Hi I am new to LabView and was wondering if there is a way to write you program so it will flip through the different tabs on the front panel every 10 sec or so.
I have plenty of graphs in different tabs on the front panel and would like the program to flip through the tabs every 10 sec.
Setting the value of the TabControl (with local, terminal or value property) will set it's visible tab.
Do this in a while loop with a x sec. wait in it will switch them every x sec.
And since the tabcontrol is an enum, you can simply put it's value in a shift register and use "increment" (+1) every cycle. When you add 1 to the last value, it will wrap and the value will be 0.
either directly using the tab as indicator, indirectly using a local variable (if you don't want to change to indicator), or via property-node setting the "Value" property.
see the attached vi.
If Tetris has taught me anything, it's errors pile up and accomplishments disappear.
