Re: blinking front panel object problem

Hello Joe , Thanks for the info , one more question, I have data starting at maybe 0 , or maybe - 5, or maybe 5 , streaming in packets and how can I make a true or false comparison in that when the load cell is loading it will show true and when unloading show false therefore changing the state

Re: Extract value in last cell of spreadsheet Excell

Is this number special in any way , ie , the highest or lowest number or unique in some way to the rest of the data ? If so,this should this will be very easy to do.

Re: clear array or indicator

James Thank you for the help i managed to open it and see what you had done , The shift register on the main while loop did the trick. Do you have any suggestions for the blinking indicators? Anyway Thanks again Brett Scott Western Australian School of Mines

Re: Displacment value to be represented by up and down blinking arrows

Ian Thanks for that, didnt even know those property nodes existed. Works great, BUT the number that controls the direction needs to works that if the number is positive to the previous number it flashes down , and if the displacment is negative to the last number it goes up(Blinks) ,not relative

Re: Displacment value to be represented by up and down blinking arrows

No , no , Patience is the factor here ,Plenty of creativity to go around. Back to the books and examples Thanks Brett Scott

serial data simulation problem

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

Re: serial data simulation problem

Thanks mads , surely there's got to be a easier way ,Perhaps there's a vi around that I could wire up to the relevant paths and this could give we a sort of ascending or descending streams numerics

Displacment value to be represented by up and down blinking arrows

I am recieving data (displacment) and wish to represent this as an arrow blinking up or down depending on the number when the displacment data is increasing the arrow blinks down and the opposite for negative displacment ,Does anybody know a easy way to do this or even better a example vi in V6

Re: Displacment value to be represented by up and down blinking arrows

I only use V6 , unfortuantly cant open , you must be using v6.1 ,thanks for help anyway.see if I can talk someone into recompiling . Thanks

Re: I want to make a arrow picture blink when The Load cell is travelling down

Ah ha , This is exactly what I am trying to do , thanks for the help.
