Using two monitors with LV

[MogaRaghu]

Hi NRP,

Yeah it did work fine with LV8.0.

But since it was not doing anything useful, I modified it so as to reflect a numeric value entered in Primary. The modified VIs are enclosed.

My problem now is how to do this for a LV7.1 version that does not have this configuration feature ?? I have a few codes running in LV7.1 and hence the query.

Thanks

Hey Raghunathan,

Have a look at the link;

This should help.

Hi Mehta,

Yeah I have seen and tried the VI that you had linked to.

But it has a problem :

- My application has a main timed loop of 50ms which acquries and process DACS. Thus  there will be numerous user interactions with the main running on the primary monitor. Only the AI values are grouped into a sub VI and that is sent to  the secondary monitor.
- When the secondary monitor is active, the focus  shifts completely to the  subVI and the user is unable to interact with the main VI in the primary monitor.  That  is the  problem I now have. How to keep the secondary monitor active and also gain back focus to the primary monitor ?

( However with LV8.0 onwards where we can configure the run location of the VI in the properties dialog and there is no problem. Both the primary and secondary VIs have focus )

Thanks

Hey Raghunathan,

Have you tried using property nodes to set key focus to true on the the VI that needs to be focused on?

Please refer to the link below for more info;
