How to create a matrix-view on the panel? (crossed lines)

[OnlyOne]

Hello,

i have PCI-card which is a matrix with lets say 50 rows and 10 columns. How can i show this on a labview panel?

I have there lines of course and can place 50 horizontal and 10 vertikal together, but how can i do this that i can click on the position where to lines are crossed that after this there is a point shown (to represent a closed switch)?

The only workaround currently is to use 500 small buttons and put them very near together.

Thanks for help

Hi One,

create an array of boolean buttons.

Customize the button to show an open/closed contact in the corresponding states...

Hi,
I think you should use a table control : create an event "table : mouse down", and convert the position given (using an invoke node) to the cell clicked.
Then connect the two channels, and color the cell in green to show that this point is connected. You can add a text in the cell like X1-Y30 to be sure to click on the good cell.

I hope this wil help you to find your solution.

Best regards,
