QUOTE(JFM @ Apr 13 2007, 08:02 AM) I don't understand typecasting would be used as a solution. Both wires would have the same data (the Event Registration Reference) -- just use the wire that has the correct type information (not the one that flows out of the right-side dynamic events terminal).

QUOTE(JFM @ Apr 13 2007, 04:06 AM) I've faced this problem, too, and JFM's solution #2 is the one that I use in my applications.

We're rapidly entering a world where software is a service. Better be ready.

One of the main hurdles of getting started with version control is setting up the server. But you can easily create a "local repository" (on your local machine's hard drive) using TortoiseSVN. I've just written a short article describing how to do this: Creating a local Subversion repository with TortoiseSVN Enjoy

The "rendezvous" input of "Wait at Rendezvous.vi" should be a required input. It is currently not a required input. All of the other Rendezvous VIs (correctly) have the "rendezvous" input as a required input. This bug has been around since at least LabVIEW 6.1 and exists through 8.2.1. My sources tell me that this will be fixed in the next release of LabVIEW.

QUOTE(george seifert @ Apr 10 2007, 01:36 PM) And, don't forget... if you apply a negative voltage, it will spin backwards -- that's really important when you're trying to control position.

Status: Fixed in 8.2.1

QUOTE(BrokenArrow @ Apr 9 2007, 09:20 AM) No, the picture is stored as a decoration inside the VI (by value, not by reference).

I haven't upgraded to 8.2.1, yet, and I'm wondering how it went for everyone else? Any problems during the install? Any new issues? Should I go ahead and take the plunge? If you've installed 8.2.1, already, please post here and let us all know how it went. Thanks,

QUOTE(kings123 @ Apr 6 2007, 06:22 PM) Maybe that's the solution.

QUOTE(PJM_labview @ Apr 6 2007, 09:47 AM) I agree. This is wonderful. Sure, it's a long list of bugs. Yes, it means that there are lot's of bugs in 8.2.0. But, it means that NI is dedicated to creating an environment (and relationship with its customers) that promotes high-quality software, rather than an environment that promotes brushing bugs under the rug. I commend NI for its commitment to improving LabVIEW. Kudos,

Thanks everyone! I am so happy to be part of the LAVA community and lucky to have you all as colleagues. And, special thanks to Michael for making it possible for me to make 1000 posts on LAVA.

I recommend NI's circuiT design software.

One trick that I use a lot in my UIs is to use a ring control whose strings get initialized from the strings array of an enum. I use the OpenG, "Get Enum String Values" VI to get the list of strings from the enum's type descriptor info and then pass this to the ring's Strings[] property.

QUOTE(Dave Graybeal @ Apr 4 2007, 07:33 AM) Dave, Tomi and I use the same software for our blog sites, but there appears to be some difference in the settings or version of our software. We're looking into solving this problem, so that you can see the actual web page when viewing http://EXPRESSIONFLOW.com' target="_blank">EXPRESSIONFLOW in Thunderbird. Thanks, -Jim

QUOTE(Mike Ashe @ Apr 3 2007, 06:47 AM) AFJ's are supposted to be funny and I don't think that anyone inside NI would be laughing at that one -- it's a serious topic.

Some, right-click drag and drop options, of course. (Get it? It's a Window shell extension joke... TortoiseSVN is a Windows shell extension... oh, nevermind) The number of LabVIEW users mentioning subversion and TortoiseSVN has been increasing steadily, so I figured that I would start blogging about them, occasionally. I really love these tools and I don't know how I would manage without them.

QUOTE(alukindo @ Apr 2 2007, 07:06 PM) I'm glad it helped. BTW, you can add a VIT as a subVI of another VI (or add all your VITs as subVIs of a VI called "All Dynamic VIs.vi" or similar) and then add this VI as a dynamic VI of your build. Hopefully this will let you build your EXE. Also, if your end deliverable is an EXE, it's best to create your build rule early and try to make sure that your application is always working in both source and EXE form. This is a lesson that most learn the hard way. Cheers,
