Working with "property nodes" in pda module

Hi,
i already know that it is not possible to work with property node in pda module.
I have found something that allows to replace the visible property node
(LabVIEW_PDA_Module_Property_Additions), but i need other property
nodes.
I need the following property nodes:
disabled
caption.text
numrows (for a table control)
numcols (for a table control)
colhdrs[] (for a table control)
Can anyone give me a help with this?
Thanks,
Pedro

I think the only one you can do something about is the caption, which you can try to replace with a string indicator.

  • VI Snippet Bug (IMAQ Image Vision Display with Property Node)

    Colleagues,
    Just found small bug in LabVIEW - Creating snippet from selection with Vision Display together with Property node is not working (means that nothing happened - no save dialog appear):
    VI in attachment (VAS or VDM software required). Can someone reproduce this?

    Hi Andrey
    Thank you for your post, I will clarify if this is fixed in the LabVIEW SP1.
    If it is not, I am going to write a CAR for that.

  • Generic Java class for working with Context Nodes

    Hi,all
    I would like to write generic Java class for working with Context Nodes:
    populating node,
    add element to node,
    update node element,
    remove node element
    Any ideas how can I do it?

    Hi,Armin
    Thanks for your answer.
    I have many nodes with the same structure,but different data.
    I don't want to work with each one of them individually.
    This is the main reason.
    Regards,
    Michael
    Any ideas?

  • Performance penalty with property nodes?

    In a specific application I have a front panel with three combo boxes and another three string indicators. Based on the selections made in the combo boxes, various messages will have to be displayed in the string displays. This naturally calls for multiple instances in the same VI where the combo boxes will have to be read and string display updates.
    One choice would have been local variables ( of combo boxes & string indicators ) for passing the values around. But since this is going to make several copies and hit performance, I decided to use property nodes. And it works fine.
    The question is, whether excessive use of property nodes has any adverse effect on performance ?

    Thanks! I would suggest to just do the experiment.
    The attached little demo (LabVIEW 7.1) does the same thing (increment a I32 variable in a loop) in three different ways:
    -- shift register
    -- local variable
    -- value properties
    On my slow laptop, 10000 iterations take the following total time in ms.
    shift registers: 3ms
    Local variables: 5ms
    Value Properties: 1891ms (!!)
    Notice that the shift register solution would be much faster (more than 10x (or 1000000 in 20ms)) if the indicator is placed outside the loop, the only thing slowing it down is the update of the indicator.
    In conclusion value properties are much more expensive than local variables or shift registers. If you just write once e.g. at the beginning of the program, it does not really matter, but once you do things repetitively in a loop, the costs add up. I always prefer wires because they also make the diagram easy to follow. Local variables break the dataflow and can cause race conditions. They have their limited use, especially in user interface related code. They have no business in pure computations.

  • Broblem with property node and DAQ-card

    Hi!
    I am using NI DAQ-card to control mini relays and I have a following broblem. I use a "binary" button to control the DAQ-assistant and so on the relays. I have made property node of the "binary" button and set it to value mode(write). When I change the value of property node, the "binary" button in user interface works properly, but the the relay doesn't change the state.

    The boolean array constant that you are writing to the property node is empty. That is it has been defined as a boolean array, but it has no elements.
    The array constant on the left is an empty boolean array. Notice that all teh boolean constants are grayed out. This indicates that none of the constants are 'active'. The array on the right contains 8 active elements. Note that the 8 elemants are more solid in color adn the the 9th element is grayed out.
    What you need to do is define your boolean array with the proper constants to turn on or off the proper digital lines.

    Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

  • Working with multiple files in Library module

    Hello,
    I am trying to work with a subset of files in the Library module. Doing things like delete, rotate, flag etc. I select the files by Ctrl-Click (WXP) and then try to do the function--sometimes it works, other times it may delete or roate the wrong file. How can I get this to work everytime?
    TIA,
    Tanya

    Tanya,
    This may not help, but the times when that happens to me is when I go too fast and some operations haven't finished. I then try to select a file that hasn't completed and the file I select is in the process of having the data updated. The worst is when it is trying to render as I am doing something.
    I hope this helps some.

  • Error with property nodes and svx_DAQmx Popup for DSA.vi

    Some example vi of the sound and vibration toolset 3.1 use property nodes with an undefined class (e.g. svx_DAQmx Popup for DSA.vi). I use Labview 7.1 and NI-DAQmx. Could it be that the vi uses classes from traditional NI-DAQ?

    The error occurs in:
    C:\Programme\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\examples\Sound and Vibration\Utility\Daq\DAQmx\svx_Get DAQmx Info.vi
    C:\Programme\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\examples\Sound and Vibration\Utility\Daq\DAQmx\svx_DAQmx Popup for DSA.vi
    see also attached screen shot.
    It is a new installation on a PXI-system, WinXP, LabView 7.1, SVT 3.1, NI-DAQ 7.4 (only DAQmx driver installed). The examples had not been tested before.

  • Class conflict when programmatically editing graphs with property node

    I am trying to programmatically move the cursors on a graph. I want the cursor to look the same on 2 different graphs so I made a subVI. The code works correctly when I have seperate property nodes, but when I try to use the subVI, I get a class conflict -
    "You have connected a refnum of one type to a refnum of another type and both types are members of some class hierarchy, but there is neither a simple up cast nor type cast between the two classes."
    I am not sure how to fix this. The graph that works is of a waveform, and the graph that doesn't is the output of the FFT Power Spectrum VI. Is the problem that the inputs are different? Or is there some kind of resource conflict when using property nodes in subVIs?

    A shot in the dark here.  But maybe if you make the subVI's input reference of type GraphChart it would work.

  • Help with property node

    I have a graph chart with 3 plots. I can make any of the plots visible or not using property node as shown in the attached file.
    Is there a any way I can scale the block diagram and use less case structure . for instance is it possible to use just one case structure to set the plot visible property of the three plots.
    Thank you.

    PropertyNodeChartAssign.vi ‏29 KB

    (You are using way too much code for these cases! Your true and false cases only differ by the boolean, which you already have from the control. In a first cleanup, you can delete the case structure and wire the button directly to the "visible" property. Same functionality! Right?)
    Still, that's not the way to go!
    Property nodes are expensive! You only need to write these properties if one of the selector changes, and not with every iteration of the loop! You should handle these thing in a seperate loop using an event structure. Attached is a simple example. See if it makes sense.
    Notice that the bottom loop waits until needed and rarely spins.
    Also: Instead of a column of similar controls, use an array of controls. Instead of using thee sets of "dices" use one in a FOR loop.

  • Will Analog Instruments ADXL330 triaxial accelerometer work with the SCXI-1531 input module?

    I have an SCXI-1001 chassis and will soon be purchasing an accelerometer input module (SCXI-1531).  I'm also investigating possible accelerometers to buy.  Does anyone know if the the Analog Instruments ADXL330 accelerometer can be made to work with the SCXI-1531?  Here is a link to the Analog Instrument's page about the device:
    http://www.analog.com/en/sensors/inertial-sensors/adxl330/products/product.html
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    The output voltage and current levels are within specification of the module, the only concern I have is interfacing between the IC chip and the BNC connections on the 1531.  If you have a way to effectively connect the pins to BNC connectors and connect that to the module, then it should work.  Are you using the module's excitation source as well?

  • Save array control to .cfg with property nodes.

    Hi there!
    I have a front panel with many (and I mean many!) boolean arrays in tabs, and I want the option to save the values selected by the user to a .cfg file, which will be used to make the same selection again without the tedium of clicking on buttons. The only controls I want to save the value of are 1D boolean arrays of length 7 or 11, and these occur only on some of the tab pages; the others have been setup so that on their iteration a false criteria is met and no code executes.
    I have managed to get references to each control in each tab, and using a 'more specific class' function to narrow it down to Array controls only. However, when this runs, an error from 'convert variant to data' pops up, and use of a probe tells me the reference being called by my property node at the time of the error is that of an array INDICATOR, rather than a control. I thought the 'controls on page' node and subsequently the array control class specifier would mean that references for other types of array wouldn't make it into the true case where the saving to config file happens.
    The indicator in question is an array of a cluster of two strings and a string array, if that makes any sense/has any relevancy, and the error occurs on iteration 1 of the outer loop and iteration 21 of the inner loop, corresponding to the 22nd control reference from the second tab.
    I hope I've made the problem clear.

    There is a property called Is Control? (or Is Indicator?) that will help you sort them out.  I do not recall the exact name of the property but that should get you close enough to find it.

  • Let Auto-Map in Transform work with COLLAPSED nodes/tags ?

    When I open for a "Transform" activity the mapping editor and drag one complextype from one side to another on the other side then Auto-Mapping only works if the node/tag trees on both elements/sides are full expanded.
    If they are collapsed then auto-map does (currently) not work.
    Is there a way (option) to tell JDeveloper to look INSIDE collapsed nodes/trees and to auto-map the elements anyway?

    Hi,
    Have you checked if the "outside" ACL is getting hitcounts?
    Could also be usefull to check the logs through ASDM monitoring and see what happens when you attempt the connection.
    The NAT configurations seem correct to me.
    Have you tried to test the connections by briefly allowing all traffic from outside? (Since the only place people could connect to is the forwarded ports.) Have you tried to add the current DHCP IP of "outside" to the ACL and see if it makes any difference?
    If no configuration change makes a difference I would suggest using the ASDM monitoring to take logs of what happens.
    You could also use the "packet-tracer" command
    Format is
    packet-tracer input outside tcp
    And copy/paste the output here.

  • Has anyone Worked with the Essbase Data Mining Module?

    I'd appreicate if you could post a message if you have worked with the Predictor and Target Range Expressions, and data mining models in general? I am looking for some insights into what Essbase Data Mining can do...<BR><BR>Thanks.<BR><BR>- Sherwin

    Yeah, unfortunately I am coming to the same conclusion.
    This is the entire response I received for "instructions"
    There are two projects: "fire_text_project" and "fire_text_project_plugin". The first once does not require any plugin because one particle effect is pre-rendred. If you have trapcode particular then you can use the second project and modify it.
    Finally you can create a realistic fire text in after effects!
    It took me a week to do the 3d fire simulation and render out all the 26 letters on fire. This is a very realistic fire thats simulated using advanced 3d software. The video is 621 x 720 px and it is 7 seconds long. All the letters has the color video and the black and white (alpha) video. You can use the alpha matte to create a tranpsarent background for the colored video. That's is how it is done in the two example comps included in the project. You will have to understand that the letters are video so it is not as easy as typing the letters using text tool to edit the text. Open the "1st text  Example comp 1" comp and it has marker that explains in detail on how to edit it.
    The two included comps are "Example_comp 1" and "Example_comp 2". These are great examples of what you can do with fire text but the possiblity is endless.You can create many interesting comps with these text on fire. Just to let you know the text that is rendered in 3d app is Arial Black.
    Think I am going to have no choice but to simply cancel the sale and look for something else.
    Thanks for all the input.

  • How can I change the description of a control Icon with property nodes?

    hi
    I want to change the description of a control Icon and use for this the property nodes, but I don't know how. Who can help me?
    labprog

    If you're referring to the control's name on the screen, you can't change the label while the VI is running because it's part of the control's definition. Instead, make the label invisible and the caption visible and use the property Caption.
    If this doesn't help, elaborate more on what it is you need.

  • BW 3.5 works with multiple nodes for authorizations

    Hi,
    Does BW 3.5 allow to do authorizations on mutiple nodes? It seems that from the How to wotk with hierarchy authorizations paper, the variable can only allow filtering 1 node. for 2.0B. We have requirements to allow viweing multiple nodes in a hierarchy.
    Thanks
    Will

    Hi Will,
    creat a hierarchy-node variable fill by authorizations in the frontend. The type has to be multiple entries (not single value). In RSSM at the hierarchy authorization creation you have to use the F4 for selecting nodes. The F4 allows to drag more nodes into the right frame.
    Cheers
