Hmmm... It looks to me like you should be able to as if you'll look under XY Graph Properties-Plots, each plot has a drop-down list of items specifying the Y-Scale and X-Scale that the current plot is using. The only problem is, each list only contains a single item - either the current X-Scale

tmh, No, I'm pretty sure you understand perfectly, as that's exactly what I wanted to do. I knew that if you had two loops on a block diagram, they would execute in parallel, but I assumed that if you had a loop and a SubVI on a block diagram, that whichever one started executing first would

Yup, I've reworked my VIs and it works exactly as I wanted. I feel pretty dumb... my new golden rule: keep it simple stupid. thanks again

Hi Alex, Sorry, but I can't open that VI either. I had exactly the same problem yesterday involving three very important VIs to a large project at work. The project has a vision component that I was testing yesterday. We're short on hardware, so I was given a crappy IMAQ framegrabber card that

Re: Shift register or Local Any differences in performance?

2004-03-24 Thread Victrick
From what I understand, using local variables is frowned upon unless they are ABSOLUTELY necessary. In my mind, there is no debate and I would take the shift register. Here are my reasons. 1. I believe that each local variable you have on your block diagram takes up the same amount of space as

Howdy all, Here's my situation: - I have some task that needs to be executed in parallel to the currently running VI. In fact, this task needs to executed in parallel to a number of VIs, so I've decided to build a sub-vi to handle this task. - This task involves performing some processes every

Sander, I'm 100% sure I could help you... if I knew what you were trying to do. The more I read your description, the less I understand, and since I don't really know what you're trying to do, I can't do much with your code. It seems to me like your real problem is your ability to partition the

Re: Freezing Tab Control/State Machine

2004-03-12 Thread Victrick
The event handling is divided amongst multiple loops for the sake of encapsulating the related code - in the actual program, there are lots of controls on each tab and lots of events to handle. Lumping all the events together in a single event structure makes the code less readable then I would
