Mimic block Diagram in LAB Window CVI

[thieny1]

I'm using Lab Window CVI 6.0 to for my project. Does Lab Window CVI have a function to mimic the block diagram and run and update this block diagram. For example if I have a block diagram of circuit board, can I import this block diagram to a window and click any node on the circuit board to turn ON and update the node by using Lab Window CVI. Please see sample in the attached file. Thanks

Hi Thieny1,

CVI does not have any specific functions to mimic and run block diagrams from Visio. However, it does have ActiveX capabilities. You can try to place a Visio ActiveX control on the user interface, and run your block diagram inside it.

Here is a tutorial on ActiveX and CVI.

This is a link that describes the functionality of ActiveX in CVI.

Here is a link to a msdn website about Visio's ActiveX control.


Hope this helps. Good Luck!
