Search 2D Array and Change Background of Individual Cells Using LabVIEW

[StephanieA]

Overview

This VI shows how to convert a 2D array into a table, and change the background color of the cells whose values are greater than a set limit.

 
Description

It is not possible to manipulate the properties of a single element in an array. It is possible to convert the array into a table and manipulate the properties of a table to highlight individual cells. This could be useful for performing a limits test in which you want to highlight data points that are outside of a certain range. This example shows how to convert a 2D array into a table, perform a limit test on the array, and change the background color of the cells whose values are greater than a set limit.

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Initialize the array on the front panel and set a limit.
2. Run the VI, you can see the background color of the cells whose values are greater than a set limit is changed.
