i2dx Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I just stumbled uppon that: create a blank VI in LV 8 with a Disable Structure in the BD and save it to LV 7.1. Open it with LV 7.1 and "voila" - there it is. then you can copy it to the places in the BD where you need it. there are two drawbacks: - no help - if you have buggy code inside the disable structure it will NOT be ignored unlike to LV 8 (--> broken RUN arrow)... while playing around with the "new feature" I stumbled uppon a totaly strange thing: ehm ... although this entry was in my right click menu - maybe since years, I recognized that just a few minutes ago. The LV help is not realy detailed, but it gives you a hint, that it has something to do with FileIO ... What is this? How is it used and what is it good for? Has anyone ever used this feature? By the way: where again is that setting, that an dropped sub-vi is expanded? Quote Link to comment
rafa Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 This feature is not new in LV. This is used for datalog a Front Panel since other VI, see Logging Front Panel Data at NI web site. Quote Link to comment
i2dx Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 hey, cool! thanks a lot. Can this be used for debugging, too, eg. on RT Systems? Quote Link to comment
Ton Plomp Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Sorry Id2x, i've stumbled upon this earlier. You could select it with the FPGA-toolkit. Ton Quote Link to comment
Yair Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 The diagram disable structure has actually been around since at least 7.0 and could be created by using the New VI Object primitive (scripting only) which comes ready with an enum of all the possible objects. Quote Link to comment
nudalakasim Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 By the way: where again is that setting, that an dropped sub-vi is expanded? Hi i2dx, If I got it right, you can go to Tools>advanced> Edit palette Set and right click on the VI icon,that needs to be "expanded" when dropped, and select the 'Merge VI' option.
