Cluster problem ?!

[blue silver]

Hello,

people , I am testing power amplifiers and everything works fine up to Result file. ( i send a signal in , and measure the output to get the charecteristics of the amplifier).

I want to save the frontpannel of my test case ( I have six numerical indicators and a graph as ssen in attechments) .
The problem begins here , I can save the graph using invoke node as a picture but the indicators not !

so I need picture of the graph. + indicators all together as a picture , to use later in my result file.

What are your advices !  Urgent !  Thank you very much.

Best Regards

Hi

I use this method all the time I hope it is OK for your needs.

Create a new cluster, place your diagram into the cluster then add any other indicators on top of the diagram. Use the cluster tools to assign values to the numeric indicators and print out the cluster control.

Hey Lan,

thnx for the reply so you wrote....

after creating a cluster , somehow I can`t assign values to my values normally those come from the test case lets say my values are ; indicator 1 is 1 , indicator 2 is 2 ,...... 3 ,4 ,5 ,6

after I create the cluster with 6 number indicators ,now how can I connect the values inside to the cluster , I cant just use a bundle function , the cabling gives error.

you know my problem is very basic cluster knowledge , please see the attachment... 

very thanks

After you have created your cluster with the correct number of indicators, go to the diagram and right click on your new clustor and select 'create constant'. This constant will be used to define the structure of the cluster (you could alternativly used a local variable for this). You will see one numeric constant for each indicator in your clustor, so if there are 6 indicators there will be six constants. You can also combine text indicators as well as numbers inside your cluster, your constant would then include strings.

Now to assign values to individual indicators use 'Bundle by name' and stretch it out for each of your measurements. Your measured values can now be connected to the Bundle inputs.

The important thing is your Cluster constant must match your front pannel cluster indicator, if you change the indicator you must also change the constant to match.

Hope this is more clear.
