize) and go to edit mode. Now resize as needed.
(This is from 8.0, but it works the same under 7.1)

Need to graph one DAQ output vs. a second DAQ output on the same graph.

I am having trouble graphing two DAQ assistant outputs on the same graph. One output vs. the second output.

Hi there,
You have to convert the DDT signal that comes from the DAQ Assistant to get or data in two arrays.
Then bundle them into a cluster and use a XY Graph.
See attached example:
Hope this helps,
Paulo

Teststand 4.1 and LabVIEW 8.6 taking more time to launch?

For lauching the LabVIEW 8.6 steps in TestStand 4.1 its taking almost 7 to 10 seconds to load or refresh the LabVIEW terminals. Everytime while clicking on the LabVIEW steps its taking the same time..... Its a kind of irritating to write code in TestStand. I dont know what happening inside.. but in TS 4.0 its pretty fast. Even I tried with using runtime engine option.... very little bit of changes I found... in this case I cant able to edit the LabVIEW code.
Is there any method to make it faster to repond. Or its because of LV 8.6 the way it loads.?
Vijay

There is a known issue with LabVIEW 8.6 and any version of TestStand that will cause a significant delay updating the display after selecting a LabVIEW step in the sequence editor. The issue is described in KnowledgeBase 4PH891T3: Known Compatibility Issues with TestStand and LabVIEW 8.6, and a patch is available.
Please try to install the patch for LabVIEW 8.6f1 and see if it fixes the behavior you are experiencing. If it does not, please let me know and we will agressively investigate the issue. It would be helpful if you could provide examples or instructions to reproduce the problem.
Thanks!

Moving Graph Palette out of Pane

Hello,
My current LV8.6.1 project has two modern XY graphs on the FP, separated by splitter bars and set to scale with the split. I have used property nodes to sync the graph scales and cursors using various graph change events. Because of this, the Graph Palette and Scale Legend from one graph effectively controls both graphs. I would like to make this clear to the user by moving these objects to a third pane at the top of the FP (something like a toolbar). Since these objects are part of the XY Graph, they are stuck in the pane with the graph.
Is there any way to recreate these objects in a different pane (across splitter boundaries)?
Thank you,
Peter

Sure, this is fairly easy, just takes a little trickery.
What you're going to do is introduce three new buttons, one each for the Cursor Movement Tool, the Zoom Tool, and the Panning Tool. Since these new buttons are not part of the graph, you can put them in any pane you want (or even on another VI...). They just need to have access to a control reference or property node of the two graphs you want to control. The property node that sets the active tool is "Pallette >> Active Tool". From help: "Sets the tool that is currently selected on the graph palette. 0 is the selection cursor, 1 is the panning tool, and 2-7 are the zoom tools."
Also, these button can be customized any way you want. If you want them to look exactly like those on the Graph Palette, go to "Customize Control" on any graph, and copy all six decals on those three buttons (shown in image below).
Variations:
Use a cluster of Radio Buttons to ensure only one of the three buttons can be selected.
Create another pop-up Radio Button cluster that shows up when you select the Zoom tool. Alternatively, if you want to limit the zoom to only a few of the zoom types (this is probably the case), perhaps it would be better to simply add the types of zoom you want to support to your top-level tool choice Radio Button cluster
a.lia-user-name-link[href="/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/88938"] {color: black;} a.lia-user-name-link[href="/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/88938"]:after {content: '';} .jrd-sig {height: 80px; overflow: visible;} .jrd-sig-deploy {float:left; opacity:0.2;} .jrd-sig-img {float:right; opacity:0.2;} .jrd-sig-img:hover {opacity:0.8;} .jrd-sig-deploy:hover {opacity:0.8;}

Graph palette like control

Hi,
I am trying to implement Graph palette like control for my application.
Graph palette has 3 controls - cursor, zoom and hand tool. Cool thing is the zoom control. When you click on that - a picture menu(like, picture ring control) pops up. How can I implement a control like this?
Thanks,
Ritesh

Hi Ritesh,
is it that bad to show the current state of the zoom mode selection?
If you want to simulate the graph palette in all and every feature, I would suggest to use (customized) boolean buttons. When the user clicks on "zoom" you open a small window (positioned above "zoom") showing another boolean buttons!
Maybe someone else will have a more simple idea...
Btw. you could have explained your actual point in this question a lot earlier...

Display LabVIEW graphs in realtime from previously acquired data

I have some raw LabVIEW data stored in a BIN file. This file contains about 4 channels of labview graph data that was acquired. How can I open the raw LabVIEW data and view the four steams in realtime? I need to be able to view the data as it scrolls across in the same way as when the data was acquired. Is there a program or premade VI to do this?
I will then use screen capture software to create videos of the labview graphs. If there is a way to directly convert the visual labview graph data into a video that displays the graph in the same way it was collected that would be ideal. For now I would be happy just getting the data displayed in the same way as it was collected.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I am having a hard time finding the other messages.
Basically you need to create a VI that reads in the binary data from the file. You also need to know the acquistion rate for that data, what is the dt between data points. Now feed that data into a for loop (auto-indexed) that feeds the data one point at a time to a waveform chart. The loop would have a wait statement equivalent to your dT of the data. Thus the loop runs at the same rate as you had acquired the data adding a point at a time to the waveform chart.

Use one graph palette for several graphs

I'm displaying information on two different graphs. But these two graphs must be coordinated : when I modify the zoom on one graph, the other graph plots its own data in the same interval of time than the first graph.
Is it possible to use only the graph palette of the first graph to control the zoom, cursors, etc... on both graphs?
Thank you.

Hello zyl7,
yes that's possible: just use property nodes to read properties from first graph and write those values to property node of second graph!

Configure graph palette

Hello,
Is it possible to configure the graph palette of a waveform chart?
I don't want all the tools to be accessible. For instance, on the zooming menu, only the vertical zoom should be available, and the other menus (hand tool) should not also be available.
I want to be in control of my x scale and I want to give the user the control of the Y scale and if all the tools are available, he will be able to control also the x scale and then there will be very big jumps on the graph, because I am programatically controlling it. The visual efect is not good.
I already tried to make some controls myself, controlling the max and min of the scale, but I really don't like the way it works compared with the native tools provided with the graphs.
Thanks,
Paulo

You can customize the graph palette, but not to the extend you wish. You can edit the graph control (Edit menu, then "Customize control...), and hide the unwanted tools, but you will not be able to access the pop-up menu in which the different zooms can be choosen.

Can I add a LabVIEW graph in my C# or C++ application?

I am using LabVIEW Full Development System 8.2 and I have the application builder. I would like to include a regular LabVIEW graph in my C# or C++ application. Is this possible somehow? I know LabVIEW can generate a dll from a VI, but can LabVIEW create, for example, an ActiveX or a .NET component from a VI?

No, you should have Measurement Studio to do that.

I have incorporated the graphs and charts as well as some bitmap images in XML Report (RTF File), When i am taking a output in pdf. it is coming fine and working properly, where as while taking the same output in excel, graphs/charts/bitmap images are not getting displayed. Only you can view the data.
can you please suggest what's the issue on the same and how can be resolved.
Thanks & Regards

Labview and Adobe Acrobat output

We currently can print (one at a time) a vi graph to Adobe pdf format,
where each instance promping for a file name. Having hundreds of data
acquistions, I would rather have a solution that prints to PDF files with
no
subsequent prompt for the user. Is there such an animal?

In response to your exact question, I don't know, if the filename is generated by you as a prompt in LabVIEW, then you are well on your way. If it is prompted for by the system, then good luck. Not having worked with this before, I can't offer much.
However...
If what you are trying to do is, as some others posting here, to print a graph periodically, then I can offer an alternative suggestion:
I once created a strip chart recorder program in LabVIEW 5.0.1. It took data at a configurable rate, and compiled it to a color graph. Periodically (also configurable, in number of data points???) it would print a b&w graph of the data collected in that set. At the end of a period, I would have a stack of neatly printed graphs, just like a strip chart record
er (sort of...)
The trick to doing this was to call a different VI with configured graphs, all neatly put up on a page, and populate the graphs with the latest data, and programmatically print the front panel. This allowed incredible flexibility with certain restrictions. As this was a front panel, you couldn't (in my version) easily configure the number of channels. All graphs were individual graphs, and were autoscaled, or scaling was manually configured. Additional information such as filename (data were also saved to disk at the same time it was printed), date, time, and other pertinent information were printed on the graph printout. It was quite inexpensive, and until daylight savings time, was quite reliable (good old windows 95 liked to shut down the system to tell you it was changing the time, and hold everything, waiting for you to say "ok"...gotta love it...)
This is an excellent method of producing strip-chart recorder type output to a printer without much fancy p
rogramming. While it does take a little bit of planning to execute properly, it really works well.
Hope that helps
