Cant win the 'smart' computer, damn

Yes, from what Ive read I think its a complete PC capable of running drivers and communicating through its USB.    As you say the limitation will be its power but for simple applications it should work as Labview in your pocket!!!  

 

LabVIEW on a Stick!

LabStick

how do i get one of this

Please go through the properties of this Waveform Graph (object), you will find many other stuff that you can customize as well.

Interesting to see you implemented the actor framwork to this example. Looks great, i have a very quick try and go through the code. Only found 1 issue:

-Error handling for the user input, when deposit if user input a text instead of number, an error 85 is generated. The problem is that you wired theerror to the input of the "Error cluster from Error Code" vi in the UI.lvclass:Enter Pressed.vi within the Deposit Amount case, so this vi can not execute as you wanted.

you can start with the Vision assistant, and please playing with the OCR stuff through there. When you are familiar with the all the features, you can start exporting/building LabVIEW code from the Vision Assistant

What do you want to obtain from that image?

Please describe your requirements

Hi, just wonder if there is anyone here has work with *.tps file before. Can we convert the file to be used within LabVIEW.

Attached is the PARTS.txt file --> Please rename the file to PARTS.tps as i could not upload tps file so I changed the extension to *.txt for uploading purpose.

PARTS.txt

Is this device from MicroEpsilon? there is an instrument driver for it in LabVIEW i think:

The scanCONTROL LabVIEW instrument driver

supports the rapid integration of the profile sensors

in the National Instruments’ LabVIEW®

programming environment. Access to scan-

CONTROL sensors and their basic settings is

depicted in individual modules that can be directly

integrated in your own VIs using the software

functions. Example VIs also form part of

the integration process.

The integration of scanCONTROL sensors

in the LabVIEW programming environment

is based on the C/C++ library “LLT.dll” from

Micro-Epsilon. The extensive documentation

explains how its additional special sensor parameters

can be set up.

- Meets the National Instruments guidelines

for LabVIEW instrument drivers

- Supports LabVIEW 8.6 and higher

- Easy access to a range of functions via

function palette

- Support for the FireWire and Ethernet

interface

- Example VIs, inc. single profile transfer and

container mode

Software for scanner integration

The examples contained in the SDK also

demonstrate how the different interfaces (serial,

FireWire, and Ethernet) can be effectively

configured

oh crap, how do i edit my typo?

I saved this as 2010 as attached

This is nothing special Stobber

MouseClick.vi

Sorry, i dont look at NI developer zone. The solution there is ok but doesnt work for clone vis as mentioned.

I prefer a native LabVIEW function for this purpose. Im very surprise that this is still not available after 5 years of playing with LabVIEW

I will vote to push this feature forward. Thanks Yair 

There is an interesting thread here: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/811621

Please use Symbio's GOOP, problem solved

Have you ever being frustrated by getting your project stuck after you running it and realized that you forgot to close one (or few) of your model style subvi(s) (which show front panel when called) ?

You can not do anything on your main front panel as the model vi is in front of everything and you can not stop it either! All you can do is to kill LabVIEW and re-open the project. 

I believe that LabVIEW should has an option to stop anything, anywhere,anytime when you are in the development environment. This has always been an issue since I started using LabVIEW. Please add a method to the next version of LabVIEW such that developers can stop thing like this from happening.    

Just wonder if there is anyone here had already worked with MYOB database before. Please suggest some hints and tips.

Many thanks

I would like to integrate a tool bar in my application, but can't find any to download or to buy. Is there any XControl like the tool bar in VIPM and other tools from JKI?

 

Putting buttons in a part of a splitted panel is not the solution.. Building own XControl would take too much time to make it properly.

Do you really need to create an XControl for this purpose.

Even if you have to it shouldnt take you much time i think

I save as previous version here as LV8.6

MultiColumnwithURL.vi

Darren,

The API will work for all the icons that created by the API only. But it is a pretty good starting point for many people I guess.

Within the LabVIEW Icon API, there is an useful function: Read Icon Data from VI, this will return a cluster of the Icon Data which has stuff like: Body Text (line 1 text, line 2 text ....) font size, font alignment and such.

Attached is an example I made to show this.

However, this will not work if the icon created by a different API/software eg. MikaelH's GOOP tool or paint or photoshop...If this is the case, we have to use an OCR method to get the texts from the icon.

It would be nice if MikaelH'sGoop uses the same type def (or just the Body Text part of the LabVIEW Icon API's Icon typedef) when generating the text field on the Icon, that way MikaelH's GOOP Tool can have access to the Text fields hence modifying/getting/setting of the texts can be unified between his tool and LabVIEW native Icon editor.

Might be in the next release of GOOP? any thought Mikael? 

IconStuff.vi

Darren, Im pretty sure the questioner is after a way to programatically get the text field and modify it

Sounds great, how do i get access to the VI's meta-data to get the right tag(s) for all the text within the icon. This is the proper way to modify the text

OCR should be just fine (required vision dev module)

or you can also use a 3rd party or open source  OCR tool which accepts image (icon) as an input and spit out all the characters it finds (normally in a *.dll format - eg. ActiveX or .Net component)

This is a quick example to show you how I do it.

Left click on the 3rd column to enter an URL

Right click on the link after you created to Launch it on your default web browser

This is just a quick example, you have to do more to taylor it to your requirements

MultiColumnwithURL.vi

This VI shows you all the related event(s) and properties when a single/double mouse clicked (either left or right button).

The file is in LV2012 format

MouseClick.vi

I reckon 1GB of RAM is pretty good for a whole bunch of apps to be written on this developer kit.

Also come with the 16GB USB MemStick

What is the price? 

We have used AutoIT to test LabVIEW app. Personally I think it is very good

Scripting is easy to learn, you can definately can create an automated test routine within the 1st hour playing with the tool for sure.

Have fun
