I’m currently reading thru a book entitled “Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teamsâ€, which up to where I’m at is basically addressing the concept of managing people as people and not as resources. I am finding the book to be very interesting and thought provoking. A large emphasis of what I’ve read up to this point has been focused on employee job satisfaction and overall project/team effectiveness as it relates to it. After reading this I began to think about job satisfaction and what it meant to me personally and how job satisfaction is something that takes on a different meaning to everybody. So I thought that one of the best ways to get feedback on job satisfaction would be to simply ask. As an employee, what are some of the things that make you more satisfied with your job? Is it pay, project diversity, atmosphere, growth opportunities or something else entirely? This could be something where you work now, where you’ve worked in the past or just something that you recognize as being meaningful to you. How about for those of you that are also an employer? What are some of the activities, policies, practices or beliefs that you use to help increase job satisfaction? What about some of the things that as an employee/employer that has directly related to a decrease in job satisfaction? I’d really appreciate any feedback / input that you can all provide. I want to learn how others in our industry specifically feel about these topics so that I can help to create a better work environment for myself, my co-workers, and my employee’s.

If you send me a nice modern Mac I might be able to work on that. My experiments with a MacOSX installation under Virtual Box were pretty abdominal.

Haven't seen them anywhere and the friendly search engine has no clue too. However the presentation material is available: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-36232

You could write for each its own VI library and then dynamically load whatever .Net DLL interface you want to have at the moment through VI server or even more elegantly LVOOP dynamic dispatch.

Hi Vivante I can't open your code because i'm always in LV 2011. But i have worked two days ago on same problem. Perhaps it's about the origine of the front panel (grey cross ) . Each controls positions are calculated from to this origine (and not the top-left corner of front panel). When you start with new vi , in general the origine and the top-left corner of front panel are similar. But when you copy the contents of vi to another, you can place it anywhere, and in this case the origine is certainly far from the top-left corner of front panel. The exact formule to know the good position of one control with the top-left corner of screen is : for Top : ( FP: PanelBounds:Top) + (Control: MasterRectangle:Top) - (Pane: Origine: Vertical) for Left : ( FP: PanelBounds:Left) + (Control: MasterRectangle:Left) - (Pane: Origine: Horizontal) You can find one very good paper about positions and dimensions here:: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-22385 Another things to know is the origine is defined for one pane. In general , you use only one, but sometimes you need to have several panes. To know the good position, you will need know from which pane your control are. For that you can use this vi : https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-8360 Good week-end

Great question, and Peopleware is a great book. For me, once my low level Maslow needs are met its all about fulfilling work that makes me feel like I'm growing and making a valuable contribution. I'm an avid reader, I enjoyed Peopleware. I'd say the definitive book on this in recent years is Drive by Dan Pink, well worth a read if motivation at work interests you. Martin
