LabVIEW Versions:

Created and tested with LabVIEW 2012

Dependencies:

UI Tools >= 1.3.0.70

jki_lib_state_machine >= 2.0.0

OpenG Application Control Library >= 4.1.0.7

OpenG Array Library >= 4.1.1.14

OpenG Error Library >= 4.2.0.23

OpenG File Library >= 4.2.0.21

OpenG LabVIEW Data Library >= 4.1.0.12

OpenG Variant Configuration File Library >= 4.0.0.5

BitMan - Bitmap Manipulation Library >= 1.0.1.0

Description:

This package contains a class to quickly create controls programmatically based on templates.

Instructions:

After installing package with VIPM, refresh palettes if VIPM is not set to refresh automatically.

Use palettes.

On LabVIEW restart, a Tools Menu shortcut gives access to a Control Generator GUI (Tools >> UI Tools >> Control Generator)

Known Issues:

The control creator provided under "Tools" menu is not yet complete:

- It doesn't batch process controls yet.

- The "pure white" (xFFFFFF) is drawn as black (use FEFEFE instead... that's close, and I really don't know why!)

Acknowledgements:

Wojciech Golebiowski for his BitMan library (Bitmap Manipulation).

History:

v1.4.0: Removed a self-conflicting dependency on new installation

v1.3.0: Renamed package and moved templates to vi.lib to remove the need to rely on system files (outside of LabVIEW folder structure).

Upgraded source code to 2012. Older versions not supported anymore.

Changed the namespacing and added an incompatibility with previous versions of this package.

Integrated into the palette of UI Tools (base package on LVTN 1.3.0.59+)

Fixed issue with scaling factor for True decal button

v1.2.0: Migrated to VIP file type (from OGP)

v1.1.0: Added functionality for creating different decals for True and false states.

This release is untested with the rest of the package.

It is strictly aimed at providing a temporary solution to creating custom controls with different decals for True and False states.

The package works as standalone, but might introduce some bugs in the parent package "UI Tools".

Do no install unless you absolutely need the new functionality right away.

Keep the latest UI Tools Addon Control Class package at hand to fall back in case it breaks functionality.

v1.0.15: Added "Save to previous version"

Added "Drop on Front Panel" and tested to work in projects or outside projects.

Added some configuration file entries and more error checking.

v1.0.14: Initial release of the code. (8.6)

LabVIEW Version: 2009

Description

lvODE is a set wrappers, an interface to ODE (Open Dynamics Engine) library written in C and used to simulate dynamics of rigid body systems, including interactivity and in real time. In the present state lvODE allows you to use almost the full functionality of ODE in the LabVIEW environment using object-oriented programming (LVOOP). Such simulations may be used, among others, for programming the control systems of robots and manipulators (as well as in the control systems themselves, i.e. for trajectory planning), for development and testing of artificial intelligence systems, for modeling of complex mechanisms and other physical systems, etc.

lvODE is not a strict set of ODE wrappers. Although it uses the same concepts, the same terminology and most of the ODE functions are reflected, many of them have been grouped, data structures have been simplified, all in a user-friendly manner and taking into account specifics of LabVIEW environment. There are also few features not present in the original library which greatly facilitate programming – i.e. Object Manager. Further extensions (i.e. 3D Picture Control integration) are planned.

Short preview movie:

Briefly about the ODE

ODE is a free and widely-known library designed to simulate systems of rigid bodies. The programmer defines the layout of bodies, their physical parameters and types of connections between them, the role of the library is to calculate the forces acting in the system and to determine position and velocity of all bodies in the next time step, while satisfying all defined relationships. Programmer is able to interfere in simulation in full range while it goes on. It allows for the accurate analysis of its results (access to all the physical parameters) as well as programming any degree of interactivity. ODE is designed specifically to perform real time simulations – it uses a first order integrator (the procedure to solve a system of differential equations), which is a compromise between speed and accuracy. Results generated are not as accurate as they would be using higher-order integrators, but it is stable, fast and flexible.

The basic features of ODE include:

• Rigid body with arbitrary mass distribution
• Types of kinematic pairs (joints, constraints): ball, slider, hinge, suspension, universal (Cardan), linear and rotary actuators, contact, and combinations that are already listed
• Types of geometry used for collision detection: sphere, cube, cylinder, capsule, plane, ray, any shape in the form of triangle mesh, convex, heightfield
• Three types of spaces for fast collision finding
• Equations of motion derived using Lagrange multipliers
• Choice of integration method: the "full" method – slower, but more accurate, and quick iterative method
• An advanced model of contact and friction

• ODE Manual.pdf - The original guide to the ODE. At least brief knowledge of it is necessary to understand the main concepts and mechanisms of library. Due to the use of the same terminology, it can also be a sufficient source to use the lvODE. The main difference from the original is the simplified naming convention.
• lvODE Class Hierarchy.pdf - graphical representation of a lvODE class hierarchy of classes library - not necessary to start programming, but it may help to understand certain concepts.
• lvODE Function Reference.pdf - a list of all public lvODE functions with descriptions and organized by class. Descriptions of the functions derive much of the original ODE manual, however, cover all the differences of the conventions and LabVIEW specifics. This document is definitely to be polished (better grouping, more detailed descriptions of each section, etc.)
• Files *. png - map of all pallets

An integral part of the documentation are also descriptions in of context help for each VI. In large part they fit the descriptions in the file "lvODE Function Reference". Private functions are documented as well.

Examples

Example applications are located in "examples" subdirectory. There are few examples with varying degree of complexity, and with comprehensive comments in the code. These examples, supported by context help and (in difficult cases), reading a few chapters of the original manual should be sufficient to start programming in lvODE.

Comments

lvODE is not a finished project. Once the ODE itself is still being developed, second, not whole its functionality is currently implemented in lvODE. The major differences include: no support for trimesh, heighfield and convex geometries, the lack of a 2D Plane constraint, lack of gyroscopic mode for the bodies, single precision floating point numbers only.

Few words about licensing. I publish lvODE under such a restrictive license (see below), because this is still experimental phase. I’ll appreciate any feedback which could help to make this library better and more stable. My further plans are to provide less restrictive free version and full-featured commercial one. Please contact me if you are interested.

Comments on this approach are also appreciated.

I have to convert a dynamically generated array into a JSON string and back. Unfortunately I found that the un-flatten method loses the variant data. See the screenshot of FP and BD and the comments inside.

JSON_Text_test.vi

Is this a bug in JSON Text or is my data-construction not supported as expected? In case of the letter I have modify huge parts of my code. So I hope that it is a bug 😉

The 2nd thing I recognized is that the name "Value" of the cluster is not used during flatten. Instead the name of the connected constant / control / line is used. I found the green VI ("Set Data Name__ogtk.vi") at OpenG Toolkit that allows me to programmatically set the variant data name. As you can imagine I would prefer not to need the OpenG VI.

Thanks in advance for your kind help 🙂

XML-RPC Server for LabVIEW Version 1.2.0

mesmith@sandia.gov

This release fixes error handling when the server does not start and port selection fron the Set Server State.vi.

This release is for the LabVIEW 2009 and LabVIEW 8.5 versions. LabVIEW 8.0 and 7.1 versions remain at release 1.1.0

*************************************************************************

This release fixes two primary bugs

1) Single quotes, which are allowable on attribute values according to the XML 1.0 Spec, were not correctly handled. Thanks to Richard Graham for identifying this bug and providing a fix (now incorporated into the project).

2) The server unintentionally blocked on some method calls and became unresponsive while the method call executed. This has been corrected and new methods will be launched asynchronously as fast as the server can process them. If one tries to call a method that is busy, an XML-RPC fault will be returned immediately since this server does not support reentrant method calls. If one needs re-entrancy, build a wrapper method that launches the reentrant instances. Or just catch the fault and try again until the method becomes available.

*******************************************************

XML-RPC Server for LabVIEW Version 1.0.0

Mark E. Smith

Sandia National Laboratories

This LabVIEW Project (8.5.1 and 7.1.1) provides

1) a LabVIEW XML-RPC server - accepts TCP/IP connections and calls XML-RPC Enabled LabVIEW functions

2) XML-RPC Message Builder tools - Allows conversion of supported LabVIEW data types to XML-RPC data types

3) XML-RPC Parser tools - converts XML-RPC data to supported LabVIEW data types

4) Method Template,vit - wraps LV VIs to create XML-RPC callable methods

This project is useful to allow any language that supports XML-RPC (most any, including Java, .NET, Perl, and Python - see http://www.xmlrpc.com/ for details) to call a LabVIEW built function. One example is for a Java application to control and collect data from a remote LabVIEW server. This server could be a real-time LabVIEW server (cRIO, for example) since this server should run on any LabVIEW target (including Linux and RT) and is compatible with LabVIEW 7.X - I say should be because I have not had the opportunity to test on a RT or Linux target but there are no dependencies in the code that aren't available on LVRT or Linux.

Is XML-RPC still useful given LabVIEW 8.6's Web Services capability? I don't know - I do know that XML-RPC is a lightweight implementation supported by many languages so the answer is probably "yes". XML-RPC complements rather than competes with the ReSTful architecture of the new 8.6 Web Services.

Getting Started:

Use the "Set Server State.vi" to start and stop the server. The "Call Generate Sine Wave.vi" demonstrates calling a LabVIEW function (the Sine Wave Generator) as an XML-RPC method. The actual method called is under XML-RPC Methods - open it to see how the XML-RPC protocol is converted to LabVIEW args and the LabVIEW output is converted to XML-RPC and returned to the server. Potentially any LabVIEW side function or VI that you create could be enclosed in this wrapper and called by anything (Java, Python, .NET, etc) that has XML-RPC support.

Converts a pixel coordinate to an array index. Returns an array of indices with a length equal to the number of array dimensions. Also returns if the point is within the content rectangle (not on the caption, scrollbars, etc.)

Works on any N-dimensional array regardless of visibility of caption, label, index display, or scrollbars. Designed to be used on mouse events that provide the mouse coordinates.

Limitations: Property nodes do not indicate the array border width, nor if the user has chosen to display an element gap. These inputs are thus provided on the VI.

In the Error is always the same error. Call Library Function Node 'libtestshared.so.Z2addii: not found in library.

When i change the functionname in the shared library to Z2addii the Call Library Function Node then calls the Z3Z2addiiii. 

But when i compiler a c-programm which uses the shared library i get the desired output.

Instructions:

This code has been tested to run under LabVIEW 7.1.1. It will probably work on any newer versions but it has not been tested. Just unzip the code into any folder of your chosing and open the example called, JKI pwd Example.vi. This shows a typical use case where you want to pop-up a non-blocking dialog and display a message and updated text from a parallel running task.

Features:

- Can specify a limited preset amount of progress images via the "animation" selector

- Can update the status message in real-time after the dialog has been launched.

- Setting an animation value of 0 disables animation and displays only text.

- Handles being built into an application

- The dialog is not modal when run in the development environment however it becomes modal when built into an executable.

Version History:

1.0.2:

Renamed VI prefix from MNA to JKI.

Added more documentation to diagram and VI descriptions.

1.0.1:

Fixed bug where dialog was not centering on screen.

Changed dialog behaviour so it updates position on screen before the front panel is open.

1.0.0:

Initial release of the code.

Name: Dispatcher

LabVIEW Version: 2009

License Type: Other (included with download)

This is a Publisher/Subscriber implementation of network communications.

The package is comprised of two main parts.

1. A Dispatcher that handles connection requests.

2. An API for interacting with the Dispatcher.

Overview.

Most people are probably familiar with RSS feeds. An RSS feed is an example of a publisher/subscriber implementation,

where information is "published" onto the internet and people may "subscribe" to updates using their browser or

some other client. A single published service may have millions on subscribers and publish its data every few hours as

data changes or periodically, maybe once or twice a day.

This package contains a similar implementation where a client "subscribes" to a "publisher", however, it is geared towards

high bandwidth data streaming across a local network. So, unlike its internet counterpart, it is not attempting to

service millions of clients who require an update once or twice a day. But service a few (maybe 1-10) clients every few seconds

or even milliseconds.

Detail:

The main focus of this package is the Dispatcher which facilitates the publisher/subscriber environment.

The implementation can support many network topologies that suit the developers requirements.

For example:

A single dispatcher may be located on a remote machine and all publishers and subscribers are remote and communicate

through it (centralised). Alternatively, there may be many dispatchers on different machines, each with their own

cluster of local services and the subscriber connects to the machine that contains the publisher of interest (decentralised).

Or even a mixture of both. The implementation is not rigid and allows for the developer to choose

the topology simply by installing once or more dispatchers and initiating a connection.

An API is provided to enable interaction with the Dispatcher to query its services, request a connection

and send/receive data.

Additional Features:

Supports data-stream encryption (blowfish).

Installation:

Unzip to a directory of your choice.

Required Packages:

Labview 9.0 or greater.

tcplomp@gmail.com

Distribution:

This code was downloaded from:

http://lavag.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=19

Description:

A custom probe to put on a variant.

It will create a tree based on the variant data, and populate the tree with the data, the attributes of the variant will be shown as well.

The datatype description will determine the color of the tree items.

Historical data is available as well.

Version 2.0 introduces a Variant Tree XControl which can be used in any project. Located under the user.lib palette, it gives great flexibility to the programmer.

The programmer has the possibility to give the end user permissions for the following actions:

-Reset

This will reset the whole tree contents

-Traverse Variant Attributes

This will enable/disable the traversion of variant attributes

-Colorize

This will enable/disable coloring of the actual datatype

All of these customizations are available as properties/methods for the actual XControl as well, or you access them (while the owning VI is in edit mode) via the short cut menu.

Installation method 1:

Install the OGP file using VIPM (www.jkisoft.com/vipm)

and you have a custom VariantProbe and xcontrol

To use it add a probe to a variant datatype or to an array of variants.

It can pause if the data changes, and will notify you if a change happens.

Dependencies:

The following OpenG packages should be installed:

oglib_string>=2.6

oglib_lvdata>=2.8

oglib_comparison>=2.3

oglib_error>=2.0

Known issues:

Is slow on large variants.

Submitted: 27 Aug 2011

Category: Remote Control, Monitoring and the Internet

License Type: Other (included with download)

Transport.lvlib is a LabView API to simplify and accelerate networked communication development.

It simplifies development by abstracting TCPIP, UDP and Bluetooth and TLS interfaces

into a single polymorphic vi which is a thin wrapper around the conventional

open, read, write, close and listener VIs for all the network interfaces.

Features:

Supports TCP/IP, Bluetooth, UDP (p2p, broadcast and multicast) and TLS.

Supports symetric encryption (blowfish).

Supports compression (zlib).

--see readme text for contact information

Instructions:

This code has been tested to run under LabVIEW 8.2.1. Unzip the code into any folder of your choice and open the example called, GetRefExample.vi. This shows how to use the 'Get Reference To All Controls.vi' as well as the 'Get Control Reference by Name.vi' to obtain a reference to all controls and how to search thru those reference to obtain the reference you want.

Features:

Get Reference to All Controls.vi

-Gets the references and labels to All the controls on the front panel of the calling VI.

-Is Able to search thru all Tab Controls recursively to compile a complete list of Controls from the front panel.

Get Control Reference by Name.vi

-Polymorphic VI that allows for searching list for single reference or an array of references.

-Gets a Specific Reference from the List of All Controls by Control Name(Label).

Get Control References By Match Pattern.vi

-Gets an Array of References for all Controls containing the regular expression in the label.

Change Log:

1.0.0: Initial release of the code.

1.1.0: Changed the Class ID of a Tab Control from a constant to a Property Node (To support Future LabVIEW Releases)

1.2.0: Added Get Control References By Match Pattern.vi (Authored By: Justin Goeres) Thanks!

Modified GetRefExample to Include the Get Control References By Match Pattern.vi

Improved some performace by removing unnecessary Items from Loops (Thanks JFM!)

Removed all Dialog boxes from VI's and replaced them with proper error output messages.

Added shift registers where necessary to ensure proper error is passed out of each VI.

Recompiled under LabVIEW 8.2.1.

Description:

Provides an intuitive interface for tabular controls containing multiple data types. Users can use various controls and datatypes. Users can also use provided functions for registering and looking up type parameters by control (as well as by column, row, or cell).

When you click on a cell, a correctly positioned and sized popup appears allowing for a controlled and intuitive input. Appears like it is a built-in feature, not an annoying popup window.

Features:

- Supports tables, listboxes, multicolumn listboxes, trees, and string controls.

- Implements many data types : string, integer, float, color, ring, boolean, captioned string, etc.

- Can use multiple tabular controls in same program with no programming changes

- Can pre-register controls with certain data types

- Register the entire control, or columns, rows, and cells.

- Can edit the registered data type by registering again at any time

- Allows for different font sizes

- Works even on modal windows

Instructions:

Run the Demo program to see example usage.

To recreate --

1. Drop 'TSPopup.Popup Cluster.ctl' anywhere on your front panel.

2. Create program logic, similar to the demo

MANDATORY elements

a. TSPopup.Initialize.vi (register for the user event in your event structure)

b. TSPopup.Lookup.vi (returns positioning information, looks up any registered controls)

c. TSPopup.Show Popup.vi (called in a Mouse Down? event case)

d. an event case for the user event output from (a.)

e. TSPopup.Close.vi (called at end of program)

OPTIONAL elements

f. TSPopup.Register.vi (register controls with popup type parameters)

g. TSPopup.Update Cell String.vi (provided to show how to change the cell string after popup is completed)

3. Bring the Popup Cluster to the front on the front panel. Otherwise the popup will show up behind some of the other controls on your User Interface.

Limitations:

- Can't programmatically bring popup cluster to front. Must do this manually.

Change Log:

1.0.0: Initial release of the code.

1.0.1: Added another demo using dynamically changing data types in a tree

Removed LV version specific event handling (only dealt with LV 7.1)

Fixed bug where headers defaulted to have same type as their column/row

Fixed cluster scanning from text

Fixed ring to default to index 0 if string unrecognized

Changed the background event monitor to always be hidden

Waptia - genetic optimization algorithm

Copyright © 2009, Wojciech Golebiowski

All rights reserved.

Author: Wojciech Golebiowski (w_golebiowski (at) tlen.pl)

Name: Waptia - genetic optimization algorithm

Type: library

LabVIEW version: 8.2

Distribution:

This code was downloaded from:

http://www.lavag.org

Description:

Waptia is general genetic optimization algorithm - it tries to maximize user supplied function of N variables (so called "Fitness Function"). Function is given as strictly typed VI reference. So the optimization goal may be described as: find such set of N numbers for which Fitness Function value is highest.

Waptia is LabVIEW implementation of quite well known genetic optimization algorithm Pikaia by Paul Charbonneau & Barry Knapp developed in Fortran-77. For more information on Pikaia and some background informatio on genetic algorithms visit: http://www.hao.ucar....kaia/pikaia.php

Pikaia name comes from lancelet-like creature which lived ages ago in Cambrian sea and waptia was another Cambrian being. Original Pikaia was developed for educational purposes, but it grew up and became widely used routine. Waptia is almost 1:1 conversion of Pikaia code (which is public domain) to LabVIEW - parts of original Fortran code are placed in related VIs - with some cosmetic modifications and improvements. Although Waptia already does real job I treat this code as starting point for further development to create sophisticated, but still easy to use genetic algorithm.

Here are Waptia's core features:

- decimal genotype encoding

- two-point crossover operator

- optional dynamically adjustable mutation rate

- optional "creep" (smoothly changing) mutation mode

- three possible reproduction plans

- elitism

- optionally stops optimization when fitness criterion is satisfied

- optimization progress may be traced on-line with notifiers

Usage is very simple - just put Waptia.vi on block diagram and provide number of independent variables and fitness function VI reference (which may be created using included template). There is of course a lot of parameters to tune, but default set usually does good job.

Installation

Preferably install VIP package with VI Package Manager

Alternatively extract ZIP to User.lib.

There are no external dependencies.

Documentation

Documentation is provided in "Waptia docs.rtf" file. It's just a description of all controls of Waptia.vi with some background information. Same information may be found in context help. Information on how to write your own fitness function is provided as comments in "Fitness Function Template.vit"

If you want to understand how Waptia works, whole code is extensively commented.

Examples

There is one quite complex example (but I hope that still understandable) located in _examples folder - "multimodal optimise.vi"

If you want any support on general or specifically genetic optimization problems, just contact me.

LCD1.ctl, LCD2.ctl, LCD3.ctl

---

Here are a couple of controls that simulate an LCD numerical display. You will need to install the fonts for them to work as pictured. You can achieve the same things with which ever font you like but it really only works with mono-spaced fonts.

You can customize each control in the "Advanced" right click menu of the control to set the precision you need or to modify the font size. Note that you can't change the font size without customizing the "background" label font too. Accessing and modifying each component is most easily achieved by changing the z-order of the components using the Ctrl-K, Ctrl+J shortcuts while in tweezer mode

Name: Find References XNode

Submitter: hooovahh

Submitted: 03 Feb 2015

Category: XNodes

License Type: BSD (Most common)

Description

This zip contains an XNode which makes finding references to objects easier.  The core of the attached XNode is a modified version of the Find References by Label VI that can be found in the vi.lib.  This VI will return the first match of a control that has the label provided.  This modified version has the ability to find all references that match a label given a string which the label contains, starts with, ends with, or it can be an exact string.  So for instance it can find all objects that start with "Numeric".

This XNode still has the ability to return a single scalar reference like the original, which can be done by right clicking the XNode and un-selecting "Find All References".  By default it returns an array of references found.

If multiple references are chosen, the order of those references can be changed.  An enum is used to change the sort method from String Sort, Numeric Sort, Sort from Left to Right, Sort from Top to Bottom, or Sort from Top to Bottom then Left to Right.  This is most useful when you have controls on a front panel arranged in a grid.

Another improvement over the native function, is the output reference type is changed to a selected class.  Right click the XNode and go to Select VI Server Class to select an object type.  There is also a browse button which brings up a dialog where the list can be alphabetized, and a simple string can help find the type desired.

Other features of the native function are still provided like using caption labels on controls, and searching the front panel, block diagram, or other owning reference types.

Demonstration

Below is a video showing the basic operation of the XNode.  It demonstrates how to find control references, and how the sort, and search features work.  It then shows that the same technique can be used to find any object type on the block diagram too.

http://screencast.com/t/gFBen503rg

XNode Disclaimer

NI does not provide support XNode development.  It is an experimental technology and neither I, nor NI can be held accountable for unexpected operation.

For an introduction to XNodes read Adam Rofer's "XNodes - A Crash Course" presentation (http://lavag.org/files/file/56-xnodes-a-crash-course-powerpoint).

* You can right click on arguments list and add one case not previously define.

Run only if one case structure allready exist and connect to argument tunnel.

* Now String constant is colorize with different colors for arguments, comments

and lock states when you update it. Like that string constant text become more readable.

Colors can be configure in Rcf options.

Submitter: SDietrich

Submitted: 01 Mar 2014

Category: Database & File IO

License Type: Other (included with download)

This is a package containing LabVIEW bindings to the client library of the PostgreSQL database server (libpq).

The DLL version 9.3.2 and its dependencies are included in the package. This DLLs are taken out of a binary distribution from the Postgres-Website and are thread-safe (e.g. the call to PQisthreadsafe() returns 1). As of the moment the DLLs are 32bit only.

The VIs are saved in LabVIEW 2009.

So this package works out of the box if you have a 32bit LabVIEW 2009 or higher on any supported Windows operating system.

Because this obviously is a derived work from PostgreSQL it is licensed by the PostgreSQL license.

A few words regarding the documentation: This package is meant for developers who know how to use the libpq. You have to read and understand the excellent documentation for the library. Nonetheless all VIs contain extracts of that documentation as their help text.

What's coming next?

- adding support for 64bit

- adding support for Linux (anybody out there to volunteer for testing?)

- adding support for MAC (anybody out there to volunteer for testing?)

Toolbar Class

Copyright © 2014, Brian Hoover (hooovahh)

Author:

Brian Hoover (hooovahh)

Environment Support:

LabVIEW 2011 and up

Windows only (likely XP and newer) due to .NET dependency

Description:

This is a toolbar class designed to make toolbars in the UI, which appear more like normal toolbars seen in Windows.

The idea for this came about because I wanted a way to make a simple toolbar, but didn't want to have to make all the button states for mouse not over, mouse over, mouse down. I just wanted to provide one PNG file for a button, and have it take care of how the button should look.

I also wanted a way to handle when there are more buttons than there is room for horizontally. When this happens I wanted a More Options button to appear which when clicked gives a vertical list of the remaining buttons, and a veritcial scrollbar if there are too many buttons to show vertically.

I also wanted support for basic veritcal and horizontal separators.

This toolbar class can do all these things, and all that is needed is to provide the buttons as PNG files with alpha layers. other file types like JPG, and BMP are supported but won't look as good just because buttons don't need to be a rectangle and can have soft edges. The Add Icon(s).vi is a polymorphic and also can add images from Image Data, or the native LabVEW picture data type. But these image types have the same issue mentioned with JPG and BMP that they don't support alpha layers.

Dependencies:

This relies on the following OpenG packages, a VIPC is included.

OpenG Error Library-4.2.0.23

OpenG Application Control Library-4.1.0.7

OpenG File Library-4.0.1.22

OpenG String Library-4.1.0.12

OpenG Array Library-4.1.1.14

OpenG LabVIEW Data Library-4.2.0.21

Installation and instructions:

At the moment this is not distributed as a package but just a zip with the required files in it. Install the OpenG packages required or install the Required Packages.vipc. Then run the Example Toolbar under the Example folder. This uses images from within the Example Images folder and must be in the same directory as the Example Toolbar.vi. There is also a Toolbar Tree.vi which shows the public functions as they could appear on the palette.

Dependencies:

LabVIEW 8.2 or higher

Description:

Sometimes it happens that you're running a modal VI, you can't stop it and the only option you have to recover is to kill the LabVIEW process and start over. Running this VI will present a list (on top of your other modal VI) of all VIs running in all contexts (except NI.* and JKI.*). Select the one giving you trouble and this VI will abort it. Keep this VI handy and you'll never be stuck again.

Instructions:

*NOTE* This VI needs to be set to "Run when opened"; I purposely didn't set it for submission here because I think it's impolite. Take a look at the Block Diagram, satisfy yourself that it's safe (here be dragons, rusty nails and all), set the execution to run when opened, put the VI where it'll be handy and commence developing code secure in the knowledge that a UI mistake won't lock your LabVIEW process.

Category: User Interface

License Type: BSD (Most common)

A pair of subVIs for connecting a cluster of enums and booleans to a set of options in a menu (either the right-click shortcut menu on control or the VI menu bar). Adding new menu options requires only dropping a new boolean or enum in the cluster.

See original conversation here.

I use this heavily in User Interfaces, with display options being accessed via the shortcut menus of graphs, tables, and listboxes, rather than being independent controls on the Front Panel.

Relies on the OpenG LabVIEW Data Library.

LabVIEW Versions:

Created and tested with LabVIEW 8.6

Dependencies:

lava_lib_ui_tools >=1.0.36

Description:

This package contains classes for manipulating Trees with some enhanced features.

It consists of a set of VIs to create tree objects and associating tags with data in a variant format.

Includes:

- includes some icons from FamFamFam (see license in _Symbols directory) for demo purposes. You do not need these icons if you use the Tree OOP classes in your work.

Instructions:

After installing package with VIPM, refresh palettes if VIPM is not set to refresh automatically.

You will find the palettes in the UI Tools functions palette (user.lib)

Known Issues:

- No drag and drop functionalities included. You'll have to do that on your own if wanted. (for now anyway)

- Arrays will be shown has a succession of Unnamed items. Recursive VI provides a way to put it on

a single line within brackets, but has been removed to provide backward compatibility to 8.6. An add-on

will be posted for LV 9.0+ users.

- The Children & Parents Symbols synchronization works only for Symbol indexes 1-2-3 (True-False-Mixed).

- When adding an item on the same level as an existing one, it gets added in front. Expected behavior would

be to have it added afterwards.

- Modifying a child's data does not recursively modify the parents' data (cluster variants). This will

become obvious once you try the framework... This functionality will be kept in my mind for future improvements.

CaseSelect is a plugin for the JKI Right-Click Framework for LabVIEW and is distributed as a VIPM package.

Introduction

I make State Machines with many, many states; perhaps you do, too. I don't like scrolling through long lists of states and have wanted to have a scroll bar on the drop-down list. This plug-in launches a new panel with a Tree control (one that has a scroll bar) containing each of the Case names.

Features

• Select a case in the CaseSelect window and it comes to the front in your Block Diagram
• JKI State Machine states are indented in the Tree control
• CaseSelect window floats and can be resized
• Open multiple CaseSelect windows at the same time to work with more than one Case Structure
• Select a case with the mouse or navigate the Tree using arrow keys
• Insert & delete states with Insert/Delete keys or context menu (Insert suggests new name based on section header)
• Reorder cases with drag/drop
• Ctrl+drag/drop to duplicate a case (suggests new name based on section header)
• Collapse/expand all tree elements with context menu
• Sort cases alphabetically (preserving the section headers of a JKI State Machine)

• I'm pretty bad at keeping track, but here are a few...
• Renaming a case triggers a search-and-replace for all instances of the old name in all String Constants
• Select a String Constant in your VI and double-click a case in CaseSelect and that will be appended to the String Constant - build macros quickly

New in 3.0.0.4 (currently only for LabVIEW 2010)

• I'm still pretty bad at keeping track, but I made a new package.
• Added navigation buttons to move back and forth through the states you've visited (history) ~ still buggy

File Submitted: 4 Dec 2006

File Updated: 24 august 2012

File Category: Custom Probes

This Custrom probe is useful for browsing the contents of a variant.

It will try to parse all the fields in the variant (notify me if you have a fail).

It will track the history of the variant and allow you to pause on a change.

It will present the data in a tree structure, allowing you to browse through the history.

Be warned, the tree structure is great for viewing, but tracking a lot of history (>50 or so) will slow down the update of the tree.

Version History:

• 2.4: Immediate updating after changing of attributes
  Rebuild in LabVIEW 2011
  
• 2.3: Fixed a bug that caused attributes not to be traversed on certain data-types
  
• 2.2: Fixed a relinking bug
  
• 2.1: Fixes a bug where unnamed cluster elements where used (http://lavag.org/topic/10269-discuss-variantprobe/page__view__findpost__p__67677)
  
• 2.0: Added an XControl
  Show XControl in palette (under user.lib controls)
  Add coloring
  Add 'user permissions' on XControl
  Add Reset on XControl
  Add optionally traversing attributes on XControl
  Add optionally colorizing on XControl
  Add optionally resetting on XControl
  
• 1.2.0: Upgraded to LabVIEW 8.5 to use Inheritance
  Support for Waveforms, timestamps and dynamic datatypes (thanks to Osvaldo)
  Added probe for an array of Variants
  Distributed as one .llb and added OGP installer
  If a Variant hasn't changed it's not decomposed (optimization)
  
• 1.1.0: Support for attributes of variants
  
• 1.0.1: Controls placed on a seperate pane
  Resize tree to upper pane
  Hide unused columns
  Limited maximum history length (default 10)
  Window resizable
  
• 1.0.0: Initial release of the code.

Name: BitMan (Bitmap Manipulation Library)

Type: framework, library

LabVIEW version: 8.2.1

Description:

Bitman library is designed for image processing based on a specially-defined structure to store the image, and a system of filters. It is not only a set of tools performing specific operations on images, but also a framework to help create your own image processing functions with a mechanism called "dynamic filters".

Library contains few basic built-in filters. Their design concentrates on the versatility, ease of use, and the clearance of the code. This results in a decrease of efficiency and consequently, processing of large images using standard filters may be slow. But this is not a limitation of the framework and it is possible to create user filters, which may - as a more specialized - operate much more efficiently. Built-in filters are good for processing of relatively small images and can be used to support programming user interfaces, operations on the icons, creating graphical documents, etc.

Library was written using object-oriented programming techniques (LVOOP).

Installation

Libraries can be used after unpacking it anywhere on disk. Access to all of the features is possible then by opening the library file "BitMan Lib.lvlib". However, it is most convenient to copy entire BitMan directory to the directory \user.lib. After the restart of LabVIEW on a pallet, in the User Libraries, sub-palette "BitMan" will appear.

Documentation

A description of all VIs from palette is available in the file "docs\BitMan docs.html". Descriptions are also included (for all functions) in the Documentation section of the VI Properties dialog, as well as for more important front panel controls and, as such, are available through the LabVIEW context help.

Examples

Examples of applications can be found in the directory "examples" (examples of the use of the library itself) and the directory "examples\Dynamic Filters" (examples of the creation of filters). Examples along with descriptions in the diagrams are an integral part of the documentation.

Functionality

The most important class it the Bitmap class. It contains structure for storing an image (the description of the structure may be found in documentation under Bitmap type.ctl) and the basic access methods. The main assumption of this structure is to store the image in three-dimensional U8 array, where subsequent dimensions mean respectively height (y coordinate), width (x) and subsequent color channel. Number of channels in the image depends on the bit depth, additionally you can define any number of user channels. It is possible to store pictures 1 -, 4 -, 8 -, 24 - and 32-bit, while the 32-bit means here CMYK color model, rather than - as is sometimes used - RGB images with transparency . Transparency (the so-called alpha channel) is stored in a separate field of the structure. Support for CMYK images is not fully implemented yet.

The processing of images is done by the use of system of filters implemented in General Filter class. This class stores a reference to strictly typed VI processing an image and its runtime parameters. The filter is launched with Filter Run method, which uses the dynamic call mechanism. Filter runtime parameters are stored in the object as a variant variable for unified method for passing them.

Users can create their own filters in two ways: by using methods of Dynamic Filter class and filter template or by creating a new class inheriting from General Filter class. It is also possible to create a function-specific interfaces for the use of filters as the normal LV function. Inheriting and transparent interface is the way buit-in filters work, so they are also a specific example of use of the library.

Template to create your own filters may be found in "typedefs".

Using of dynamic filters is supported Library Filter class designed for managing filters. It makes use of the functional global mechanism for storing and providing access to pre-loaded filters with assigned names. It can call the filters by using short names anywhere in the code, without a burdensome wiring of filter objects.

Another supporting class is Bitmap With Filters class, inheriting from the Bitmap class and extending its functionality with a possibility of using a sequence of filters.

More detailed descriptions of individual functions and applications can be found in the above mentioned documentation and examples.

This Labview scripting tool takes a standard VI, and creates a wrapper around it to launch it as a daemon. This is useful for creating inline code modules that need a process to run in the background.Accessible through the tools menu option.

Features:

• Daemons will abort when the top level VI is aborted.
• Daemon can be aborted by closing the "Daemon Owner" VI refnum.
• Daemons obey source VI properties such as open front panel when called.
• Host process can be reentrant or standard.
• Tool places created daemon in idential project location.
• Tool will not alter the source VI in any way.

To install this toolkit unzip and run the setup.vi file.

The setup.vi as well as uninstall.vi will run immediately upon opening, so if you wish to inspect the files open the .lvproj file in the /source directory.

It will install the toolkit to whatever version of labview runs the setup.vi file.

uninstall.vi will uninstall the package.

The package has been saved in LabVIEW 8.6, and fully tested in 8.6 & 2010.

Description:

Hyper Terminal is a program that you can use to connect to other computers, devices and host computers.

Hyper Terminal has capabilities beyond making connections to other computers and devices. It can, for example, transfer large files from a computer onto your portable computer using a serial port rather than requiring you to set up your portable computer on a network. It can help debug source code from a remote terminal. It can also communicate with many older, character-based computers.

Hyper Terminal records the messages passed to and from the computer on the other end of your connection. It can therefore serve as a valuable troubleshooting tool when setting up and using your serial port. To make sure that your device is connected properly or to view your device settings, you can send commands through Hyper Terminal and check the results. Hyper Terminal also has scroll functionality that enables you to view received text that has scrolled off the screen

Installation and instructions:

Description:

This VI provides a simple batch image conversion interface to the ImageMagick 'convert' utility. It converts and resizes groups of images specified by the user (it was originally developed for organizing documentation screenshots).

Be warned that this is a pretty simple VI. It has basic error reporting & handling. It should serve as a starting point for people who want to explore the usage of ImageMagick with LabVIEW.

This VI is Windows-only (the registry lookup and calling syntax are OS-specific), but it would not be difficult to adapt to other OSes.

Requirements:

A working Windows ImageMagick installation.

Description:

This is an OOP Framework that allows the development of By Reference Objects

with the capability to also be Active Objects.

By Reference capability is achieved by wrapping a DVR of the Data Members in a LVOOP Object.

An Active Object is one that has its own background process which is launched when the object

is instantiated. Active Objects are useful if your object requires time dependent characteristics.

Examples:

By Reference Object Demo

Demos\BikeDemo\Src\BikeDemo.vi

By Reference Active Object Demo

Demos\PumpDemo\Src\PumpDemo.vi

LVOOP Event Handler v1.0.1

Copyright © 2010, François Normandin.

All rights reserved.

Author:François Normandin

Contact Info: Contact via PM on www.lavag.org

LabVIEW Versions:

Created and tested with LabVIEW 2009

Dependencies:

openg_appcontrol 2.10

openg_error 2.3

Description:

This is a package that provides the framework for a LVOOP Subscribable Event Handler.

Processes can dynamically register new events and list the classes that are allowed to subscribe to it.

Once a TopProcess takes ownership of the Handler, it manages a Global Stop event and a Handler Activity event to inform subscribers that a new event has been registered with the handler. All subscribers can then get a list of all the events they are allowed to subscribe to.

Everything is done through events with LVOOP LVObject as a backbone. The subscriber will then be free to implement its interpretation of the subscribe event content when received, by casting to the known object types.

Instructions:

After installing package with VIPM, refresh palettes if VIPM is not set to refresh automatically.

Use palette to find the LVOOP Event Handler. Select the Event Handler VI and drop it in your application.

There is a test program that shows how data is exchanged between three dummy classes. You can open the front panel

of the Event Handler to see what are the actual allowed subscribers for which event owner.

Known Issues:

Acknowledgements:

History:

v1.0.0: Initial release of the code. (2009)

v1.0.1: Fixed a wrong connection with the "Preserve RunTime Class" primitive where children classes were not considered as such when a parent class was passed.

Better error handling on Destroy Handler command. (Caused a code 1 error when event destroyed by owner prior handler command.

Added the Event Description string to the connector pane.

============================

How it works:

This framework consists of a FGV Event Handler that manages the interactions between publishers and subscribers to events. It consists of some commands that allow the use of generic LVOOP events.

It allows the owner to control a Global Stop command, which can be listened by any VI. Once initialized, any process can register its own events and choose which classes are able to subscribe dynamically to it.

A generic event notifies all subscribers to a change in the list of the events available, so that no VI needs to poll constantly to detect the new events or unsubscribe from events that are unregistered by its owner.

Commands:

1- Initialize Handler: The first VI to call the initialization takes ownership of the handler. All other calls before the handler is destroyed will return an error.

2- Subscribe: Default case. When a VI subscribes to event, it will receive a list of all events for which it is allowed to register. Then the VI can decide what it does with the incoming data on that event channel.

3- Register: Any VI can register an event refnum (LVOOP type) and decide which object types can subscribe to it. If no input is provided, or if LVObject is in the list, then all are allowed to subscribe. A notification is sent via the Handler Activity event.

4- Unregister: Any VI that owns an event can remove it from the list. A notification is sent to everyone that listens to the Handler Activity event to prevent the need for poling.

5- Global Stop: Only the owner of the handler can call a global stop. It is meant to protect the integrity of the program should a subscriber decide to play god.

6- Destroy Handler: Releases the command to any process that wants to initialize it. It also erases all events still registered. It can only be called by the Handler's owner.

There is an example VI in the LVOOP Event Handler palette.

Windows API Utilities.

An eclectic set of wrapper VIs around some windows API functions.

I wrote these many years ago (1998? wow!) but have used them to some extent in virtually all my windows programs.

I've included all the original functions (accidentally re-compiled under LV 9.0) and just wrapped them up in a project and added the LAVA required stuff so your getting them "warts 'n all".

Many functions have been superseded by LabView functions and I expect many people already have their own.

But there are still some gems I couldn't do without and maybe someone will find them useful.

Installation:

Unzip to a directory of your choice.

Required Packages:

Labview 9.0 or greater

Windows XP or greater (may work on earlier versions)

Known Issues.

None.

SQLIte API

This LAVA Code Repository Download is no longer distributed or supported by LAVA.

Please follow this link for further support.

Description:

This is a Labview API wrapper for the SQLite dll.

From the authors of SQLite:

"SQLite is a in-process library that implements a self-contained,

serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database engine.

The code for SQLite is in the public domain and is thus free for use

for any purpose, commercial or private".

More information can be found on the SQLite website http://www.sqlite.org.

The LabView API contains all the basic SQLite features but it is not a full implementation.

However, it is comprehensive enough to satisfy most application requirements for

a databse enabled application and the featurelist will grow with each new release.

Currently supported features include:

Creating, deleting, listing and renaming tables and columns.

Selecting, inserting, updating and deleting records.

Retrieving SQLite system informaion.

"Onlne" database backup.

"On Insert", "On Delete" and "On Update" Triggers.

File Import.

Query Saving.

Installation:

Unzip to a directory of your choice.

Install the pallet menu file (.mnu) provided.

Required Packages:

Labview (Win x32, x64,) 9.0 or greater.

SQLite DLL (Included).

Supported Environments.

Windows x32, x64

Known Issues.

Cannot use semicolons ";" in values when using "Query Transaction" polymorphic instance.

Workaround: Replace semicolons with another character (e.g. tilda "~") or use the standard "Query" or "Query By Ref" VIs.

Versioning:

Current version 1.2.1

New Feature: Added "Conflict Clause" to SQLite_Insert and SQLite_Insert Table.vi (allow replace, fail ect)

Performance: Changed "SQLite_Prepare.vi" and "SQLite_Bind.vi" to pass data as a U8 array rather than string.

Performance: Changed "Insert" (SQLite_Insert Row.vi) to use "Insert Table". (All inserts now use prepared statements.

Performance: Changed some low level VIs to re-entrant for better concurrency.

Bug Fix: Changed all polymorphic API VIs to show instance icon.

(some context help for VI was not being displayed when set to polymorphic VIs' icon)

Bug Fix: Exposed "Distinct" boolean on "SQLite_Select.vi". (No terminal on compane).

Bug Fix: Replaced some cursor "Unset Busy" with "Set Busy" in SQLite DB Manager.

Bug Fix: Changed "SQLite_Bind.vi" to force sqlite dll to use local copy of data.

(Fixes reported bug in LVx32 insering the same data in multiple columns).

Changes: Changed icon on "Insert Table" to make more visually discerning from "Insert".

Version 1.2.0.0

Multistate Boolean LED Indicator V1.0.0

Copyright © 2008, Phillip Duncan

All rights reserved.

Author:

Phillip Duncan

--see readme file for contact information

Background:

I have had many people ask for an LED type indicator for their project. During development, I often get asked to have this Boolean (ie 2 state) indicator display one of (more than 2) colours.

Whilst that in itself is not difficult, more often than not I am then asked to make the Boolean LED flash as well to highlight certain states.

For example a single LED will often need to indicate the following states:

OFF (green, red or grey)

ON (Green, red or grey)

Flashing (green, red, any other colour)

I have had so much demand for this functionality, that I decided to develop this XControl and share it with the LabVIEW Community.

Many thanks must go to Aristos Queue and his inspiring "Scrolling LED XControl" example.

Description:

This XControl is a typical Boolean LED indicator that can also be configured to flash between two user defined colours. The flashing interval can also be modified.

When not flashing, the XControl behaves as a normal Boolean LED.

This XControl is an indicator only is is not intended to be used as a control.

Dependancies:

There are no OpenG dependencies for this XCtonrol

Known Issues:

If you save this code for version 8.0/8.2, you may encounter issues trying to assign multiple properties in one property node.

This is a bug in LabVIEW 8.0/8.2

Name: MemBlock

Type: library

LabVIEW version: 8.2

Description

MemBlock is easy to use interface for internal LabVIEW memory manager functions (namely AZNewPtr, AZDisposePtr and MoveBlock from LabVIEW.dll). It allows for convenient work with continuous nonreallocatable blocks of memory) - allocating and dealocating blocks and write and read data to and from them. It is usable everywhere you deal with external DLL and you have to provide pointer to some data or read data from received pointer. Typical usage case is dealing with complex C structs containing pointers to arrays or strings.

Installation

Preferred way to install library is to use VIP package and VI Package Manager.

Alternatively library may be used after unpacking it anywhere on disk. However, it is most convenient to copy entire MemBlock directory to the directory \user.lib. After refreshing palletes (or LV restart), in the User Libraries, sub-palette "MemBlock" will appear.

Documentation

Descriptions of all VIs are available through the LabVIEW context help.

• - Generate label style from selection (retrieves both text attributes and alignment to label owning object if any)
• - Apply any style to currently selected text labels (also finding labels belonging to selected objects and showing up hidden labels)
• - Labels remember their style - when any of text attributes or label relative position has changed, original style may be recovered with single click (even after closing VI and opening it again). This association may be also removed.
• - Works for both Block Diagram and Front Panel labels
• - Graphically manage label styles

Mark Balla Icon editor V2.3

October 2009

Author: Mark Balla

--see readme file for contact information.

Description:

This is the second version of my vi icon editor and was created in LV8.2., 8.6, 2009

The purpose is to help quickly create text base icons.

The editor can be used in place of the standard NI icon editor or as a stand alone vi. see instructions.

Instructions: LV 2009

1:Rename the curret LabVIEW 2009 Icon editor LabVIEW 2009\resource\plugins\lv_Icon.vi to a different name so it will not be overwritten.

2: Place the three files (lv_icon.vi, color templates.bin and the folder lv_icon_Subvis) in the LabVIEW 2009\resource\plugins directory.

The next time the icon editor is called LabVIEW will use the lv_icon.vi instead of the standard one.

There is a button on the editor that will allow you to use NI's editor (Old editor not the new one) when a text icon is not desired.

Version 2.1:

Along with the auto drawing and Text compressing from version 1, version 2 has 2 new features.

1: In addition to the 2 color format in version 1 the icon editor now supports a 5 color format (Frame, Header text, Header Back, Body Text, and Body Back). This is the standard frame that many programmers use.

2: In version 2 the last 10 icon color sets are saved in a binary file and are recalled each time the editor is open. These color sets can then be selected and reused.

Version 2.2:

Along with the all the features from version 2.1, version 2.2 has several new features.

1: A new color picker was added. The standard NI color picker has been replaced by one that will only show the legal 221 colors allowed by LabVIEW for icons.

My thanks to Justin Goeres for the idea.

2:Key navigation has improved. The key navigation will only set focus to the text boxes to navigate between boxes use the tab, enter, up and down keys.

My thanks to boone_93 for the idea.

3:Improved UI. The buttons and current and previous icons have been relocated for a more intuitive look. I have also added tip strips to the buttons and history array.

My thanks to ahull for the idea.

4:Random color picker. A random color button has been added to help pick colors.

My thanks to Dave Graybeal for the idea.

5: FP auto centers. The icon editor will now open in the center of the primary display.

My thanks to tcplomp for the code.

6: The ability to read the text in the icon was added. If the icon to be changed was previously created by this icon editor the program will automatically detect the characters in the icon and convert them back into strings. This function allows for small changes like color changes and spelling mistakes to be changed without having to type all the text over.

This one was all mine.

7:Bug with Panel close fixed. When the user presses the x in the upper right corner the editor will shut down gracefully instead of locking up.

I made a avi file that shows some of the new features for Version 2.2 which I posted the support thread.

Version 2.3:

Along with the all the features from version 2.2, version 2.3 has several new features.

1: Icon Sizing and Positioning: Now Icons to be sized smaller than 32x32 by changing the “Rows” and “Width” controls. The icon can then be positioned using the “Position” control. My thanks to tcplomp for the Idea.

2: Static or Auto sizing Icons: If the “Icon Sizing selector is set the Static the icon will only draw the number of row indicated by the “Rows” control. If the selector is set to Auto the icon will adapt to the minimum number of text lines filled in.

3: Selectable Header: The icon header can be removed or enabled by changing the state of the “Header” checkbox.

4: Header and Sizing Information Saved: The header and sizing information are now save in the template files and are displayed at the bottom in the “History” array. The sizing and header settings are shown in the icon text of each template icon the when room allows. The history array now saves the last 50 icon templates to the template file

5: Color Picker Will Save Current Color in History: To get the color picker to save a new color in the color history array click on the “Current Color” box and it will be added the color history.

6: Improved Text Fitting: Text fitting inside the icon has been improved

7: Improved Text Recognition: Text recognition of the icon characters had been improved

8: Other Improvments: all key presses are ignored until the icon is created and text is in the string controls.

Please feel free to give me feedback. This version has benefited greatly from ideas given to me by coworkers and other programmers

Description:

This VI computes the Leventshein distance between two strings.

It is based on the pseudocode found in Wikipedia online:

http://en.wikipedia....shtein_distance

"The Levenshtein distance between two strings is given by the minimum number of

operations needed to transform one string into the other, where an operation is an

insertion, deletion, or substitution of a single character."

It functions by creating a step matrix which is N+1 x M+1, where N and M are the

lengths of the two strings to be compared, and filling in each cell of this matrix

indicating how many steps (insertions, deletions, character substitutions) are required.

The total number of steps to convert one string into the other is given by the last cell

in the matrix.

Author: Jonathon Green

LAVA Name: jgcode

Contact Info: Contact via PM on lavag.org

LabVIEW Versions:

LabVIEW 2009

Dependencies:

No Dependencies

Description:

Contains a Quick Drop Plugin Tool Menu Item which adds a State to a JKI State Machine. This tool will allow you to create either a new state in a section or a complete new section whilst automatically handling the template's syntax. If a new state is selected then it is added after the current visible state and the current section's frame is used as the template frame. If a new section is added it is added after the current visible section and the Core frame is used as the template frame. Correct Syntax (e.g. proper name, single spaces) are forced but can be overriden (e.g. to achieve capitalisation) using a period "." at the end of the text entry.

This package will install the quick drop plugin to LabVIEW\resource\dialog\QuickDrop\plugins and the tool menu item to LabVIEW\project\JGCODE ToolsSupport files are installed at vi.lib\addons\_JGCODE Toolkits\insert_state_into_jki_state_machine. See here to learn more about creating your own keyboard shortcuts using Quick Drop Plugins.

Note: This tool assumes that the template structure of the JKI State Machine will not be altered in any way.

Installation and Instructions:

Install package using VIPM.

*Ensure that the j.vi does not already exist as a quick drop plugin, if so you will have to manual manipulate the install.

If dependencies exist, then install provided .vipc file.

If the VI contains only one JKI State Machine then just run the plugin otherwise, use the mouse to select the case structure you want to manipulate.

Quick Drop:

Press Ctrl + Space to activate Quick Drop on this VI

Enter the name of the State in the Quick Drop Combo Box

Press Ctrl + J to create a new State

Or

Press Ctrl + Shift + J to create a new Section

Tool Menu:

Select the item from the menu

Enter the name of the State and check whether to create a new State or new Section

Press Ok

Undo is supported with the plugin.

File Updated: 29 Aug 2011

Category: LabVIEW IDE

LabVIEW Version: 2009

License Type: BSD (Most common)

This is a version of the LabVIEW 2009 Icon Editor that has several cosmetic improvements (along with some bug fixes).

Feel free to try it.

Note: The installer does backup the existing icon editor that will be restored (if you were to uninstall this version).

Change Log:

Version 1.7:

• [New Feature] Add a condensed pixel font (called: "Pixel Font: PF1") that allow for longer text to be entered.
  
• [bug Fix] Synchronize the "Edit>>Show Terminal" menu with the "Show Terminal" check box.
  
• [bug Fix] CAR 186982: "[iE] Wrong Icon is loaded in Icon Editor".
  

Version 1.6:

• [New Feature] CTRL Key will show the color picker while the text tool is selected.
  
• [bug Fix] Mouse coordinate drawing in icon was off by (3,3) pixels (the picture control edge thickness).
  

Version 1.5:

• [New Feature] Add a "Merge All User Layers" button.
  
• [New Feature] Optimize glyph display by removing unnecessary blank space between glyphs (went from 6x6 grid to 8x8 grid).
  
• [New Feature] Automatically update the "glyph path string" as the mouse move over the glyphs.
  
• [bug fix] Car 183609: Glyph path string is not reset when a glyph is dropped (or when a new category is selected).
  
• [bug Fix] Scrolling the glyph array should not update the glyph path string.
  
• [bug Fix] "Glyph path string" should not be click-able (disable it).
  
• [Change / Bug Fix] Picking white color (255,255,255) result in grayish (246,246,246) color selected. Now the resulting color is (254,254,254).
  

Version 1.4:

• [Cosmetic Change] Major redesign of the layer control visual aspect.
  
• [bug Fix] The text marker (^) is hidden behind other objects.
  
• [bug Fix] CAR 182992 File save (template or glyph) failed if the hierarchy has folder with a dot in its name.
  
• [bug Fix] Flush glyph filter when changing glyph category.
  
• [New Feature] Glyph filter works only on the visible category and does not reset the category to all anymore.
  

Version 1.3:

• [bug Fix] Selection and glyph drop was broken in the original IE.
  
• [bug Fix] If you paste text into an empty line, the icon is not updated.
  
• [bug Fix] If you paste text into an non empty line (while the content is selected) the clipboard content is append to the selected existing content (the existing selected content should be wiped out).
  
• CAR 182828: Manual User Input always cancels even when ok is pressed.
  

Version 1.2:

• [New Feature] This package does stop the IE if it is running prior to installing it.
  
• [New Feature] This package does compiled the IE after installation.
  
• [New Feature] This package does backup the existing Icon Editor prior to install the new one.
  
• [New Feature] This package does restore the previously installed IE upon un-installation.
  
• [New Feature] This package also include the original IE UI in LVrootresourcepluginsOriginal lv_icon.vi (rename it to lv_icon.vi to use it).
  
• [NI Bug Fixes]
  
  • 151661 - This change fixes the copy/cut ability of the icon. If a region is selected and/or a layer is selected, copy and cut is enabled.
    
  • 161032 - No limit on arrow keys moving text
    
  • 175010 - When moving a selection and changing a layer, the operation is performed on the new layer
    
  • 179582 - Glyph layer moves after deleting a selection (first edit to the layer)
    
  • 179799 - If the bottom layer got deleted, the user layers list is not updated properly
    
  • 179392 - Icon editor open on secondary screen when working with two screens
    
  • 179000 - Switching the tab doesn't actually unselect the layer
    
  • 179001 - CTRL - A followed by pressing the delete key doesn't delete all selected layers
    
  • 179007 - The key binding is messed up. The mirror tool has set as the toggle key, whereas the OK button should have to set the focus.
    
  • 179179 - Control activates dropper and not the move tool when pasting an image
    
  • 180161 - It is possible that multiple icon layers are copied in reverse order and neither template nor text layer are considered at all
    
  • 182276 - Icon glyphs do not handle standard transparency
    

Version 1.1:

• UI Reorganization (toolbar on the left among other things) [Note: This required code changed since the existing code was relying on hard coded constants].
  
• Edit the color selector double arrow (/|->) to remove unsightly pixel and add transparency.
  
• Conform to UI design by using system color in the background instead of white.
  
• Add a system frame (from a string control background) to the icon image (instead of the round decoration) [Note: this may not be too great on Mac or Linux]
  
• Hide glyph scrollbars when not needed.
  
• Edit the layer "eye" to use alpha transparency (not so great result as it is, but I think it is better).
  
• Edit the layer preview by adding a system frame around it (from a string control background).
  
• Add a "Show Terminals" check box on the panel for quick access (similar to the previous icon editor).
  
• Change the icon preview so it is rendered in 8-bit (instead of 24-bit).
  

You will need VI Package Manager to install the modified icon editor.
