Not seeing block diagram when opening vi

Hi,
This is trivial but frustrating. When I open a vi I see the front panel, and then have to press ctrl E to see the block diagram.
Can anyone tell me if there a way of opening the vi and seeing both the front panel and block diagram immediately ?
Many thanks,
Solved!

Press control when you double click the sub-vi and that will open both the FP with the diagram on top. On windoze

Saved block diagram wont open

I am a new labview user so this may be obvious, but I have a problem nonetheless:
I have drawn a simple program and saved it but when I open it again, only the front panel opens and not the block diagram as well, which I wish to edit. I am openning labview on the same machine, same version etc. what do I need to do to get this working properly?
Thanks to anyone for their help

Hi Dougonlabview,
Just press Ctrl+E. This will bring you to the diagram. Pressing Ctrl+E again will bring the front panel back on top.

What VIs do not have block diagram?

Hi,
I'm studying for CLAD and theres a question in the CLAD Topics details about what VI do not have block diagram?. I read in help that polymorphic VIs don´t have Diagram Block or Front Panel ( Labview help / Creating Sub_VIs). However, I can see that if I make double click in a polymorphic VI, for example, Read Key.vi or DAQmx Timing.vi they have front panel, moreover, they have a diagram block, so I am missing about that......
I know too that VI express do no have diagram block or front panel, the have a configure window. If I select open the front panel option, the VI express changes to Sub-VI and I have access to front panel or block diagram. So I think VIs express are those VIs that do not have diagram block. Am I right?
Anyway, there a doc or paper that give me information about this topic?
Thanks for the anwsers....

The fact that controls have the .ctl extension does not mean that they are not a VI. You could rename a .ctl file to have a .vi or .caribbean extension and it would still work the same.
LabVIEW considers them to be VIs and displays then in the All VIs in Memory property and other places.
Incidentally, looking at the help for the VI Type property shows the following:
Indicates the type of VI. Invalid VI type, Standard VI, Control VI, Global VI, Polymorphic VI, Configuration VI, SubSystem, Facade VI, Method VI. LabVIEW returns the invalid VI type value for invalid VI references.
LabVIEW returns the SubSystem value for subVIs for the LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation Module that you can place only on a simulation diagram.
The Configuration VI type is not supported.
The last two are both used for XControls and both have diagrams.

HT201413 Why does iTunes not see my iPod when connected?

My computer does not see my ipod when I connect it to it. Nor does it come up in iTunes. How can I sync my music with this problem going on?

Try one or more of the following:
> Restart your computer
> Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
> Reset iDevice Settings (will not delete everything)
> Go to My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if your iDevice shows (should show as a digital camera)
> Restore iDevice completely (will delete everything)
> Make sure both iTunes and iOS firmware is Up-To-Date

I told my wireless network to forget two airport expresses so that I could rename them. Now the network does not see them even when plugged in about 10 feet away from the airport extreme base station. Does "forget" mean forever? How to reset?

I told my wireless network to forget two airport expresses 1 1st gen, 1 2nd gen so that I could rename them. Now the network does not see them even when plugged in about 10 feet away from the airport extreme base station. The network does recognize a totally new 2nd gen express. Does "forget" mean forever? How to reset?

The network does recognize a totally new 2nd gen express.
Then, it sounds like you have already reset the 2nd Gen Express, and now you need to set it up again, like you did the first time. Only, this time, assign the device name that you want to the AirPort Express.
Do NOT use the name that Apple suggests.....which will be something goofy like........Sueswimsf's Red Apple AirPort Express
Assign a simple name.....something like 2ndGenExpress

Can't see block diagram of an auto-running VI

Hello,
I have an old and dirty VI that runs automatically when opened. I cannot see the block diagram because when I stop it, LabVIEW shuts down. There is probably that 'evil' function Stop LabVIEW at the end.
Is there a way to avoid that behavior?
The VI was written a while back in LabVIEW 7.0.
Thanks for the help!

One other possible trick to stop the vi without it exiting might be, on Windows machines, to do a "Ctrl ." (holding the CTRL control key while pressing the "period" key)
Not sure there was a "Book X", don't think the Greeks used Roman numerals! ;-)
I have actually seen cases where this doesn't work. Most of the time it happens when in a producer/consumer architecture where the exit logic is not correct and the loop with the event structure exits and the consumer is waiting for something to happen. I was aware of the "Ctrl ." abort but have been forced to kill LabVIEW because the abort wasn't processed.

Block diagram wont open properly

I have written a big labview program for my application. I have been workig on it for 6 months. I keep adding the peice of code every day and save it with a new name every week.
At one point when I added some code into my program, the block diagram started acting weird and wont let me work on the program easily. For If I add an add function, it would take time and insert this function a couple of inches away where I pionted my cursor. Another issue was that; if I add a while loop or for loop or any other structure it would take time and one added it would add a couple of inches away and expand the main program window (Block Diagram) too.
since then, I started using my company's laptop to develop the code. I have no issues with that lap top till today.
But now when I tranfer this program back to my desk top. It wont open the Block Diagram and wont let me edit it. When I try to open the block diagram. the window appear black out and the LabView stops working.
Is this issure ralted to the graphics of my compute or any thing else? Please help me. Thanks

There is a maximum size that a VI can be. What that exact size is I don't know. It does sound like you have one HUGE VI. If that is the case you really need to think more about using subVIs. It will make your program much easier to maintain and extend.
Also, rather than renaming it once a week you should consider using source code contol. Even if you are the only developer it is a much better way to manage your code. SVN is free and very easy to set up. If you do use source code control make sure you separate the compiled code from the source code. This is an option in the VI properties.

I cannot display the block diagram when the VI is running

It is not possible to show the block diagram while the VI is runs. The frontpannel remains on the screen. When the VI is started from the block diagram, the frontpannel pops up and stays on the screen

Are the VI Properties >> Window Appearance... set to dialog or modal? That could keep the front panel on top.

See file path when opening a file is CS

I have wondered this for some time. When I open/place a file into CS, it will by default open to the most recent files and folders accessed. Sometimes I have more than one folder by the same name (one on server, one on my desktop for example). I often would like to double check the path where these files are located. But the path does not show up when opening a file from the application. Show path bar is only visible when you access the files straight from the finder. Is there any way to see the path from "open or place"? I often have to re-establish the path to ensure I have the right one.

Error 22: Window does not have a constructor. when opening photomerge . panorama ??????

Whats up???   Error 22: Window does not have a constructor. when i select photomerge / panorama on my imac.    ( elements 11)

Try resetting the PSE preferences by
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
   3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
One of the similar threads is found here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/622755 which is for Photoshop but should work for PSE as well.
Thanks,

I'm attempting to transfer files, address book, etc from an external hard drive to my new Mac-mini using migration assistant. The external drive is showing up on my desktop but Migration Assistant is not seeing the drive when searching for devices

I'm attempting to migrate files, address book, maile, etc to my new Mac Mini using an external hard drive and Migration assistant. I followed the instructions on using Migration Assistant to do this but Migration Assistant is not seeing the external drive, which is displayed on my desktop

I've been chasing this problem all afternoon. I had to reformat my internal drive on my MBP and reinstall Mountain Lion Start up assistant wouldn't see my extrnal drive with the Time Machine files on it. After many tries, I skipped the restore there and let the system boot. I could see my external drive from Finder and the files looked OK. I was told to use Migration Assistant and it had the same problem.
I saw a hint on one of these posts that the icon that you see and is label Macintosh HD is actually your backup disk and it is telling you that it has a copy of your internal Macintosh HD. I went ahead and told it to continue and it started to restore my apps, settings, and documents. It's been going for a couple of hours, and is close to being done. I expect to see my old system restored when it is finished.
Wish that Apple would put some type of note that it is seeing the backup. That is most confusing and seems to be a problem for lots of users.
It's been a month or so since your post Did your get it to work?

Notes become unreadable jargon when opened in player

I have tried to put in both word files and adobe reader files into the notes on my I-pod classic. The files appear ok, but when opened in my player - the text is all unreadable jargon.
Do I need to use a different file type or something? The apple support manual says it should work with any word processing proggramme.
Thank you for any clarification anybody has.
best regards, Silfan

They need to be plain text files, less than 4kB.

Not enough memory message when opening excel and powerpoint

I am running Mac OS X version 10.5.8. I installed Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac about a year ago and was running it without any trouble until about 3 months ago. I can still open Word, but receive a 'not enough memory' message when I try to open Excel or Powerpoint. Has anyone else encountered this problem and does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks

Yes I have and I think that's when the problem occurred. I've just read another post from someone who was having the same problem. Apparently the solution is just to keep hitting the escape button every time the error message pops up and eventually the application opens! Not very high tech, but I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on.
