No problems. I understood from the previous post you were teaching LabVIEW as opposed to using LabVIEW to teach something else.

All clear now. And either way, the community is always ready to help.

Thank you guys very much

The only one im teaching is myself haha with the help of experts like you

I took care of the error and got it to deploy

Lets see if it works, stand by

Thanks for your help! 

Will post results in a minute

I did try to copy the VIM from the example and import it into the RT part of the project

It gave me a conflict that appears to be caused by the fact that LABVIEW knows the file is there but i am telling it to use a different path which is just a copy of it saved to my desktop

I have discoverd what the problem is

This is a CRIO real time application

The Stall Data can not be used on the RT side apparently. 

When i go to my host i can search for the VI and it will come up.

So back to the 20 million dollar question, how do i delay this data flow for a split second on the RT side

I dont how this is possible 

yes im familiar with the quick drop

It was not there for some reason, i dont get it

I have gone to the example folders and found the folder but its not in there

I have 3 basic examples but not a VI with that in it

I am running 2017 pro

Is there anyway you could post it for me.

This might be perfect. 

I dont see it in my labview

Where can i get this?

Thank you so much

Hi

I have a VI that is very complex that i did not write. Needless to say life is difficult right now

I need to do the following. 

The VI outputs a certain enumeration if there is no error.

AKA a complete bit 

However, the complete is happening to fast. I would like to delay the output of this enumeration just by a second

Is there any simple way to do this?

Thanks

Thanks for your help

I will give your suggestions a try

I appreciate your concern. I am not teaching lab view

It is simply a test bench to develop and test different functions. This is just the main place to select different VI's you want to test is all.

Again, i appreciate your help and concerns. I fully agree, im not teaching anyone labview lol im a matlab guy truthfully 

I expect to be able to click on the button on the main. Open the VI and use it ( whatever it does)

Then close the VI and go back to the main menu

It will be a learning tool for students

Each button will demonstrate a different feature of labview

bools, strings, etc etc

ok will do. 

I am new here so how do i post a VI? 

Obviously its different then a text based language? 

Do i just post the VI files

Thanks in advance

Boolean_Test.vi Main.vi

Hi team

I have a task before me and would like to do the following

I have a file path. However, the path has more information in it then needed. In other words, it is drilled down a bit further then i need it to be.

I need to some how strip the first bit of the path and take that information and feed it into the default space for an open file button.

Does anyone have an recommendations on how to complete this task?

Thanks

Maybe post your VI?

Hi There

I posted a picture of it above

Thats all there is

Its just a test right now so its just main.vi and bool.vi

The main is the picture above with the event structure

and the bool.vi is the picture below.

its just a switch tied to an LED

Can anyone lend a hand? I am rather confused as why something so seemingly easy has taken me 12 hours

Obviously i am not doing something properly

I have fixed the event structure by adding the while loop around it

The sub VI still will not run

I can flip the switch but the light will not turn on

You need to disable the 'Lock Panel (Defer Processing of UI) until event completes' option for the event case.

What's happening is that the event structure is locking the UI thread until all code inside of the case completes.

In your case you've got another UI coming up which you need to interact with for the case structure to complete.
A bit of a catch 22.

It might feel wrong that it's happening to you, but there are a variety of good cases that that feature exists and behaves as it does.

More commonly, for what you're trying to accomplish, people will make action loops which might receive a message to start open another panel instead of calling immediately from within the structure.

However that's a more complicated solution and if you're just trying to keep things simple, then just unclick that option and you'll be off to the races.

 

 

Hi

Thank you for your reply

Unfortunately, disabling this feature did not solve the problem

I have added to simple pictures of the "main.vi" and the VI its called. As i said this is a very simple case. 

The bool.VI just simply turns on an LED on its front panel.

I can toggle the switch but the light will not come on when the VI opens

Hello

I am running a few small tests with a type of sudo menu environment

The menu on the "main VI" has several bool buttons tied to an event structure

Inside of each event it simply calls the sub vi. The sub vi's are setup to open the front panel when called.

However, when the front panel of the sub VI opens and i try to use the functionality of the SUB VI i can hit buttons on the front panel but the action will not complete.

Obviously there is an issue with the sub vi's execution. Anyone can help me out with ideas? 

Thanks
