I'm a beginner user of labview so bear with me, please. I'm working on a project that takes a data text file with columns and rows as an input. I have the project set up so far to take the data from that file and display it in an XY graph.
I want to add a feature where the user inputs a set of values that represent a range in the x-scale. The program should take those two values and make a new graph (or use the old one, that works too) with the proper scale.
I greatly appreciate your time and help .
Thanks
Edit :
A snippet of the txt file.
The red arrow shows what I tried to use from the help section of labview. Yet I have little to no idea on how to integrate it into my diagram or vet if its the right tool to use.
These numeric values input in the front panel is what I thought could work, but I'm all ears to any suggestions.
You already found the correct property node value :)
You have to connect a minimum and a maximum value to the property node. If you click on the function on the node, you can select the min and max option.
I made this little example for you to see what you need to do.
Property nodes are in genereal very useful as you can set and change so many settings programatically.
A nice feature of LabVIEW: You can drag&drop .png pictures in your Block Diagram. So if you want to test my VI-Snippet, just drag&drop it :)
I hope that I could help you, feel free to ask if you have any more questions.

I have searched google/stackoverflow etc. for answer to my question, but I didn't quite manage to find the right one. I believe I just don't know, how to set the question properly, and thus I cannot find solution.
Is there any way, how to create grid like I drawed in following image (with red colour):
I need to add this red grid to several images, which look very simmilar. The grid field (the one selected) have rolling menu, prescribed position, and a field for additional text. Black lines in background are image in background, and the red supposed to be grid above the image. I thought of creating a lot of buttons alined to each other, but i think that is very bad way to do so.
I would like a pop-up menu from selected field, but opening new activity with same fields is usable aswell. Is there any "simple" solution for creating such grid/menu ?
Btw, I am not programmer with many experience with coding, let's say, I know basics only.
Thanks in advance.
I have a simple problem and I wonder how to solve it. I already searched online but probably dont know the right key words to find the solution in the internet. I am sure, that somebody else have had this issue before me :)
I have a program with e.g. two dynpros. Each dynpro has an own pf-status. Now I want both pf-status to have a button with the function code "CONFIRM", but with a different function text or description or icon.
This seems to be impossible by now, as if I change the description or icon in the one status, it also changes in the other one.
Is it possible to handle the same function code in 2 different pf-status within one program with two different descriptions or icons?
I will change the function codes if I dont find the answer. But I really want to know!
Many thanks in advance
Normally when I used to type in my VSCode editor, the intellisense showed all the possible suggestions for the entered query.
However, now as I type, only one suggestion is shown that best matches the query.
For instance, when I type in b, the intellisense just shows a suggestion for the HTML <b> element — not a list of suggestions including tags such as <button>.
Is there any way to change this? I have searched a lot of the net but couldn't find any sort of help.
VS Code 1.51 made the list of suggestions resizable so it's possible your suggest widget is simply shrunken down to be a single line high.
To fix this, trigger suggestions and then click and drag at the bottom edge of the suggest widget to increase the number of visible suggestions.
Note that you can always use the arrow keys to navigate through suggestions, even if only one suggestion is visible. Use this to check if the widget is simply too small or if there really is only one suggestion
I wasted time on this too... (bummed)
Solution:
Open: Command Palette
Type: ">Reset Suggest Widget Size"
Select: 'click' or [ENTER]
Opinion:
Wish I saw Matt Bierner's answer sooner.
(The suggestion window can be resized by dragging its borders with your cursor.)
I really like how IntelliJ displays the information of the type of parameters that you are required to fill in as you are writing the code. The problem is that this info sometimes disappears if u click somewhere to check something etc. I never quite know how to get it to display that information again in same fashion. So I always spend some time to fiddle around until it displays that info again in the same fashion. I know you can hold down on ctrl and hover over the method name to bring up parameters information but its not quite the same and it then does not highlight on what parameter you are currently on. IntelliJ also brings up required parameters type of information when you are starting to go wrong. It brings up this big separate box and you can get very clear view of what needs to be done. I've taken a screenshot of the type of information that I'm on about. Both of them are on the same pic.
Please check it out.
My question: is there a way to bring this information up via keystrokes or mouse input at will? I've tried to google for an answer but I haven't had any joy. Please advise as I'm sure someone else might like this information too.
Thank you.
PS. I know that a good code does not usually have that many parameters but in my case there is not much that can be done.
Default shortcut for that is CTRL-P when cursor is inside the brackets.
EDIT: I realized that I didn't tag this properly - I should have included vb.net as a tag, on the grounds that there could be a code based solution. Note, that no changes to the resolution are made in my source code.
UPDATE: When the program starts execution, the left coordinate for each PictureBox is multiplied by ~0.376, whilst the top coordinate for each PictureBox.Top is multiplied by ~0.418 . This "down-scaling" applies to all picture boxes. The source code I have is incredibly rudimentary and cannot be responsible for this. I also looked at another project and I still face the same error. A simple but poor fix would be to divide each coordinate by the corresponding values mentioned above.
In order to show you the issue I'm facing, please look at the images below. Compare this image, where each PictureBox (i.e. a snake, set of arrows, etc.) has been placed so that they line up with a feature of the background image:
To this image, where the PictureBox elements are bunched together. Their positions have been "down-scaled" closer to the origin of the form (note that all the elements are transforming horizontally during runtime, which is why the elements are in the top right corner):
In the solution I was given (developed in VS 2010 I believe), the position of each PictureBox goes beyond the background image as shown:
It is clear that each picture box has been placed in an organized fashion. During execution, each PictureBox goes to it's intended position (i.e. lines up appropriately with the background image).
Obviously, the original developer of the solution I was given would have not faced the problem I am. The fact that the solution works properly during runtime indicates some kind of error with my instance(s) of VB. Does anyone know of any solutions?
I've came across this question which asks how to change the default resolution for a Windows 8 App and this question which asks why some applications appear differently on different machines, but they pose no clear solutions. I would appreciate any help, since it's holding me back from critical work I must do. Thank you in advance!
I feel a little silly now - I started carrying out a bit more research on VB forms and came came across this Microsoft documentation on form scaling. Realizing that my issue may have been caused by having this scaling automatically carried out, I then found the AutoScaleMode property of my form and changed it from Font to None, which resolved my problem.
