CLD Front Panel Question

[TomFantasia]

I understand that the front panel is now provided to you for the CLD.  Is the provided front panel fully functional, or does it require modification?

For example, do properties such as mechanical action and boolean text require modification on the test taker's part, or is the front panel fully functional?

I can't imagine these things taking very much time, but it is good to know what to expect going in.

Hi,

the front panel is provided, it may require modifications (it is written wether ot not you have to modify it) but FP mofications aren't time consuming

Expect you will need to set every property called in the requirement document as well as each tip-strip and documentation field.  It would be fair to test your knowledge of FP object properties and documentation style.

If any IS provided you loose nothing by being prepared.

tip strip need to be filled...

The folder hierarchy provided to you for developing your solution consists of the (named) main VI, input file (where applicable), Controls and SubVIs folders.

• Main VI: This includes the front panel with the corresponding terminals on the block diagram. Where front panel objects are grouped and typed defined, the .ctl file will be provided in the Controls folder. Some functionality may be provided with the controls (for example: Data Entry limits), but it is the developer’s responsibility to check and modify to the needs of their solution. For the main VI, you must customize the following:
• Icon: Customize the icon. Recommendation: Use simple icons: Example: . Avoid developing fancy, graphical icons

• VI Documentation: Briefly describe the VI in the VI Documentation. See following example.

• Description and Tip: Provide either a very brief Tip strip or Description for Main VI objects. Example: “Withdraw funds”, “Check Balance”, “Stop Application”
