Welcome to Smart Palette Utility

[zhihao]

Description:

The Smart Palette utility accelerates LabVIEW programming by recommending objects most often used, reducing the need to search through the Functions palette to find a specific object. 

Software Requirements:

LabVIEW 2011 or later

Please feel free to ask questions here.

Known Issues:

• Smart palette won't work after a new VI is saved. Please close Smart Platte and then reopen it.
• As an NI Lab product, Smart Palette only supports English version LabVIEW. Localized version would be published after it evolves into a released product.

Thanks,

Zhihao

Could you tell me how to reproduce it? The text displays in a normal way in my machine and test machines.

[Yanhua]

my labview version is 2011sp1,

I did nothing after I installed.

when I launch LabVIEW, and open the smart palette, this text displayed.

Set the display(DPI, Text Font, etc.) of your PC to default. It might work.

Thanks for your feedback. We'll solve it in next version.

[Yanhua]

the display is already default setting.

Anyway, thank you..

We've reproduced the problem on our machine. The bug will be fixed in next version.

Thanks.

[Yanhua]

I wrote a SubVI to reverse the text in all text files from folder "Smart Palette" with Smart Palette Utility. Below image shows the VI I developed.

I developed this VI in the following steps:

1. Create a new VI.
2. Go to Tools>>Smart Palette, open SP (short for Smart Palette).
3. Drop “<Template>1.Sub VI” from SP.
4. Drop “Current VI’s Path” from SP.
5. Drop “Strip Path” from SP.
6. Drop “Build Path” from SP.
7. Select “Build Path”. Drop a string constant from SP. Type “Smart Palette” in the string constant.
8. Select “Build Path”. Drop “Check if File or Folder Exists” from SP.
9. Drop “Case Structure” from SP.
10. Drop “Recursive File List” from SP.
11. Drop “For Loop” from SP.
12. Select “Recursive File List”. Drop “Read from Text File”.
13. Hover mouse on the terminal “text” on node “Read from Text File” with “Ctrl” pressed. Drop “Reverse String” from SP.
14. Select “Read from Text File”. Drop “Close File” from SP.
15. Go to LV Palette>>Programming>>File I/O>>Write Text File. Drop it from LV Palette.
16. Drop “Close File” from SP.
17. Wire all the lines for “error”.
18. Save the VI with the same path as the “Smart Palette” folder.

Only at step 15 I can't find the expected node "Write Text File" from SP's recommendation, so result coverage from SP is above 90%.
