Preface any tool, when you use it to the extreme, often in the two direction of the development of such a child
1. With the mouse operation function of the software, his use of the extreme is out of the mouse, toward the keyboard
2. Mainly keyboard operation, his ultimate is the script automation, or a key to generate
Don't believe me? You can open Word,excel, Photoshop and other software, experience the Professional software in the shortcut keys and script the powerful features it.
Like many software, LabVIEW has a rich shortcut key, have you ever really understood them with LabVIEW?
This section of the small series will be grilled to let you brief Encounter of the LabVIEW shortcut keys, grilled you never know the LabVIEW script. Take you from getting started--------------
Getting Started shortcut keysIn the first contact with LabVIEW, many people will master some of the necessary shortcut keys to assist its programming, the use of shortcuts let us eliminate the graphics operating level too deep trouble. So, take a look at the entry-level shortcut keys do you know anything about it?
Ctrl+e one of the necessary divine skills, ctrl+e, if not this shortcut, it is necessary to constantly switch back and forth panel. This skill is one of the essential skills of LabVIEW developmentctrl+h
Open timely help, one of the necessary skills ctrl+b clear the broken line ctrl+u The block diagram, one of the necessary skills. Many beginners are confused about when to use this shortcut key, in fact, although it is not ideal in the overall finishing effect, but a separate arrangement of some selected lines but it is miraculous. CTRL + N Create a new VI, universal shortcut key Ctrl+s Save VI, Universal shortcut key Ctrl+o quickly open a VI, universal shortcut keys
Intermediate shortcut keys (already partially Brief encounter) Ctrl+r:Run VI. LabVIEW is so convenient to run the button, so that everyone directly using a click on the way to run VI, in the rapid testing, do not know this shortcut, debugging code speed will be greatly limited.
Ctrl+i Open the VI property. When you program to a certain extent, open the VI property will be very frequent a work, you all about the VI settings will be configured here, including: VI of the window features, vi explanation, VI interface size, VI of the execution properties, vi running position, and so on, quickly open the VI properties, let the configuration more flexible.
Ctrl+w close the current VI. When you open 20+vi do not know how to deal with, you will not feel how wonderful this shortcut key, you can quickly close the vi you do not want to see, with shift use more effective.
ctrl+= and ctrl+-This shortcut is used to adjust the font size on the front panel, the necessary medicine for unifying fonts ... Ctrl+shift+n This shortcut is used to open LabVIEW navigation. When the LabVIEW block diagram is too large, or a control cannot be found, this function can be very useful ctrl+.vi do not stop, use CTRL +. This is equivalent to clicking on a forced interrupt (use this VI only when the exit mechanism is wrong) advanced shortcut CTRL + Wheel CTRL + Scroll wheel can quickly switch case structure, simple and practical skills.
ctrl+mThis shortcut is my most want to recommend one, do not know if there is any contact.
In the official language description is change to Run Mode, in learning LabVIEW for a few years I have not known where this shortcut key, until later to do distributed data acquisition system, only to find this shortcut is really god skills! If you have used clone mode (or shared memory copy), then must have encountered this situation, when you need to edit a specific VI, the VI is often the way I change the code, cannot edit Ah, must find the correct position VI open AH.
I used to encounter this situation is to go to the disk directory to find, later found a shortcut key can switch to edit mode, it is very useful!
This skill is especially important in LabVIEW FPGA programming, because your FPGA is going to be the default to switch VI to clone mode, and if you don't know this shortcut, your programming will be a nightmare! Ctrl+qlabview official Given the ctrl+q is to exit LabVIEW meaning, as shown, which is what God shortcut key?
Don't worry, the real LabVIEW ctrl+q is not such a use, we usually define ctrl+q as the function of Show project under Windows is Show Project, it seems to be not how to put. It's a big mistake to think so!
LabVIEW as a graphical programming language, all the code in the form of VI, when open a lot of VI, you will have to spend a lot of time between the different VI to switch, with this shortcut, you can in the vast VI code quickly back to your project, save a lot of time to search VI
Expert level shortcut key Ctrl+shift+space Advanced Level shortcut key is it hard to fail you? So look at the expert level use which shortcut keys ~
When you write programs to the expert level, using the mouse to write LabVIEW programs will be reduced as much as possible, and most of the work is beginning to be done using Quickdrop. So where is Quickdrop?
Under the menu View-->quick drop you can see the quick Placement options in the Menu control options, the default shortcut keys are using Ctrl+space. Because most people use Sogou input method, Ctrl+space will conflict with input method, we often change the shortcut key to Ctrl+shift+space
Set the shortcut key, you can use the button in the front and back panel to pop up the following window by typing different letters, you can quickly search for the required functions. This is because the English characters in the search are few and accurate, so I always recommend the LabVIEW version in English.
Ctrl+shift+space+ Custom + Enter custom use is one of the powerful reasons why quick drop has a strong advantage, and by using Config's own shortcut keys, you can save most of the shortcuts shown in the work of finding Common VI as the shortcut keys I used to define, By defining commonly used shortcut keys shorthand, you can customize your own accelerator tool, shortcut keys do not need too much, the usual definition can make your programming 6 fly ~ctrl+shift+space+ctrl+ pre-defined keys + Enter if you have not used the script will never realize the charm of automation programming, shown by the LabVIEW comes with some of the CTRL + Quick placement I am more commonly used, the first is ctrl+t (here all omitted the description of the pop-up Ctrl+shift+space), Using this shortcut allows you to quickly arrange the control labels for the back panel, place the input controls on the left, display the controls on the right side, and provide the prerequisite for the grooming control. Another is Ctrl+r, if you encounter the deletion of a piece of code, you will have to face the removal of some VI, and then reconnect the mechanical work of disconnection. To do this, LabVIEW has solved for you, you just have to select the vi you want to delete, pop up the Quick Drop dialog, and then Ctrl+r, the miracle will appear! There are many others, so you can explore them by yourself! The Ashes level shortcut key God Horse, and the Ashes level? Not to tell you, ashes above also, that is boundless sky!
The core function of fast placement if just define a few shortcut keys, then its function is also really priority, more powerful shortcut key use should cooperate with the custom LabVIEW program, I just introduce some of my own shortcut keys
Ctrl+shift+space+custom VI content here the Custom VI content uses another branch of Quickdrop, where the VI code fragment is placed
For example, I defined a quick Drop shortcut E with the shortcut key Ctrl+shift+space+e+enter to implement the following code fast placement.with this code placement, basically say goodbye to drag and drop a while loop from the palette, all architectures can be placed in one click, saving a lot of work time.
Ctrl+shift+space+ctrl+custom VI Script is a powerful custom feature that allows us to get rid of tedious code drawing work and realize the rapid development of LabVIEW programs.
Here are a few of the toolkits you've defined to introduce the powerful features of the script!
Ctrl+shift+space+ctrl+a If you've ever had a tedious time creating a control reference in your schema, then you must have not used a script to create the duplicated code, see the following feature how will you implement it? How can I quickly create a control reference and arrange the position of a control? (I'll detail the implementation of this feature in a later article), so that if you define what you want to do, the script can do it within 1s. Do we not want to automate our own tools to automate the control? Ctrl+shift+space+ctrl+s If you use object-oriented programming, frequent creation of sub-VI will be the problem you have to face, how to implement a key arrangement sub-VI front Panel control and automatically connect the terminal? Shown is the process of automatically typesetting the front panel and creating the Sub VI.
There are many other custom shortcut keys, whether NI community or lava will have a lot of people to develop a key shortcut, if you are willing to improve your programming efficiency,a lot of useful tools will be found!
Divine Shortcuts God-level shortcut keys More is the forum of High Man, and most of them are crooked nuts. More to visit the Forum, LabVIEW World is actually very big ....At the end if you have a better shortcut to use the experience, you can leave a message to contact me, I will revise the article, summarize better documents;
Another, the operation industry has specialized, the smell Tao has successively, in the knowledge front door, we may glimpse one or two, but do not know heavens beyond heavens, person outside someone. Keep a humble heart, focus on the improvement of technology, Excellence ~
-----This article dedicated to fall into the LabVIEW pit but still do not give up, we are not professional software engineers, but there is a progressive heart.
