Same here everything booked and ready for LAVA BBQ!

Thank you so much! I will test it. Cheers! It was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

Does anyone know how to launch the DAQmx task (MAX Task) configuration screen with LabVIEW? I would like to have a VI that would launch that screen so user could configure the task and I could use that task later on with my code. Cheers, Samuli

Great job! Huge thanks!

It was totally great event! Thanks! Any images online?

All of you who are going to do a CLA exam should ask your local NI office or NI Certification team if there are any online CLA Preparation sessions coming soon. Those will definitely help you to pass the exam. You will avoid the typical mistakes and get good tips & tricks. I have prepared personally lots of people to CLA exam and most of them have passed. I think the biggest problem, as Rolf pointed out, is the fact that people will code too much (we all love to code). It's good to practice some structures before the exam but do not directly copy the ones from the examples (for example the error handling). Just create your own way to solve those examples and practice those structures/VIs. Also remember what kind of grading system there is. Where all the points are coming? There are "easy" points and "not that easy" points Style: 10 points <- Easy to get full points Documentation: 20 points <- Easy to get full points Requirements coverage: 30 points <- Easier to get full points Architecture development: 40 points <- Challenging to get full points So DO NOT loose those ”easy” points ;-) You will need 70 points to pass. So create your architecture, clean, documented code and try to add most of the tags to the code by using documentation + some coding. You will not loose any points if your VIs are broken so do not spend any time to make them run. You can also write the documentation with your native language (might help those who does not have English a native language). Good luck for all of you who will try to pass the CLA exam!

Yes this example uses scripting but it would work also as an .*exe if needed. It would just require some extra work. I made that simple example with LV 2011 for our NIDays (Northern Europe) and I will show it also during during my upcoming NIWeek presentation about Innovative UIs. I will share all the source code after that I still need to polish it little bit and add some more documentation.

I'm not sure what kind of UI you would need but if the column size can be fixed you could just create a separate 2D Color Array and put 2D String Array (transparent BG) top of it. It would update much faster.

Well you could do it like this of course: http://screencast.com/t/ei04L5zm In that example you can add any LabVIEW UI object to the front panel during run time and link data to those objects.
