Example(S); Figure 5.4-1 - Vi Front Panel - Newport ESP6000 User Manual

5.4.3.2 Example(s)

All VI's have two modes of operation, simulated (default) and real execu-
tion. VI's automatically return to simulated mode after execution. If
applicable, a single VI may include both read (default) and set parameter
functionality . VI's automatically return to read mode after execution.
Input parameters are displayed on the left side of the panel and output
parameters on the right side. A representative front panel is shown in
Figure 5.4-1.
Figure 5.4-1 — VI Front Panel
For all VI's, parameter boxes are located in the same relative position on
both the wiring diagram(s) and the front-panel. Each VI is configured to
handle up to 3 variables (input/output). If an axis number is a variable, it
is always the first variable. If more than three variables are needed, they
are grouped in arrays or bundles. Axis/channel parameters (when present)
have inputs and outputs for easy flow control. In addition to parameters,
each VI returns a command prototype and an actual command as
presented to the DLL. The returned command strings can be used for
monitoring, troubleshooting, or tutorial purposes.
