additional labview user interface windows?

[Dario316]

Hi there,

I am currently writing a control/monitoring program with labview. I am wondering if it is possible to have a button/link in my front panel to open an additional front panel which displays more detailed information of the same program (i.e. history graphs, numerical indicators, etc.).

Thanks,

Daryn

Daryn,

Yes.  When you want to display the detailed information, call a subVI which has the desired indicators on its front panel. Under VI properties (Window Appearance >> Customize..), set it to Show front panel when called and Close afterwards if originally closed.  These options have been avaiable since the LV 1 or 2 days.
