You can take a look to http://forums.lavag.org/Refactoring-the-ReferenceObject-example-in-LV-82-t3788.html&st=30&start=30' target="_blank">this for more detail on how to implement a by reference object. You can also look to LabVIEW example.

You nailed it Shane!
Now if you allow me to jump to the end of the game and summarize...
Each of us can only control ourselves so if we really care about making the world better, concentrate on making our individual contributions the best we can and if someone else screws up, forgive them.

I can't wait to get you plied with beer at NI-Week!We'll see about that. I have tried very hard not to get thrown across the bar knocking over tables on the way (again).
Re: Fair and Balanced news...
I listen to NPR (Never Fresh Air) on the way home and then sit and watch FOX News (never their prime time line-up unless I am stuck in a motel) to balance it out. I don't beleive either source but I try to perfom a transform to the "truth plane" based the common items listed in both.
I beleive it was Pilate who once asked "What is truth?". Makes you wonder how far we have come in 2000 years.
Irene,
I BELEIVE that sub-conciously (can a society have a sub-concious, without it being a conspiracy?) the west is threatened by China because;
1) There are a lot more people in China than anywhere else and there is no other group in the world that could beat China, finacially, or miltarily.
2) China has a unique history background and culture and therefore is different. "Differences" often scare those that don't appreciate the difference.
3) The Chinese society is not yet addicted to the "stuff" that place un-neccessary demands on western life styles. e.g. When did cars become clothing?
So although all of the hype against China is toughted as "good and morale" I BELEIVE the attacks are based on fear.
Is anyone other than me familar with DR. Seuss's "The Star Belly Sneaches" ?

Done of my rant. Welcome critisize.

A couple of thought crossed my mind as I read your post.
In Plato's republic he attributed to Socrates the belief that the arts (the media of his day) should be out-lawed because they feed a "shadow of reality" that people take as truth. I have to agree with his ideas there.
"4. Why does..." My personal theory on that question is .... (deleted because its even too out-rageous even for the LAVA Lounge)

I'd be curious, Ben, to know what phenomenon you believe doesn't exist - changing climate, the anthropogenic origin of changing climate, or something else?DaveT
In the interest of keeping the LabVIEW Champions a cohesive group, I would like to gracefully decline responding to that follow-up question. (yes I am a wimp).
Besides concidering your line of work, I would be both out-classed and out-gunned.
But please allow me one request...
As you and yours do your thing please do so with a "jondous eye" (sp? W. Shakespear sp?) since we are really relying on you to act as dis-interested observers.
Thank you!

PS Yep! I should have deleted that post, but then again "As face answers to face and iron asnwers to iron, so does a man trieth words." So I reserve the right to take back everything I said along with eating any "humble-pie" that comes with it.

Yes, this a confirmed bug with NI. ...I told them that the parent should 'inherit' the defer updates setting from the child....
-John
Do you have a CAR nuber for this bug?
Could you explain why the parent should inherits from the child? I would think it should be the other way around. LV 8.5 has been much better with the defer FP updates than LV 8.2.1 was! I had to upgrade in mid development because of GUI update issues that were associated with the Defer FP updates.
I have been just defering in the sub-panel and that seems to work fine in LV 8.5.
Since my GUIs use multiple sub-panels attempting to syncronize the parent defer with ALL sub-panel defers is an issue I have avoided.
Your thought?

I hope you have gotten this information elsewhere since several months have gone by.One of the LabVIEW tools options is Import, you may import a Web Service. To do so you point the import tool to a WSDL file and LabVIEW will create a library of VI's which support making calls to the specified Web Service. The entire set of VI's is equivalent to a proxy for the service. Open & Close create & release a reference to the service, the other VIs represent method calls.
It does take some work to set all the properties, and if the service requires soap headers or complex types you may need to access external code to call constructors for the objects used for arguments, headers and return types.
This does work ( 8.2 ++ ), if you are calling an external Web Service. There does not seem to be a simple way to expose a LabVIEW application as a Web Service. There is plenty of documentation on the LabVIEW site, check out 'Calling external code' and related subjects.
Phil
Yes, we have it working. We create the SOAP messages with "Format into string" and paste that into an HTTP message to be send to the server. The answer is then parsed and the values extracted. It no problem to do it this way because the interface is not subject to change.
As I mentioned in my original post: it has to work cross platform, so importing the wsdl was not an option.

Hi Irene!
Thanks for breaking the ice on this subject. The torch run set off a minor fire storm last night when talking to my buddy and wife. I'll let the details of that interaction by the side but since it quickly becomes a matter of philosophy, but I'll pick-up on another point.
All too often "American" media takes a short-cut and lumps the entire United States together as a single entity with a common set of values, etc. What I would like to stess is that this is far from the truth. As the proper names indicates, the US is a set of "united" "states". THe US is really a collection of 50 sepearte contries. There are parts of the US that think very differently. I believe a "safe" case in point is Dennis Kusinich (sp?). I have heard "American Media" report about his run for president as if he was some sort of nut-case. What is seldom recognized is that the state of Ohio has repeatedly returned him to office (I lift a virtual mug of beer* :beer: to Ohio for their "in your face" attitude).
Being a resident of Pennsylvania (just over the border from OH and WV) the are reports I hear from other parts of the US that make me want to scream. I have often asked out loud "is ther anyway we can give XX back to YY ?", "What if we paid YY to take them back?".

... But I really liked the State Diagram Toolkit that this new tool is replacing....Although the SDE does was replaced in the Add-ons disk by the SC, the SDE is still available if ordered sperately. I get the feeling that NI would like the SDE to just go away.

I use Subroutine on my AE's that are in Time-critical loops so I can use the "Skip-if-busy" option. An example would be an AE that lets a user specify a throtle position in a jet engine simulator. The TC loop has to stay deterministic so being hung waiting for the AE would hurt, I'll skip it if the UI is updating the setting. THe TC loop use the previous value and then picks-up the new setting in the next iteration.
I also you that setting for sub-VI's that are small, run quickly, and are used all over the place in which case i think of this settings as the "run-like-He#$ option".
BTW:There was a bug in one of the LV 7.X versions were the skip-if-busy did not always skip.

Permitted Values:TRUE or FALSEDefault Value:TRUEThanks orko for the link, they do make things clearer for me, so I'll stick to what have been doing : use "request deallocation" primitive with care.

I saw this in the WIKI article "LabVIEW configuration file", section "Performance". (http:/www.labviewwiki.org/LabVIEW_configuration_file/Performance)

Example: anxiousMemoryDeallocation=TRUEDescription: Force LabVIEW to deallocate memory aggressively
The description is a bit hazy for me.. I assume it "virtually adds a "request deallocation" primitive in subVIs".
- Anyone can give more details ?
- Anyone ever tunerd it on ?

Just adding my 2 cents.
The link to VI Memory Usage in LabVIEW 8.5 (see previsou post) says :
QUOTE
Conditional Indicators and Data BuffersThe way you build a block diagram can prevent LabVIEW from reusing data buffers. Using a conditional indicator in a subVI prevents LabVIEW from optimizing data buffer usage. A conditional indicator is an indicator inside a Case structure or For Loops. Placing an indicator in a conditionally executed code path will break the flow of data through the system and LabVIEW will not reuse the data buffer from the input, but force a data copy into the indicator instead. When you place indicators outside of Case structures and For Loops, LabVIEW directly modifies the data inside the loop or structure and passes the data to the indicator instead of creating a data copy. You can create constants for alternate cases instead of placing indicators inside the Case structure.
I saw that your methods all have control terminals inside of the error case structue. This might not change a lot, but if I understand correctly the quote above, then it can only be better to have the control terminals outside of the case structure.

There was a thread on the "Dark-side" where high CPU used by NILM.exe was attributed to a second NIC.

Please check if this reproduces in LV8.5. If it does, please go to ni.com and file a bug report for this. It's worth investigation.It does not reproduce in LV8.5. The warning was there at the first load (from LV8.2.1 to LV8.5), but once fix I can't reproduce it.

I think you just did.
My wife likes following these types of debates since it gets her blood boiling. She leans toward the ID side of things. I generally disappoint her attempts at starting a heated debate because I just don't understand why the two view point have to be mutually exclusive. I can understand the evidence for "reality" but I have come to accept that whoever it was that wrote and enforces the laws of physics could have written them to acheive his/her/its intelegent design.
