I have seen this for a few times already, this time i would like to report this error:

A topic has 0 view(s) but has many replies, please check the site's topic views calculation.

Must has something to do with the OLD topic(s)

as shown in the screen capture

This bring me back to the primary school time We had so many of these pics and challenged each others to see who is the fastest to see the embedded 3d image.

Nice Shark! ShaunR.

you can not create a 3d image out of 2d image without the information/rules/function/calculation/values of the third dimension.

cant complaint

I would query the system fonts and use the most common one for the controls/indicators.

I found this which might helps

systemfontsPlay.vi

it's under My Computer.

It is a strange a problem. To solve this issue, after the build we went to the <application>.ini file and change the WebServer.Enable=False and it works.

Somehow this configuration is TRUE after the build.

I never have any real time target and such in all of my projects before.

Anyone seen this before? Please explain what is in the red circle.

Im having a problem: webserver can not start after running my exe

After many builds I found that It is come down to one little vi that i used: Inverse matrix as shown in the attachments.

If i open this vi for the first time it shows: localhost as shown

then i close it, reopen the vi again and it is now changed to: my project/My Computer as shown

I dont understand, can you explain? This is the main cause of the error that i have as attached.

(i know this because if i remove this vi, my exe runs fine!)

Please describe how you are going to solve the major problem by breaking it down to smaller problems (module level) and which one you are struggling with, what did you try so far, any code/example/model you want to post here so we can help.

I have tried the code in LV2012, it seems to be abit better.

If you dont want the uses of the control on top of the chart, there is another solution is to use the invoke node: forceRedraw inside the loop.

Attached is a small VI that generates 4 sinewaves and plots them in two equally configured WfmCharts.

ChartUpdateProblem.vi

The WfmCharts is configured as

• Scope update mode
  
• All plots have thicker lines to make the problem more visible
  
• Plot1 and Plot 2 are anti-aliased
  

In this case the Stop button overlays the plot area in the upper WfmChart.

Run the VI and notice the difference in the lines in the upper and lower WfmCharts. The upper chart should have somewhat jagged lines, and if you run the VI for a while you might even get to see this ;-)

Pressing the stop button forces LabVIEW to redraw the upper chart.

If you move the stop button outside the plot area, the problem dissapears, but the same problem can be seen if you move the plot legend inside the plot area.

Could you please save the vi as 2010 version, thanks

Congrats.

Please share some experience eg. studying content, easy bits and hard bits of the exam.

Cheers,

We can definately calculate the boundary of an tab label area based on the tab.top and tab.left location plus the tab label width and height. Just abit of simple math, we can specify the area of the right mouse click either it is within the tab label or not.

Here is an example on how i can work out the right click is on the tab1 label or not.

RightClickOnTabEvent.vi

i havent seen any problem for this test, but i havent seen any antifacts just yet. Can you make an example and show us the issue so we can work on to solve the antifacts problem.

Thanks

Dont think it is the end of the world though. I suggest to use a little trick to display your cursors on the chart:

1. Create your chart as normal

2. Create a graph, then create cursors as normal.

3. Use the color tool to make the Graph border and its grids to transparent color.

4. Untick all the visible items for X scale and Y scale, so that you only see the cursors.

5. Move the transparent graph on top of the chart, adjust the cursors to your desired positions.

6. Enjoy watching the chart updating with the fixed cursors.

Hope this is what you are after.

Pics attached to demonstrate the idea.

Not fully understand what do you want but I guess you want something like this (attachment) for your graph.

Basically i am displaying 2 traces on the XY graph as shown in the attachment. (The red color is always displaying the live data, the yellow color trace is the previous trace.)

You can modify the concept to suit your requirements.

We always working with 2 monitors for our LabVIEW development. Normally we have 1 standard size monitor (19 inches) to build our front panels since our apps will normally be running on this size in the manufacturing and production rigs, and 1 bigger size mornitor (22-23 inches) for block diagram/coding/debugging...purposes. Much easiser to work with 2 screens side by side, nothing to complain at all

Bonus point for ShaunR for the intended infinite while loop to distract people from the main point

Not fully understand what you are trying to ask but I guess you want to see when you can use the Boolean value change AND the mouse down at the same time, right. Since normally you click the control to fire a value change event for that button which means value change AND mouse down already. So what is the Boolean value change AND mouse down you can use for???? is the question.

I have create an example on what you can do with it.

The 1st Boolean button has the value change event: as you can see from the example, the string indicator doesnt clear after you clicked the button

The 2nd Boolean button (Boolean 2) has the value change AND mouse down, the string indicator shows the text WHILE you hold the button and clear it straight away after you release it.

Hope this is what you are after.

booleanandclick.vi

dont agree, what if you have already passed CLAD before, however it is expired. Do you need to do it again before taking the CLD? Considering you are still active in the field and using LabVIEW everyday. I think it is just Money craving

I want one too LOL

you can either create an interface (a popup VI for example) for this purpose or just add a custom command string control somewhere on you GUI for user to type in.

Then add an event case for this value change, send the command to the instrument and display it on a string indicator. Pretty much what you have done, just add a few extra code.

I did recompile and the error is still there. I tried to copy that while loop into a blank VI, ran, and confirmed it work. Then I delete the case in my main VI, and build the case. Copy back the while loop, and error still happens.

I have just tried to remove the -1 block from inside the while loop to outside the while loop and it works now. I am lucky that I don't have to rebuild the whole VI.

I sent the VI to NI already.

This is starting to freaking me out

Another method is you can overlay a boolean array (flat square classic buttons work best) where the booleans are transparent except for the true state border colour. Then you just use the number to boolean array primitive to set one or more booleans "True" for the value or values you want to highlight in the main array. This will create a border around the value. But if you move it behind your array and make your array transparent, you can also make the boolean array "True" state bg coloured and it will look like you changed the background.

Nice workaround mate.

I normally use ARRAY of CLUSTERs to do this purpose as you can access each cluster element (contains 2 controls/indicators that you can change the

colour property). here is the result:

Divide the size of both images on each other, use the minimum of the X and Y quotient to resize the bigger image in the image control.

and use the Scale factor property node of the picture to do this

Last Tuesday I learned my contract was going to end on Friday, so I lined up a LV dev position with another group that I was supposed to start today. On the way in to work this morning I checked my voice mail to discover the person who was planning on leaving (thus opening the position for me) decided to stay (thus closing the position to me.) Not exactly the kind of news that kicks off a great week.

Here's hoping the economy picks up soon...

Try knocking NI's Door ! They always welcome people like you
