What is a lens?

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

Summary, Tips, and Tricks on Clusters

Module by: National Instruments

  • Clusters group data elements of mixed types. A cluster cannot contain a mixture of controls and indicators.
  • If a front panel contains more than 2828 controls and indicators that you want to use programmatically, group some of them into a cluster and assign the cluster to a terminal on the connector pane to eliminate clutter on the block diagram.
  • To create a cluster control or indicator, select a cluster on the Functions>>All Functions>>Array & Cluster palette, place it on the front panel, and drag controls or indicators into the cluster shell.
  • Use the Cluster functions located on the Functions>>All Functions>>Cluster palette to create and manipulate clusters.
  • Error checking tells you why and where errors occur.
  • The error cluster reports the status, code, and source of the error.
  • Use the error cluster controls and indicators to create error inputs and outputs in subVIs.
