Tab Control and Property node

Hi everyone,
i'm trying to create a vi that is able to run more than one test simultaneously but so far i only succeed in using the tab control to control case structure.
What should i do to change the vi to suit my objective?
thanks for any insight.
Currently using labview 8, winsXP.

The tab control is just something that tells which page is visible.  It has nothing to do with the execution of code.  To have multiple things happening at the same time, you will need several while loops happening in parallel with each test in its own while loop.  Right now your code (and maybe its on a section of screen you didn't copy to the .jpg) does not show any looping whatsoever.

  • How to hide a tab in a Tab Control by Property Node?

    Hi,
    I have a Tab Control in my Front Panel. So, using a array of LEDs, I would like to hide some tabs, probably using Property Node functions, but I can't find what option do it. Is it possible?

    Thanks Macro!  I came to the forum to find a solution for this exact problem, it's nice to find it already laid out for me so clearly.

  • Customize a control and property nodes

    I don't know if and how it is possible. Is it possible to customize a control, but having access to property nodes too? 
    I explain better: if I create a control and I customize it, the customized control is a file.ctl, which has only front panel, but not block diagram. So that I cannot customize it using property nodes. Is there a way to bypass it?

    You don't need to create a .ctl file to customize a control.  It is just there so you can save a control you have customized to a file.
    Yes you can customize a control using property nodes.  You just use property nodes that are implicitly linked to a specific control, or you explicitly link to a control by passing a reference to the control to the property node.
    If you want to programmatically save a customized control to a .ctl, or open a .ctl file and customize it further, I think you'll have to look into LabVIEW scripting.  But I wouldn't do anything like that if I were you until you get thoroughly comfortable with using regular property nodes, which I don't think you are otherwise you wouldn't have asked this question.

    To make things clear, here are two small examples that show how nasty locals and value properties can be to the naive programmer.
    - Open the diagram of the race condition.vi before running it and try to predict what will be the values of the two counters after the third run.
    - Use the Compare Locals Properties and Wires.vi to find out how slow locals and value properties can be (times 1000+).
    This being demonstrated, I must add that I use globals and value properties quite often, because they are often very convenient

  • "Tab" control and Tab order of controls inside the tab

    Hello everybody,
    I have created the tab control with 6 'tabs', inside every tab I have some controls, like edit fields etc. I wanted to make an order of controls for every tab, so I have selected the option "Tab-order settings" from menu "Edit" (sorry for translation, I use non-English version of LabView), and tried to set the order. After saving it with "OK" button it turned out that the order is not changed. Simple it seems that the option doesn't work for controls in tabs. Is this a bug or do you have a solution for this?
    TIA,
    Yazilim.

    Sorry LabviewGuru, but I haven't found anything concerning Tab control and tab order inside it. Of course, I have found the topic "tabbing through front panel objects", but it simply describes how to change order for standard controls, not for controls which are inside the Tab control. But maybe you have another, extended help? So can you please copy and paste to discussion forum message this part of your help which concerns the Tab control and tab order, and then send the message?
    TIA,
    Yazilim.

  • Tab control and content

    on my main page i have a five tab control, and each tab has its own content. below the tab control and external to it is another region containing a dynamic page portlet. this region faithfully shows its contents when 4 of the 5 tabs are displayed. when the 5th tab is displayed, it is empty. i've cleared the cache numerous time with no effect.
    if anybody has any ideas please pass them on.
    thanks,

  • Tab control and Multiline mode property

    We are using tab control with multiline mode property true. We have around 20 tab pages and because of multiline mode property items are displayed in three rows. Annoying thing is whenever we do selection of a tab in first row tab items get rearranged
    and my selected tab will come to last row. Is any one facing the same issue. Please suggest me.

    The selected Tab has no bottom border (assuming top alignment) and so the selected tab should always merge with the tabpage. This is why the row with the selected tab always moves to the tabpage border. If you don't want this behaviour then set the tabcontrols
    appearance to Button and the rows will not change when a tab is selected.

  • Tab Page visible property node not working correctly

    I am making a vi in which we have a tab control with 6 pages and to move from one page to another there is ring control with option for every page on page 1( page 1 is the default page), at a time only one page is visible so we can move only through that ring control present on page 1 and to come back to page 1 from all other pages there is button "go back" on all other 5 pages, everything is working fine for 5 pages but when after going on page 6 and then if i press go back button instead of going back to page 1 program hangs and one more thing that i noticed is after stopping the program the page 6 becomes the default page( which otherwise is page1) i dont know why this is happening.
    I am attaching the snippet of the code which executes when i press go back button.
    one more thing that i am not getting here is when i checked the program through step execution, the last property node( page6 ) that is executing first after that it goes to first property node and then it goes in sequence, this also i want to how is this happening.
    Solved!

    I think you would be better off just to use your array and turn on/off the necessary tabs instead of explicity setting each property every iteration.
    Attached is one example.

  • Tab control top property

    Hi
    I am trying to create a program that spans on the entire screen i've set the pane size to the same size of the screen and set the origin to 0,0
    My problem is that the tab control which almost spans on the entire screen is out of the borders and can't all be seen.
    When i try to set the top property on the tab control property node it moves all the controls inside the tab control down every time I run the program so after 5 runs al my controls have moved out of the screen too.
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Thanks

    "Tabview"   I like that.
    Yikes, why are your fonts at at 7pt??
    Anyways, I am not seeing the problem that you are talking about. I can run it continuously and the controls don't change location over and over. They all go to the locations calculated and those locations don't change from run to run.

  • How to show/hide sliders on a slider control using property nodes?

    If I have a slider with multiple sliders on it how do I change which sliders are visible using property nodes? The only property I have found is making the entire control to be visible or not.  This is a possible solution to have two different controls, one slider with only one slider and another slider with two sliders overlapped, but not desirable.
    I found on a thread in the forum that it is possible but the user did not provide any specifics about which property it was. (http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=181279&query.id=34404#M181279)
    I would appreciate an example VI if possible (Preferred version is 8.5 but versios 8.2, 8.0, and 8.6 are available to me).
    Thank you in advance for the help,

  • Coercion dots, Typedef. and Property Nodes

    Hi,
    following problem:
    1. I place a simple Control (Button 1) and connect it to an Indicator (Indicator 1) -> OK
    2. I place a Button as Typedef. (Button 2) and connect it to an Indicator (Indicator 2) -> Coercion dot on Indicator 2 (I don't see the point of a boolean coercion, but OK)
    3. I create a property node for Indicator 1 (Value) and try to connect a constant (right-click>Create>Constant -> the constant is grayed out and the error message is 'type definition not found or contains error'
    Details: The master copy for this type definition could not be found or the master copy has errors. You must find and fix the master copy, or right-click this type definition and select Disconnect.
    4. I remove Button 2 and repeat step 3 -> the same thing happens
    If I connect an existing boolean constant to the property node there is a coercion dot. As a matter of fact for using one Typedef. Control in a VI all other control property nodes suddenly have coercion dots even if I remove the Typedef. control. Does it mean either all controls and indicators better are typedef. or none at all?
    Thanks in advance.
    P.S.: the problem occurred originally in a VI with much more than two buttons...

  • Graph and property node

    Hello all;
    I want to make my .vi more powerful, so what I wanted to do is next:
    1. my input must be: "boolean system check box" in 1D array(this is must have, I need this as input into call library function node)
    2. all those checkbox(12) are connected to graph(in this example I choose 12 graphs and one input signal which is same, in real I have different signals, scales...)
    What I wanted to do is when I check first check box, first graph  will be appears(and on graph will be shown his name, which is same as at check box). And then for example if I choose 3,5,8 check box will be appears 3,5,8 graph which will follow one after the other and so one;
    I started to make 1D array check box, but after I group all together and try to rename for example check box 1 to channel 1, it's changing all names not just those which I renamed. I know that I can use "property node" and choose "visible" and "value", but I don't know how to implement together and also moving graphs one after other if I choose for example 1,5,8 channel.
    I attach testing file and picture;
    thanks

    Ok, I figure out, how to implement cluster->array; also add "visible" property; but I still don't know how to create "auto position", if I'd like just show for example 1,3,5 graph(all 3 must be inside TAB, also there can't be any free space from graph 2,4 in this case...). Please look my files (v.8.5, i can save to any other version up to 2011);

  • Possible bug with Tab Control and Context Help?

    I created Description and Tip text for each Tab of a tab control I am using on my front panel.  I have a subVI that is called by selecting a menu item from my main front panel.  The subVI's front panel also has a menu system and a Tab Control.  I have Description and Tip text written for each of the tabs on the subVI's front panel.
    When I enable context help from the menu of my main VI, the proper help text shows up for the tabs on the main vi and, when I bring up the subVI's front panel, for its tabs as well.
    So far so good...
    Now I builld the application and run it as an executable.  For ALL of my panel tab descriptions, I get the tab's label in bold text, but no description (just a blank area).
    Is this a bug in LabVIEW?

    I see it still even in 8.5.  
    The Help part of the bug is still NOT fixeed by NI.
    But I dont get the tool tip appearing in the corner of the monitor, it is showing up as usual.

    Hi,
    Aaa.. the blue box is an Enumeration Constant. Because I've used something like this you cannot change the name of the Tabs. To fix it:
    Simply replace these two Constants with Numerical Integer Constants 0 - for the first Tab and 1 - for the Second Tab. It took me a while to understand what you wanted to say . This way you can change the name without getting an error.
    I've rewritten the entire VI in order to be clean (I was ashamed of the previous one). You can still use the first one.
    Just an advice: Even if it looks at the beginning more complicated try to use Event Structure all the time when you have buttons. The use of loops with buttons and if structure (like in your vi) creates a lot of problems and it's hard to debug.
