Tabs appear in the primary view in the default LabVIEW SignalExpress environment layout. Use the tabs to display data, configure steps and operations, document projects, and view errors, warnings and notifications.

Each tab has a specific functionality, and you do not need to use every tab for every project. Select a tab from the View menu to display the tab. Click the X, or Close button, or right-click a tab and select Close from the shortcut menu to close a tab.

Note  With the exception of the Data View tab, closed tabs retain any information you enter prior to closing the tab. For example, closing the Project Documentation tab does not erase the documentation you enter on the tab.

LabVIEW SignalExpress includes the following tabs:

• Event Log—Displays events such as errors, warnings, and alarms that occur in LabVIEW SignalExpress. For each event, the Event Log tab displays the severity of the event and the time the event occurred, as well as the source and title of the event, if known.
• Data View—Displays signals and data from steps in graphs, charts, and other display formats.
• Recording Options—Configures logging operations.
• Project Documentation—Displays documentation that you create for the current project. You can enter text, import images, and drag signals from the Project View to the Project Documentation tab.
• Step Setup—Configures steps in the project.

Note  Some programs, such as NI-DAQmx, install additional tabs.
