Overview
Coding that exemplifies how to make a boolean control orbit around another.
Description
This VI provides an example of how to move front panel objects programmatically. A boolean indicator moves in a circle on the front panel while a second boolean indicator moves in a circle around the first.
This VI creates the circular movements by changing the Position property of the LEDs. The VI controls the iteration count in the loop by a multiple of 2*pi and performs additional calculations to produce values in the range of -pi to pi. This VI then takes the sine and cosine of these values and uses the results to modify the x and y positions, respectively, of the LEDs.
Requirements
LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
Steps to Implement or Execute Code
1. Run the VI
2. Stop execution with the Stop button.
