Create»Common Control Panel
A common control panel contains controls that are common to all functions represented by function panels in the function panel window. Common control panels are useful only when you have multiple function panels in the function panel window. Controls on the common control panel appear as the first parameter of every function associated with a function panel window. A function panel window can contain only one common control panel. You could use a common control with an instrument driver that allows multiple instruments of the same model type to exist on a GPIB board. In this case, the common control panel can contain a control that is an index to specify which instrument is addressed.

Note In general, National Instruments recommends that you have only one function panel per window and no common control panels. |
