Help with case structure program

[Ed11bay]

Hi all,

I'm currently creating my first project using LV and to be honest, it's kinda intimidating. I'm trying my best here to impress my team as they think this is too much for me and they may be right, but I can't say no to a challenge. 

That said, attached is a tiny portion of the project: my goal is to make the sliders (T2A/T2B) variable for UUT1 and set the sliders to a fixed value for UUT2.

I'm kinda stuck here and would appreciate any ideas as to how to approach this. 

UUT2UUT1

Please attach the program so that we can reproduce and understand the issue better.

Here it is. Thank you

In the case for DUT 2, just put constants in:

• Please don't maximize the front panel and diagram to the screen.
• Please include all dependencies so we can run it. (Or substitute simple simulations). 
• Please explain what the code is supposed to do, how you operate it, what you expect to see and what you see instead.
• Please keep the front panel elements to one screen, currently there are elements scattered over gigantic "deserts" of blank space. Nobody want to scroll forever just no navigate around.
• Don't use value properties where a local variable would do the same job.
• Don't use right-to left wires for the ticker. What is the timing for the other cases?
• Why is there so much duplicate code?? Looks like all cases are nearly identical. Typically only the small differences belong inside the case structure while the rest is shared outside.
• Thanks.

I tried it but the problem is that the user can still move the slider around. Ideally, I'd like to disable and greay out the sliders for UUT2.

Thanks

I don't see any slider for UUT2. Please explain where that would be!

Maybe something like this?

(For code readability, please use the correct enums for the "disabled" property.)

Thanks for your reply. That is an interesting approach. 

I'll update sometime tomorrow on how this went. 

Thanks again!

This shed some light on finally getting this to work! thanks a lot for your feedback. However, I have one more question: What does the "Disabled" property do? Does it disable the slider completely or does it just make it not editable?

Disable makes you unable to click, move or edit it. Disable and greyed out adds a graphical effect.
