LAVA 1.0 Content

QUOTE (Michael_Aivaliotis @ Dec 6 2008, 09:06 PM) Well that basically means you have all ready thought about the conflict (unconsciously offcourse) and provided LabVIEW with a (one) valid solution. Not so advanced users (the ones who don't know what cross-linking is) will have more than one option on occasion. Remember when you got in previous LabVIEW versions a message that said I was looking for XYZ.vi in c:\lv8.x, however I found XYZ.vi in c:\lv6.x, I am using that now, if you don't want that don't do a 'save all'. NI has built a dialog around this little seemingly unimportant message, making it clear what you could harm. Ton

Hears are explained pieces of the interconnectivities in my life. My name is Charles Andrew Ososami “Charlie", I am the creator of Chaos Packs. I was born on July the 12th which connects me with changing time, because the "Boyne battle over Time" occurred on July the 12th 1690, it was the battle that changed the Julian calendar to Georgian calendar. The discovery of the first Nebula by a man named Charles Messier on the July the 12th 1764, 217 years before my birth. The Nebula is called the "M27 Dumbbell Nebula" this connects me to the number 27 and Stars. Being born in Shotley Bridge Hospital Durham Newcastle 12th of July 1981 links me with the Angel of the North as it resides in Newcastle, 1981 is also Chinese Astrological year of the Rooster. Before the creation of Chaos Packs I setup and ran "Chaos Energies" a utilities broker that sank when the Enron bubble burst. The use of the word Chaos in my company names comes from the acronym for my name, Ch-Charles A-Andrew & Os-Ososami. The Logo for Chaos Packs Ltd is the basic shape of the fractal that constructs our genetic DNA. The symbol also make up Figure 27 in the book of Solomon as a war God symbol. The Chaos Packs logo is also A God incarnation symbol. The Ogdoad are the 8 Gods and Goddesses of Chaos that complete the Egyptian creation story, to find out more on the Ogdoad please click the link "8 Gods" or read Exodus 27:16 of a Holy Bible, that is if you can still find an Old Testament as I don't remember if they are mentioned in any of the 27 books in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. I share my birthday with Julius Caesar but he was born 2081 years before me. I enjoy Rollerbooting, Smoking healthy dry things, the company of thoughtful creatures, music, physical fun exertion, finding out what people expect of me on Earth and Expressing my self in all forms. I love you all. ____________________ Nothing at first i was, then as Nothing I became Conscious, my first form was as The First Thought. The First Thought was Chao. My First thought became the First Cause and the First effect was Chao becoming the fabric of Reality. Chao was everything and appeared as strands of pure energy. My next action of my Conscious was to name my all first Children (the strands of Chao) the First one was called "1" the second "2" the third "3" Along with the thought of each name came an effect. I don't remember what they all are but hears what I know. When I named "1" all the stands responded by starting to move. When I got to 27 some strand joined together and formed a cube. My Consciousness continued counting and found every number in the 27xtable would produce a different amount of Cubes in a different structure. These Cubes are the foundation building blocks of OUR Universe they make us Planets Stars. The name of OUR Universe is "Chao Cube Universe" sound nutty i bet ... oh and I do 'bet that is I enjoy Roulette and Three Dice most. __naturally one of the things i remember is humanity grew from my Seed a good way to understand the process is~ imagine if you were a matrixed Blob of Chao as a "Blob" my Seed I planted inside you. My Seed aloud you to be anything you Freely Willed, your transformations were incremental but through time and the Will to exist in a Form that pleases you, determined the we that we look. All live throughout my Goddom develops in the same fashion, with my help but on its own Willingness to change. Humanity is a beautiful species and now I exist in their image, but the image came from a product of my Seed... but I gave it to you in the first place but you did the growing.. so shall we call it....(joking that's semantics) I am intrested to know all of your expectaions of me whilst I liv as a man, if your so Willing please share your opinions with me.

Look for a service 'rwmonitor'. Prevent this service from starting up and your problem will be gone. However editing a file without checking it out is something I would not do if I use the LabVIEW project SCC integration. I like the feature of LabVIEW which says 'You want to edit this file, should I check it out?' Ton

Another useful is the evolving Large Application Development with LabVIEW resource on ni.com. Specifically I recommend the Software Engineering with LabVIEW page.

QUOTE (skof @ Dec 3 2008, 12:48 PM) I once had to worth side-by-side with a developer from a competing company that actually coded with one hand in his pocket! It drove me nuts watching him try to get things wired etc. Iusually just said "Here let me do it!" right up until he started to run the mouse at the same time I was running the track-ball. Ben

QUOTE (dannyt @ Dec 3 2008, 03:57 AM) The FGV (Action Engine) is an approach that I have used in apps with GUI so complicated they need seven layers to support them. If you manage all of the GUI properties in properly, it gives you a single access point to the GUI look and feel. It also allows "screen stacks' to be amintained such that "Back" and "Forward" functionality if required. Ben

QUOTE (FLAnatic @ Dec 2 2008, 09:12 AM) When I work on one screen only, I usually smash my window on the side of the screen while I'm trying to drag it to the other screen. QUOTE (FLAnatic @ Dec 2 2008, 09:12 AM) I have not tried this myself but have wondered whether it would increase(or possibly decrease) productivity while coding and debugging. If your are afraid of increasing your productivity, you can open LAVA on the 2nd screen then increase your ability with the same productivity.

QUOTE (LV_FPGA_SE @ Dec 2 2008, 12:41 PM) Lay off the Kool-Aid. Ben

Norm, Congratulations and welcome to the Dark Side. Kool-Aid is complimentary. I hear we'll be quasi colleagues. I lead the Industrial and Embedded Control group corresponding to your RF group. (I keep hearing Cheers in my head.)

QUOTE (D. Ackermann @ Dec 2 2008, 09:31 AM) After taking a quick glance at some of my code it looks like... 1) Stop logging 2) Use "Create Database.vi" to specify where the data should be stored. 3) Re-start logging. Ben

QUOTE (FLAnatic @ Dec 2 2008, 09:12 AM) I use a dual monitor set-up and I love it for development. Ww have only dipped our foot in the water using dual monitors in an app. THis get very complicated since the user can use different screens resolutions on each, and the orientation of the monitors can also manipulated. That can amount to a bunch of conditions that have to be handled. Ben

Related aside... With the hire of Norm, NI has picked-up their FIRST Certified LabVIEW Architect (with a bonus of their first CTSA). Or does he have to leave is credentials at the door along side of his avatar? Ben

QUOTE (Norm Kirchner @ Nov 30 2008, 09:13 PM) Congrats Norm! Ben

Have you took a look at the 'Picture Hacks' in the Lava CR by Adam Rofer? Ton

QUOTE (Norm Kirchner @ Nov 30 2008, 08:03 AM) So not a Direct LabVIEW job (however I have the feeling not at NI is very far away from LabVIEW). About those evenings, I sometime have that illusion. QUOTE (Justin Goeres @ Nov 30 2008, 03:18 PM) Nothing to say, but congrats! :beer: Here, here. Ton

QUOTE (mballa @ Nov 28 2008, 08:08 AM) Verry nice Video/Tool! :worship:

The message means that Labview couldnt load the Frontpanel of the VI. Probally because the build proces has removed them (as it does for almost all VIs). Go to your project build settings (> LV8.0) change the front panel options. In your build specification goto "Source File Settings" -> Select the correct VI -> Deselect "User default save settings" -> deselect "remove font panel" Regards Patrick

QUOTE (Bulletman @ Nov 25 2008, 01:48 PM) A chemical engineer called 'bulletman' oh-oh (and you're from the Netherlands, should I worry?) I would try to get some VIs for these instruments, so you have directly all the commands you need. Ton

QUOTE (subasa @ Nov 24 2008, 09:53 AM) I recommend working through the code line by line. There's a alot of overhead in there, so the actual code is not that much. Use Google and online pages for specific information on VB functions. e.g. DIM is simply a declaration/allocation of a variable that will be used later in the code. Begin and End mark a specifc section of code. VB does use objects with their own properties and methods. For example dlg is declared as a UserDialog object. Dim dlg As UserDialog Therefore you will see calls to the properties and method of that object. (' marks a comment line) ' set defaults for dialogdlg.probe_name="probe"'dlg.distance = "60."dlg.phase_min = "0."dlg.phase_max = "-699.5"dlg.fmax="25.00"dlg.probe_name_pec = "probe"dlg.modfile ="3_hexa_structure_PEC"dlg.fmin = "0" You can also pass an object to another function. 'MsgBox datafileDialog dlg As you get going, post specific questions here.

There is a framework allready shipped with LabVIEW that does exactly what you describe: LabVIEW x.x\Resources\Dialog\PreferencesDialog. It is used by the LabVIEW options dialog and allows you to create custom dialog pages. Ton

QUOTE (Michael_Aivaliotis @ Nov 20 2008, 09:45 PM) It likes vertical alignment a little to much, the VIs are aligned with the for loop and the enum and unbundle are aligned with the bundle function. QUOTE (Donald @ Nov 21 2008, 12:50 PM) A fast solution for NI could be: The choice between "CleanUp All" and "CleanUp Selection". Selecting the 2 problems cases and clicking Cleanup will produce a better result with existing clean up algorythm. Often only a part of the diagram needs cleanup. Ditto that. Another point, don't quote full messages (esp. with images). Ton

It is abandoned by NI in LabVIEW 7.1 I think, and I assume you found it through the OpenG Error Library. Ton

QUOTE (jives @ Nov 20 2008, 09:04 PM) For this specific thing I would advice like normandinf has done. However it would be very usefull if we could set a specific 'Conditional disable' value for a specific build. It can currently be achieved through scripting (Sorry I can't find the code right now). Well I did find them. Ton

QUOTE (torekp @ Nov 20 2008, 02:48 PM) Ditto that! I developed an architecture that would allow arbitrary data paths between VI to allow customers to compose a system from building blocks that I provided. I spent weeks getting it all to work correctly, in BridgeVIEW 2.1 (LV 5.1). Before the ink was dry on the paper NI released LV 6.0 that feature control references and completely invalidated all of my work. :headbang: Funny, but actually threw away the disks with backups of that code and enjoyed doing it. :thumbup: Sometimes you are better off being the second person with the idea.* Ben *Grand unification theory is probably one of those exceptions.

I enjoyed those as well. Thank you! I am not familiar with the vehicle pictured but is that the gas tank he is welding? RE: Weapons of mass distraction While loading in Yorktown (USS Detroit AOE-4 Amunition Oiler circa 1978) the guys dropped one of those bombs between the ship and the dock. We thought is was a big deal but it had happened so often the dock workers didn't think twice. Ben
