Report Seeking Advice on Multiple Screen GUI with Constant Control in User Interface Posted May 20, 2010 QUOTE(tcplomp @ Jul 3 2007, 02:06 AM) Unfortunately, this is an application that will be run on LabVIEW FDS. QUOTE(Eugen Graf @ Jul 3 2007, 04:39 AM) [/url] I would run all GUI-SubVIs in separately window. No Tabs, No SubPanels. The user have the choice what he want to see, can hide, resize ... If you have SubPanel or Tab you will show "only one" Page or SubVI on the same time. If you use multi windowing, you can show more things on the same time plus it's selectable by user. Eugen An example is here in chapter 12 (one of my projects) http://www.imar-navi...t-f200_docu.pdf As a feature of the application, I want the operator to view only a single screen at a time, but I appreciate your approach in other instances. Thus, I am leaning towards using sub-panels which would create a scalable approach... There are a few "gotchas" to the sub-panel approach that I see: 1. I need to constanly run data acqusition and control (PID loops) in some "main" vi. I could do this in a few ways: a. Run a "hidden VI" continuously in the background b. Run a parallel while loop in the "main screen" 2. I have some charts on a screen in which I want to maintain a "history" of the last 5-10 minutes of data. I see two options here: a. Maintain a circular buffer of data for each chart b. Load the chart VIs with the main VI, but show/hide them and continuosly populate them with data Please give me any advice you can think of, I appreciate all of the knowledge!
