Description

Overview

This example shows how you can add a custom NI VeriStand Workspace Control for enabling/disabling an alarm.

 

 

Description

The attached .zip file includes the LabVIEW Project used to create the custom workspace control. It has the VI components for the custom workspace control and also the source distribution build specifications used to distributed the files to the correct location ( <Public>\Documents\National Instruments\NI VeriStand 20xx\Display Templates) on your development machine.

This control allows you to select an alarm to programmatically enable and disable it.  You can select a particular controller in your project to view the available alarms.

It could be modified to display an entire table of alarms to be enabled or disabled.  To install, either build the source code or copy the Alarm - Enable.vi and AlarmEnableSupport.llb files to the <NI VeriStand>\Display Templates folder.

 

The source code for the Enable/Disable Alarm Workspace Control is broken down into three primary sections; Initialize, Update Interface, and Shutdown.

 

Initialize: Creates references for Dynamic Events, Workspace Manager, and Alarm Manager.

Update Interface: Handles the different events and cases produced while using the VeriStand Workspace. Whenever the Enable button is pressed it will load the Select Dialog.vi

Shutdown: Closes references for Dynamic Events, Workspace Manager and Alarm Manager.
