Hi,
I'm new in labview. Does anyone know how can I increase the size of the loop?When I double-click on the loop to enlarge it as like we do with other windows, I don't see any change on the loop?and also how can I move the icons in the block-diagram window?
Labview version:7.1
windows XP
Daqmx 8.9
thanks

Hi vahi,
don't you think taking the FREE online beginner courses would do you good?
Basic stuff like selecting BD elements, moving selected elements and also changing the size of selected elements should be learned at first…

Things like "Crtl+M" toggles between Edit Mode and Run mode, behavior of read only vi files, Crtl+Drag makes space on the sub diagram, and tool section are covered in the getting started exercizes.

When I watch the tutorial video, the first thing which it says is "View/Tools Palette"...But I don't have "View" tab in LV7.1....Furthermore, when I search "Tool Palette"...No result!

Shift+Right-click worked even in 7.1 There should be a getting started with LabVIEW guide at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\manuals\LV_Getting_Started.pdf and one called LV_Quick_Referance.pdf. Print that last one and tape it to your wall.

thinking.......
no "View" Menu or "No Menu Bar"
Ctrl+I opens the vi property dialog. Check "Protection" and unlock the vi. Window Appearance select customize and check the Window has menu bar box. Niether is likely to be covered in the GSG.

If you take any tutorial made recently I'm guessing you are going to find several functions that don't exist in 7.1. Don't get me wrong the basics are the same, but you might get hung up on trying to find some equivalant function in 7.1 that has been made native in last 10+ years. In any case here is some tutorials you could try.

If you are just learning I'd reocommend getting the student version free for 6 months here. I think the full student version with no time limit is only $20 from studica anyway.
