I wouldn't be surprised if you took the same path

Yen & njkirchner,

Thanks for your reply. I did follow the post suggested by njkirchner and my sample VI is almost similar to Yen's VI.

I want some 3D effects on the timer. I thought, some tricks with overlapping existing circle over Dial Indicator (show/hide/transparent) approach will do it. But, the Dial Indicator START position cannot be changed :headbang: . Hence, I am still trying.

Thanks anyways.

Guys,

I am looking for a circular timer (something like PIE chart) which will indicate the TIME LEFT by filling up the area of circle.

Attached VI is my first attempt to do it. I am not familiar with XControl and not intending to go that way either.

Any better ideas , examples will be appreciated.

Regards,

Ashish

NB: My application is not too time critical hence I can afford couple of seconds in generating the effects.

Since I'm just using LabVIEW, I still did not know "Ring/Enumeration" before...

Hi,

I have modified my previous example and used ENUM instead of Combo.

You can moify ENUM values by right click menu options. Also, you can pass different values than ENUM using Case Structure.

I hope that helps.

Most of our software is done in C#, or VB. We have been branching out doing LabView Development for some customers as needed.

Welcome.

While I am still not "expert" in LabVIEW, I remember my initial days of struggle with it. I came with a little background in C, C++ and had hard time to NOT think in C.

But, once I overcame that.....I never feel like touching C or any other programming language again.

I bet you will like it here...specially "here".

However, to be more user-friendly, I need to replace some of the buttons with ComboBox and Toggle Switch, since these controls are different from buttons, I did not know how to implement them...

Pockey,

I made a VI based on what I understood from your message. I hope that helps.

Basically, you can use event structure for any kind of controls...buttons...combo box..etc. Check out the VI.

Regards,

Ashish

jdbeam,

You should start ur driver search from NI Drivers and Updates

All the best with ur project.

... am working at JKI (www.jameskring.com, www.jkisoft.com) with some of the best LabVIEW programmers you could hope to work with! I've been meaning to get involved with LAVA for several years and ended up just not going it for it.

Congratulations on getting opportunity to work for JKI. It is like a POWER HOUSE of LabVIEW programmers.

It appears you have to "recreate" your repository to get this benifit.

Do you know if "recreation" looses history of the repository?

Best way to start is www.ni.com. Best way is to look and examples --> Help >> Find Examples on menu bar. If you do not have LabVIEW, get an evaluation copy from www.ni.com.

I was personally benefited from NI Examples and LAVA forum. I keep going through various examples and forum questions and try it in LabVIEW. LabVIEW for Everyone is a good book to go through (if you can get hold of one).

I hope that helps. :thumbup:

LabVIEW Certification will certainly add up to your resume. Also, it will assure the employer of your LabVIEW skills. The whole purpose of CLAD is for beginners in LabVIEW to get in real world.

It will help you enter the market although you should not depend on it much!

All the best. :thumbup:

I am not sure if you have tried NI Example Finder. You will find examples on importing and exporting waveform data in there: Help >> Find Examples

In the NI Example Finder Window: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output
