Programmatically controlling error indicator

Hi,
I have an error IO indicator that I want to make invisible on the front panel, but make visible when there is an error, I don't know if this is possible or not.
Thank you.

You should be able to just wire the error cluster's "status" to the "visible" property node for the indicator that you want to be visible when a error is present.

How can I hide a text label as I would a control or indicator?

As I have multiple indicators that must have the same identifier to the operator I can not use the indicator label as the items identifier. At times I want to hide the indicator and label. How can I hide the label? Please recall a text label just sits on the front panel as desired. It isn't within a raised or lowered box. In the attached sample I would like to hide "MyLabel" when the date indicator is hidden.

Here�s a way. Its a little involved, but it will work:
1. Customize a control or indicator to remove the border (I used a string control)
a. Right click on the control or indicator, go to �Advanced � Customize�
b. Click on the wrench on the tool bar to enter edit mode
c. Select the border and drag it off to the side
d. Reduce the size of the border to a single pixel (it won�t let you delete it)
e. Rubber band a box around the 1 pixel border to select it and use the cursor keys to move it within the �white space� of the string control. It will effectively disappear. You will NOT be able to move it with the mouse as LV will try to resize the border instead of moving it.
f. Using the color tools �suck up� the background color of your vi and �paint� i
t into the white space of the control.
g. Make the control the correct size to hide your label(s). Make sure it is right as you will NOT be able to resize the control outside of the �customize� function (i.e.: while on your front panel)
h. Click on the tweezers to go back to customize mode.
i. Give your control a descriptive name
j. Right click on the control, go to �Visible Items� and uncheck �label� to hide the label.
k. Save your new control
2. Back on your front panel, place your new control over what you want to hide and programmatically make it visible or invisible as desired.
I have included a copy of your original vi, modified to hide and unhide your label. I have also included the customized string control that accomplishes this. You may resize the control as needed by �customizing it as described above.
The only disadvantage to this method is that if you want to hide multiple labels they must be in the same area of the front panel. Otherwise you must have seve
ral �hiding� controls.
An advantage is that you will not have to make the original control or indicator (i.e.: the date indicator) visible or invisible as it can be hidden as well.
Hope this does what you want.
Good Luck.

Print only a specific control or indicator on a front panel to HTML document

Is there any way to print a specific control or indicator (not the whole front panel) to HTML document? I am trying to print a report that has a graph and some indicator value on it.

There is a VI called "Append Control Image to Report.vi" which will allow you to do this. It's located in the Functions>>Report Generation pallette. Take a look at this and see if it's what you're looking for.

Removing the default (View As Icon) for the control and Indicator

If you remove the default selection View As Icon for all the control and indicator, it is good for the programmer for easy to visualize the Block diagram code.

This has already been suggested - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Default-Option-Do-NOT-Place-Front-Panel-Terminal-as-Icon/idi-p/926871
Also, note that you can already change it on your computer as mentioned there.

How to control errors in BPM

HI all,
We are developing a quite complicated BPM. We need to controle errors in File Adapter, just in case the comunication channel cannot write/read (for example with a wrong FTP account). In case of error we need to send an email. So we are trying to develop a module in the file adapter. We are not sure about behaviour of the BPM if one of the steps have an error. I mean the execution of the module will continue the BPM in case of error in the file adapter?
Many thanks in advance
Regards
Noelia

Problem in placing controls and indicator on imported pictures

hi.
i have a problem in placing controls and indicator on imported pictures on labview front pannel.
when i place a control or indicator on imported picture ..the control or indicator don't stay at the top of picture but go behind the picture...
kindly tell me what to do to avoid this....as complete project has been made and now i have to place all controls and indicator of front pannel on to a picture.

The Front Panel is built in layers. Each new control or decoration you add is placed in the top most layer.
To change this, select the picture, click the "Reorder" button (that's the rightmost button in the row of buttons on the toolbar, the one with the 2 arrows forming a circle), and select Move to Back. Your picture will be moved to the background and your controls will be in front of it.
Try to take over the world!

Documentation of a control or indicator

I was documenting a control and indicator using the Properties->Documentation section. In Labview 8.0, you can add new lines into the Description section. In Labview 8.2, I can no longer add new lines in the area. This function fortunately works in the VI documentation. Is there any special codes that will allow me to start new lines, e.g. <B> other </B> will bold the text.

Use <Shift>-<Enter> (on Windows).

Elicense control error

Hello all. Everytime i try to start logic without my nexus license dongle i get the eLicense control error and logic refuses to start. The problem is that I do a lot of work in logic on the plane and in hotel rooms and don't always have my license key handy. I should still be able to work on that session and just not access those particular plug ins unless i have the key installed. I don't see why i cannot even get the session to open. Does anyone know a workaround for this. I am buying the uad satellite bundle and im sure im going to have the same problem with this. But my main goal is to be able to open any track and work on a particular part weather or not my license is plugged in. This is how it is in ableton. The session will open but i just cant access nexus or UAD. PLEASE HELP

I wonder if you could setup two separate accounts on your laptop and only install nexus on one of them? Not sure if the nexus software is installed into the user library or a global location, but seems like it would be worth a try.
Excellent suggestion....
If that doesn't work the OP could just move the Nexus AU out of the Components folder before starting an "on the road" session.
That would be in Root/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components
Logic never did have graceful exit strategies... if it finds something amiss it often tends to freeze or crash.

Error when re-starting an SQL Server Instance from VBA - [SQL-DMO]Service Control Error: Access is denied.

Our Application needs to have the use of the [Named Pipes] and [TCP/IP] Protocols. To save our Users the hassle of having to enable them manually our application has always done it for them and then stopped and restarted SQL Server. However
since the advent of Vista and Windows 7, the restart stopped working. We solved the problem by detecting the failure to re-start and giving Users sufficient instructions for them to do it themselves. Since this only occurs during installation on
the Server, this approach has not been too much of a hassle. However we would like to tidy this up if possible. This the VBA code that is causing the problem:
    obj_SQLServerInstance2.Start _
        g_SQL_UseWindowsAuthentication, _
        SQLServerInstance, _
        UserName, _
        Password
This still works when run under XP, but fails under Windows 7 with the Error:
[SQL-DMO]Service Control Error: Access is denied.
Does anyone know how to resolve the problem?

This still works when run under XP, but fails under Windows 7 with the Error:
[SQL-DMO]Service Control Error: Access is denied.
Hello Brian,
Under Windows 7 you have to run the VBA script with admin permission, a normal user don't have permissions to start/stop services.

What is the best way to specify the color of a control or indicator?

What is the best way to command the color of a control or indicator?
Can color be programmed within the code? If so, which versions of LV have this feature?
Thanks,

You can change the color of controls and indicators by using the 'color' parameter in a property node. I believe this has always been possible in LabVIEW. (At least back to Ver. 4)
Here is a little example (LV7.1):

How do I fix "could not be added to AVI control" error?

How do I fix "could not be added to AVI control" error? I get this error when loading a file via the Clip/Insight Player.

Hello acacord,
are you working with an AVI using the Indeo codec? On Windows XP, after
installing the service pack 2, files using this particular codec cannot
be played if they are placed in the temporary Windows folder. This is
due to Windows restrictions, not to CLIP.
If you run a cip file in CLIP, it would unpack all its content
(including the AVI) to that temp folder and play the video from there -
which is not possible.
With the current version, all CLIP examples are using the Radius codec
instead ov the Indeo. As you can see ich you make a test with one of
the example projects - it is working well.
So in your case, just use a different codec than the Indeo.

Can I programmatically control an xbox 360 console from a PC using a USB cable?

I have an application that may require LabVIEW, some software normally associated with LabVIEW or both...
I would like to be able to programmatically control an Xbox 360, via a PC, and through the use of a USB cable connecting both. I have setup a separate Xbox 360 console as a "dedicated server" for my gaming clan. I would like to be able to have the PC issue scripted commands according to a schedule, that will cause the console to power up, start the specific game (disk in the machine already), and then proceed through a number of Xbox 360 controller button actuations to cause the game to essentially be ready to play.
If possible, I would like to find software that I could install on my PC (currently run with a Windows XP SP2 OS, but I have access to many versions of Windows and also Linux and soon, Solaris Unix).
I have tried using various Infrared devices that connect to and are controlled by my PC, but none so far have allowed the infrared signals to work once the game is launched (apparently, only controller signals generated through a USB cable or through RF from a wireless Xbox 360 remote work once the game is launched - and that probably because the IR signals are meant to control the console as a media device).
I would appreciate any direction that you 'all could offer. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your replies everyone, and thanks to NI for this great forum!
The last solution appears to be pretty close to what I'd like to do. If I understand you Robert, I would attach a DAQ to my PC via USB and would control that device via software, then the DAQ connects to a digital output controlled relay (looks multiple wires, and screw-on connections) and then there would be separate wires connecting 'channels' (my term) from the relay to individual button wires inside of the gaming controller? The signals coming from the controller following this would therefore appear as normal.
If this is correct, could you suggest any specific devices for this? I see that NI makes several USB DAQ's includng the USB-6501, 6008, and 6009. I also have seen many digital output controlled relays available from different vendors. I could use some assistance with the finer points for choosing the correct ones to purchase.
In case it makes any difference although the controller has analog functions my requirements are for only the digital buttons only as I would simply be proceeding through the Console's menu (left, right, up, down, enter/select, etc.), launching the game, and then within the game continuing to choose among the game's menu items, ultimately according to a script. So, I don't see any need to be able to actuate either of the 'sticks' which are analog in nature.
Thanks!

How i can use labview control or indicator in VB or C++

Hi,
I would like to use labview control or indicator in thierd party application like VB or C++ or .net. Please help me, how i can use this?
Thanks

You can't. A LabVIEW control is a LabVIEW internal object that has no direct link to any OS object entity on any platform it runs on. As such other applications would have no means to access that control object or interact with it in any meaningful way.
Instead you should probably look into ComponentWorks from National Instruments. That is a collection of ActiveX (and .Net?) controls similar to the ones you find in LabVIEW, and those can be embedded into Visual Basic or any other development environment that allows embedding ActiveX controls.
