Well.... the way I do it currently is through LVx, which has become a bit of a black mark on my name here on LAVA because I still have never compiled it into a full package w/ some damn documentation.
...... If you're willing to climb up the learning curve w/ out them, then I'll pass along the most recent version if you setup a time in the evening that we can teleconf and I can walk you through .


Hi Norm,

after reading as much as I can here on LAVA and from last year's NI Week presentation on the JKI vs TLB SMs, I appreciate and would like to thank you all the work you have been doing on the TLB and LVx up until now.

I work at ResMed where I've been championing LabVIEW now for 8.5 years. I've actually been using and loving LV since '94 to be precise. For my last major project I used ExpressionFlow's QSM. A colleague and I at ResMed are having our own little head to head as we standardise on a State Machine architecture which satisfies many interesting and competing requirements.

My colleague has already warmed to the JKI SM to support his own template efforts to date however I am really keen to put forth the TLB + LVx as a worthy contender. If necessary I will teach myself how to use LVx should your examples/documentation not be ready, BUT just in case your efforts to remove that black mark are close to being finished I thought I'd first check here with you. Any ETA you have in mind ? Don't worry I won't hold you to it.

In the mean time I'm struggling to find the latest posted version of LVx. This version of LVx is dated Feb 2008 - like 3.3 years ago now !!! Do I also need to request some behind the scenes, off-the-record , skunk-works release of LVx as you offered Dave ?

happy wire working.

regards
Peter

Peter,
It's great to hear from you.

LVx has finally hit puberty and is ready to come out, but now as REx (Remote Exports)

I have a version of TLB created that gives a TLB w/ the REx core constructs built in as well.

I'm fighting the build process on VIPM for a few other work related things.
I'm putting a reminder on my calendar for 2 weeks out (vacation inbetween) to reply to this post w/ the version of REx and it's dependencies that I have along w/ some video.

Thanks for seeing the value in all of this and hope to hear from you soon

Norm,

FWIW, I'd like to hear about this as well as (kudos to JKI for all the wonderful work, truly!) I really don't want to have to deal with OpenG or VIPM, if it's possible; and I really liked what I heard during NI Week.

Have a great vacation! And I hope to see you i Austin again this year.

Could you explain me, why in 'Create New TLB' diagram you make a 'Creating' state instead of just simply use inside the case 'Create new' action 'Build New TLB'? I think that final effect would be the same.
What determined if we need to create new state instead of add new system trigger inside 'Idle' state?
