As far as I can tell I'm building an Application.

Edit: I figured it out. I had the "remove unused members of project libraries" unchecked. It kinda makes sense, but it's hard to relate that to a list of mnu files.

Library members can be any file type. Ya, that's confusing.

QUOTE (Michael_Aivaliotis @ May 12 2008, 03:35 PM)

Can someone tell me why all these mnu files are in my build output support folder and how do I get rid of them?

Looks like you're doing a source distribution and not excluding some libraries in vi.lib.

Oh yeah, that was when they did the comeback season in the 90's, when he was really really old...

To be honest, it does kind of look like you. You didn't happen to paste your own head there, did you?

Old? I only turned 0x20 years old in March

Sorry guys... I've been out of the loop for a while.

On a personal note, I just recently completed Advanced I and II training and am awaiting my results on the CLAD (free at a NI seminar) and will hopefully be taking the CLD before next year.

Congratulations, Bryan.

Yen, I think OpenG Commander might look more like this

I thought I had some encoding/decoding VIs at one time, but can't seem to find them now. I've done countless internet searches of LAVA and other sites and all I found were links that led to nowhere.

Does anybody have any base64 encoding/decoding VIs that they would like to share, or could point me to? I'm also looking for some various checksum VIs, but I haven't searched for them yet as they may be more readily available.

For some reason I can't get my OpenG commander to work on my work desktop. I don't know if our IT department has locked down programs from accessing the internet or FTP anymore. It used to work, but when I tried to use it today, it wouldn't work.

OpenG Commander? What's that? Do you mean VI Package Manager?

There are some useful base 64 VIs inside the OpenG SMTP library, here:

Markup (XML and ini, for instance): poor scalability & poor LV tool support... anyone have an LV native SAX parser?

(My budget for this is currently whatever I have in my cubicle, pockets, and/or can sneak out of IS after midnight, so large scale proprietary systems are out. Please, feel free to respond here if you have a commercial system, but no emails.)

Joe,

If you're looking for a LabVIEW native XML parser that is easy to use and is well within your budget constraints, check out http://jkisoft.com/easyxml/' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">EasyXML. (Nobody saw that one coming, did they? )

It suprised me the installer had it's own version number, but when I experimented with changing the numbers I couldn't find where the installer version number is used.

The installer version is what's shown in the Add/Remove Programs list under the details dialog for an installed program. It's basically your installed program's version, as far as windows is concerned.

This thread reminds me of a poster from DEC that featured a guy sitting on a porch looking out over the ocean, his feet up on the railing next to the display of a VT-220 and keyborad in his lap.

Do you really want AQ drinking while he's working on the next version of LabVIEW?

This is what Michael's talking about:

Notes:

• You can't just build a 2D array and reshape it to 1D (outside the loop), since each 1D array might be a different length.
  
• This should also work for strings :thumbup:

Compare the upper loop with the lower loop.

Take a close look at the loop exit.

That's a great idea. In fact, OpenG already has such a function called Conditional Auto-Indexing Tunnel.

This function started as an item on my LabVIEW wish-list, many years ago

PS -- Come on crelf and rolfk! Don't tell me that you guys don't know about this OpenG function

My friend made this video for her class project. She gets graded on how many people view the video. Take a look at it. It's funny and it's got a good message, too

Hi All,

The Arithmetic Mean Candidate Functional Spec is now complete, and it has entered its Final Review Period. Comments on the Functional Spec are still welcome, but any issues should be brought up sooner rather than later.

The Initial Review Period for the Arithmetic Mean Candidate Technical Spec has now begun. Anyone who's interested is invited to look at the Technical Spec page and offer comments here. This is the time to bring up any issues or concerns you have with the actual implementation of the function.

There is currently one major Open Issue with the technical spec that needs to be settled:

The current implementation uses the top option in the figure. How important is it to avoid this copy? Note that one of the Key Technical Requirements is high performance.

Please join in on the discussion, here:

PS - I guess I might have to start being less cynical

I'm sure that someone will tell me that this is a feature and not a bug. Nonetheless, it's annoying and not what I would expect -- especially, since lvlib and lvclass types have a "Locked" property.

And how the 21st century actually started in 2001. Actually, it's like that in 2 ways.

It's like how entering the 5th dimension requires evolving beyond 4-d space-time and creating god.

QUOTE (Justin Goeres @ Apr 23 2008, 12:05 PM)

Nope. 4096 would be the beginning of the 13-Bit Post Count Club by my math.

E.g. 11 bits would hold everything up to b111 1111 1111, i.e. 2¹¹-1 = 2047.

So at Post #2048, Michael crossed over to b1000 0000 0000, or 12 bits. And there he shall toil for 2047 more posts, while crelf races off over the horizon.

Well, it's your club, so you can define it however you wish. I just figured that 12-bit club meant you needed to have 2^12 posts to be a member -- just as a million post club would probably mean you'd need a million points to be a member.

QUOTE (Justin Goeres @ Apr 23 2008, 09:28 AM)

Am I the first to notice that Michael is the lucky second member of the 12-Bit Post Count Club?

Since you can't have negative posts, I would assume that you have to have 4096 posts to be in that club

I've tried SCPlugin, but it was not very stable, IMO, when I tried it -- maybe it's gotten better.

I use SmartSVN on Mac. It's nothing like TortoiseSVN, but I don't really need tight integration with the Finder, as I mostly use the Mac for testing and some occasional development and fixing of cross/multi-platform code. I also use it on Linux (since SmartSVN is cross-platform).

It's worth mentioning, here, that if you want an even distribution of integers, then the formula looks like this:

INT( RAND * ( ( MAX + 0.5 ) - ( MIN - 0.5 ) ) + ( MIN - 0.5 ) )

Otherwise, your MIN and MAX values will have half the rate of occurence (probability) of the values between them. FYI, we're planning on adding support for integers in a future release of the OpenG VI.

Which is what TobyD said above. Sometimes a formula is worth a hundred words (since a picture is worth a thousand).

I believe what he was trying to get at is if you protect the variant by wrapping it up into another variant, the flatten won't kill the attributes:

Hi Joe,

I see what you're saying. I should have read the various postings more carefully :headbang:

I'm happy that you all were able to solve the problem
