Engineers and scientists are generally really bad liers....a pre-requisit for politicians.

I think that those of us who are logical thinkers and tend to be more pragmatic would not be interested in doing things just to score political points, which means that we wouldn't get very far in politics.

Politics is my favorite spectator sport. AND BOY haven't we had a lot of action going on this year?! The hits just keep on coming. Anyway, my first thought is that engineers are not known for their people skills. I don't mean that in a negative sense at all. I for one would much rather work with other engineers on "stuff" than work with people working on people, sucking up to them for their money and/or their votes. I think most engineers know deep down that they are too good for that type of work.

This is faster:

Hi Sharon, I think this should be possible with scripting, but if I take a closer look at your example problem, I would prefer a different solution. It seems that you need a variable number of timers (including reset and enable functions or so). My preferred first approach would be a functional global VI where you can handle all the settings of each timer within the uninitialized shift registers. You may then use this timer VI at different places on your block diagram for initializing the timers, resetting, en-/disabling, evaluating them. An improved solution could be made with LabVIEW classes. Regards, Frank

Were you thinking something like this? {is a VI snippet for dropping into an 09 BD} http://screencast.com/t/k0kAwTitY delme.vi This code is intended to be run as an asynchronously running VI (IOW outside of any loop) All this does is adds the control name to the right click menu, but really since now you can capture the menu activation and add to the list, the world is your oyster. I'm really thinking some LVOOP could work wonders here. (side note: as with any asynchronously running VI, the termination process is always a gotcha, but I'm sure you'll figure out an elegant way around that)
