Time display on x-axis for front panel instead of data points

What do I need to change or add in my block diagram so that on the waveform graph the time will be on the x-axis instead of the data points. I am running this VI on a pda for some testing and I would rather get the time on the horizontal axis. Im also using an NI USB-6008, windows xp and Labview 8.2
                                                                                                                                              Thanks

And since you are sending it an array of doubles rather than an array of waveforms, there is no timin information associated with it.  It will assume 1 sample per second.  If your acquisition is faster than that, you will need to set the dT of the graph or the scaling multiplier factor of the X scale of that graph.
(PS, it is always a good programming practice to show the labels for all the terminals on your block diagram and assign the terminal a name.)

  • Why use a wait timer when you can "wait for front panel activity"?

    Why does everyone:
    1) Wire a stop button to the while loop conditional terminal and add a wait for 100 ms (or so) timer to the loop.
    When they could:
    2) Wire the stop button to the while loop conditional terminal AND to "Wait for front panel activity" VI as described in the VI's help file?
    Thanks!
    Adam

    That's just a matter of habit. In previous LV versions, the wait for front panel activity was not available.
    And of course, now you can use the Event structure, that offers better possibilities...Message Edité par chilly charly le 06-25-2006 04:11 AM

  • How can I simultaneously acquire and display an image on the front panel using a PCI-1424

    Dear friends;
    I want to use PCI-1424  , and labview 5.1 to capture the image,  But I can not find some functions in labview to capture, display and save the image.Can you be kind to share some examples or provide some information.
    Another question is how I CAN display the image in the front panel.
    thanks so much

    Hello yangshang,
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments!  To acquire images from the 1424 you will need NI IMAQ 2.5.1 or later.  This can be found HERE on our drivers download page.  One thing to note is that in LabVIEW 5 we only had the ability to view an IMAQ image as a pop up window.  This VI is called "IMAQ Windraw".  This will pop up a separate window that will display your picture.  If you need to view the picture on the front panel you can try saving the image as a file (BMP, JPG, etc) then use the LabVIEW Graphics and Sound VI's to Read a picture file in and then wire the picture to a picture control on the front panel.  Let me know if you have anymore questions.  Good Luck.

  • How do I programmatically display jpeg files on the front panel

    Hi,
    I would like to be able to programmatically display various jpeg images on the front panel of a VI. I would mostly like to be able to display one image at a time and have the ability to programmatically change the image to different ones under program control. I found a picture indicator but not sure how to use if or if this is the best way. Thanks for any help.
    Dave Adams

    Yes, you can use a picture indicator.
    The attached simple codelet shows how to display a jpeg image on it (Make sure the image indicator is big enough).
    Let us know if you need help with the rest of the coding.

  • Displaying mutiple pictures onto a front panel

    Hi ,
    Basically what iam trying to do is have mutiple  images on the front panel.
    The problem that iam having is that when i load an image onto the front panel it overwrites the other image. What i mean by that is , that instead of having two images on the front , each time i run the code it loads the same image twice onto the front panel.I tryed using a imaq dispose etc but it didnt work. Iam attaching a file that is similiar to the one that iam working on.
    (incase i didnt explain it very well on my front panel when i run the vi i what to be able to load up two different images onto the front panel like below but try to load a second image it also replaces image 1.)
    image 1
    image 2
    What actually happening
    image 1
    Image2
    Thanks for help. Iam badly stuck.

    Hi jihn,
    you connect on both "IMAQ create" vi´s the same name. I think if you change one name it should work.

  • How can I simultaneously acquire and display an image on the front panel using a PCI-1408

    I have to acquire and display an image directely in the front panel of a *.vi using a PCI-1408. i have to know all informmations about this image because I want to create a calibration system.

    Hi Paola,
    if you own IMAQ Vision you can just have a look at the examples that comes with your board or you can look at: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/explprog.nsf/6c163603265406328625682a006ed37d/2abaefe05789961686256866007c0d22?OpenDocument.
    Without IMAQ Vision look at:
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/explprog.nsf/6c163603265406328625682a006ed37d/22474456534202b086256aff005fc4f3
    (or search at ni.com for "IMAQ Display without IMAQ Vison)
    Please mail me if you need further help,

  • How to display PSA screen capture on Front Panel

    Do you actually need to save the front panel image?  Or do you want to save a graph of the signal (spectrum) that you acquired?  If the latter will do the trick, you can simply read the waveform over GPIB (or whichever means you control the analyzer) into an array that is plotted to a waveform graph in LabVIEW.  You then save the image of the waveform graph as an image.
    Since you have all the data, you can even save the data which can be viewed later (and not only by LabVIEW).

  • Is it possible to display streaming video on a front panel?

    I've created a motion-control software interface for a laser-processing station.  It would be helpful if, when calibrating the origin of the stages, streaming video could be shown on the front panel from a camera on the setup.  Can LabVIEW support this?

    what is the format of the streaming video, you can use an activeX control like media player to do this most likely.

  • Firewire for front panel

    I got a new MSI NEO-FIS2R mobo today.  I know there are no pins to get the front panel Firewire to work on my Antec P160 case.  Are there any cards I can add into the system that can get the front panel firewire port to work??

    onebyte ,
    Given the variety of different pin outs used by both case & mobo manufacturers I prefer the single pin solution to ensure usb & 1394 setup is correct. Having spent some time over xmas moving to a new case with these connectors I have some sympathy with what you say. I actually used cellotape to bind the pins into pairs which made inserion easier.
    But yes a small plastic frame through which the pins could be placed and held together, then inserted to the Mobo header would be useful.

  • P965 Bios setting for front panel audio ???

    Yes sounds crazy, I hope someone can bring me up to speed here or maybe offer a suggestion.
    The story is I just finished building a P965 Conroe for a friend, he's picked it up and it's disappeared some 300 odd km to the North of me.
    Rings me up and he can't get the mic working on the front mic out - the headies work, but no mic, the case is a Chenbro Xpider Gamebomb and the front panel is Intel I/O standard with a keyed connector that plugs into the mobo that you just can't get wrong.
    So to cut a long story short, the mic works on the rear mic port but not on the front, and the speakers/headies work on both the front and rear.
    I've asked him to take the front off the case and unscrew the port mounting bracket and just make sure all the wires are on properly at the back of it, but I just thought I'd asked the question here and see if anyone has any other suggestions for when he rings me and says all the hard wiring appears fine   

    Hmm thanks Maesus, would make some sense, but I've combed P965 pdf again and I can't find any reference to a jumper setting for the mic
    OK - I found it, software setting in Realtek HD 

  • Help with USB for front Panel on case!!

    Ive got the K7N2G mobo and Im trying to connect to JBT1 for Front USB.. it mentions bluetooth connection but it also talks about it being for USB.. Pleas help.. am i missing a bios setting?  How else can i get the front sub ports to work on my case?

    You got mixed up, JBT1 shares a USB connection with a USB header. If you use JBT1 for bluetooth you must give up one of the USB ports but you can't use JBT1 for USB.
    And I moved you over to the nvidia/sis section since you posted in the VIA section.

  • Front panel graph with selectable points

    I don't if this can be done, but I was wondering if I can have a graph in the front panel that would graph only the points I select. This is the situation: I'm taking measurements in the program and I want to make a graph with them. The thing is that a don't want a graph with lots of points, I just want to select a point and graph it. When I want to, I select to take a point and graph it, then I'll change the independent variable and then select again one point and graph it, showing a curve of what I have, and so on. I know that for this maybe I'll need to store those single points with an array or something. If anyone can help me, please do so. Thank you.

    The data you acquire is received in array form and based on the sample size, you should be able to determine the number of points in the array.  Then simply decide which points you want and put them into a second array and plot that array.

  • Is there a way to start a VI using a boolean control in my front panel instead of clicking the White Right Arrow button?

    i'm trying to determine if there's a way to run a VI from the front panel without clicking the
    White Right Arrow button.
    All suggestions are welcome!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes.
    You set your VI to run when opened.  Then you put a Start button in a while loop with a small wait statement ahead of the real part of your code.  (You'll need a data dependency between that and you main code, either a wire or a flat sequence structure.)  That start button stops the while loop and allows the rest of the code to execute.
    Better solutions would call for an event structure and possibly a state machine architecture.

  • How to display conditional things on the front panel ??

    Hello,
    What I am trying to do is this: The user will select some information from a combo box, and depending upon twhat he has selected I want to display different things based on his selection.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Bira_pxi

    You can programmatically change the visibility of any object using property nodes with the "visible?" property.
    If the groups of elements are similarly arranged, use a tab indicator (place tab control...change to indicator) and place each group of FP elements on it's own tab. Now hide the tabs and select the active tab programmatically by writing the desired state to the tab indicator.
    Another option is the use of subpanels.
