Array of front panel changing size on another computer.

Solved!
Go to solution

I am having a strange issue here. I am using array indicators on a front panel to convey information to an operator. Everything is the same size and aligned on my system, but when I take it to another system a few of the arrays change size. See pictures. I have tried to set the height of the indicator using a property node, but I can't write to that. All of the arrays are using the same font and font size. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi guy,

 

set the exactly same font for all arrays and labels. I usually use Tahoma 13 (instead of generic "Application Font").

Then set that font in the app INI file using the FONT keys:

FPFont="Tahoma" 13
BDFont="Tahoma" 13
appFont="Tahoma" 13
dialogFont="Tahoma" 13
systemFont="Tahoma" 13
Best regards,

That did it. Thank you.

 

Now, onto trying to figure out why LV is printing thousands of labels instead of just 2...

Hi guy,

 

you create a new thread for that different topic, I guess…

Best regards,

Sorry, that was a joke, but I was subtracting 20 from an unsigned int and was underflowing the variable for pages to print.
