Text input

[serial_data]

I have text box that is continuosly receiving serial data from an instrument.

As soon as data populate the screen they start dissapiering at the botom

of the text box. I have scroll bar so when I stop the VI, I can scrol to see

this data.

 I need to change this, so while the VI is running and data coming I need to see

newest data and have old data dissapiering at the top of the text box.

How to do this, what I need to change or add?

Regards,

Sead

Hi Sead,
use the Text.ScrollPos property of your string indicator and connect the string size to it.

Thank you for sugestion.

I did it with Text Scroll position and it works. Only when I had value 0

I could not scroll back up when VI stop running so I changed the value to

very large number 10000. That did the trick. Now I have new data continuosly

on the screen and I can scroll back to se the old data when VI is stopped.
