Look for Design Ideas to Visualize Test Report

[Scott-D]

Hi all, here is my case.  I have a csv file as signal analysis report produced by MatLab. The file will have ~1000 rows and each row is formatted as “Signal ID, 1 or 0 as Pass/Fail indicator, and then follows 10 more fields that are statistic values describing that signal.  

The tool I like to build with LabView is to read the file, and then display all signals using LED indicators (e.g green is a Pass, Red is a Fail) as a data review quick look.  Then I can move my mouse or click on one particular LED to see more details about that signal.  Another idea is instead of display all 1000 signals at front panel, I may group these 1000 signal into 6~ 8 categories, using pull down menu on the fly to select what category signals I want to see and another pull down menu to pick individual signals. 

First I thought I can read the file into an array and feed the Signal ID and 1/0 to another 1-D array of a cluster with three elements (string indicator, LED indicator, Boolean control for click on if you like to see details).  It seems not an easy quick for me as I have to figure out how index of the array and search works.  

Before I go further, I am just wondering if there are any better and easier options out there.  

Thanks much in advance!

Doing an initial grouping is probably a good idea since it would be difficult to look at over 1000 rows to find something. As for providing some way of updating a side indicator on more details given the array element selected, that's not difficult to do. Take a look at this example, which provides the index of the element where the mouse cursor is.

An initial grouping sounds like a good idea.

You could feed the signal IDs to a listbox with the pass/fail 1/0 selecting a symbol which resembles a boolean.

Here is a quick and dirty mockup in LV 8.5.

Thanks much for your suggestions and I'll go through these examples.

Hi Lynn,  I love to see the attachment, but unfortunately I only have 8.2 installed and was not able to open it.  Is it too much for your to generate screenshots for me to view your mockup?

Thanks a lot,

Scott

Here is a copy saved for LV8.0.
