Hello as Kevin P already said, you can use M-Series HW There are also some with USB. I use the USB-6259 for a Inclinometer test bench... Download File:post-1396-1164349188.pdf

If you are using a RT Target, the way with the Event-structure doesn't work. Therefore you can do this also with the Timed-loop. => configure the timed loop to 1000ms iteration time => give your timed loop a meaningful name => you can abort the timed loop with the stop Timed Loop structure...

Thanks but you wouldn't say that if you saw the diagram... For me programming LabVIEW application and "nonsens applications" http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?showtopi...entry4845 and "playing arround with LabVIEW is fun! As well as sometimes work of course... Thanks Nice Idea we could start a 3D LAVA thread or someting...

Download File:post-1396-1164192597.wmv Thanks! I don't really know how long... First it took a while before I understood the behaviour of the 3D Picture Control... including things like Parent - Child behaviour, Transformations, joint etc... Then the real programing part lets tell about 1-2 days... But the code is a mess, its my biggest diagramm I have ever "painted" since it was / is only a test to see what you can do with the 3d Control... and there are currently no subvis used and you need aprox. 15*10cm to define a single element... so you can imagine but if I will realy use this program it has to fit to one screen 1280*1024 (not someting like a 60" screen like now)... What kind of demo? In a week we putting the system into operation... The mechanic part is arround 15years old an we are "just" changing the control System (New RT-PXI, SW, Encoders...) If you realy want to see a demo you can visit our Wind Tunnel in Switzerland. That's usually no problem... I just took a free 3d-model from the www... and I didn't realy cared about the wings... now I have more 3d models, but I was to lazy to import another 3d model (with wings) and to make another movie...

Hello I do have no clue about the 5th dimension But I played arround with LabVIEW and at leat 3 Dimensions (3d picture control) works fine The movie shows a vi created with the 3d picture control... It's a part of the control system of our Wind Tunnel that I am currently programing... Download File:post-1396-1164192597.wmv

Hello It doesn't work any more :headbang: since I played around with the Methode Node (Resize, Add Output, Remove Output) But I don't now why, it's strange. But I am still able to select the elements in the Main Cluster (Sub 1 and Sub 2) when I then add a second unbundler to Sub 1 or to Sub 2 I am also able to select A or B. But I can't anymor directly a "Subcluster"..

Hello it does Work!?! You can easy change the number of unbundle Elements and you can easy change their values (if they are maching to the "default" cluster) :beer:

Hello Michael Thanks for your suggestions. Update: Following suggestions are implemented and the bug with the tree control is solved (Version 1.7) * During navigation of the tree I got a pop-up error. I forgot to get a screen capture. The message said something about not being able to find the file: VI Path: \\windy1\wsw\LabVIEW\SW\Projekte\DIVERSES\ICON-Editor\SERVER-ICON-Editor.vi * During text entry, there is no limit of the body fields. This causes the Icon to compress when too much text is entered. I recommend an autocalculation and a text entry hardstop if too long. Attached Image * When editing thr VI description, it would be nice to be able to resize the window. * When editing thr VI description, it would be nice to have a button that when you select a group of text you click a button "Bold" and it would wrap the text in <B></B> tags automatically. *When I click load directory, the second time, it doesn't remember my previous folder I navigated too. It would be nice if it took me to where I was before. => In our company we call the Icon editor over a vi-server call (SERVER-ICON-Editor.vi) from another vi from "TOOLS" so I can modify and update the ICON-Editor and I don't need to distribute it to all developers (Windows & Linux). Because of that, I don't like to save the last path, since it is not useful for us. =>When I start the ICON Editor, the "startfolder" is always the folder where I have saved the last new vi. I think this is very useful because you usually have to edit only new Vi-ICONS... =>But I could implement a "LAVA Edition"... *The Reload old Icon does not work if you edit the icon, save it then doubleclick the VI to open it. You cannot reload old icon anymore. It's gone? => The reload old Icon works only as long as you don't click again in the tree control... *It would be nice to have the ability to apply the colorset to a group of VI's at once. =>Maybe in future... =>another thing for future is an option to copy a part of an ICON (Header /Body) and paste it to the current vi... cheers :beer:

Hello all LabVIEW will crash if a table is disabled or disabled/grayed and you are using the mouse-wheel over this table... (just try it out with the attached vi) But save your work bevore you try it out... Fixed in LabVIEW 8.20.... LabVIEW is great isn't it? Download File:post-1396-1162306423.vi

Hello Dan You can also download a newer version of "my" RUAG Icon Editor from http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?automodu...amp;showfile=35 Now you can Edit the Icons from *.vi, *.vit, *.ctl even if they are in a *.llb. Furthermore you can choose between diffrent color-sets. Martin

Hy Michael Maby there is a way to solve this Problem... In some of the LabVIEW 8 Beta versions the property diagram reference still sems to works. We have just to find out why..

Hy Barrie, you are almost right! :thumbup: I am using a notebook with 1440*900 screen, and a second (extended) screen with 1280*1024 our GUI standard...) But usually a nice block diagram is always 1280*1024... Of course scripting is not standard. Cheers! :beer:

Hello, Just have a look at the following example.. It's the german LabVIEW, however, open the vi's... (you should relink the TAB.vi to the get_tab.vi and don't forget to close the references...) Download File:post-1396-1117528663.zip

Hello Tony, With this option (Have a look at the jpeg) you can also create invisible, (unerasable) Labels. You can delete those (invisible) labels only by scripting, if they are directly on the diagram... It is also possible to read from and write etc. to the Labels. Martin

Hy Mads, I played around with the event structure this weekend. I tried to find out, which vi NI uses to configure the event-case. (I am still searching). All I saw is, that you can directly create different event cases with the Number of Reference Frame Index. LabVIEW UI events (0); ActiveX events (1); Userevents (25); others(?).

Hello I am using the System Exec.vi to send dos commands. This vi also get's back the content of the dos window.... Example: You could use the ping command. When the dos window close you will get back the dos window content as a string (If you wait until completion) However, this works not if you want to poll an existing dos window... (Maybe there is a work around)

Hello Michael If you just double click the sub Vi and then press ctr-e you will loose every time less than a half second before you see the sub VI's diagram... Is this really to slow? But maybe we find a scripting way... Martin

Hello David I think your example is very useful . However I took your example and made a few modifications... Now we have a moving "dancing" Vi... Happy Scripting Martin Download File:post-1396-1117002119.vi
