LabWindows/CVI Idea Exchange

In close analogy to the functions N_Dist (,)... for calculating the one-sided probability for a standard normal distribution I'd like to suggest test routines

B_Test () for binomial distributions and P_Test () for Poisson distributions.

Background: In many experiments, signals are not measured as a continuous curernt/voltage but are counted as individual events (photons, particles...) For 'rare' events the corresponding distribution function is binomial (few repetitions/sweeps) or Poisson (many repetitions).

In such cases using a Gaussian distribution is not always justified.

I'd like to suggest the possibility to query attributes of a control during debugging, i.e. after the program stops at a breakpoint I would like to have the possibility to obtain the scaling behavior (manual, autoscale) of a graph and the assignment (left/right axis) of a plot...

Thanks!

I do like the improved editor features of CVI2013; maybe two toolbar icons could be added for the two new commands  'Goto Next Function' / 'Goto Previous Function' ?

I thought I'd submitted that in the past, but I can't find it.

I would like to programmatically do what the F11 button does in the user interface editor: change the style of a control into another one of a similar category, keeping whatever attributes are compatible. For instance a numeric into a thermometer, etc...

Currently ATTR_CTRL_STYLE is not settable, and I tried to write some way to transform a control into another with NewCtrl/DiscardCtrl but the main problem is that the control number changes, which complicates the rest of the program needlessly (you can't use constant #defines).

Hello,

debugging an event-driven software sometimes might be easier if there would be a possibility to log all events (e.g. to a log file) because it happens that the sequence of events occurring is different from the sequence expected ...

What I have in mind is an additional checkmark in the Build Options panel, 'Log events'. As a further option, events could either be logged to a debug window or to a file, with information such as

system time, thread_id, event_type (e.g. VAL_CHANGED), event source (e.g. panel_handle, control_id)

Thanks!

Hello,

sorry for the strange title, I couldn't find a better one:

Right now, if I toggle a tag or set a breakpoint, these actions cannot be undone using 'Undo (CTRL+Z)'.

Similarly, if I want to discard any changes I have made in a project this may not be especially simple... If I simply close CVI then I am asked if I want to save or discard my changes - this is fine - unfortunately this does not include breakpoints, tags, etc. So even if I select 'discard', tags, breakpoints etc. are not undone.

I'd like to have a possibility to close a project in the state I have opened it.

After loading a file file into the UIR Localization Tool you have the ability to show a preview of individual panels with the localized strings by pressing the "Open >>>" button. The problem is that, unless the panel is set to auto center in either direction, the preview honours the actual position (top, left) the panel has into the UIR file, with the effect that some panels cannot be previewed as they are out of the viewable screen area. As an example, see the attached UIR file, where PANEL_4 and PANEL_6 are not auto centered while the others are: you'll see that their position is not in the center of the screen.

In my opinion the goal of this tool preview ability is to show the final aspect a localized panel has, so it should automatically auto center each panel regardless the value these attributes have into the UIR file.
