Text box rendered size

Status: Completed Submitted by Member on 11-04-2010 02:26 PM 1 Comment

I often create custom reports that have a box drawn "FreeFrame" with a text box "FreeText" inside. In some cases, I put too many characters in the text box and it breaks the bounds of the box. It is difficult to predict the size of the text box unless you use a font like courier. I would like the property of size added to the report text box.

 

  • The use case is update the text box with the text.
  •  Check the rendered text box size.
  • Adjust font size if the box exceeds the size of the surrounding box.

Add 2d intensity plot without frequency for VIEW

Status: Completed Submitted by Trusted Enthusiast on 10-22-2010 03:24 AM 2 Comment

In Report it's possible to create a 3D matrix plot with only an Y-axis and the X-axis embedded in the waveform channels.

If you export this to VIEW this won't work since VIEW needs an explicit X and Y channel.

Use DIAdem mapping function to create a bread crumb trail

Status: Completed Submitted by Member on 10-02-2010 08:39 AM 11 Comment

All,

 

I am currently trying to use the new mapping feature in DIAdem 2010 to create a map of a drive route.  I want the map to contain a "bread crumb" trail of the route.  I also need the ability to change the each Lattitude/Longitude point to a specific color depending on another channel of data.  I have a report that does a similar task but I use MapPoint and Labview to create the map and then export it as an image and use DIAdem to grab the image and attach it into the report.  I thought I might be able to leverage the DIAdem 2010 mapping feature if possible. 

 

I have attached a map of what I am trying to do in the DIAdem forums at the following location.

REPORT: Property-copy for graphs

Status: Completed Submitted by Member on 09-24-2010 02:49 AM 2 Comment

If you have several graphs and want to change e.g. the axis-scaling it has to be done for each graph separately. An automatic function would be nice.

 

Possible solution:

1. mark all graphs to be changed

2. double-click the axis

3. the next menu shows only the properties, which are in all marked graphs the same.

4. Changing one property will change it for all marked graphs.

Mass-Manage (Delete, Move) Sheets in VIEW and REPORT

Status: Completed Submitted by on 09-21-2010 03:44 PM 2 Comment

Every once in a while when working with larger VIEW layouts or especially REPORT layouts, I find myself wishing I could mass-manage the sheets.  For example, through the manage sheets dialog, I'd love to be able to highlight (shift+click or ctrl+click) multiple sheets and delete them all at once, or highlight multiple sheets and move them all at once as a group.  Yes, I know I could manipulate them via SCRIPT, but sometimes I just want to be lazy!

Allow appending sheets in VIEW

Status: Completed Submitted by Member on 09-21-2010 02:01 AM 4 Comment

It's very easy and useful to append a layout in REPORT (File...Append Layout), so it's confusing and disappointing that this isn't available in VIEW.

Y2 axis for unit conversion

Status: Completed Submitted by Member on 09-02-2010 11:53 AM 5 Comment

Unfortunately, I do a lot of work with non-Metric units, but generally take the measurements in Metric.  I'd like to be able to have the Y2 axis display converted units without creating a new channel, adding to the graph, adding a new channel to my graph, modifying the begin/end points so that the new signal perfectly matches the metric version, etc.  

 

For example, if I had position vs time, and my Y1 data is in meters, I'd like the option to add the Y2 axis in feet from the graph setup.

Allow VIEW area re-arranging by clicking/dragging

Status: Completed Submitted by Member on 08-31-2010 01:31 PM 13 Comment

Sometimes you want to move an area around, and the only way right now is to re-create an area which is quite inefficient.

Make REPORT object oriented

Status: Completed Submitted by Member on 08-31-2010 01:25 PM 9 Comment

Because it's so much easier to write scripts for (like VIEW)!

Allow context menu for Data Portal to be available programatically

Status: Completed Submitted by Member on 08-31-2010 01:14 PM 2 Comment

I would like this for custom pinning functions specific to our needs (like pin all channels of same name) and for the calculation manager (if a calculation's equation is defined as a channel property, re-calculate it or bring up the calculation manager, etc.)
