Setting cluster elements

I have created a cluster constant in order to wire it to a shift register. The shift register belongs to a loop containing a case structure where different cases should enter data into different elements of the cluster.
What I'm trying to do is described pretty much in this thread:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=270857&query.id=360067#M270857
I want to enter a value into a specific element of the cluster. Can I do this without undbundling and rebundling the entire cluster?

Tzench,
As usual joelabview is right on target and a lot faster that me. I've attached a simple vi that demonstrates how you could use the Bundle by Name function to accomplish this.

Change properties of a cluster element withing an array of clusters

Hello all,
I have an array of cluster that is shaped as a line with different display elements.
A list or a tree wouldn't have made it, so I had to use a cluster and make a table.
The problem is that I want to change not only the text but also the text color.
Individually.
I found this :
http://www.ni.com/example/30904/en/
But it change the property in all the clusters in the array, not just the one I need.
Some people have the same problem :

Obviously, while in a list/table or tree you can change the property of an individual
cell (font, color) you cannot do it within an array of cluster, by some sort of magic,
the property of a cluster element (font, color) are all linked together, hence rendering
the use of an array worthless.
A possible hack is proprosed by using control masking, setting one visible and the
other invisble, swapping their position, whatever. It's a hack you have to perform,
hence add another code to maintain.
Is that still the case or is there now a more official way to handle individual cluster
properties, not just its data ? After all that's a common real-life example that should
be handled by Labview. In my opinion.

Here's what I had in mind. Seems to work just fine (I would fine-tune the font, picture border, etc. but this should get you started).

Determine cluster element clicked in mouse down event

Is there anything similar to the ArrElem Property Node, that allows a user to detect which element in an array has been clicked on (mouse down event), but for a cluster?
It seems the only way I can detect which sub-cluster in my main cluster (see attachment) has been clicked on, is to work out the screen coordinates of each element and compare that to the mouse coordinates of the click - is there any other (better) way? There's is going to be eight of these main clusters all stacked vertically.
NOTE: All sub-clusters in the main cluster are disabled so that nothing "pops-up" when the user clicks on an object.
I was thinking of using an array of clusters, but I need the ability to set various properties (eg. blinking) for each individual object.

That's not bad Ben - thanks.
I made up a quick VI based on your solution which works great if I have one cluster, but if I have eight+ Main Clusters I have to repeat this Event eight+ times - no? I was wondering if there was a more scalable solution?
I suppose I could just lump ALL the sub-clusters into one massive Main Cluster, but the text string for that Event is going to be very, very long eg. "Main Cluster.Cluster1"....."Main Cluster.Cluster24": Mouse Down

Version sets in Elements 12

I have just upgraded from 8. I can load my Raw file ok (.NEF) into the raw converter and make adjustments as necessary. However, when I open the image and then save as, although the version sets option is ticked, it does not appear back in the organiser. The file is on the hard disk ok, but does not seem to be accessable from the orhganiser. I've seen some other people are having similar issues with version sets in elements 12 but I can't see what the soluton is.

Thanks for this advice. I killed ElementsAutoanalyzer.exe as described and this has partially solved the problem. Now when I open the image from the raw converter, and then immediately Save As, I get the options for save to organiser and include in version set ticked, the file is saved but doesn't appear in the organiser. If I then Save a second time (the option Save As is disabled), I get only the option to include it in the organiser (the include in version set option is disabled). This time, after checking ok to overwrite the existing file, it is included in the organiser next to the original file. Further editing of this file does save to a version set, so you end up with the original file and then a version set of all the edits. This is ok, although not ideal as it wastes space in the organiser.

Property node to cluster element

Hello All
When clicking at the control cluster element you can create a property node.
But if right click on property node you can NOT Link to the cluster element.
How it is possible, that you can do it only in "one direction"?
Pawel

Have you looked at creating a property node for the cluster and using the Controls[] property? Controls[] is an array of control references for the elements in the cluster. The array is ordered in the cluster order. If you're doing the same operations on each cluster element, you can put the operations in a loop autoindexed by Controls[]. If you're doing different things for each cluster element, you could create a state machine controlled by the Controls[] index. The property nodes for the indiviual elements will be disconnected from the controls, then the control reference indexed (or autoindexed) from Controls[] will be wired to the reference input of the property node.
You can get a disconnected property node from the Commun
ication >> ActiveX function palette, or your can create a property node for any control, then right-click on the property node and select Disconnect From Control. Don't worry about the label on the disconnected property node until you wire the control reference to it. It will automatically adjust based on what it's wired to.

Access Pulse setting cluster

works fine with "INT" trigger, but not with "EXT" trigger (sets the duty cycle value w.r.t. 33MHz always..try to modify to work w.r.t. ext freq input.)
2. Delay/Phase
Suppose to track each other...but can only do that with 'phase' value change...how can I do it either ways??

Hi Tieyi,
     You can access the Distributed Cache simply by calling CacheFactory.getDitributedCache(sName). Coherence starts all the necessary services and signs up to the Coherence cluster transaprently.
     The same holds in your example of nodes A, B and C participating in a Distributed Cache and wanting node D to have access to that same cache. Just call CacheFactory.getDistributedCache(sName) on node D and you will have access to that cache. Also, transparently to you, the data held in the cache will be 'load-balanced' given the fact that a new node has entered the cluster.
     Usually our customers will start or sign up to the Distributed Cache(s) during start up of the application server. This depends on your requirements.
     Hope this helps.

Broken cluster elements

Sometimes when I load my rather large Main VI it comes up "broken arrow" even after saving it after correcting the errors. I usually have to go 3 or 4 subvi's and relink broken cluster elements. The elements are there, and there may be a dozen broken wires to or from the cluster, but once I reselect the first element all the others relink and it's fine. Its always the same clusters in the same vi's. If I save it and reload, sometimes it comes back OK but sometimes it comes back broken and I have to relink the cluster elements. This is very strange. Has anyone else seen this?

"I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane." -- George Orwell

I don't have any good reasons why your cluster elements would become broken, but I do have a suggestion. The rule that I follow is that if I am going to be using a cluster in more than two places I will go ahead and create a type def. for it. This would make it easier for you to add to the cluster in one place and have it update everywhere, and it should help with these linking errors. If your cluster is a constant, a quick trick is to change it to a control, create a type def. for it. Once you have replace the cluster control with the type def., change it back to a constant.
Hope this helps!

Extract cluster element names and values automatically

Dear Labview forum,
I would like to extract cluster element names and values automatically
without prior knowledge of the cluster element size or contents.
I am able to extract the names but have some trouble with the values. (see attached VI)
I wish to write each the cluster element name and value in a string, and then write the string to a new line in a file.
Regards,

This can become arbitrarily complex, because a cluster can contain many types of data, even other clusters, arrays, typedefs, etc. So getting a "value" of an element is not as easy as you might think. There is a reason you get a variant.
If all cluster elements are simple numerics you can use "variant to data" with the correct type. The attached shows a few possibilities. Modify as needed.

Dynamically instantiate cluster elements

Hi,
Is it possible to instantiate new elements in a cluster while the vi is running? I would like to have my vi search a directory and for each file in the directory create an element in the cluster. However, I do not know ahead of time how many files there will be. In addition, the type of cluster element that gets created depends on the file. For instance in the case of one type of file I would like a multicolumn listbox to be created while with a different type of file I would like an array to be created. Is it possible to do this dynamically? Thanks in advance,
Jason

Thanks for the quick response, but I'm not sure how this does what I want. I would like the cluster and the front panel display of the cluster to be programatically updated based on the number and types of files found in my directory. Thanks,
Jason

Set xml element for table

my code is shown in below, my problem is can't set xml element for table
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"

                set rootele to XML element 1
            end if
            tell story 1
                select text 1
                set markup tag of selection to "table" -----------------> this is my problem please help me.
                          end tell
        end tell
    end tell
this code is right or not. please help me.

The metadata about the table mappings are also stored in the compiled XML Schema document. If you lookup the schema document located at /sys/schemas/.... , you will see that the element with SQLInline=false will have a xdb:defaultTable attribute which provides the name of the table used to store the element.

Cluster elements limit

Hi!
I have problem with big cluster. Big meas that it has 1000 or maybe even more elements, such as numeric, string, boolean, ..., that are in subclusters. Memory that it allocate is less than 5MB. Problems starts when I try to do anythih with it (move, resize, copy, save VI), CPU usage jumps to 100% and it takes some time to drop down again. Next, if this cluster is a constant and try to change it to control, it is not visible on front panel. All I can see is label of that cluster. I need that big cluster because it contains setting of an vision algorithem.So I wonder if there is a limied number of elements in cluster or some other restrictiuons regarding usage of clusters
Thanks,
andrej

Hey,
I build a cluster which is a combination of 8 clusters with each 256 elements. When creating an indicater of that cluster i cannot see it in a proper way too. What I think is the limitation of the frontpanelsize which makes the cluster appear in that way.
I would suggest you should splite your cluster in several sub-clusters and just use the bundle/unbundle function to handle it in the blockdiagram.
