Overview

This VI uses a Horizontal Splitter Bar to create a menu on the front panel of a VI.

Description

The upper pane contains the main front panel of the VI, and the lower pane contains various controls which form a menu.   Splitter Sizing is set to Splitter Sticks Bottom, and the upper pane has Pane Sizing configured to Scale all Objects with Pane.  As a result, the upper pane scales as the VI resizes, and the menu remains a fixed size.

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute

1. Click the Run button.

2. Experiment with the Plot and Clear buttons, as well as Number of Points.

3. Click Stop when finished.
