Selecting diferent sub Vi's from main VI

[Pazzer 577]

I have a VI which contains a set of calibration values, this is read by the main VI which applies these values to produce a pressure transducer display in Bar.
I want to have the option that when you run the VI you are given an option to select from a list which subVI supplies the VI containing the data.

This is so that a number of transducer calibration values can be selected.

Is there a way to do this.

Allan,

I think that you need to use dynamic loading technique, which was described since LV5.
Take a look at example at ..\labviewX\examples\viserver\dynload.llb

Basically you need to get vi's list from separate directory where you'll put your "calibration" vi's, then wire this list to one of the selection box or list control, select desired file and load it dynamically using open vi reference, as described in mentioned example.

Hope this will give you an idea.

Put the different sub-vis in a case structure. From the main VI select which case to choose and you will select which sub-vi to use.

Allen,

Put an text ring, menu ring or enumeration ring on your front panel. In each item of the ring put a text description of the calibration that would be used. Wire this ring to a select case. In each of the cases put the sub-vi with those cal constants. The user will select the cal constants to apply by selecting it from the ring.

How about just using a case statement and a ring control....

Another way to do this is to put the calibration data into a
Configuration File (very similar to a WINDOWS-style .ini file).
You could have a Section for each sensor, identified by serial
number. Each parameter could be designated by its own Key.
Something like

[RPT301-54321]
Offset=12.304
scale factor=0.9964
cal date=20010224

The advantage is that the software does not need to be changed
whenever you re-calibrate or get a new sensor. This is important
in places where the software release is strictly controlled.

The VIs to do this are in File I/O/Configuration file VIs. You
can generate/modify the file manually using a text editor, or
maybe automatically from your calibration program.
