Displaying chart on different screen for viewing

[trodriguez]

Currently in my front panel I have 3 charts displaying realtime data.  One of the charts is a gauge and I would like to move (drag) this chart to another screen that I have connected to my computer. This will be used as feedbak for subjects to view. I would like to keep the other two charts on my current monitor so the I can monitor performance on this screen.

1. Is there anyway to do this?

2. If so, how would I go about doing this.

The attached figure explains the question better.

Thank you in advance for you help!

Hi Trodruiguez,

      This is pretty basic stuff, but there are a few details...

1.       Create another VI - call it Meter.vi - with just a meter-control on the front panel.
2.       Associate the meter-control with the connector-pane

• right-click on connector-pane icon, choose "show connector"
• click on connector, click on meter-control

     3.       Change meter.vi to "show front panel when called"

• right-click on connector-pane icon, choose "VI Properties"
• Category "Windows Appearance"\Customize
• Select "Show Front Panel When Loaded"
• OK, OK

     4.       Use positioning tool (plus-sign or arrow) to select the connector-pane, copy it to clipboard (Ctrl-c), paste it on your "Main" VI's diagram (Ctrl-V)

     5.       On the main diagram, wire the current meter's data-source to the connector of meter.vi

When you open/load the main VI, Meter.vi should pop-open, and when you run Main, the meter-control should update just it does on Main.

 Cheers!
