Oh my goodness, he started another thread here...

Asharma: Please do not cross post to multiple forums. Post all your responses to this particular thread and not the other thread

I guess I should have elaborate more. I like the idea of beeing able to get rid off some post in a "sand box" as Tomi put it, or in an some other place. I don't necessary have to be the one doing it.

Hi,

I've an improvement suggestion to the forum. Let's add a new button besides "Quote" and "Reply". Pressing this button would post an automatic reply to the post that states that the post was not informative enough and guides how to post to LAVA the right way, locks the thread, moves it to new "sand box" forum and emails the poster about the change. The button would be available for premium members only to avoid misusage by Nulllllls and alike. Perhaps a "hand with thumb down" would be a good icon for this new button.

I like this idea.

PJM

I'll be original there: I couldn't agree more.

PJM

Thanks for the feedback.

If there are unsupported data type, may be the help for "TDMS Get Property" should be updated to reflect that.

Is there any other unsupported types?

PJM

Good catch.

Thanks for the bug fix too.

By the way, there is also a bug in TDMS Get Property when type input is a complex number (CXT Type).

PJM

There is a bug in the TDMS Get Property when type input is a complex number (CXT Type). Trying to connect the CXT data type to the data type input and a string to the property name input keep braking either one of the wire.

Note: It is sometime possible to get it connected through some undo combination but the the type does not propagate to the property value output in any situation.

I did experienced the very same bug (Broken VI Tree used to make a source distribution) while using OpenG builder a few weeks ago. I though this was an OpenG Builder Bug. This is apparently not the case.

Thanks PJM,

I wasn't even sure that LabVIEW could run. Do you know if NI-Vision,IMAQ can be run? Since their data are in form of pointers. As for NI drivers , I more convinced that they will not work, unless some thunking is done.

Sorry, I have no information about imaq or ni-Vision. My use case required to have DAQmx working, so this is where I spent my energy at the time. May be others will have more info.

PJM

I made a reader as well based again on the OpenG Variant Configuration Tools.

PJM

Note: The attached llb does not required that the OpenG tools to be installed.

I just tried it a couple week ago with LabVIEW 8.20

LabVIEW 8.20 run fine but you can't install the device drivers (even manually).

For example I was unable to get DAQmx to work.

So unless things have been changed with LV 8.2.1, I would recommend that you do not do it.

PJM

Modifying the OpenG Variant Configuration Tools works like a charm. I quickly made a writer based on the write ini cluster.

PJM

VariantDataToTDMS.llb

Here is a .ctl file -- a borderless cluster. How did I build it? I hacked around in the debugger. But the resulting .ctl file passes all sanity checks and should be usable.

The control file is saved in LV8.0.

Stephen,

Thank You Very Much! I Have been bitching about this for years.

You have earned at least one :beer: at NI week.

PJM.

Note1: Funny thing is I have a use case for this right now.

Note2: As Jim mentioned it is not borderless but I can live with one pixel border (<=> 2pixels separation between array elements).

PJM

As other have mentioned before, NI has outdone themself with the readme file for this LabVIEW update.

We finally have access to the entire bug fixes list. Kudo NI :thumbup:

Here it is: The LabVIEW 8.2.1 http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5424

A side Note: To have both the user name and the user serial number on the envelop does not seem to be the most secure thing to do...

Also, updating ring strict type def does NOT propagate to the block diagram constant by default (see this thread for more info).

What's the benefit of this method over real LV2 style globals or over using queus directly? If I'd like to encapsulate the functionality of a queue, I'd rather encapsulate it into a LVClass.

Tomi

None that I know of. I just put it there for fun. Since it would never occured to me to use a for loop, I start to look for other ways that I could have missed. You can call it the obfuscated LV2 Global.

Countdown (game show)

As a side note, this game seem to be based on the french one called "Des chiffres et des lettres" (loosly translate as "Words and Numbers"). This game show has been going on in France for ever (apparently since 1972).

PJM

Just to get the discussion going, here is another style of "LV2 global" (I dont think it can be call this anymore in this situation, but ...).

I am sure that Stephen is going to like this one

Norm, I think its an issue with your configuration.

Three breakpoints on this diagram:

http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5389

The outermost will break when the VI is called as a subVI.

The outside of the loop will break when the loop is first hit.

The inside of the loop will break on each iteration of the loop.

hmm...
