Name: CaseSelect Submitter: jcarmody Submitted: 08 Aug 2009 File Updated: 03 Jan 2011 Category: JKI Right-Click Framework Plugins LabVIEW Version: 8.2 License Type: BSD (Most common) Copyright @ 2010, Jim Carmody All rights reserved. Author: Jim Carmody jim@jamescarmody.com 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) New in 2.0.1 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 The original discussion of this can be found here. Click here to download this file

Use the "Date/Time to Seconds" to convert 1/1/1970 to a LV time stamp (seconds from 1/1/1904) Then add the seconds returned from your hardware to this value to give you the LV time stamp for the harware. The native LV time stamp for the harware can now be used as an input to the "Format Date/Time String" function etc.
