LabVIEW DSC 8 Alarm State shared variable

[Torsten Lochner]

Hello,

it was possible in LabVIEW 7.xx to read the alarm state with "Read Tag Alarm".

.

I didn´t find such in LabVIEW 8.20.

I testet "Read Alarms" and the "property knot".

Thank you

Torsten

Hi Torsten,

to read the alarms in Labview DSC 8.20 you can use the "Read Alarms.vi" in combination with the "Format Alarm data.vi".

You are using shared varibales with DSC 8.20. There you can set the proprties (attached Screenshot.zip)
In Labview you can get these alarms with the two VIs (see above).

I also attached a little example project. There you can open the "DSC Read Alarms Demo.vi" inside of the program to see how it works.

Hope this helps
Best regards
Dippi

Hi Dippi,

thank you for your fast replie.

I need the Funktion of the Demo in an other VI.

But my first question was only to read the tag/shared variable state.

I attached a sample as picture.

Best regards

Hi Torsten,

in Labview DSC 7.1 you were working with Tags. In Labview 8.2 DSC you are working with shared variables.
So this VI won't exist in that way anymore.

If you want to read out the state, you have do do it e.g. like this (see attached jpg filfe).

I wish you a nice weekend.
Best regards
