Keyboard control on Labview

[wang]

Hi,

I have a test fixture with power on and off switch, 6V to 4V switch, reset button, enable button, beep button and shock test button.

I also have PCI 6250 board and NI 5112 board.

I would like to create a Labview program using keyboard shortcut key to control the buttons on my test fixture. Can I do that?

and how?

Can I also not let anyother people to touch anything on my program except using the shortcut key? If so, what do I need to do?

I am in a urgent. Can you reply to me promply?

hi Wang,

Right-click on a control...goto "advanced>>key navigation" and you will be able to assign key strokes to your individual controls.  Dont forget to label them on the front panel so your users will know what to hit. 

As for restricting all other access....the easiest way I can think of is to not provide a mouse with your system.  Beyond that you would need to use an event structure to filter out the mouse events.

Hi Brett,

First, I would like to know if LabVIEW program can control the buttons of my test fixture.

Second, where is advanced >> key navigation for a keyboard control? Can you show your direction more specifically?

Third, not to provide mouse with your system. Did you means there is something you need to do besides assigning keyboard

control? That is the next step.

Forth, why you mentioned event structure? did you mean if you can restrict user not to touch using the mouse, you should ignore

the event structure part.
