You read the address then mask (and) the bit you are interested in to get that state. You will notice that the bits are 2^n so each bit represents the state of an output/input. So to get the state of "Control Contact 4", read the word at 0x026 then AND the result with 0x8. If it is greater than 0 (1), it is on; 0 it is off.

During my time at NI Week I decided to bring my video camera and record the presentations, Tech Theater and LAVA BBQ. Please see this link for Video downloads The IT department of my company was also kind enough to setup a ftp server so I could share them with the community It took a while to figure out how to compress the 5GB HD .mts files to a more distributable avi format but with the help of crelf I finally got them compressed and uploaded to the ftp sites. Vi Engineering and Distek Integration have also volunteered their ftp servers to help distribute the videos Thank you Chris and Ed for your help. The avi files can be downloaded from one of the 3 ftp sites they range in size from 150 to 300MB. I would strongly recomend using an ftp client to transfer them to your computer. A web browser may work but if you want to download multiple viedos the ftp client makes things much easier. To download videos from Distek they are requiring you to use an ftp client. My ftp client of choise is FileZilla and it is free. FileZilla can be downloaded at http://filezilla-project.org/ If you are unfamiliar with FileZilla there is a youtube tutorial video found here The video files are .avi and have been compressed using DivX If you player isn't able to play the videos you will need to install the free DivX codec found at http://www.divx.com/...plus/codec-pack to access the videos via Use this log in information ftp://frc.tecnova.com login: LabVIEW_Videos pw: LabVIEW login and password is case sensitive. if you are using Filezilla your site manager window will look like this.

If you have any issues downloading the videos or you are unable to view them please post to this topic. Enjoy, and hopfully the videos will help you learn something new about LabVIEW Mark

Consider this fairly typical scenario: You need to create an array of data. You know an upper bounds of how large that array can get. It's computationally expensive to determine the exact size you'll need before hand. Usually getting this done is just a matter of initializing an array to the boundary size, filling it in a loop, then truncating the array when I'm done my calculations and know the exact size. However, that's a fair amount of code, things can get a little messy when real calculations are being performed. I'm wondering if we use a conditional for loop, does the compiler produce pretty much the same operations? That is since the for loop is bounded by a Max Size, will the compiler initially allocate an array of that size, then truncate at the end? Or will the operation be analogous to indexing an output on a while loop where the array keeps growing as it needs resizing? Oops, I forgot to add bounds checking to the while loop snippet...you get the idea. Just imagine the conditional terminal had an additional AND operation in there to check the index, and the resize operation took into account whether the last iteration was successful or not.

Then find a Windows CD? Or search to see if you can download something from Microsoft to install the languages.

What you have circled in red would be the bit in the word you'd read. The address is 0x0026, though that may not be the actual address; you may have to hunt around for the actual starting address.

I've made CaseSelect into a Quick Drop plugin - https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-24058

That this happened is actually kind-of neat: it suggests the number of people taking up community editions of the GDS has exceeded Symbio's predictions. Yay! By the way, if you're reading this thread and don't know what the GDS is, have a look at it here. Then download and install it. Do it. Do it. Install it. Do it.

There seems to be a bug in the Modbus CRC calculation vi in the NI library. Replace it with the attached VI that I got from Steve Brooks on the NI website. MBcrc.vi

Hello to everybody being interested in LuaVIEW. I’m in the final stages of testing and finalizing a package for the Beta of LuaVIEW 2.0B1. This new release has a number of changes to the previous release but efforts have been made to keep it as compatible as possible to the last LuaVIEW release. Following characteristics are valid for this release: LabVIEW 7.1 or newer Uses Lua 5.1.5 as Lua engine (LuaVIEW 1.2 used Lua 5.0.3) The core library has been changed into a DLL/shared library Supports LabVIEW for Linux x86, Windows x86 and x64 Distributed as OpenG package, can be installed with the OpenG package installer or with VIPM This Beta is time limited and will stop working after the end of 2012. If no serious problems are found during the Beta test, the 2.0 release version is expected to be released around end of August. The release version will include runtime support for LabVIEW for Mac OS X and NI realtime systems (cRIO and Pharlap ETS). It will also include a binary module to access NI-VISA directly from within a Lua script for at least Windows. To receive a download link to the Beta package please send me a pm and specify which LabVIEW version and OS you plan to use with this Beta. Sincerely
