Ray , I explained the scenarios only.
I will explain again how this is going to work , I told you that before 🙂
Maybe so, but not enough details were given. I am not telepathic 😉
Just want you to know something and of course you know it that when you make a GUI.....and u select this VI to work with , it is going to be running , means that i dont have to run it manually.....that's why i am saying end program because we are doing it now in labview , there is no .exe until now 🙂
You are assuming... You cannot say that "of course you know it that when you make a GUI"... so many people do things differently that there is no way of knowing what people want. That's an assumption... Even with the same functionality, the main program (top level) may be running until it is stopped, but the sub-vi's should be able to handle events from start to finish independently of the calling vi. At least that is how I define them. Other people define them differently, and I respect that. But to say that "we know that this will do that because..." is not true unless we participated in the definition of the software behavior. In over 300 posts, the software behavior has never been defined. So there is no telling what it is "supposed to do" 😮
the reason why i am not demanding things , i know that you are helping me and this means alot to me , i know u have family and u got ur own bussnis to take care with , so that's why i dont want to ask more and more u know 🙂 i want to keep things easy.
I am helping people on this forum because I enjoy working with LabVIEW and I have fun sharing and learning from this forum. Not because I have to. And although it may not seem that way, I am trying to help you. But just continuously writing tid-bits of patches is not helping anyone. It is a messy way to proceed and does not reflect how I approach a project. If I do not try to help you fully describe your needs after so many posts, then I should go back to some sort of schooling because I would not be adhering to what I believe. 😞 😉 You should look at it this way... Here is an opportunity to learn something... Something beyond the language.. Something that can be used anywhere in your life experience.. To clearly describe what you want.. In all it's details, as you imagine it, which can include the colors, the time it takes, the size, and all the events and exception handling that is necessary to be flawless.. (or at least reasonably so).. 🙂
If you really want me to define what I want and how this will work here you go :
Yes, I do want to you define what you want, otherwise how do you expect anyone to even try to do someting unless we know what you want??? Think about that one for a minute 😠 Come one.. How could you expect someone to try to help you if you don't want to tell them what you want??
<sarcasm ON>
D'euh..
<sarcasm OFF>
All the students have to do when the Vi is running 3 things :
- Choose a file name .xls through popup that ask the user to enter a file name FIRST and save it somewhere on his pc , so we dont worry about writing back to the same file
- Set up a sampling rate and a lengh in the configure data collection popup Second
- Then collect data and write it to file.xls Third (with the header info)
Now that's a start..
now you gonna tell me that the VI does not do the first one , i would say yes i know because i dont want you also to pass ur time helping me 🙂 but thank you anyways
So are you telling me you no longer want or need my help? I'm confused..
i was trying to make things easy 🙂
