Satellite A200-1N1: "Satellite" LED on the front panel is not shining

Hi folks!
I notice that my LED with "Satellite" word on the front panel doesn't shine.
Do you have any assumptions about causes?

Hi Maresha,
The front 'logo' LED is enabled or disabled using a BIOS option 'Display Front Logo' which can be set to ON or OFF as you require. Access your BIOS settings (F2 during boot up) and check that this setting is set to 'ON'.
regards,

Screen capture of the front panel automatically

I've got a VI that analyzes a data file and outputs a graph, some numbers/notes, and a pass/fail message to the front panel each time we run it. I want to be able to automatically save all that data into one easy-to-access file (no html) after running it, and ideally this would be accomplished by just capturing the screen of the front panel and saving it as a .jpg.
I've looked up how to do this on the forums and searching the web, but no solutions have come up. I've looked at the "Get Image" method, but that only lets me get the image of one object in the front panel, and not the entire front panel screen. I read something about referencing the front panel as an global, and inputting that into the "Get Image" method, but I can't get that to work and don't know if that's possible.
Is there a way to make a straightforward automatic screen capture of the VI front panel? How can I program that? (Manually using the "pinrt screen" function off the keyboard and copying and pasting it won't be feasible for this application).
-- Thanks for the guidance

No sure why you couldn't find a reference to it but there is the VI method Get Panel Image.

Programatically alther the properties of the front panel of another vi (vi server)

hi all,
check out the attached code (lv 8.6). this is a standard example of how to modify the properties of another vi (test.vi and test1.vi in this case). although the properties of the called vi are set, the front panel does not react accordingly. for example:i set fp.minimizable to false and double checked that the value is actually set. but the front panel still is minimizable. why? where is the error?
thanks in advace

p.s if you want to run the attached code, you have to create a test vi in the same directory in which the code is saved.

Minor errors in your code :
1 - set "wait until done to false" when running Test.vi from your vi
2 - connect "Show menu bar" to the case input instead of a constant
Then everything runs nicely. See modified vi below.

How do you control LED lights on the front panel to identify the number of steps a stepper motor has taken?

I am controlling a stepper motor that is coupled with a valve with four outlets (using an Arduino). I've got a general understanding of how to control the motor, but I want LED lights on the front panel to light up that indicate which outlet the valve is currently at after the steps are taken. The method I'm thinking about involves a lot of repetitive code. I'm not that experienced with LabVIEW, I'm assuming I need some sort of loop structure but I don't know how to set it up in order to control the sequence of the LEDs. I've attached my current block diagram for a visual aid if needed.
Attachments:

I was thinking about using the Stepper To Go and Stepper Write functions four separate times, using the same constants for the steps each time since the distance between each outlet is equivalent. The only difference would be what's connected to the "steps remaining" node, which would be the function that activates one of the four LEDs (if that makes sense). I was thinking that doing it this way would be a little counterintuitive since the only thing that needs to be changed is the LED indicator.

How to display the status of a SubVI on the front panel?

Hi,
I am writing a program to control an instrument through a serial communication port. The control and communication functions are integrated in a SubVI and they work fine.
In the front panel of the main VI, I want to add some indicators to display the status of those controls in real time, such as using some LEDs to show whether the program is running in some loops of the SubVI, or use some indicators to show some variables in the SubVI.
I tried using global variables, but I can't make them work in real time (or maybe I didn't do it right). The values of the global variables are actually changing on the fly, but the indicators on the front panel wouldn't reflect those changes until the program return
ed from the SubVI.
Is there a way to do this in Labview 6.0.2?
Your earlist help is very much appreciated.
Best regards,
Hua

Hua,
I have attached an example in which a front panel boolean indicator is toggled in the subvi. Also, a front panel stop button is used to stop the loop execution in the subvi. References are passed to the subvi instead of the actual control values.
Without seeing your code I'm not sure what was going on with the globals, but you had to have a data dependency somewhere which was keeping the code from running until after the execution of the subvi. The code must be totally independent of the subvi in order to run. Also, in order for the update to work it would have to be operating in a loop.

I just keep everything except the case. No luck, i could not connect the front panel such as power switch button, reset button, HDD LED...etc which came with the new case. Any idea how to connect those buttons? THanks very much.

Yes. The leads in the picture I took from the case manual go on the appropriate pins on the F_Panel block in the lower right near the SATA ports. The pinout should be marked next to the jack in terms very similar to the wire designations.

The problem is in the delimiters in your text file. By default, Read From Spreadsheet File.vi expects a tab delimited file. You can specify a delimiter (like a space), but Read From Spreadsheet File.vi has a problem with repeated delimiters: if you specify a single space as a delimiter and Read From Spreadsheet File.vi finds two spaces back-to-back, it stops reading that line. Your file (as I got it from your earlier post) is delimited by 4 spaces.
Here are some of your choices to fix your problem.
1. Change the source file to a tab delimited file. Your VI will then run as is.
2. Change the source file to be delimited by a single space (rather than 4), then wire a string constant containing one space to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi.
3. Wire a string constant containing 4 spaces to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi. Then your text file will run as is.
Depending on where your text file comes from (see more comments below), I'd vote for choice 1: a tab delimited text file. It's the most common text output of spreadsheet programs.
Comments for choices 1 and 2: Where does the text file come from? Is it automatically generated or manually generated? Will it be generated multiple times or just once? If it's manually generated or generated just once, you can use any text editor to change 4 spaces to a tab or to a single space. Note: if you want to change it to a tab delimited file, you can't enter a tab directly into a box in the search & replace dialog of many programs like notepad, but you can do a cut and paste. Before you start your search and replace (just in the text window of the editor), press tab. A tab character will be entered. Press Shift-LeftArrow (not Backspace) to highlight the tab character. Press Ctrl-X to cut the tab character. Start your search and replace (Ctrl-H in notepad in Windows 2000). Click into the Find What box. Enter four spaces. Click into the Replace With box. Press Ctrl-V to paste the tab character. And another thing: older versions of notepad don't have search and replace. Use any editor or word processor that does.

I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?

Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Is there a way to use the built-in Datalogging and programmatically log the front panel while the vi is running?

I would like to use the built-in Data Logging feature. There is the "Log at Completion" option, but is there a way to programmatically make a new log record while running? I looked around in VI server and couldn't find any methods that would do that. Currently, I am grabbing all of the front panel control references using VI Server and if there are any changes, the changed values are written to a log file along with a date/time stamp. I'm mostly dealing with buttons, which simply change from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0, so it's not too hard to visualize what was pressed. It works okay for reconstructing what happened, but it would be much nicer to use the built-in fe
ature because you can "replay" directly onto the front panel and actually see what the changes were. However, without being able to programmatically make a new log, it won't work for me.

Jake,
There are several options here.
I would suggest using your own code for datalogging. The datalogging you are referring to is primarily for debug, and one shot datalogs of front panel indicators (and controls?), not including graphs, etc.
If you go to the file functions, you will see a menu for datalogging. These functions will allow you to save your data, as you need it, simply, and in a compact format.
I recommend opening the datalog file, doing all your file operations, and closing the file before the program is complete. There are several examples of this in the examples database.
Good luck

Why doesn't LabView scale my objects properly in the front panel?

In LabView 6.02 (Windows 2000) I have experienced problems when using the "Scale all objects on panel as the window resizes" option under VI properties. Try the following example: Go to the front panel and draw two arrows (from Decorations), one vertical and one horizontal (make sure they are perfectly straight). Now, resize the window, using the bottom right corner several times. You will soon find that the two arrows become increasingly missaligned and are not perpendicular to each other anymore. The problem gets worse the more you play around with the window size and they will never return to their original state. Installing the 6.02 patch did not seem to help at all.

Dear Gustav,
First of all, some objects do not scale whatsoever in LabVIEW. These include refnum controls and text.
As far as the "scale all objects on the front panel as the window resizes" option goes, you have brought attention to an issue that I will announce to the R&D team. Currently, when you resize the screen, the objects on the front panel are resized at the same fraction of the original size, yet small rounding errors occur. As you move the window around, this small rounding error multiplies accordingly. Once you maximize the window, the small rounding error is translated into a large-scale degree change in the orientation of the (previously) perpendicular arrows.
What action are you trying to perform that caused this issue? If possible,
please post some screen shots of your front panel or give me explicit details as to your programmatic goal.
One thing that you may try in order to prevent this misalignment and orientation shift is to highlight the arrows. Then, click the "Reorder" button on the toolbar and select [lock]. This will lock the objects and prevent them from resizing while the rest of the screen resizes (see attached image).
Again, I'm sorry if the aforementioned phenomenon causes you any inconveniences, and I will be sure to announce this issue so that preventive changes are implemented in future LabVIEW revisions.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Have a great day!
Kind Regards,

I down loaded your files but could use some instructions on what needs run.
It seems that you are so close yet so far. You need to get the data on the server machine over to the client. I generally do this by doing a call by reference (on the client machine) of a VI that is served by the server. THe VI that executes on the server should pass the data you want to diplay via one of its output terminals. You can simply wire from this terminal (back on the client again) to an indicator of your choosing.
Now theorectically, I do not think that there is anything that prevents use from getting the control refnum of the actual indicator (on the server) of the indicator that has the data, and read its "Value" using a property node. I have never tried this idea but it seems t
hat all of the parts are there. You will need to know the name of the VI that holds the data as well as the indicator's name. You will also have to serve all VI's. This is not a good idea.

How can I display a changing variable in a subvi on the front panel of the main vi as the subvi is excuting

In the document attached the vi on the right is sub to the vi on the left. On the subvi on the right the variable "Field Reading" is continuously updated on the front panel of the subvi as the "for" loop is executed, but only the last value of the variable is updated on the main vi front panel which is what is expected. My question is how can I display the changing value of "Field Reading" on the main vi front panel as the "for" loop in the subvi is running?
Thank you.

Hopefully I can explain it well enough. It really is simple.
1) Create an empty global variable and call it something like User Interface References.vi
2) For each and every control and indicator on your front panel, right-click and select Create/Reference
3) Place these references wherever you like (I use a series of Event cases to perform my initialisation and these all live in one of these event cases). They can be placed anywhere in the main vi.
4) For each of the references, right-click and select Create/Indicator
5) Moving to the front panel, Cut all the indicators and Paste them in the global variable (eg. User Interface References.vi)
6) Moving back to the block diagram, wire the global variable to each of the references and select the same named global variable.
All the hard work is now done (until you add another user interface terminal). You should now have something that look as shown below, [except the reference labels would be to the left (not sure why the snippet put them above)]. In my latest program I have 82 references!
Done. You can now access all your front panel controls and indicators anywhere in your program as shown below.
You can just select Value in most cases, but in this particular case I wanted to fire off an Event to do some things (log the alarm) as well as just update the value. So, this is another bonus with the method.
Hopefully this all makes sense. If not, let me know.

How can I display the name of my refnum on the front panel?

I am writing data to a file. To do this, I am using "Open/Create/Replace File" to prompt the user for a filename, which is then output to my VI as a refnum. I then write strings to this file with "Write to Text File".
How can I display this filename (with the path) on the front panel after the user has input it?

Use the Refnum to Path function, in File I/O -> Advanced File Functions palette. You can wire this to a path indicator.
