    Does the R&S driver not do what you need?

    I can also undo screws with a knife but I would prefer to use a screwdriver

    PCI = 33MHz x 4 bytes = 132 MB/s

    It's a good job that LabVIEW is a dataflow programming language then!

    Make sure your hard disk is up to the speeds you require. You can use these VIs to benchmark your disk.

    Confirmed. Thanks.

    Yup. No ideal solutions for a fast, searchable time series database. The best I have used so far is SQLite. It can have 32k columns so does for most things I have to deal with. Inserting 32k into a row at a time isn't all that quick, though. 10k points is usually an acceptable trade-off for dumping graphs.

    Locally, SQLite. Remotely, MySQL/MariaDB.

    The problem is back again. Sorry, there is a problem Something went wrong. Please try again. Error code: EX145

    Yes. that works. I've checked through the SVN log and nothing has changed in the code from the last time it was run (over a year ago) so I'm not sure why this happened unless the default project refnum no longer returns the root. Thanks for looking into it

    I have a test harness that I haven't run for a while that uses the CCSymbols tag to lookup the conditional symbols of a project. It seems this no longer works and returns an empty variant. There is also a GetSymbols.vi located in "<LabVIEW Version>\resource\plugins\Utility\IfDef.llb" which also no longer functions and returns an empty array. I've executed GetSymbols.vi on LabVIEW versions 2009 through to 2017 and none of them work. (I'm pretty sure it uses the same property node). Investigating further, I have retrieved a list of tags and the only tags that seem to be available are these. I'm sure there were more than this and CCSymbols was among them. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Does anyone have an alternative way of getting the symbols?

    It's the thing you point to when someone says they've found a bug

    I don't have a problem with that (the old saying the last 10% of a project is 90% of the work ). I just treat it as refactoring and optimization. It's the documentation that grinds me down - Help files,user manuals, application notes et.al.I'd rather have one Technical Author on a project than 2 extra programmers.

    You probably have javascript disabled or an addon blocking the javascript. 2 people have registered today so the site is working correctly.

    There is this. I don't know what it is like but it may be a start.

    This isn't really an issue with agile development-a project can last decades as long as the Product Owner keeps feeding the loop. It used to happen a lot with linear (e.g. waterfall) style projects but agile, with iterative development!, means you get concrete and tested software regularly throughout the life-cycle. That's good for merging changing requirements which keeps things fresh and interesting as well as no "oh god I hope it passes acceptance because there is only two weeks left" after months of work. I haven't used linear development for over a decade.

    Each executable is a "Single Process" so the variable is only relevant in that executable. The same with "Global Variables". You have two main options for sharing between processes. Network (TCPIP, UDP et.al) or memory mapped files..

    For standard USB, the malicious code needs to be executed. People get caught out on Windows because they have autorun enabled. Turn that off and a program needs to be executed. Of course, if the malicious code is called "setup.exe" on an NI DVD/USB, you will run it. I've said before. The two things you should always do when getting anew PC is to turn off autorun and set the default operation for VBS scripts to "Open" rather than the default "execute". That defeats auto-infection by most malware even if it is present. To add to the horrors of USB, try Googling for BashBunny and LanTurtle. When a USB device proffers itself as an ethernet adapter it can take over DNS, download code, spy on all internet traffic, steal windows credentials and is immune to virus scanning.

    That sounds like the start of a great thread topic
  20. ShaunR
    Snippets are code. There are many examples in that thread and the litmus is to take them out and see how much sense the thread makes, You can't rely on them purely as images anymore because all the icons have changed! (e.g " Here I've used it just to shift each waveform"). I've always hated snippets but if LabVIEW.NET ( ) can accept all the old ones like LabVIEW does now and .NET ones can be dropped into LabVIEW,proper, as is. Then it may mean there is no reason to have different topics at all.
  21. ShaunR
    That's my point. The UI didn't just get a rewrite. LabVIEW, as it is now, is slowly being grandfathered in favour of LabVIEW.NET. All the community contributed code will eventually be obsolete and the forums are example led not white-paper led!
  22. ShaunR
    Except that all the primitives have changed so it is not just a UX "option". It is, to all intents and purposes, a different language and examples, snippets and demos aren't synonymous even if they were in an "architectural" sense.
  23. ShaunR
    It's because the session times out. There are many quirks like the button not operating, attachment uploads fail and of course the autosave....doesn't. If you "gesture back" or press back then all is lost and I too have written a novel as a reply and lost the lot..usually at least once a week. Refreshing and pasting is also problematic when there are quotes that you've replied to.
  24. ShaunR
    You are probably just after a sharpen. sharpen.vi

    Another SVN user here (Tortoise SVN client side). Only two functions are ever used, Commit and Revert
