I found some spam on the wiki and would like to request deletion, but there doesn't seem to be an option (probably because I don't have the rights). So, is there a way to notify administrators (currently only @Michael Aivaliotis?) directly or should we open new topics here? Here are the offending pages.

LabVIEW doesn't backfire for misspelled words, which means we don't freak out every time we see one. Here are a few suggestions for draconian rules on the LabVIEW wiki 😇 1.1 Uploading sample code to the wiki Put input terminals to the right, output terminals to the left (on the block diagram and VI terminals) Use backwards wiring Show terminals as icons Don't use shift registers (use local variables instead) No error handling (disable debugging) Take a screenshot with your mobile phone (compress as much as possible before uploading) Seriously, though. The wiki should have some guidelines for the structure and content of each article. Otherwise it will decay to some kind of link collection (formally known as favorites) with no added value (example). Those guidelines should be more general, as in: A page must be informative It should focus on one topic (create new pages for other topics) Citations must be marked clearly using the format "<blockquote>Someone said this!</blockquote>" ... My point is: This page should be updated (last edited on 7 October 2007, at 11:18): https://labviewwiki.org/wiki/LabVIEW_Wiki:Manual_of_Style

I don't think they found the documentation, just an answer to their particular question or a solution to their particular problem. As Rolf mentioned above: Documentation probably still doesn't exist.

No, that is not possible. Here is the official KB article from NI https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019LtOSAU&l=en-US

Very strange indeed. You are right, these extensions should not affect any of this. I just installed the "Disable JavaScript" addon and can reproduce your behavior with the download button and version selection. In my earlier post you see the "normal" page. This is how it looks with JavaScript disabled: Also, the download button now statically points to http://www.ni.com/en-us/support/downloads/software-products/download.labview.html#

You need to change the location manually at the bottom of the page. After that you should always get to the same site. That is strange indeed. I just tried on another browser and can't seem to recreate this behavior, no matter which location I choose. Do you have extensions installed which block JavaScript or tracker? They can sometimes cause strange results like this, especially if contents are dynamic (as the download button or the lock for Linux/Mac versions).

The link at the bottom will bring you to this page http://www.ni.com/en-us/support/downloads/software-products/download.labview.html#305508 You just have to select 2018 SP1 Patch and click download. This will download the f4 (latest) patch. The en-us version is pretty stable in my experience (except for a few dead links here and there). Can't say much about the others. I'm still surprised they bother to check the associated SSP. Considering that the License Manager checks it anyway.

Thank you so much for sharing

Here are some additional pointers that might be helpful LabVIEW Help : https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/lvconcepts/custom_cont_ind_type/ UI Interest Group : https://forums.ni.com/t5/UI-Interest-Group/ct-p/7019?profile.language=en LabVIEW Playlist (see NI LabVIEW UI Tips videos) : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE91C12E1A5E62F88 I also found a blog post with pictures that show the general process for customizing controls. https://www.dmcinfo.com/latest-thinking/blog/id/9428/basic-labview-ui-control-customization If you are interested to see what is possible with LV, search for "2016 NIWeek - Designing Advanced User Interfaces in LabVIEW". https://lavag.org/topic/20645-labview-videos-tecnova-download-site/

Disclaimer The following details are oversimplified for the sake of clarity. Feel free to point out important details that aren't covered by this post. --- There is a higher chance of finding better results by searching for "labview reference". Here are a few examples. https://labviewwiki.org/w/index.php?search=reference&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go https://labviewwiki.org/wiki/Control_References http://www.ni.com/example/28769/en/ That said, you should be familiar with the normal data flow in LabVIEW. Data goes from one end of a wire to the other. A branch in the wire will create a copy in memory if either branch of the wire is changed. Loosely speaking, a wire represents the data. A refnum on the other hand doesn't represent the data, but the location of the data in memory (*). It is similar to a pointer in C-like languages. This changes the behavior of the wire Data still goes from one end of a wire to the other. Each branch of a wire receives exactly the same value as the other (no copy is made). (**) In order to access the data you need to make use of Property Nodes, Invoke Nodes and more. The benefit is, that you can access the same value from different places in your program. Even better, this is not limited to controls. It works for controls and indicators, VIs, objects, the project, the whole application and everything. https://labviewwiki.org/wiki/Refnum http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361R-01/lvconcepts/controlling_front_panel_objects/ However, it doesn't work for variables and due to its nature, race conditions can occur if you don't take care of the execution in your program. This is why for variables there is a more specialized type of reference, the data value reference (DVR). It allows you to access the same variable in memory from different places in your program. http://www.ni.com/product-documentation/9386/en/ There is obviously much more to it than these few points. However, the links above should give you some insight. (*) Here is some information about the memory structure of a refnum. https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019ZT5SAM&l=en-US (**) Technically speaking a copy is still made if you change the "value" on either branch of the wire, but since it is a pointer you shouldn't change it under any circumstances.

It's like real life - overpromised and underdelivered. Now others have to fix it 😋

Brain power and Google is the standard solution if the search box at the top doesn't satisfy you. That said, I'm using firefox, so Pocket is one way to keep track of it. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/pocket/ And of course you can make use of bookmarks in your favorite browser, but chances are high that it grows so much that you need Google again. Most of it can be done with Pocket. You get a button which you press while on the page. It stores the page in your Pocket (online) and you can add tags to it. You can also subscribe to an RSS feed of your personal pocket. But it doesn't update contents in your Pocket automatically and the RSS feed only contains the things you add to the Pocket. For live updates I suggest using the notification feature of Lava (mail based). Rest assured, searching was involved. hooovahh summarized it perfectly. To collect the information on your local computer you can use any feed reader you like. But I highly doubt there is any that automatically downloads attachments for you (because that is web scraping, not news reading).

For reference, here is a comparison of how it was done before Stall Data Flow existed (prior to 2017). https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Darren-s-Occasional-Nugget-01-05-2018/td-p/3738420?profile.language=en
