Hidden Digital Displays in Waveform Charts

[ryan.carroll]

In a waveform chart, I have Digital Displays enabled. I hid a few of the digital displays (by way of advanced-hide indicator), and now I can't figure out how to re-enable that digital display or allow later digital displays to actually be displayed.

Could you post an example of this erratic behavior? What version are you using of LV? One way to make them reappear is to create a property node and use the digital display [] property. This will give you an array of digital display references. Place this into a for loop and use autoindexing and make each of the digital displays visible again using a property node. Also you can right click on the chart on the front panel and goto visible items and enable digital displays. I do know of a bug with the waveform datatype control. If you right click on it and hide the control and then goto the control or indicator you cannot make the control visible again. This was in 7.0. I am not sure if this helps but if you post the example maybe we can help.

What happens when you deselect Digital Displays and then select it again. When I do that, any individual ones that I've hidden will reappear.

Turns out the "hidden" digital displays showed up after I disabled and renabled a few times.... just a screen or two below where I thought they were going to be. Thanks for the help.

You can hide a control/indicator on the front panel using Right Click - Advanced - Hide Control. You can then make it visible again by going to the block diagram, right clicking on the control, and selecting Show Control.
