Re: creating and scrolling multiple histograms

2004-06-03 Thread Joel Andersen
I'm not sure if this will work for you or not, but this is what I thought of when I read your post... You can't look at 100 histogram simultaneously. You can probably only fit 4 or 5 on a front panel (without using tab a control, and I recomend NOT using the tab control), so I would try to work w

Use a Call By Reference node to pass the data directly to the dynamic VI. There is a great shipping exaple that illustrates how to use the call by reference node. Launch the example finder >> go to the Search tab >> type in call by reference >> click the Call By Refernce Nodes text that apperas i

go to Paint (or your favorite drawing program) select and copy the image (this puts the image onto the clipboard), go to labview and paste the picture on the front panel. You can also attach an image to a control (like a button) by right clicking the fP object, selecting Advanced >> Customize, and

either build a Waveform (using the Build Waveform VIs) and supply the initial time, and delta T. Or use the waveform Graph, and a bundle to supply the array of data with a initial time, and the delta T. LabVIEW ships with an example called Waveform Graph that illustrates the various ways to trans

try to generate an HTML report first, and then print that. Some printers are worse than other at printing (what looks like) a simple object. Otherwise, I would do some basic trouble shooting, like can you print a simpler front panel image (say two numerics) to the printer. Next, I would try to p

Re: array to database

2004-05-19 Thread Joel Andersen
when putting arrays into a DB, you should define the column to be "image data". (I'm sorry but I forgot the word that the DB people use, it's not image data, but I think it is similar...). Since an image is a 2D array, that data type works perfect for arrays of data. It will let you insert the en

Re: string input to CIN is missing?

CINs are a pain. Whenever possible, use a Call Library Function (CLF) instead. Things will go much smoother for you. If you have LV 7.0, there is a shipping example called "Call DLL.vi" in the \examples\dll\data passing\Call Native Code.llb. This example is an excellent resourse, and should add

If you are performing any sort of mathermatical analysis, then you should upgrade your base version of LabVIEW to either full or professional. The extra cost for the upgrade will be paid for as soon as you call the Sinewaveform VI you mentioned. In addition to function generation, you will get an

the LV team made this drop dead simple in LabVIEw 7.0 by intgrating your VI and the command line. If you ahve LV 7.0, open the example called "CommandLine.vi" to see how it works. If you don't have LV 7, then I recommend that you look at the evaluation version just for this feature. The eval is

do you have any more specifics on the issue? What version of LV, what are you doing when the crash occurs (running a VI or editting), can you reproduce it, etc. Also, is there anything else reported with the crash, (error number, line number, module, .cpp file name, etc).

you should read in the file first. From the Read File VI, you now have (for example) an orange wire representing an array of doubles. Now take the new data you want to plot, and do a Build Array with the old data (read from the file) and then wire the built arrays into a graph. Somethings to keep
