Using Color Box controls in Touch Panel Module

Hello,
I am attempting to change the background color of my touchscreen panel (tpc-2006) when a certain value increases past 5.  I have successfullly done this using color box controls, but Labview will not allow me to deploy it to the touch panel. I am guessing color box controls simply do not work with the touch panel module.  Am I wrong about this, or is there another way to change the color of the screen?
Attached are the VI and the lvproj files.  The color changing works fine if the VI is open only.  Errors result if the lvproj file is used, because it specifies that the VI gets deployed to a touch panel.
I am using Labview 8.5, with the Touch Panel Module 8.5, on Win XP.
Thanks!

Thank you, tst.
I tried your solution using the select control and writing directly to the color box.  This works great on my desktop, and it even deploys to the TPC.
However, it does not work at all on the touch-panel.  The screen remains black and does not change.
Any other ideas?

  • Parallel use remote control and touch panel.

    Hi.
    Cisco TelePresence SX20 with firmware TC7.1.4.908e4a9 and was synchronized with touch panel. Can I use remote control when touch panel is enabled. Now remote control is locked.
    Thank's.    

    Hi
    No. When a codec is paired with a Touch controller it is not possible to use the remote control.

  • Set column width of a multicolumn listbox in LV touch panel module

    Hello,
    I am trying to build an application using LV Touch panel module 8.6 and I am having a problem with multicolumn listboxes. I am setting the the width of the columns by clicking and dragging the separator between the headers, but when I transfer and run my application to a winCE controller the width of the columns is the same for all columns (and very narrow actually).
    Does anyone know something about it?
    I also noticed the following two problems. When I transfer my application in the winCE controller, the line and column separators are disappeared and the column headers are also disappeared, although I have set them to be visible in my vi.
    Thanks in advance.

    The issues that you are having are because the LV touch
    panel Module does not support "Moveable column separators" and
    "Row and column headers". The limitations of using a touch panel are available
    in the LabVIEW help file.
    A possible workaround may be to use a series of arrays with a string data
    type then using a single scrollbar control multiple property nodes.
    I have attached an example.
    I hope this has helped.

  • Touch panel module

    I have a host application (.exe) running on a desktop that interfaces with my cRIO via Network Variables.  I want to move this host application to a touch panel, either one of NI's panels or a third party.  Why would I need to purchase the Touch Panel Module to support my host application on a touch panel running XPe?  Can't I build a distributable executable to deploy to the touch panel?

    Hey,
    I don't completely agree with royalcow. Please have a look at the article Running LabVIEW on Windows XP Embedded.
    The article says:
    NOTE: Using LabVIEW with Windows XP Embedded is unsupported. The exceptions are, Windows XP Embedded is supported for use with the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module.
    royalcow is right that when using a NI Touchpanel you will need the LabVIEW TouchPanel Modul to have the appropriate target in your lvproj.
    Because of that I was asking what kind of Touchpanel you are using.
    LabVIEW is not supported for Windows XP Embedded, this is a fact.
    Thanks,

  • Dot net dll and touch panel module

    Hi all,
    Is there any possibility to use a dot net dll with the touch panel module on LabView 2011?
    Thanks in advance...

    This appears to be related to this:http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/call-dll-function-on-Windows-CE6-0-Device/m-p/2092170
    Since you already know that the device would be running Windows CE or Windows Embedded Standard, the question is really can Windws CE or Windows Embedded Standard use .NET? Not sure why you are asking this on a National Instruments forum, since it's a Windows question. I do know that .NET compact is available. Have no idea how well it works.

  • Touch Panel Module or LabVIEW SDK

    Hello,
    We can use Touch panel module to target Windows CE Boards and LabVIEW SDK to target any 32bit Processor boards (includes Linux Boards).  Which one is better for embedded development? 
    SDK is very expensive and probably hard to program than a Windows CE board.  Can anyone please let me know the best approach?  Please let me know if Linux is better or Windows CE.  I am looking to program any off the shelf I/O board which supports Windows CE or Linux, but want to get some guidance regarding the approach towards the LabVIEW software module and the Embedded OS approach before spending time.
    Thanks.

    While the Touch Panel Module can technically connect to most Windows CE devices, it is actually made specifically for our NI Touch Panel devices.  Because of this, it is not supported for other devices and you may have unexpected behavior.  Your better bet (if possible) is to use Windows Mobile 6 on your device and then use the LabVIEW Mobile Module.  Also, I'm not sure how flexible your embedded solution is, but you also have the option to use the LabVIEW Embedded Module for ARM controllers.

    labview Touch Panel Module can support Samsung S3C2440 cpu in wince  ？

    Hi Mohammed,
    Windows CE 6.0 is not officially supported by the Touch Panel Module (see this link for more info and what is supported). Other members on our forums (link) have tried working with CE 6.0 but since it isn't officially supported and you're still in the planning stage of your application, it might be better to choose a HMI that is directly supported.

    Windows CE on the TPC 2012 places the menu on the top but the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module 8.2.1 places it at the bottom. I would expect that LabVIEW handles that the same way than the operating system?

  • LabVIEW Touch Panel Module for Linux

    Hi,
    Does NI released Touch Panel Module for Linux?
    Thanks,

    Hi Dennis,
    Here is the article I read about LabVIEW Embedded Development Module. Page 1-1, "Taking Your Graphical Design to Any 32-Bit Microprocessor".
    http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371233b.pdf
    About the topic you are right. I have the VI on Windows XP. I converted it to WinCE 5.0 with LabVIEW Touch Panel Module and it works perfectly. I have LabVIEW for Linux and I converted the VI to Linux and it works on PC. Now, I want to convert it to Embedded Linux that works on ARM microcontroller.
    I am looking for LabVIEW Touch Panel Module for Linux because the only supported platform for that is Windows.

  • Difference between LV PDA module and touch-panel module

    What is the difference between LabView's PDA module and touch-panel module? I want to recompile my application developed on a Win XP environment for a touch-screen single board computer running Win CE. From what I have read, it seems like both PDA module and the touch-panel module would be able to do the task - but what is the difference between the two modules?

    sstolteq:
    The LabVIEW PDA Module allows you to create applications that run on Microsoft Windows Mobile for Pocket PC devices. It is also compatible with several NI data acquisitions devices, including the USB-6008, USB-6009, CF-6004,
    DAQCard-6062E, DAQCard-6024E, and the DAQCard-6036E.
    The LabVIEW Touch Panel Module, on the other side, allows you to create human-machine interface (HMI) applications to
    communicate with NI embedded real-time platforms such as Compact
    FieldPoint, CompactRIO, and Compact Vision System. It is optimized for developing
    HMIs to Windows CE touch panel devices such as the NI TPC-2006.
    I hope this helps and please let me know if I can help further.

  • How to use input box LOV in query panel (search region)

    Hi,
    We are having JDeveloper version 11.1.2.4.0
    In one of the JSF page, we are showing some data (absences).
    Requirement is to add search region at the top so that user can filter the data, based on search parameters like Business Group, Job etc.
    The search parameters are inter-dependent e.g. Job is dependent on Business Group. So when user selects some particular Business Group, Job search field should show jobs for that Business Group only.
    This works fine we use Choice List for both Business Group and Job.
    However since there are huge number of jobs, Job choice list makes page rendering very slow.
    So we tried to use Input box with LOV for Job.
    But now when job is selected in the LOV popup and returned to main page, job search field shows job id instead of job name.
    Please note that our base VO (AbsencesVO) contains JobId attribute. We have added List of Values on JobId, which fetches Job Name through JobVO1 view accessor.
    How to make Job LOV field show selected Job Name instead of ID? Kindly advise.
    Thanks,
    Vivek

    Thanks Timo/Bangaram, for prompt replies
    Timo, the link mentioned by you talks about showing IDs (DepartmentId, ManagerId etc.) in the search region. I need to show names in the form of Input box LOV.
    Bangaram, as per your suggestion I tried using transient JobName attribute. However now when I select any value in the Job LOV popup and return to main page, it shows first Job Name in the Job Name search field.
    Also when I click 'Search' button in Search panel, it shows error - Attempt to set a parameter name that does not occur in the SQL: BindJobName
    Please note that I have added both JobName and JobId in the List configuration as you suggested.
    In View criteria, I have removed previous item (condition) on JobId and added condition on JobName.(This is required because JobId condition shows JobId search field)
    I also tried making JobName dependent on JobId..still same behaviour.
    Kindly advise.
    Thanks,
    Vivek

  • Using a Meter control in LV Touch Panel, and using shared variables that are custom controls.

    I Just started using LV touch Panel module with an NI TPC-2106.
    I have two differenct problems:
    1) I was planning on using the "Meter" control quite a bit. I can set up the meter exactly how I like on the host PC, but on the touch Panel computer it seems to ignore my adjustments, mainly the start and end of the scale - i.e. I would like control to run from 0 to 360 with 0 straight up, using the entire circle. However, on the Touch panel computer it always puts 0 at about 7 o'clock and 360 at about 5 o'clock. I have also tried adding markers to no avail.
    2) I am communicating with a compact fieldpoint controller. I can creat a shared variable that is a simple double with no problems. However, I have some shared variables that use a custom control for the variable type - bascially a cluster with a couble doubles, a time stamp, and an enumeration. It lets me drag the shared variable into my diagram, but it seems to ignore it when I run it.

    Ipshita_C,
    - I am using LV 8.6.1f1and LV Touch Panel 8.6.1.
    - I have attached a simplified VI that shows how I want to use the meter. Notice that the placement of the endpoitns does not work correctly on the touch panel, and that it ignores the arbitrary markers that I placed.
    - I also have included an XY graph control that displays on the TPC with margins around the graph area that I removed from the graph control.
    - For the shared variable, it appears to be an issue related to the touch panel, not fieldpoint. I found another thread in this forum that mentioned that clusters containing Enumerations do not work in shared variables on the touch panel. I changed the enumeration to an integer and it now works fine.
    In general, there seem to be a disappointing number of limitations in the touch panel implementation. My biggest concern is that I have not found any documentation from NI that lists these limitations. I seem to have to try things out and see what works and what does not work. Can you point me to a comprehensive list of touch panel modules limitations?
