Norm, Thanks for sharing this, I like this template a lot. For one thing, it does not have a broken arrow to begin with and you can run it (albeit it doesn't do anything particular) and exit gracefully. Also Why did you decide to run as a "wizard", was that to show a "working" example of the template? I like that it creates not only the template, but all the supporting files as well nicely packaged in a project. Are there any other reasons? I believe you mentioned it during the presentation at NI Week, but I don't remember exactly, so, why do you use the dynamic event registration as opposed to adding event cases for all the individual user parameters? So, why did you use colors? I like it, because it gives you a "map" of where you are at and ... well... it looks "pretty" Thanks again for sharing, Fab

A YELLING +1 for a Lava repository!!! and I love the icon Fab

This is how you can change the font of the column header and get it to use the "Symbol" font

Ok, I am officially a geek now... I loved this ! It made me thing of R2D2. That is probably how it would sound if he was doing those algorithms Thanks for sharing...

David, I just took a quick look at your code, in general you have done a good job of documenting what your controls do in the front panel (opening context help shows what they are supposed to do). One thing I noticed is that you did not have error in / error out controls/indicators in your subVIs and that they were not connected to the connector terminals on the bottom. And I didn't see any error wires, you might want get in the habit of wiring those and having some sort of error handling. My advise would be to do the exams with a chronometer, and without looking at the solution ahead of time. See what you can do on the 4 hours time. Don't try to finish the entire thing and get it to work, 4 hours is not enough to have the entire application 100% perfect. Also, check the LabVIEW Artisan's blog, he has very good advice for the CLD: http://labviewartisan.blogspot.com/2009/01/labview-certification-preparing-for-cld.html Good luck! Fab

I have done it. You only have to make sure that the LabVIEW version is the same both in Windows and MAC, and as CRELF mentioned, once you open the VIs again in Windows, the DAQmx VIs will be found. The only problem is that you won't be able to run your VIs in the MAC at all. Fab

Congratulations!!! thanks for all your contributions to LabVIEW and for every single post here

That is a lot easier, right click on the graph>>visible items>>Graph Palette Then just click on the magnifying glass button to select what type of zoom tool you want to use. To turn the zooming off, click on the button at the left of the magnifying glass. Fab

You can find some of the presentations and code at the NI Week 2010 NI community here: http://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/niweek-2010 If you are not a member, you will have to request to be added. It took half a day for my request to be granted.

Robert was so close on the 7 segments challenge, if he had not forgotten to wire the first constant to the tunnel he would have finished a lot faster than Darren...

I saved the project for LV 8.6 cla_sample_atm_solution86.zip

Avinash, Here is an example that might help you, it provides an area on your GUI to enlarge the graph and you can select from different graphs: http://decibel.ni.co...t/docs/DOC-9501 Fab Jason, That is an example for LabWindows CVI 7.1

Cat, I really wanted to meet you. I kept asking all the girls if they were Cat, how could I miss you at the BBQ??? Also, too bad that you left earlier, I gave a ride to the "Chick Posse" after the BBQ... oh well, hopefully we will meet next NI Week. Fab

Congratulations! Make sure you check this: http://labviewartisan.blogspot.com/2010/07/changes-to-cla-exam.html when preparing for the CLA. They have changed how the exam is graded.

Cat, I was wondering the same thing. Please, post back about your experience with Twitter... see if I finally join everyone else ... It has been hard enough for me to move from my "lurker" status to starting to finally post on LAVA. Fab

I'm in! I just got my ticket. I can give a ride from the convention center to the BBQ to 4 people.
