The JKI State Machine Plugin........ The quickest way to turn a dataflow language into a procedural one

Engineers and scientists are generally really bad liers....a pre-requisit for politicians.

Naaah. I don't have those Now that IS worth a point.

The other downside is.....its activex

Nice. How much faster?

Saved for 8.0. It might be an idea to set your labview version in your profile so that people know what version you are using.

Ta very muchly I doubt it would be that soon. I'm off on holiday for quite a while soon:) And I've lost my momentum now I know I can't change my title at 500

So subtle, I never saw it before Indeed. I don't think a speech impedement qualifies as a "pun"

Hmmm. I've rewritten this post several times now, because there are so many aspects to what you are trying to acheive, I don't know where to start!. The first point that strikes me is that you are a victim of your own success. You have made yourself a "keyman" - an indispensible resource without whom projects cannot succeed. Whilst this is desirable from a job security point of view, when successful, you inevitably run out of resource (you). You obviously realise this and take the next logical decision to obtain more resource. so far so good. So you have identified some more resource.....students They will make the bits you need to make the projects. Sounds good, but is it? If it were a sub-contract software house or highly skilled, experienced engineering team, then yes, it would work since they know thier onoins and you can decide the granularity of the sub-components dependent on how much you want (or how much time you have) to be involved in the detail. Effectively, you would be recinding your "keyman" status and moving from a sole "deveoper" to a "team leader/manager". You could distribute small functions right up to complete applications dependent on your loading all under the watchful eye of your experience. and guide the project through to completion. But you have students (lots of 'ology' students at that, by the sounds of it). Inexperienced, un-trained, possibly un-receptive but none-the less cheap In addition to deveoping the projects, you will also have to teach, correct and probably re-write a whole shedload of code adding to your loading rather than alleviating it. Effectively you are still the "keyman". You have relinquished a bit of the boring stuff that would take you 1 day, in exchange for using resource that will use (say) 5 days of training, 2 days of correcting and a further day to write it the way it should have been Sure in 3 months time, they might (if thay stick at it) actually be contributing usefully to your project, but you didn't have enough time for one day to begin with. So is it a hopeless cause? Should we never train anyone because its always easier to do it ourselves? Not even close! We have access to resource And we can always use resource We just have to be intelligent about where we get it and how we use it........even if it means losing our "keyman" status". It sounds to me like you are making the transition from deveoper to manager (whether you like it or not), but can't quite let go. I can understand why, because you are the only expertise and a student is never going to be able to do what you do in the limited time available. And although this maybe true, maybe its not necessarily the coding you need to offload first, but the training. A few, cherry picked individuals, the chosen few (we used to call them "Prefects" at school) with an aptitude and eagerness for programming that can impart thier knowledge to lesser mortals and answer the inevitable time wasting questions so you don't have to. It means your time is well spent in training (they want to learn and are pretty good at it) and you can offload more and more of your key skills (well, always keep one or two, eh? ) whilst still delivering projects in the interim. If I'm barking up the wrong tree, I'm sure you'll let me know. I have a few further ideas if its worth persuing this direction.

What pun?

If you click on the "Highlight Execution" button you will see how Labview is executing your code. When the data reaches your case statement, you will see which case is executed when the boolean is in one position or the other.

Many thanks. That list might be worth pinning. Now, wheres my PHP editor so that I can write a Post Daemon One reply to all posts might just do it. Ooooh. Did I write that out loud

Without getting into gradients, this is a quick and dirty example of extracting data over a threshold level directly into a 2D array, where each row represents each waveform above the threshold. Because LV uses square arrays, when you process each row, you will have to truncate the data where the zeros start.

Not that I know of. But I've got a "project cleaner" vi that does

You would have to coerce the refnum to a more specific class to make the properties for that type available.

IC. It says in this post 500 I've got a feeling by the time I get near 1000 it will change again to 2000...lol.

Just broken the 500 posts and vaguely remember a post that said you could change ther title under your icon. Is it still so? And if it is can, someone point it out to a blind man?

Sweet

Yup. I stand corected. I mean "imperative".

I sort of semi-agree with this. With text based languages, its much of a muchness. With functional languages (lets forget OOP for now) like c, pascal, java script, VB, PHP et al, only the syntax really changes (pascal uses the asignment ":=" as opposed to "=" for C for example). Once you learn one its just a case of learning the IDE and syntax and away yoiu go But changing between paradigms is a bit different. Its much more difficult to change from C to Prolog for example even though they are both text based. Couple changing paradigms with changing from text to graphical just compunds the leap. Indeed. But the problem I come accross time and time again, is that many people are not open minded, or they've been doing it for so long in one way, that it takes great effort to join the synapses in a different configuration.

Woohoo. How many do I need for a prize

It grabs all controls from a FP. Then extracts the labels and text dependent on the control type. PM Get Control Text.vi uses recursion so it will drill down into nested clusters. Passa Mak creates a list to save to a file since the save and load are separate, but for a regex replacement you could put a write node immediately after the read node in the PM Get Control Text.vi and modify the string in between.

Even the women? Is it true Cat? ....lol

What an unfortunate domain name you have Cat http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nads

Its not too hard to find and replace text. Passa Mak does it for controls, indicators and tip strips. It also has a diagram scanner to extract string constants. It wouldn't take much of an imagination to modify the the relevent bits for descriptions, revision history, decoration text etc. Although its not designed for regex replacements, it covers a lot of the bases you'd need or, at the very least, show you how to go about it.
