View File Scripting Tools lava_lib_LabVIEW_API_scripting_tools v0.22.1.21 by University of Leeds Author: Gavin Burnell Copyright: Copyright © 2007-2010, University of Leeds License: BSD Compatible LabVIEW Versions: >= 8.6. Compatible OS Versions: ALL. Description: This is a LabVIEW 8.6.1 Library of VIs to help with scripting. The public VIs include routines to get hold of the block diagram references, control terminal references, get the connector pane reference and select the connector pane pattern and wire controls up to it. There are a number of routines to help wire the block diagram up, including creating a selection of the primitives (I got bored of coding them all up !). I've stuck in some routines that work with tags - hidden away is the capability to tag LabVIEW vi-server objects with arbitary data. One possibility is to use this to identify bits of the block diagram of a vi for moving and rewiring via scripting. The scripting Tools includes a separate XNode support library that provides routines to help scripting and terminal adaptation in XNodes. There are some routines to help with undo transactions new to this release.

Name: Array Function XNodes Submitter: gb119 Submitted: 03 Jul 2009 Category: XNodes LabVIEW Version: 2012 License Type: BSD (Most common) lava_lib_LabVIEW_API_array_xnodes v1.4.3.36 by University of Leeds Author: Gavin Burnell Copyright: Copyright © 2014, University of Leeds License: BSD Compatible LabVIEW Versions: >= 2012. Compatible OS Versions: ALL. Description: Description: This is a collection LabVIEW 2012Sp1 XNodes. XNodes are a hidden and unsupported feature in LabVIEW >8.x. As such, this code may not necessarily work in versions of LabVIEW > 2013 and the technology is not supported by NI. On the otherhand they are really quite useful. Because XNodes are scripted at edit time they offer a form of polymorphism far superior to polymorphic vis as they will support any array type and not just ones that the developer has provided polymorphs for. This package contains the following XNodes: * Array Dimension Array This XNode operates in a fashion similar to the Array size primitive Xnode except that it always returns an array of sizes of dimensions. For a 1D array, this is an array with 1 element, for n-D arrays where n>1, this is the same as the primitive and for scalar inputs, returns a zero length array. * Array Dimension and Index * Array Size and Unbundle These are slightly different versions of the same XNode. It will take in an n-dimension array and return N I32 outputs with the dimensions of the input array. Array size and unbundle is perhaps the better named version. * Array Dimension This is equivalent to the Array Dimension Array coupled with an Index Array node to return as an I32 the specified dimension of the input array. If the specified dimension is greater than the dimensionality of the input array, -1 is returned. * Filter Array This XNode splits the input array into two sub arrays according to a boolean array input - one for elements where the boolean filter was true and the other where the filter was false. * Foreign Key Sort Sorts one array based on the sort order of a second array - useful when you have an array of items and an array of keys and you want the first array elements in order of their keys. * Shuffle Array The inverse of an array sort - randomises the order of the elements of an array. For 2D arrays it can randomise either the rows, columns or both rows and columns. * Unindex and Unbundle.xnode Performs the inverse of Index and Bundle Cluster Array. Takes an input array of clusters and un-indexes and unbundles each cluster and returns arrays of each element of the original clusters. This is equivalent to feeding a cluster array into a for loop with auto-indexing turned on, unbundling all elements, and wiring back out of a for loop with auto-indexing turned on in order to generate arrays of each element. * Minimum Array Size This XNode will take the input 1D array and either make it at least n elements long, or exactly n elements long. If additional elements are needed, the default value for the element is used and the new elements are appended to the end of the array. For the fixed-size variant, if elements are to be removed, they are removed from the end of the array. Known Issues: One of the palette entries is (a bit) broken: Array Dimension and Index appears as "Help" in the palette, but otherwise works fine. Click here to download this file

Every version of LabVIEW going back at least to 3.0 has had a bug fix release. There's nothing new about the 2009 one except that we called it a service pack. It's curious that you mention 8.6's stability. By the CAR count, 2009 was more stable than 8.6. But these sorts of things are subjective to the parts of LabVIEW that affect you daily, so different customers may have experiences that vary greatly from the objective count. In case you haven't heard, LV 2011 is going to be largely a stability release. The entire LV team, acting on requests from customers, is going to pull back on features, focusing on bugs, performance and integration between existing features. There will be very little that is new in LV 2011, but we think customers will want it nonetheless.
