    Sorry, I can't enjoy that one.

    At least not if I want to use my favorite browser Firefox. :(

    It seems to work in MSIE, but I don't like that browser. :throwpc:

    Do others have the same problem, or is it just my Firefox that can't load this site?

    Works just fine in my Firefox, are you saying you can't use firefox for youtube videos? try installing/adding a plugin for flv players.

  2. I don’t post a lot, but I have been a member for a while now. I think the fact that this forum is good place to post interesting and advanced topics, has made me stick around. So as far as I know everyone here goes out of their way to answer posts, and I think they should be commended for it.

    Some observations I have had with these two new members, maybe these thing I am saying will ring a bell to others. Also if others See this they may benefit or not.

    Their typing is their Chat-Like typing, reminds me of my little cousin playing video-games. Whenever I see this I ignore the whole post, make mental note and if repeated ignore the user all together. If this typing is because of English language then over time I would realize that fact and would be okay with it.

    They keep on saying they are working on a project (emphasizing on project) kind of leading to a work-related projects, like most people here. But when you read the questions you know it is some school assignment, so you already getting a feeling of being lied to. Again this is my opinion.

    The questions are none-stop. Again that is okay with me, I don’t answer but I get the feeling that they are trying to get a passing mark in course without paying their dues.

    So If I am wrong I apologize. I think a well written introduction of their status would make all my point go away.

  3. I've got this amd64 Dell pc, and right now it's running xp32, but it's not very stable. I'm thinking about putting XP64 on it, but I am not too sure what to expected.

    Has anyone got any experience in XP64 and NI products? From hardware perspective , what kind of support/products are there from NI?

    I appreciate any insights.

    Thanks

  4. Not to take anything away from Jim, but to add to his post.

    If you like SVN, here is a quick way of setting up a SVN server for your Windows machines:

    All you will need is cygwin distribution. cygwin is Unix/Linux commands for window, it also contains Xserver and other stuff as well. When I get any new computer cygwin is the first thing I put on it. you can download it from cygwin.com.

    These instructions will install the SVN server as a service on your windows, meaning the compter can run headless in a corner somewhere with minimum administration. Once the service is up and running you can use TortoiseSVN as your client and use the SVN user manual:

    once you have downloaded and installed cygwin, follow these steps:

    Assumptions:

    c:\Cygwin - cygwin installation directory

    d:\SVN_Repositories - SVN repository folder for your projects

    1: Go to Run (Start | Run) and type: c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe

    2: in the opened bash command window type:

    2.1: svnadmin create D:\\SVN_Repositories

    2.2: cygrunsrv --install SvnServe --chdir D:\\SVN_Repositories --path c:\\cygwin\\bin\\svnserve.exe --args "--foreground --daemon --root=/cygdrive/d/SVN_Repositories" --desc "Subversion System" --neverexits

    3: Run the "SvnServe" Service from the control-panel ( Services): Only for the first time

    4: To access the project in your SVN repositories:

    Actual Folder path: d:\SVN_Repositories\ProjectLAVA

    svn checkout path: svn://ComputerName/ProjectLAVA

    Enjoy!

  5. The best way to interface Java and LabVIEW is a client/server type application. Java-Client, LabVIEW-Server.

    QUOTE

    Obviously Java is a bad choice for sending and receiving data to the module, so I have done some research and it appears that LabVIEW is one of the best options when it comes to testing and implementation for devices like this module that uses a serial port to comunicate with my computer.

    Two questions, one comment:

    1: Why is it a bad idea to talk to your module in Java if you are only communicating serially?

    2: If you communicating serially to your modules then what benefit is LabVIEW going to provide over any other language?

    Just stick to one language if you can and avoid complication of introducing multiple languages.

  6. Blame it on the sequence structure!

    Are you connecting to this VI while it is executing on the RT system? If so, I'm not sure it would exit the LabView development environment... Besides, I'm not even sure what that function is supposed to do in an RT environment...

    I am just pointing out the obvious:

    Is that the only function you have in the last frame? Do you also close the front-panel in the last frame? make sure you don't run into race condition, close the FP first then call the function.

  7. Besides, since we at LAVA always use good style and never do things like unnamed elements or fail to use unique names in our clusters or other programming faux-pas we won't have this problem, will we? :D *

    This is an issue is if you have a Cluster Point (int X, Int Y) or Cluster Resolution (int X,int Y)

    Now this naming is quite common practice. But if you now have some objects (Clusters)

    that use the above(point or Resolution ) as parameters, then you are going to run into Problems. I am speaking of this as unbundle by name is now a bug in LabVIEW ever since I can remember. So maybe you can get it right.

  8. With this VI I am only pointing out exclusive write access to data. Inside the VI you can use ini or xml or databse to save your data to disk. I have used/using sqlite3 (using openg variants to save LabVIEW objects to sqlite3.). Also if you have a giant Cluster and pass it to openg's cluster to INI it will be saved in one action.

    But I often browse the INI file with ini-aware text editor and grouping items makes it easier to browse.

  9. I agree that it can get complicated, but what I have is a ‘dt’ input, which is the time taken for the last (loop iteration or task sub-loop). This ‘dt’ value then is used to estimate the remaining time by multiplying it by the amount of steps remaining. The value does jump up/down a few seconds but in general it gives good estimate. Even in windows I haven't seen a very accurate implementation, unless you are well aware of the nature of the task. Also I only do it for the current tasks and I don't try for the remaining tasks in the queue.

    The above method doesn't have to be tested separately on a developer and use it statistical data.
