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.

For Username: NIWeek2012 Password: f7aPadl6 Please Note: You will not be able to access the FTP through a web browser! You MUST use an FTP Software Client to access the FTP. To access the ftp.distek.com please use your FTP software client: Client FTPS settings Hostname: ftp.distek.com Port: 990 Client Settings for SFTP using ssh ftp.distek.com Port 22 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

Not with the Windows Message Queue library as is, but the use of LVPostUserEvent() as mentioned by ned would certainly make that easy. I'll see if I can have a go at it. It would in fact simplify the DLL part enormously, since the whole queue handling in the C code can go away, as the user event will handle that internally.

Many of the slides for the presentations can be found at https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/niweek-2012?view=documents

I suggest you take a look a the article listed here, interesting comparison between SVN, Mercurial, Git and Bazaar before making a choice. Hope this helps

There's a really handy couple of VIs in vi.lib\sound2\lvsound.llb: 1. Get Num Devices - this lists the number of input and output devices in your system 2. Sound Device Info - returns the *NAME* of the sound device associated with a number I normally use #1 to set N on a for loop, and populate a ring control with the names out of #2. Shaun
