Displaying vision assistant functions on the front panel

Hello,

 

again I have a little problem that will be very easy to solve to you experts.

 

I am using about 10 Vision assistants in one .vi. This is just an information that can be helpful. 

 

Well the problem is that I dont know how to display functions from all Vision assistants on the front panel of a .vi. I allready put the image indikator on the

exit of the last Vision assistant but it does not work.

 

 

On an other .vi where I was using a simple function like Find circular edge all was displaying fine on the front panel.

 

Now I am using functions: VA1: Color Plane Extraction,Gray Morphology, Brightness, Edge Detector,Set Coordinate System, Histogram

                                      VA from 2-10 in a single VA: Patteren matching, Set Coordinate System, 27x Line profile

 

Regards,

 

Marko

Make sure you click Select Controls>> to select the controls/indicators you want the Express VI to expose as inputs/outputs before clicking Finish. By default, if you click Finish without going through this optional step, the Express VI only exposes image in/image out and error in/error out. Then you can right click on the inputs/outputs of the Express VI and create controls/indicators on your front panel.

 

Hope that answers your questions.

 

Best regards,

Ofcourse I did this, I am using more then 10 VA and they are all ful of outputs and the Image out of the first one is Image in on the next one. but when I put the image indicator on the Image out of the last VA i only get the conversion from colour to black and white that is depending on one ROI histogram. But that isnt important here.

 

So the conversion is the secund VA and the Image indicator is on the end of VA number 12.

In all VA after the secound one I am using line profile function.

Hi Marko,

 

As I understand, you have 12 Vission Assistants on the Block diagram, and wish to display all their outputs on the front panel. Is that correct?

 

Are you able to place the indicators on the front panel?

 

Do you experience unexpected behaviour, incorrect data, error codes? We need more specific information and a separately defined question to be able to answer you.

 

Looking forward to your reply!

Hello Patricia,

 

Well I want to display functions from VA2 to VA12 in one picture-image indicator.

 

I put the indicator on the first VA (VA1) that is displaying the whole picture and on the last VA (VA12) that is displaying the section of the picture that I get by Image Mask function.

I would like to display functions from VA2 to VA12 in the last (VA12) image indicator.

 

No error codes come up and there is no unexpected behavior.

 

Help: All VA from VA1 to VA12 are in a stacked sequence structure one after another.

 

I hope this is helpful.

 

Regards,

Marko

Hi Marko,

 

Please attach your VI (or a simple version of your VI) so we can look over your code.

 

Thank you,

Patricia
