Good news if you own NI stock. Not sure about customers.

National Instruments Corp. said Friday that its board of directors has initiated a review and evaluation of strategic options, in consultation with its financial and legal advisors.

How do you handle scaling?

Heh ... You're really going to like today's announcement.

Where the sessions recorded?

Are you using some kind of source code control?

I had missed the talk, is it possible to watch it on demand?

They said that the presentations would be available later, but they aren't yet. Probably because there are still live ones today.

Better autowire sounds trivial, but could be a time saver.

Noticed that everyone has a rank "Newbie" next to their picture. New update to the forum software?

I'm a bit perplexed by this one:

source: https://www.ni.com/fr-ca/events/niweek/faq.html

It turns out that the two day event is actually four hours, so not much room for non-marketing content.

Registration is now open.

Another year without LAVA BBQ

And they're changing the name to "NI Connect".

Are Italian LV developers more prone to producing spaghetti code?

🤨

Are Swiss more likely to have holes in their code? I hoped you aren't cheesed by this comment.

I'm starting to wonder if this decision was driven by the New NI that we learned about earlier this year and NI's updated vision of selling turn key systems instead of software and hardware that enabled engineers and independent system integrators.

I am glad that didn't ve time to install NXG 😀

The boot time was almost worse than the install time.

When do we get vector graphics in LV?

I've heard good things about Duplicati (https://www.duplicati.com/). I haven't implemented it yet, but it's on my list of things to do. It runs on Windows, Linux, and MacOS, so it can be run on a NAS to backup to the cloud.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but have you looked at the "Input Device Control" VIs? See the example "Monitoring Keyboard and Mouse Activity.vi"

Personally, I don't mind the logo, or the colour scheme. I prefer the old colours and logo, but no one likes change do they

What I resented a little bit is that the webcast has been promoted for about a month, promising 'something extraordinary'

In my opinion what was delivered wasn't extraordinary, it was 50 minutes of my life that I won't get back. It offered no value to NI's customers, brought no knew knowledge to the table and just felt like was repeatedly been hit in the face with a PR and marketing hammer.

There isn't a problem promoting the amazing things people do with LabVIEW, but it doesn't need such a song and dance. I would have preferred to have seen an open discussion about this 100 year plan that NI mentioned, what areas they are going to focus on in the coming years, how they are planning the transition between current gen and NXG LV.

A lot of our careers are pretty heavily tied to NI, we aren't impressed by marketing hot air, we just want to be efficiently kept in the loop regarding what NI is doing and how it is going to affect our companies. (I say 'we', that's my opinion, but I would be surprised if I was the only one who thought this)

 

Thank you. You stated my opinion of yesterday's event very well. I'm still mad that I sat through that entire webcast waiting for something more informational than a new logo and slogan. 

Why post a critical remark to what looks like a homework question from 2.5 years ago? Acquiring electrical current data is not the challenge of this problem which is very doable with the correct hardware. The challenge is knowing when the current exceeds the "Time-Current Characteristic Curve". The curve defines for a given current level how much time passes before an over-current occurs. The higher the current the quicker the reaction time, but the shapes can vary.

This is the way i did it.

Seems to work ok

Broke it down into an array and then concat it back together with just the pieces i wanted.

One caveat , when it strips it out, it looses the  ":" colon in C drive, so concat a constant with it.

Thanks for the suggestions. Been a few years since i have worked with LV and getting back into the swing 

 

Is there a reason you're not using the actual "Strip Path" and "Build Path" functions? These allow you to manipulate the path, platform independent. No worries about slash direction and appending the root.

Why are you using UDP if lost packets aren't acceptable? Even if you are on a closed network, there is no guarantee that all the packets get through. Sounds like you should be using TCP.

Also, NXG 3.0 is available through NI Package Manager.

I see the release data is still 11/14/18, hmm...  

It now shows "Release date: 12-03-2018"

I've purchased my ticket. Looking forward to another NI Week.
