A guesstimate is not a guess. It is an estimate without having all the facts. As Order Of Growth is a simplified relational analysis and usually only denotes a upper bound; it is a "guesstimate" however much maths you put around it. It is a very crude way of describing processes.

Perhaps you are just more use to the older terminology of "guesstimate"

It was a "play on words". Intelligent? Me? Naaah. I write LabVIEW programs. If I was intelligent I'd write Malbolge.

I bet you say that to all the boys

Have you got a CAR number?

No. As Phillip states. It is not a modem and therefore does not use Modem hardware signalling.

Not even a week and there's a patch?

Are you trying to open the port on the LabVIEW side twice? You can only open a port once or, more specifically, you can only bind one socket. If you are trying to "multicast" then you must use a multicast address, however, you will still open only one socket.

Use the VISA property node.

This is quite common so I wouldn't feel too left behind. Moving to a newer version represents a significant project risk and if/when you upgrade (which should be for a very good reason rather than there is just a new one) it's better to let other people find all the bugs/issues and any work-arounds for them. I'm still on 2009 which is far more stable and performant than than 8.6 (and, anecdotally/arguably, more performant than everything to date) and I'm waiting for a feature list or bug list that warrants an upgrade. However. Back to toolbars. The change was made in 2011. 2009 and 2010 both have the (much better IMHO) standard 3D button bar.

Woah. Cats resurfaced. That's worth a "like" in itself

Unbundle the error cluster after the Error Message Dialogue VI and "OR" it with the stop button to terminate the loop. The loop will then stop if there is an error or if you press the stop button.

So. Whats the verdict?. Likey, likey?

Why Do I Get Windows Error 1303 When Installing NI Software?

Hmmm. In 2009 and 2010 it was max 8 per exec, per priority irrespective of the number of cores. Max 200+1 in total. I've just looked in 2011 (I rarely use it) and indeed you seem to be right; you can set 20. However, it can be set to 20 on both my Quad core (8) and my dual core (4) so I think they just bumped up the limit rather than made it scalable in accordance with number of cores.

The maximum is 8 per execution system, per priority. You can get your twenty by spreading them over 3 execution systems (for normal priority)

+1 for JSON.(strings) Strict typing is for wimps.

Some pragmatic info here. This is a bit outdated but still a good base reference.

Nope. Why do you need a cache for prefs? (let the OS do that) Kind of defeats the object.

No. I use a database (SQLite) nowadays for preferences.

You can still use a Get method. Just you have to make it a singleton (which is the default for a VI, but you have to program it for classes-e.g use a DVR).

Wiring through error clusters (if they exist) is recommended since if someone wires them up it will clear any errors on the wire from previous operations which is unexpected bahaviour.
