I'm really excited to announce that VI Shots will be rebranding and relaunching soon with new LabVIEW content. I don't want to say anything right now since the site is currently in development. What I can say is that the content format will be video, which I love. Even though I have a plan for the content. It will be evolving over time based on your feedback. I would love to hear from all of you. What would you love to see as some of the content on the site? What LabVIEW related topics would you like to see covered? For example: OOP theory, DAQ Hardware setup, User Interface Design, Building Applications, Real-Time, Serial Instrument communication, LabVIEW 101... etc. Finally: Please sign up to get notified when the site is live here: http://vishots.com/relaunch.html Bonus: Those who sign up will get to see an exclusive preview of the content before the public launch. Thanks - Michael

I think this will accomplish what you are after...

This is a dataflow problem. When you split a wire, you split data. You've created a race condition where you carry the information on two wires, modify the data differently on both and then each one races to update the Array. Remember that LabVIEW is not using pointers to controls or indicators. Follow one wire and make each function work on the data previously modified by the node before. <object id="scPlayer" class="embeddedObject" width="630" height="378" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://content.screencast.com/users/normandinf/folders/Jing/media/40e1f056-bf17-46df-bd03-df951dffa53d/jingh264player.swf" > <param name="movie" value="http://content.screencast.com/users/normandinf/folders/Jing/media/40e1f056-bf17-46df-bd03-df951dffa53d/jingh264player.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /> <param name="flashVars" value="thumb=http://content.screencast.com/users/normandinf/folders/Jing/media/40e1f056-bf17-46df-bd03-df951dffa53d/FirstFrame.jpg&containerwidth=630&containerheight=378&content=http://content.screencast.com/users/normandinf/folders/Jing/media/40e1f056-bf17-46df-bd03-df951dffa53d/dataflow.mp4&blurover=false" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="scale" value="showall" /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /> <param name="base" value="http://content.screencast.com/users/normandinf/folders/Jing/media/40e1f056-bf17-46df-bd03-df951dffa53d/" /> <video width="630" height="378" controls="controls"><br /> <source src="http://content.screencast.com/users/normandinf/folders/Jing/media/40e1f056-bf17-46df-bd03-df951dffa53d/dataflow.mp4" type="video/mp4;" /><br /> <b>Your browser cannot play this video. <a href="http://www.screencast.com/handlers/redirect.ashx?target=viewingembededhelp">Learn how to fix this</a>.</b> </video> </object>

I think to some extent, yes we are walled off. I'm pretty ignorant of non NI hardware. To some extent it's intentional. My time is way to valuable to spend tackling the latest low-cost, low-support, low-functionality, low-extensibility system from some other vendor. I buy and work with NI because their hardware just works (usually). For me its an investment in a platform that is proven, stable, and reliable, with good support for both hardware and software.

Christina tweeted about these cool new DAQmx System Controls that SimonH has exposed in a palette. I really like these - so I have repackaged them so that they can be installed easily using VIPM. Thanks Simon! LabVIEW 8.5+ required. Enjoy! -JG jgcode_rpk_ni_system_style_daqmx_controls-1.0-1.ogp
