changing tank color when input from a simulink crosses the threshold

[Abul Hasan]

Dear all

I want to change the color of tank indicator in labview from green to red as the input signal in simulink crosses some threshold. Actually I am integrating simulink and a labview using NI SIT connection.

Thanks

You can use a property node.

Right click the tank, create, property node, slide colors, all elements.

You can then look at the simulink value and if it is above a certain value, write the appropriate colours to the backgroud/foreground.

Hi,

Is this what you meant? (Check attachment)

Dear Ian

Thanks for you reply. It works fine only when I run LABVIEW independently but when I integrate with simulink it bypass conditional part in labview.

Dear Nitzz

Thanks for reply. Here it can work fine when you run on labview independently but if you want to provide a signal from a simulink than how can we do?

It is exactly what I want but this should be perform from a simulink signal.

Still I am not able to solve my problem. Please provide me some ideas how to change the tank color in labview with the help of signal from simulink.

Which part can't you do?

Is it getting the signal from simulink, or using that signal to interface with the tank?

(Hopefully it isn't both )

Thanks for your reply

In labview it display result only in one color when connecting with a simulink. But I want to change the tank color as it crosses the threshold as I mention previously.

It would help if you posted your code to see what is going wrong (I'll only be able to look at it if you save it for version 8.5)

However, have a look at the attached. Play with the dial - this simulates the simulink data. Then replace the dial with your code that collects data from simulink.

Here is a little more fancy version that allows you to set a few different levels and change color gradually.
