CHANGE OF STATE

[altenbach]

You cannot change individual properties of array elements, so you need to do something else. I would recommend to use a table indicator with a single column and color the cells accordingly.

Dear Sir,

I tried making the colour change for array number 1 , 2 ,3 and so on till 12 and was working well but the only the first loop array number fails to response. why does it works this way?

Is there any easy workround for this?I just need all array inputs to response to the colour change, i am almost there but left a small error.Anyone can help?

Thank you!

I cannot test your snipped, because the property nodes don't correctly survive. Thus I cannot understand what you mean.

Please attach the actual VI instead.

Here's an example on how you could create a color indicator for each channel using an array of colorboxes. No property nodes needed.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for you help. This is the function that i want. Can i ask you how do you create the colorbox array? I only know how to create a single colour box.

Can the "state" be individual boxes instead of array? This is because i have a few single boxes located at different part of the GUI and not join together.

Thanks for your advise!

 Simply drop an empty array container, then drop a colorbox into it. Resize as needed.

 Yes, you can pepper your panel with colorboxes any way you desire. Simply use index array on the current color array, resize it to 12 elements, and hook up the indicators. for example as follows:

Dear Sir,

How do i create the colour indicator U32 box? Where is it on the palette?Is I32 new also create the same way?

Please advise!

[altenbach]

There is one in the numeric palette, two in the "classic numeric" palette. I use the classic frameless.

The color box diagram constant can be found picture functions palette.

You can create an array from (almost) anything. Drop whatever you want into an empty array container and you got yourself an array.

For I32New, I dropped a simple system numeric and changed the representation to I32.

An array is simply a collection of otherwise identical elements that can only differ in value. Each element is identified by it's array index. You can have an array of clusters, of knobs, of whatever...

Sorry to butt into here, but some of the questions you are asking are quite basic. Have you gone through the LabVIEW tutorials? To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the tutorial(s) and look over the material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free.

Dear Sir,

I have gone through the basic introduction to Labview quite some time ago while most of the time i am doing data acquistion applications only. I will scan through the free links that you pointed out and learn form there also.

Thank you for providing me the links to learn more about labview as i am quite new to labview. Is there any good and popular (easy to understand) labview book for beginner?
