Ring control

Is it possible to enter the values in a Ring Control properties box in hexadecimal form?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After you drop the ring control on the FP, command-click and select Display Format, and with the 'Numeric' dropdown selected (only choice on a text ring), choose 'Hexadecimal' in the type list.  Now when you go to the 'Edit Items' tab, the values should display in hex as shown.
Is that what you meant?

  • 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.

  • How to add items dynamically to the DropDown Ring control in Web UI Builder

    Hi All,
    Is there any way to add the item names to DropDown Ring Control in Web UI Builder?
    Or
    Is there any other control available to make selection in the Front Panel which can be dynamically loaded?
    Thanks,
    Alagar

    We do not currently have a solution for populating the items in a ring dynamically. 
    Thanks for the clarification.
    Seems incredible after all these years that such functionality (dynamically populating a ring control) is still beyond Labview. I must be missing something.
    However, I'd suggest a combobox is closer than a listbox as a workaround.
    [edit]
    nevermind, it actually can be done (well, maybe not in the webUI), I found the explanation here http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/FB0409491FAB16FA86256D08004FCE7E

  • How to remove focus from a Ring Control in a PDA application?

    Hello,
        In a PDA application, i have observed that when we select a pull-down Ring control, the focus is retained in the control and the text of the control appears highlighted. The only way out is to tap an empty portion of the PDA application screen to remove focus from the control. Is there any way to avoid this? Is there a method to remove focus from the control programatically?
    Note: Version of LabVIEW that we are using: LabVIEW 8.5 Professional Development System for Windows Vista/XP/2000 and LabVIEW 8.5 PDA Module for Windows Mobile.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Subhashini

    Hi Vsh,
        Thanks for ur response. Setting the key focus property node of the ring control to false removed the focus from the control. I guess it was a silly question (have started LabVIEW devp. recently).
    Thanks & Regards,
    Subhashini

  • Dynamically changing elements in an array of menu ring controls

    I have an array (32 rows, 5 columns) of menu ring controls.  When a menu selection is made in the first column of any given row, the contents of the menu ring for the subsequent columns (same row) may change.  If this is possible, how would you do it?  Thanks.

    For example, if I had a menu ring of 1,2,3,4.  I want to write some logic that says when 4 is selected, then menu ring in the next row changes to 5,6,7,8.
    A ring is just a number as far as LabVIEW is concerned, so the underlying cluster need only store numbers, not rings.
    In the example I posted in a linked thread, where controls are moved around on top of a table, you need only one ring control. Each time you show that ring, you can assign a new set of strings and values to it, using the Strings and Values property. You can decide what set of strings to show based on the existing data in the cluster, which will get updated each time you change the value in a cell of the table. Does that make sense? I don't have time right now to put together a more detailed example than what I've already uploaded in other threads, and it's only a small change to that.
    You update the menu ring at the time the user wants to select a value from it, not at the time the user changes the value that determines what set of menu items to show.

  • 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?
    Best regards,
    Matthias
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    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.

  • Auto-width adjust boolean property for ring control

    That would be nice to have an invoke node to make a ring control to auto-adjust its width depending on the longest string from String[] items, the function would manage by itself how many pixels are required to show any selected item by its font size, bold, italic...
    This would be an option for the developer so it wouldn't break any existing code.

     In 1000 words.  Anternately you could Create Referance from the terminal and wire it to a Property node

    Open up your Stations Parameters Control.ctl file and change it from a Strict Type Def. to just an ordinary Type Def. (the pull down menu is located next to the font selector).

  • Fast method to fill Table with ring controls from index

    Dear Users,
    I have a rather big table that contains one row with ring control cells.
    Teh table is filled from a few arrays before usage and the user is supposed change the value of certain cells by selecting the ring items.
     I have 2 questions:
    1.) is there a fast way to fill the ring items (value list ) of a complete column ?
         All cells should have the same ring elements.
         (The function InsertTableCellRangeRingItem() is rather slow...)
    2.) is there a fast way to fill the column using an array of ring indices ?
         I have an array of indeces present that I want to use to fill the whole column at one.
         Using SetTableCellValFromIndex() is rather slow. I would need a function SetTableCellRangeValFromIndex
         Is there any possibility ?
    Thanks for your help !!!

  • Ring Control Vs. Enumeration Control

    Hi,
    Can someone tell me what is the difference between a ring control and an enumeration control, other than the fact that I can assign any integer value to a ring label?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    tbob wrote:
    ...The value of the enum is a string...
    Hi tbob,
    Sorry, but the above statement can be easily misinterpreted, therefore I will
    try to clarify the difference between the TYPE and the DATA of an Enum.
    An Enum TYPE consists of a collection of strings (think of it as an array of
    strings) that are indexed. The value (DATA) you pass to and from an Enum in run
    time is only the index value - NOT the actual string. Test this by connecting a
    simple numeric control to an Enum indicator and observe that the numeric
    control will change the index, hence the selected string, of the Enum.
    "Well, how come a Case Structure then shows the strings and not just the
    index numbers when an Enum is connected to the Case Selector terminal?",
    you might ask yourself. This is because the Case Structure is intelligent
    enough to retrieve the "string list" from the Enum TYPE when they get
    connected in edit mode. After that, the Enum and Case Structure will not exchange
    "strings" until the Enum TYPE gets edited, and that can never happen
    in run mode.
    Notice that if you want to pass data between two different Enums, you will get
    a broken arrow, unless you remove the TYPE information using for example a
    "To Unsigned Word Integer" function:
    Here is also a KnowledgeBase that describes the practical differences between Enums and Text Rings:
    What is the Difference Between a Text Ring and an Enum?
    PhilP, I hope that I helped making it clear to you how the Enum works, otherwise let
    me know.
    Have fun!

    Hi Veeru,
    you change the index of your array between 0 and 1 for every element. Do you want a binary display? If yes you switch the on color of your LEDs to blue and off to black. Then you can use the attached code.
    Hope it helps.

  • Can Insert a ring control to the multicolumn's cell?

    My labview version is 8.6, using multicolumn to show some test info. Now want to insert the ring control in to a cell. Could you please tell me if there is any way ?
    David

    There is a hard way to do it:
    Use a ring which is normally invisible. When the user clicks a cell (propably you want to limit this to certain columns), you move the ring at the position of the cell and make it visible. It needs some coding to make it work, so any other approach is preferable. Furthermore, I didn't succeed in aligning everything properly (the border of the ring did match the cell border, but the string inside the ring was misaligned to the strings in the other cells).

  • How to relate ring control with multiple codes

    Hello everyone,
    I've been searching everywhere without finding answer, please apologize if its already in a post. What I am trying to do is to gather different codes and put them together. These pieces of codes control certain devices and currently I am using different interfaces for each device, so I want to control them in the same interface. I am using a ring recessed menu ring in order to select the appropriate device for the desired application. So, if someone could possibly tell me how to put the ring control to work I would appreciate.
    Thanks,
    LM

    Hi LM,
    Let me start by ensuring my understanding of your question.  You have multiple devices, each which require different code to operate them.  You are currently using different programs to control each instrument and would like to combine into one.  You want to allow the user to select from a Ring Control which device to use then execute the correct code.  Is this correct?
    Assuming it is, this is fairly straightforward.  Add the labels and values to your Ring Control as well as a GO button to your UIR.  Add a callback function to the GO button.  In the callback function, add conditional code that executes a different block depending on the selected value of the Ring Control.  Let me know if you have questions on this process.

  • Ring Control Output is the Item name and not the value

    Hello. I am new to Labview. I am experimenting with labview and just creating simple VI's to learn about the software. I have placed a ring control and attached an indicator to that ring control. I thought that the purpose of a ring control was to select an item and output a value. For example, I have placed 3 items in the ring properties (Red, Blue, Yellow) and given those items values of 1,2,3. But when I run the VI and select Blue, I was expecting the indicator attached to the control to read 2 but instead it says 'Blue' (same for other items as well). What am I misunderstanding here or doing incorrectly? I have also attached a screenshot.

    Your indicator is another ring that has the same name value pairs, so it is going to display the name associated with the value.  Delete the ring indicator and just drop in a regular numeric indicator.  Then it will show you the value.
