Hey all,

I am trying to create a user interface for my labview code. I have got all my inputs, outputs and dispaly graphs on my front panel. How do I put them all together to create just one panel? Thanks for the help 🙂

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your question.  You have a front panel, what do you mean by "create just one panel"?

I would recommend you learn more about LabVIEW from here. How to Learn LV

Then if you still have questions after taking the tutorials, post whatever code you have so we can see what you are talking about.

Hello ,

I know that LV has a front panel, i have 10 input numeric control which the user has to enter. My question was how do i group these 10 numeric control in to say some kind of a box so that it will look good rather than spread all around the front panel. Also, i need the box to be a coloured..Is there a way to do this??

Thanks

The front panel has a decorations palette to add visual group to things.  You could also place the controls in a cluster container.  This will not only visually group the controls, but will also treat them like a single object where all of their data will be carried in one wire.

These are all basic LabVIEW skills that you will learn once you take one of those tutorials I linked you to.

Hello again,

 I have used the cluster container, but how do i colour it?

[RavensFan]

Shift right click on the front panel to get the tools palette.  Pick the paint brush.

Contrl right click to get the color palette.

I can't find the paint brush. When I right click, all I get is Modern, System, Classic and so on.

Also, I wish to plot a waveform, but its on a raised grey box, which I am unable to get rid of. I just want the plot, not the grey box it is situatued on.

Thanks.

"Shift" Right click gets you the paintbrush tool.  A plain right click gets you the palettes.

There is also a waveform graph in the classic palette.  But with either the modern graph or the classic graph, you can select transparent as the color by clicking on the T to the upper right of the color palette.

Since you're starting out you may wish to simply have the Tools palette visible. This palette can be turned off from the LabVIEW menu. I think it's the Window menu.
