Launch LV7, make a new blank VI. Place an "OK" button and a decoration (a triangle, in my test). Select the decoration and ctrl-C to copy. Edit the "OK" button and import the triangle from the clipboard as a decal. Labview gives a failure message and dies. Reported using the "investigate now" opti

Hi, First Thanks to everyone for replying to my previous post for GPIBs. I found the subVIs required for communication with the Keithley 237 and also HP Agilent 34401A and started communicating. While reading from the HP multimeter I sometimes get error messages. This does not come always. The sy

Event structures in sub VIs

2004-03-21 Thread Craig Graham
I've done a bit of code that lets the user drag a frameless VI about the screen by clicking+dragging on the inert parts of the panel. It's a fairly big and self contained while loop that would be better off in a sub-VI, but I can't figure out how to register the event structure in the sub-VI for ev

Getting started - help with general concepts?

Dear Group, Please can anyone tell me roughly how to achieve the following, before I obtain LabView: We have a GPIB instrument that takes many measurements; we need to create an automated test routine using it. I'm assuming it's easy enough to set up 2-way comms between our PC and the instrument.

Thanks, Rolf. I thought about trying an iteration on "callees" so that the scheme would work even if more functionality (and thus more subVIs) were added. (I got caught first by Simple Error Handler calling General Error Handler.) Originally, I had hoped to avoid subVIs entirely, but I managed

Serial instrument simulation of data

Hi I have been working with a vi witch connects to a serial port and reads load and displacement, how can I simulate the type of data I would normally be receiving , so that I can test everything thoroughly, without actually connecting to the instrument at work. There is a peak load detection and

LabVIEWers, GhostBuster.vi has been fixed to run on all versions of LabVIEW from 6 through 7. If you have the version that uses Simple Error Handler.vi, please download the revised version from http://www.SULLutions.com/LabVIEW.html. GhostBuster still does not detect minimized VIs. If anyone c
