checklist

[Yixiao-uncle]

Hi!

I wrote a vi for acquiring and writing in binary file n channels from a dde DCS. In order to analyze those data I need to export, for example in Excel one, more or all channels.

I would like to use a checklist where i can select channels using  their tags (headers) in order to select elements of array to be extracted and written in Excel. Actually I am not able to write a checklist like that, more in details my checklist should be an indicator, becouse it will  read all heaters from my output, and in the same time a control, in order to select channels  to be exported. Does anybody have an idea to perform my task?

Thank You very much.

You can use a cluster with round LEDs and have their label as headers for the channels. While you are writing the values to file, you can then see which of these LEDs have been selected and only write those indexes to file. Try it out on a simple VI and then post that VI if things get confusing.

Hi.

In the attached vi i tryed to write boolen name by property node, but I found this property is available only in editing mode.

What is wrong with my approach?

Tnank You.

In LabVIEW, you cannot change the value of an Owned Label during run-time. Here is a knowledge base article that explains that and a way around it:

Programmatically Changing the Label for a Control or Indicator in LabVIEW

I would recommend that you go through some tutorials and the Getting Started with LabVIEW guide before you start programming with LabVIEW.

Hi Adnan,

Again congrats, and THANK YOU for helping!

Oh wow, thanks! Certainly wasn't expecting that. Just to let you know, I have learnt a lot from LabVIEW Champions like yourself. Thanks for being active in these forums and contributing to loads of questions.
