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: Adjust LabVIEW settings to match those used by the screencast videos in the "Communication Systems Projects with LabVIEW" series.

Table 1
LabVIEWtop.png This module refers to LabVIEW, a software development environment that features a graphical programming language. Please see the LabVIEW QuickStart Guide module for tutorials and documentation that will help you:
• Apply LabVIEW to Audio Signal Processing
• Get started with LabVIEW
• Obtain a fully-functional evaluation edition of LabVIEW

The LabVIEW environment can be extensively customized, potentially leading to wide variation in the "look and feel" from one LabVIEW installation to the next. This module shows how to adjust your own LabVIEW installation so that its behavior matches that shown in the screencast videos used in the "Communication Systems Projects with LabVIEW" series.

Adjustments are required in three places:

  1. "Tools | Options..." dialog boxes, including paths, front panel, block diagram, debugging, fonts, and colors
  2. Block diagram palette view and visible categories
  3. Front panel palette view and visible categories

The Figure 1 screencast video shows each of the "options" dialog boxes in my LabVIEW installation. Pause the video after each dialog box, and adjust your settings to match. The dialog boxes for LabVIEW versions other than 8.5 will likely appear somewhat different.

The video continues by setting up the palette views and visible items for both the block diagram and the front panel. Again, pause the video as needed to give yourself time to make the necessary adjustments to your own LabVIEW installation.
