How to use "multi tab" in labview front panel?

Hi, I am working in data acquistion of different kind of sensor. I am displaying the data into the front panel and at the same time save the data into csv files. Now, my problem is I have to much channels to display in one single front panel. I want to display each channel in different front panel with multi tab. Is it possible to do multi tab in labview front panel? My simplest idea is to use one front panel and I move each graph into different side of the front panel. But the problem is how to use something like "go to" function.Smiley Happy Any Suggestion / help will be aprreciated Smiley Happy I also attached my vi. I am sorry if something wrong with my english ( since English is not my first language Smiley Happy ) Hope you guys understand my question.

You did not attach any code.

 

Yes, simply use a tab control. Why would you need a "go to" function?

There are many different possible solutions additionally to having a tab control containing "specific graphs" for certain transducers.

 

Other options include:

- Selecting the transducer via a drop down list (aka combo box) and display the data in a single graph.

- Putting all signals into the same graph but give the user the option to enable/disable single plots (as of LV 2011).

- Providing a tree control for selection of transducers. Display those plots in single graph or distribute to different graphs (Mix of previous suggestions).

 

Please note that these options are mainly suitable if the timebase for all signals is equal or "comparable" (e.g. ch1: 1kHz 1,000 samples => 1s, ch2: 10kHz 10,000 samples => 1s). If timing is very different, single graph indicators for each signal is the best solution and would fit nicely to an approach using a tab control.

 

hope this helps,
