Binding Cursor Measurement Values to Step Parameters

When you display cursors on a graph of a signal, you can export the measurement values that appear in the cursor legend to use as step inputs, and you can bind those values to step parameters. Binding cursor measurements to step parameters can be useful when you want to use a very specific value for the parameter. For example, you might want to use the Subset and Resample step to create a subset of a signal. If you want the subset to begin at a specific point in the input signal, you can bind the x-value of a cursor on the input signal to the Start position parameter of the step.

Complete the following steps to bind a cursor legend value to a step parameter.

1. Add a signal to a graph display on the Data View tab, right-click the display, and select Visible Items»Cursors from the shortcut menu to display cursors and the cursor legend.
2. Right-click a cursor in the cursor legend and select Cursor Properties from the shortcut menu to display the Cursors page of the Display Options dialog box.
3. On the Cursors page, select the Measurements tab.
4. In the Cursor Measurements table, find the measurement you want to bind to the step parameter and click the button that appears in the Bind column to display the Binding Selection dialog box. This dialog box displays all the step parameters to which you can bind cursor measurements.
5. Place a checkmark in the checkbox next to the parameter(s) to which you want to bind the cursor measurement.
6. Click the OK button to close the Binding Selection dialog box and bind the cursor measurement to the parameter. LabVIEW SignalExpress places a checkmark in the Export checkbox for the measurement in the Cursor Measurements table.

Note  When you bind a cursor measurement to a step parameter, LabVIEW SignalExpress exports the cursor measurement automatically.

7. Click the OK button to close the Display Properties dialog box.

To undo binding a cursor measurement to a step parameter, follow the preceding steps until you display the Binding Selection dialog box. Remove the checkmark from the checkbox next to a parameter and click the OK button to undo binding the cursor measurement to the parameter.
