Picture ring control

Hi,
I have never used picture ring control or indicator ?
I have given a review work, a nameplate specification data is obtained from database and is stored in a global.
using proper indexing a number is given to picture ring indicator, and corresponding image is obtained.
How does this work any explanation?

I don't understand what you are asking here. Can you please clarify?
How to add image to picture ring indicator?
You copy an image to the clipboard and then you right-click on the picture indicator and select "Import Picture from Clipboard". This is in the Help.

  • Can I load pictures for a picture ring control at run time?

    Hi all,
    is there a way to achieve the above mentioned behaviour? Changing the graphics elements of a picture ring control or indicator at run time?

    You can do that with the picture indicator.  I have written a slide show program in LV and it works quite smoothly.  If you start to see delays, it is probably due to file read time rather than the display.  Read one or two files from disk ahead of when you will want to display them.  Updating the display from memory should be fast.

  • Slider value corresponding to picture ring control

    Hi guys.
    I am using LabView 2009. Currently I have a picture ring control in my VI ready for me to create an animation but I am suppose to have a numeric slider beside the picture ring control so that whenever my animation starts, my slider value would change. For example if the first image is being shown by the picture ring control then my slider value would be 0, second image shown by the picture ring, the slider value would be 15. I currently do not have any idea on how to achieve this so I do hope to receive all your prompt replies.
    Thanks.

    This is what I have done so far, but I can't seem to connect the stop button to the event structure and how do you also change the  to ?
    Hope to get your prompt reply.
    Thanks.

  • Where do I get "Picture Ring" control?

    Where do I get the "Picture Ring" control?
    I've seen/downloaded numerous examples, and I can make it run without problems; but, my Context Help just shows "Ring - No description available."
    I use LV 8.5, and the help on Picture Ring HERE shows that it is part of 8.1. Was it removed?
    Edit:
    Can I remove this post? I just found it. I have to be on the Front Panel, and I have to be searching the Classic section. I'm ok with deleting this post now, so others aren't bothered with it. Can that be done?

  • Assigning value to picture in picture ring control

    Hi,
    i made a picture ring that contains 23 images. I'm measuring a real-time signal and want to assign (for example) picture 1 to measured-voltage-value of 0.5 V, picture 2 to 1 V, picture 3 to 1.5 Volts, etc.
    How do i do this?
    Greetings

    It all depends on your code structure.
    While evaluating my code please have in mind that I am a LV novice. Therefore sometimes my code might violate some coding rules that I have to learn about myself. But how else could I do that...

  • Custom picture ring: disabling the popup menu

    I have custom picture ring controls -classic ones- and they work fine when clicking the increment and decrement arrows, however clicking anywhere else on the picture will cause a small popup to appear -like the ring menu control- which shows all pictures. I'd like to disable this during runtime; how to achieve?

    Hi Faust,
    it's just a picture ring with a decoration on top, but here you go...
    I only set the inner area transparent and left the border of the decoration in black so you can actually see the decoration...

  • Using picture ring with multiple controls

    I am using a picture ring with 21 pics in it.each pic represent a state, I am using a flat task structure to execute this states. the question is how can I increment the picture ring from inside every single state/task?
    regards
    Luis

    if you are already using a state machine you should not use a flat sequence structure. you can make your program more useful just by using the state machine itself and telling it which fram to go to when completed I have attached a VI that explains this eaxample

  • LabVIEW animation picture ring memory allocation

    I'm creating an animation in labview, I have 1,000 images that I need to flip through, I'm using a pict ring and flipping through the images... problem is after loading about 200 images (they're 20k each) my computer throw in the towel, the RAM is full the Virtual RAM might be full.... I'm wondering if there is a workaround around this?  Any kind of way to manipulate the memory so I can finish?  Maybe it's more of a computer thing than a LabVIEW thing... I was thinking, if I increase my machines virtual memory to "alot" and tell LabVIEW not to use th RAM just use the virtual memory that maybe I'd be able to continue, but I don't know if this is possible or how to do it... any suggestion/advice?
    much thanks!
    PS - I realize that there are other programs that are well suited for this and that LabVIEW really isn't animation software, but I MUST use LabVIEW to do this and I'm lookin for advice to find out whether or not this task is possible in LabVIEW. thanks.

    I would advise not to use the picture ring, if only because it's not very convenient.
    You can use the picture control, which will allow you to read in and display the PNG images one after the other (using the VIs in the picture palette) and here you have two options:
    Read the files in one at a time. This might be a problem if you do this quickly and repeatedly, but will solve any memory issues you might have.
    Read the files in once and keep them in memory. Note that the picture control does not have any compression, so the actual size of an image in RAM would be PIXELS x 3 bytes (or x 1 byte and a bit, if you have an 8-bit color depth), so the amount of RAM will depend on the size of the image. For a 200 x 200 image, this should be 120KB, assuming I did my math correctly.

  • Picture Ring Resize

    I made a picture ring.  When I did that, the pictures in the ring is a little too large, so I had to size up to ring in order to have the whole picture show up.  Is there a way to make the ring and the picture in the ring change size a the same time?  
    I have the pic ring as a type def, and it is way to big.  When I use the type def in my applicatino, I need to size it down.  When I do that, the picture in the ring is covered up.

    Hello jyang72211,
    Unfortunately, there is nothing built in to the ring control that allows this functionality (in terms of properties or invoking options). You can control the size of the ring by creating a property node and writing to height or width of the ring control (right click the ring control and go to create>property node>Named Numeric Size). However, there is currently no way to get the size of the picture within the ring control. 
    They may be a way to do this with a .NET or ActiveX control; however, through LabVIEW there is not a way to directly do this. I hope this info was helpful.

  • Picture Ring

    Hi all,
    I would like to know if there are other ways apart from using Picture Ring to control the pictures that I want to display on my Front Panel.
    Because I do not know how to control my Picture Ring to let it appear based on the result, based on whatever button is being clicked on.
    For an example, right now I am doing a project on an automated food ordering system, and to show the picture on my front panel, the program first have to know, for an example, what food order is being chosen. So the program will only "find" the picture and display on the Front Panel accordingly.
    It works like that: When I select a food item by clicking on an OK Button named "Chicken Cutlet", my program is supposed to display the Chicken Cutlet picture at the "View Orders" page after calculating the total price and all. Right now, my issue is that I do not know how to make my program work in the way that it can select and display the right picture automatically once it senses what OK Button is being clicked.
    I hope you guys are able to provide me with an alternative so as to meet the criteria of my ordering program!
    Thank you!

    Hi Miu,
    Take a look at this example. Put images (Trial) named "Item 1" ,"Item 2", "Item 3" in Picture folder. Make sure image extension is .jpg.
    You can use similar program in your application. With this you can change  image of food item without changing code.If you use picture ring, if there is any change in picture you will have to make exe again. If you want,you can use .PNG files. Just use vi to read PNG file instead of .JPG.
    Try this and let me know.
    Best of luck

    The fact that the error is gone when you don't connect the indicator is good. Even better it is super.
    It means the compiler removes that specific node from the execution stack if it isn't needed.

  • How to change the numbers of items in a ring control in run time ?

    Hi !
    I would like change the numbers of items in a ring control in run time, but I can´t.
    Thanks.

    Hello blaze,
    did you try the "Strings And Values []" property of the ring?
    LabView7.1 help says:
    Array of clusters containing the strings from which you can select in the ring control
    and the numeric values for each item. Use the Strings [] property if you do not need to
    assign specific numeric values to each item.
