Delacor is donating a copy of "LabVIEW for Everyone" signed by esteemed LAVA members Lisa K. Wells (1st ed author), Jeffrey Travis (1st & 2nd ed author) and Jim Kring (2nd ed author) as a door prize at the LAVA/OpenG BBQ!
Thanks to Delacor for continuing to support the LabVIEW community!
OK, I finally finished a version of a document I have been promising to write. We put it on our site: OOMessagingCommandPatternStatePattern.
In it we present examples of the following in LabVIEW:
messaging with LabVIEW objects
Command Pattern (with XML configuration files application example)
State Pattern
Hopefully the examples will be helpful to some readers, and promote further discussion on scalable application architectures.
If you are reading this from an INI file, then the symbol should be an upper case 'W'. If your default font in Notepad set to Symbol, it will APPEAR as the character Omega.
If your INI file contains other units (Watts for example) then you may not be able to differentiate between Ohms and Watts. It might be better to spell out the units rather than using the abbreviation. You could then use the Match Pattern or Match Regular Expression nodes to look for Ohms or Watts.
If you want info on displaying and formatting of Greek symbols in LabVIEW (specifically Omega) see this post on the NI forums...
