    ----------------------------------------

    Description:

    ----------------------------------------

    This project is a technology preview of a simple gauge LabVIEW XControl limited in features and visual aspect.

    The XControl is based on a C wrapper on our Graphical Instruments Solution (GIS).

    GIS is a set of instruments currently in development (Buttons, LEDs, Gauges, Knobs, Sliders, LCDs, Switches, Tanks, Thermometers, ...) with the following main features:

    - C++ library based on Qt framework

    - Multiplatform (Mac, Linux, Windows)

    - Skin system based on SVG and XML to customize the appearance of each instrument

    - Property system to customize the behaviour of each instrument

    - Double license: Open source and commercial

    ---------------------------------------

    Aim:

    ----------------------------------------

    The purpose of this technology preview is to see if such a library of XControls could be usefull and to get feedbacks from LabVIEW users community.

    ---------------------------------------

    Usage:

    ----------------------------------------

    Windows

    1. Copy mingwm10.dll, QtCore4.dll, QtGui4.dll and QtSvg4.dll into your LabVIEW installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6)

    2. Open the project

    3. Run the demo.vi

    Linux and Mac

    Not yet available. If you are interested in a Linux or Mac version please contact us.

    ---------------------------------------

    Known issues:

    ----------------------------------------

    - Performance issue when the value change rate is too fast. This will introduce a desynchronization between the current value and the displayed value.

    This is due to the XControl architecture that stacks data changed events. See http://forums.lavag.org/XControl-DataChanged-events-stacking-t13459.html for more details.

    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.

    The inspiration for this VI came from a popular web javascript image viewer that darkens the background and popups a box in the current browswer window. This is also a great concept for a user interface that forces the user's attention onto what you want them to see.

    Summary & Features:

    • Uses a tab control and a cluster with a constant, semi-transparent PNG image to display inline poup box
    • Uses any type and number of controls you place in the tab control
    • Dynamically sizes and recenters to fill up the front panel window
    • Stops execution and removes popup from view when specified controls reaches a desired value
    • Returns the values of all controls on the page being displayed
    Planned Future Revisions
    • Selectable color for overlay
    • Popup effects

    This is my first submission! Enjoy! biggrin.gif

    Instructions:

    1. Put these two controls anywhere on the FP of the VI you will use them in. Both the tab control and the overlay are automatically sized to fit and centered within the FP window bounds.

    2. Rename the controls to whatever you would like. The default names are "Popup" for the tab control and "Overlay" for the overlay cluster. Don't forget to hide the labels on these controls and to hide the tabs on tab control.

    3. Add pages to the tab control and add your own controls inside each page. You can place as many as you need.

    4. To use popup, call this VI. Wire in the references to the tab control and overlay cluster. Selectively show which tab you want the user to see with the "Tab to Show" string control. Use the controls on the tab control as normal.

    5. You can handle control value changes either with a event structure or let this VI stop executing when a control reaches a certain value. For the latter, wire "Control to Wait For" cluster witht he reference of the control you are waiting for and the desired value. This VI uses an event structure with a 50ms timeout to wait for the control value change and then returns an array of all controls on the page specified in "Page to Show."

    6. If you do not wire "Control to Wait For" cluster, you must use the "In-Window Popup Destroy.vi" to remove the popup.

  9. I wrote an continious digest version of the MD5 OpenG routine.

    You can download the source from sourceforge.

    Look for Continous MD5 inside the public folder.

    I am interested in how this one goes in your benchmark.

    Hmm, somehow I cannot upload...

  10. QUOTE (jlokanis @ Jun 9 2009, 08:52 PM)

    Does anyone know how to have the OpenG builder include just some of the VIs from vi.lib that a particular VI has dependencies on? I don't want to include everything from vi.lib in my LLB distribution or it will be huge.

    thanks for any ideas.

    -John

    So you know which VIs are troublesome (from trial and error), what you could do is build an additional library with just these VIs placed inside a container VI (similar to an 'old' tree VI), and load this container VI into memory of your RTE, I am not sure if this will work since it might require a recompile of the library VIs.

    Another option is to exclude the vi.lib but have a call-back VI loaded with OpenG builder that includes the troublesome VIs into your distro.

    My advice is to open up the builder sourcecode and see which specific call-back VI you need.

  11. Based on LabVIEW scripting I have started a 'Polymorphic VI Editor', the changes from the NI one will be:

    • A tree interface to the selector menu to easier build a good menu structure
    • Drag and drop support inside the selector menu tree
    • Drag and drop of an external VI onto an 'Add' button
    • Creation of new polymorphic VIs
    • Opening up of existing polymorphic VIs

    Is anyone interested in helping out? PM me.

    The source code will be hosted on the LAVAG Code repository at Google Code and the product will be released onto the LAVA CR.

    Try using a Case Structure...if the reset button is pressed, wire an empty string to the display (and into your feedback node). Otherwise wire in the string you're keeping in the feedback node.

    -D

    Thanks alot

    After years of lobbying, National Instruments has now released scripting as a tool that our users are allowed to use. The Windows license and support files are now available for download from the above link. Mac and Linux download will be posted next week.

    For those who are wondering, "What do we need to download on Mac/Linux since there's no licensing required?" ... there's a .zip file of useful information and instructions that will be posted.

    Thanks a lot- But why you didn't included your help files? :question:

  14. QUOTE (David Wisti @ May 30 2009, 05:04 PM)

    Now that scripting is legal, should it be moved out of Rusty Nails?

    Well legal and supported are two very different things...

    I think we still will see the occasional crash when we 'script'.

    Shouldn't we come up with a better name than script?

    Meta-Programming for instance?

    Yes I can understand, but now if I look at my RSS reader, it is quite annoying.

    Strange how such little things distract you.

    QUOTE (Aristos Queue @ May 30 2009, 04:04 AM)

    Opening up the project integration to just two non-NI groups has produced maintenance headaches. There is no interest at all from the NI side in maintaining binary compatibility of project plugins across versions of
    LV
    .

    OK, what have JKI and Endevo (I assume you mean those two) done?
