I want to let LAVA know about a feature of LV 2016 that may not get much press. The In-Place Element structure has a new pair of border nodes to let you access the attributes of a variant without copying them out of the variant. This will VASTLY improve the performance of tools that use variant attributes as lookup tables. I strongly encourage everyone who works on this to look at the shipping example: labview\examples\Performance\Variant Attribute Lookup Table\

LAVA has won an NI award for LUGnuts at NI Week, the largest independent online user group. Thank you everyone for making the online community something to be proud of.

You can also include a small blurb about your company and a link to your website in the post below. By donating a prize you and your company will receive a small announcement of your choosing, during the event. We will ask you to write the announcement on a post-it note and will attach it to the prize to be read before awarding it. We love the door prizes, but we love time for socializing too. Here are some guidelines to keep our event balanced and streamlined. We would prefer a single item donation. If donating more than one item, then multiple identical items is strongly preferred. So we don't spend our time on a flood of refrigerator magnets, please donate something valued at $25 or more. If donating non-tangible items or something that is not physically with you, then please bring a card with your contact info and instructions on how to collect the prize. This will be given to the winner. All prizes are acceptable except those listed below (examples from last year): Not recommended: Apparel (hats, t-shirts, underwear etc) Branded trade show booth type giveaways (mouse pads, pens, keychains etc) Software licenses (Toolkits, add-ons, LabVIEW) Jokes or something meant as a gag and not a real prize. Hope to see you there! Chime in once you buy tickets to let everyone know you're coming.

Half of me: yay! finally! this is great! Other half: yet another IPE thing I have to do to get good performance

XNET can do periodic frames well; I've done this with the PCI card. The database of frames contains the intervals to send them. As I recall loading the database was all that was needed. Setting the frame values changed what was being periodically sent.

I'll be there doing the photography again! Hopefully Martha can make it this year too. I'll try to post a link to last years photos here too.
