LAVA 1.0 Content

QUOTE(NDaugherty @ Oct 8 2007, 03:36 PM) Stumbled across this myself a few weeks ago. ....IT ROCKS! You have no idea how nice it is to have a free 411 at your fingertips until you use it. once you do. you'll use it ALL THE TIME. I mean really, how many times have you been driving to a place and forgot exactly which street it's on, only to drive around for a while Shit man, just goog 411 it and they connect you with the place and just ask the chucklehead that answers the phone!!! Glad you posted it here. I mentioned it to Mike A. and he was like... "dude you're so yesterday, I found out about that like way long ago, before it was even released man! I've been checking that number every day since Google did it's IPO. Jeeze....catch up w/ the times captian" j/k

Picture says it all Modifies the labview.ini line

I hope the Amazon patent trolls don't read LAVA; you might be infringing on their One-click technology

Welcome, I am always interested in what the new members find particularly interesting. I happen to be a User Interface Junkie. If you can't figure out how to use it by looking at the interface it's crap! Give me a well developed interface and it's like I'm on a nice warm sandy beach. </junkie rant>

I was wondering how the "ctrl + shift + Run" was working. I have a llb with a large number of VIs, if I open the main VI and hit "ctrl + shift + Run" what is going to be recompiled ? All the VIs in the llb ? or Only the main VI's hierarchy ? The diferece is of course the VIs in the llb which are called dynamically.

QUOTE(Albert Geven @ Oct 3 2007, 04:00 PM) No... You just have to look at things the right way.

It sounds like you want to add entries and I don't think thats easily possible. But if you want to get fancy, add a right click context menu entry to add an item, pop-up a dialog and then programatically add the item, and then editing of the existing items happens as mike mentioned above

Actually what I was saying is the xcontrol is what exists as a control on the fp of the VI. and that is the one I can change, I'm checking out your code now. <edit> You don't have editable cells on the listbox on the facade. Download File:post-208-1191348844.avi

I just really quickly through together a VI and a XControl w/ only a listbox on the xcontrol and only the xcontrol on the vi. i'll try to attach later. But I have to disagree w/ your statement because I can do a text edit on the listbox in the xcontrol. Please post your example that you made so that we can see why it doesn't work.

I'm sure you're going to get swamped with answers, but really the sky is the limit when it comes to automation systems. Simply think of LabVIEW as a general purpose programming language (since that is really what is it from my POV). Really where it shines is when you take advantage of the many built in functions such as connectivity w/ TCP/IP or mathematics processing. Also there is it's ability to 'easily' interface with other types of code (dll, activeX, pipes, etc) People have made bookkeeping programs with LV, others make full motion systems, distributed.... I mean we could go on and on and on. What are your interests and maybe we can target your sweet spots to tell you more

QUOTE(matej82 @ Oct 2 2007, 01:10 AM) A quick side note on the chart. If you right click and show digital display. It will show the current value of all plots in numerics off to the side just like you do w/ the separate array.

Modeling Concurrency with Graphs: Petri Nets From the article: Biggest programming problem today is visual representation of concurrency? Hmmmm. Anyone have any ideas?

Another thing that just came up, is in the CompareKey.vi. Each of the comparison items needs to be a compare aggregates rather than elements. This needs to be changed if the data type of the key becomes anything other than a scalar. Any reason not to? <edit> Another item that bubble sorted to the top was the input/output array in 'In Order Fetch Keys' needs to be an array of the the key data type rather than just an array of strings.

I have tried to use this many times as a mechanisim to take a template/baseline program (I'll explain in a bit) and copy it to a new location as to create something new from the baseline. Unfortunately, the exclusion of VI's within the project does not exclude their paths from being included within the preserved hierarchy. In other words, if you want to exclude some VIs at c:\foo\*.vi and the real files you want to distribute are at c:\foobar\neewom\*.vi and below directories, it will not preserve on the hierarchy from foobar and below, it will include 'c' as part of the presereved hierarchy as the least common directory and make it very difficult to move the files around. So you end up making a hierarchy w/ many empty directories especially if the directory that you want to preserve is many layers down from the least common directory.

Go ahead, just make a posting. The 5th Dimension is open to all; heck, it even has it's own wiki page. We won't judge you! Then again, future employers and business contacts may Google your name/alias and question your sanity, so I guess it's OK to lurk :ninja:

That's the one. Very strange, but for some reason, that didn't jump out at me previously as what would ge me what I need, although after reviewing, it definetly is. Thanks

Our seats are user based, so I haven't had to deal with this. The best you could do is check with your IT group and ask if there are VPN services you can use. You would load the software at home, then connect to the office via VPN to validate your license each time you run. There shouldn't be too much of an issue with speed, it would depend on the frequency with which LV "checks" the server. (My experience is that you can load LV in eval mode and as long as you don't exit the app, you can exceed the 30 days limitation; it seems to only check on startup. :ninja: )

QUOTE(Jim Kring @ Sep 26 2007, 07:43 PM) It's part of what AQ does in his map structure. The structure of the map class is simply a container of a parent class, but the default value of the map class is not a container of that parent class but rather a container of the parent class who's default value is of a child class. So I think there may be some clever way of exploiting this so that we can make a parent class aware of it's children somehow.... hmmm... I don't like to work outside of the box... I like to take the box and fashion it into a trebuchet and use it to smash down the walls of everyone elses box. ~,~ in full effect

finally got a chance to see that, damn firewall at work I wonder if I could get away w/ it

If the data type of a class (alpha) is another class(beta), how would one set the default value of beta to one of it's children class?

Is there a clever way to get notifications to a thread if you don't want to post?

Ping.... AQ.. We're waiting.. Are you busy rolling out 8.5.1?

QUOTE(Adam Kemp @ Sep 26 2007, 11:12 AM) Is the kernel rebuilt when installing LabVIEW, or is this only if you install DAQmx? I haven't dealt with *nix in some time, but I always shuddered when I had to rebuild the kernel for CAD applications years ago. Everything would look OK, then on reboot KABOOM! Load OS and start over...
