SignalExpress project documentation function

Solved!
Go to solution

I'm using LabView 2009 SignalExpress "project documentation" function in my application project.

 

The project measures one pressure signal continuously under different situations. What I want to present in my project document is a list of plots of this pressure siganl taken under different situation, with one plot for each situation so readers can compares the plots easily.

 

For example, I want the document shows:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At 10am with low flow:

 

plot of pressure siganl

 

At 11am with increased flow

 

plot of the same pressure signal

 

etc.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

What I did was dragging the pressure signal into my documentation from data acquisition step in project tree, but by doing so, I could only show the lastest plot of this signal in my documentation, the plot is real-time just as what shows in data view.

 

Is there a way to show the same siganl taken at different times in one documentation?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

You can absolutely do that by using a feature called "snapshots".

 

Instead of dragging the signal from the step directly into your project document, first create a snapshot of your data using the menu option "Operate >> Create Snapshot... (Ctrl+Shift+T)"

 

A dialog will appears asking you which signals you want to snapshot. After selecting it/them and clicking Ok, your new snapshot(s) will appear in the Snapshot section of the application (in the lower left corner, by default).

 

Drag those signals over to your project document. When you're ready to create your next snapshots after changing your configuration, you can select "Operate >> Repeat Last Snapshot (Ctrl+T)" to simplify your process.

 

For more information about Snapshot, refer the LabVIEW SignalExpress Help found under "Help >> LabVIEW SignalExpress Help" and search for the keyword "snapshots".
