LabVIEW Wiki: We've updated the LabVIEW Wiki to the latest MediaWiki supported version (1.16). Changed the skin to the latest one which is also used on Wikipedia and MediaWiki. It's very clean and modern. Added a reCAPTCHA extension to trap bot registrations. Also added a bunch of other extensions to hopefully reduce spam pages which we've been getting lately. Removed the wysiwyg editor because it was adding bad formatting to pages. Replaced the editor with the new one used on MediaWiki and Wikipedia. It's better than the plain wikitext editor and has some cool help features built-in to assist with editing when you forget the syntax. LAVA Code Repository (CR): Updated to the latest version which adds a bunch of cool features: New imroved landing page. Which highlights code better and allows for "Featured" main entry. Built in version number feature. Now, there is a built-in feature for version numbers. Before we had to add a custom field for this. We are slowly deprecating the use of the old field. New Changelog feature. Now there is a field for changelogs. So with every new version of your file, you can fill in the changelog and LAVA CR keeps track of it. No need to put his in your description section anymore. It also gives you a summary page with a complete changelog history. Old feature but worth mentioning: You can submit multiple files. When the user clicks the download button, they are presented with an option to download one or more files associated with your submission. With this version, we now have the ability to provide free or paid tools on LAVA. If anyone is interested in selling their tools. please send an email to support@lavag.org. In addition to the above changes, the LAVA team is always tweaking and adjusting things behind the scenes to make your stay here more enjoyable. As always, we welcome feedback.

For now it's stuff that I feel needs to be featured.

Name: Variant Probe Submitter: Ton Plomp Submitted: 03 Jul 2009 File Updated: 24 Aug 2012 Category: Custom Probes LabVIEW Version: 2011 License Type: BSD (Most common) Variant Probe V2.4.1 Copyright © 2012, Ton Plomp All rights reserved. Author: Ton Plomp tcplomp@gmail.com Distribution: This code was downloaded from: http://lavag.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=19 Description: A custom probe to put on a variant. It will create a tree based on the variant data, and populate the tree with the data, the attributes of the variant will be shown as well. The datatype description will determine the color of the tree items. Historical data is available as well. Version 2.0 introduces a Variant Tree XControl which can be used in any project. Located under the user.lib palette, it gives great flexibility to the programmer. The programmer has the possibility to give the end user permissions for the following actions: -Reset This will reset the whole tree contents -Traverse Variant Attributes This will enable/disable the traversion of variant attributes -Colorize This will enable/disable coloring of the actual datatype All of these customizations are available as properties/methods for the actual XControl as well, or you access them (while the owning VI is in edit mode) via the short cut menu. Installation method 1: Install the OGP file using VIPM (www.jkisoft.com/vipm) and you have a custom VariantProbe and xcontrol To use it add a probe to a variant datatype or to an array of variants. It can pause if the data changes, and will notify you if a change happens. Dependencies: The following OpenG packages should be installed: oglib_string>=2.6 oglib_lvdata>=2.8 oglib_comparison>=2.3 oglib_error>=2.0 Known issues: Is slow on large variants. Support: If you have any problems with this code or want to suggest features: http://lavag.org/index.php?showtopic=10269 Version History: 2.4.1: Fixed issue #132: An array inside another array crashes the probe/XControl 2.4: Immediate updating after changing of attributes Rebuild in LabVIEW 2011 2.3: Fixed a bug that caused attributes not to be traversed on certain data-types 2.2: Fixed a relinking bug 2.1: Fixes a bug where unnamed cluster elements where used (http://lavag.org/topic/10269-discuss-variantprobe/page__view__findpost__p__67677) 2.0: Added an XControl Show XControl in palette (under user.lib controls) Add coloring Add 'user permissions' on XControl Add Reset on XControl Add optionally traversing attributes on XControl Add optionally colorizing on XControl Add optionally restting on XControl 1.2.0: Upgraded to LabVIEW 8.5 to use inheritance Support for Waveforms, timestamps and dynamic datatypes (thanks to Osvaldo) Added probe for an array of Variants Distributed as one .llb and added OGP installer If a Variant hasn't changed it's not decomposed (optimization) 1.1.0: Support for attributes of variants 1.0.1: Controls placed on a seperate pane Resize tree to upper pane Hide unused columns Limited maximum history length (default 10) Window resizable 1.0.0: Initial release of the code.

I’d just like to announce that a new video has been posted, in parallel to the Seven Steps to Robot Success. This video is titled: Exploring the Default Autonomous Code, and it will involve · An explanation of Line Follower Code · A live demonstration of default autonomous code It is located in the same dropdown tab as the 2011 FRC Seven Steps to Robot Success, so feel free to check those out as well.

Yeah, sure - LabView is just the tool for it No, I need to see if there is anything on my TCP connection without actually disturbing the incoming data in any way. Br, Miha

You could also use graph cursors or annotations, and position them just under your bars. That would look decent enough if you set the Yscale min to -1 rather than zero, and then you could put the labels at Y = 0.5 or something. You'd fill the bars down to zero rather than down to -infinity. You would have a few compromises with the appearance, but the zooming &c.would all work. Bar Graph With X Labels.vi
