Case Statements

2004-06-14 Thread Kura
I'm working on a program and have a problem with a case statement. I have a tunnel spitting data out of case 1, but the program refuses to compile because I don't have any data exiting the tunnel for case 0. But the thing is, I'm building an array, and don't want anything from case 0 added to the a

Reusable Code

I am writing a program in which I need a lot of buttons to appear and dissappear at certain times. Namely, I need about 80 to 100 items to become invisible every time one of about 20 buttons on my front panel is pressed. I'd prefer to find a way to do this without having to make 20 copies of the 80

File-saving extensions

Hello, I'm trying to program my vi so that the data the vi generates is saved to a file. I've gotten that far, but I want the user to be able to select where they want to save the file and what they want to name it. However, I need to force them to use .hdr as the extension. Is there anyway to do t

As it turns out the problem was the MEAS command isn't what I thought it was. So I was able to fix that problem. The clock wait itself I removed from the program as it was just a debugging method. I am still getting a weird reading error though were for some reason the gpib card will return a strin

I want only one person at a time to be able to control it, and its fine for people to see the panel's image, but I'd prefer for them to not be able to see what the other students are doing with the panel. Currently only one person can control the panel remotely, but everyone that's waiting in line

This is going to seem like quite a bizarre question, but I'm trying to learn some rather advanced (Well I think they're advanced anyway LOL) uses of labview so that I can help make some programs to be used with an educational class. I've learned how to make a remote panel and how to access it from

Okay, so I finally figured out how to make a remote panel, but now how do I access it? I'm not really sure how to find the file from another computer. I already saved it into the www root directory thing through the web publication tool. Also, when I access the page manually from the computer I mad

I had a somewhat similar problem recently with an MM2000 Motion Controller. It even showed up on the NI GPIB Communicator list but wouldn't talk to me at all. I went over to the instrument panel and accessed the gpib address setting on it and saw that it was still set correctly, but for some reason

Front Panels for instruments

Does anyone know if there are any places online where I could download a vi that could fully function as the front panel of an instrument? As in like the vi would more or less look like the front panel as well preferably?

Have you checked to make sure that the GPIB address is set correctly on both the instrument and your program?

I am looking for a way to either make my vi accessible from my home computer or make my vi run on my home computer without having the labview program itself installed. Is that possible with just the basic labview 5.1 development package or do I absolutely have to purchase an expansion program?

For some reason in the VI I've been building the "Log at completion" option on the operations menu is ghosted (meaning its not clickable) I was greatly hoping to use that feature so does anyone know what might have caused it to become ghosted and how I can correct this problem?

Well, the problem I'm having is that each time the program is run it saves a file for example test1.dat Now the way I see it, the easiest way to make the next file saved be titled "test2.dat" would be to have a variable that increments by one each time the user runs the program.
