Locals will update much faster than property nodes , so , if you need to worry about speed you may want to look into the locals... Dan

I need to interface with the OBD system in a vehicle and i need real time data , i have no experience with OBD , does anyone have any experience and/or recommendations ?? thanks Dan

Hello Everyone I need to get a Laptop for some portable DAQ stuff we have to do from time to time.... does anyone have any recommendations or anything to stay away from ?? sorry all you Mac people but it has to be a windows based machine. Thanks Dan

well binary was my first thought and i think more than likely that is the route i will go , you would think that they would learn after a couple of times , but , they dont... i would rather keep them readable so i can debug them if needed , but , it is causing so many problems i need to do something.. thanks Dan

Without getting into too much detail .... i have a application that uses definition files , cal files and run files , these files are for the most part human readable , one of them i resorted to XML in the hopes of keeping the user from messing around with it... short of hiding or encrypting these files does anyone have a good way to keep the users from f***ing up my programs ?? sorry about the language but this is really starting to piss me off !!! there is no need to open these files outside of my application but they keep messing with them... the quote below is being highly re-inforced over here lately!!!!!! "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.(Rich Cook)" Dan

Hey have any of you boys in Austin ever caught Eric Johnson Live ??? www.ericjohnson.com

Nothing against PERL , but , that quote is hilarious !!!!! Dan

ok .... no problem i'll even soak it in beer before i send it.....

Thanks .... i will have a look at it , the software that came with our Ricoh scanner has been a problem for me ever since we got the thing and i have been wanting to change the way we do it.... Dan

i tried to download the Demo version but the link doesn't seem to go anywhere......... Dan

here it is in LV7 Download File:post-114-1160070159.vi

Will this work for you ? Download File:post-114-1160065874.vi

Does anyone have an Xmodem VI before i start working on one ?? Dan

i figured several people would know the reference.... it must only be the PDS peopel who got the nifty carrying case.... i wish they would have put the LV version on the outside of the box ....

"The new phone books are here , the new phone books are here" from a Steve Martin movie.... anyhow , i just received all 3 FDS SSP upgrades today so they are shipping... Dan

in the past i always received the SSP upgrade very quickly , sometimes before it was even announced , this time i havent received anything yet , i was told by NI i would see it by the end of the month. i am using the downloaded version for now. Dan

Is it possible to change the default location of the Instr.lib and User.lib directories ? it sure would be nice to have those on the network so that when i change LV versions all i have to do is point to them. If i could create virtual directories in XP i would do that , but , i dont think i can do that unless i am running a server version. Dan

i may just have to do that if it doesnt show up soon as i have a project i want to try using OOP with.... thanks

Well maybe you guys at NI should stop taking holidays off andd get to work on this stuff .... sounds interesting , now if i could only get my hands on 8.2 , i am anxiously waiting... Dan

does SSP membership cover the upgrade to 8.2 ? i would have thought it would but i havent seen anything yet... DAn

out of curiosity why the sequence ? why not just wire the error output from the property node to the while loop ?

Albert yep get the same thing here.... LV8.0.1 Win XP SP2.... you can start to see it at a thickness of 2. Dan

Well on my machine i updated an I32 in a for loop 100000 times , the results : updating the terminal : 0.00021 Seconds updataing via local : 0.00032 Seconds updating via Value Property 0.25845 Seconds Dan

I posted this to Info-Labview Chris It appears to be a permission problem... if you copy the nidaqmx.ini file to c:\ and edit the "NI-DAQmx.ApplicationStorageFile" parameter in the apps .INI file to point to the c:\NI-DAQmx.ini , it should work. Dan

several years ago i had a DAQ application that required me to push the CPU to the limit before i did any analysis/display of the data , i ended up using Queue's along with /TCP/IP to push the data to a second PC that did all the analysis/display/storage. just another idea.... Dan
