vi logger creation

[LW42]

Hello,

I created vi to control a unit. What I want to do is adding a string indicator on the front panel where some of the vi actions performed during the unit operation (e.g a specific boolean become true) will be written, and of course the exact time of the event. I am not sure if what I am describing is called "vi logger" but any possible suggestion is welcomed.

Thank you in advance

Sorry, I forgot to mention that is a compact Fieldpoint application and that I am using LabVIEW 8.6.1

Thank you

Hi,

See the attached example.

With this you will get references of all controls on the front panel of the vi.(From which you want to get updates)

You have to run this vi after you run the other vi and close it before.

Also you have to modify this according to your need.Right now this code will display only

name of control on which event has occurred.

Best of luck

Forgot to mention for exat time you can use time stamp function

Dear gak,

Thank you very much for your suggestion, however the vi you attached is in LabVIEW 9 and I can not open it (I am using LabVIEW 8.6.1).Could you be so kind to save it in LabVIEW 8.6.1 and submit again.

Thank you in advance
