QUOTE(Yuri33 @ Aug 16 2007, 12:36 PM) Nope - it's negligable. Try it yourself - download an run one of the VIs while watching your "Performance" under the "Task Manager".

Great job Yen! :thumbup: Keep it up mate!

QUOTE(Neville D @ Oct 13 2007, 06:26 AM) Absolutley - but make sure you fully understand what these VIs are doing: decimation is a very different concept to interpolation (in fact, they can almost be thought of as the opposite), and there will be times when only one of them is appropriate for your situation. I also humbly suggest you have a quick read through this blog post.

QUOTE(digital19 @ Oct 14 2007, 02:04 PM) My science undergrad was also a physics major. There's plenty of resources out there that have info about using LabVIEW in physics labs. Urs Lauterburg is a physics education and LabVIEW champion (and a LAVA Member too) that has some excellent resources, including this one - I'm sure there's heaps of stuff your could get from him to make LabVIEW a more important part of the cirriculum. Another excellent portal to all things LabVIEWy and educational is the NI Academic page - there's plenty there to keep you going

QUOTE(gottfried @ Oct 12 2007, 05:22 PM) The Neville_D's answer is the one to go with - sample fast and resample in software. You need to think about what method you want to use to do the resampling, as there are several, and it really depends on the applicaiton. For example, if I wanted to acquire a slow signal at x Hz and then a fast one at 3x Hz, I acquire in hardware at 3 x Hz. Then, how do you get your x Hz signal? You can decimate the 3 x Hz signal to get the first value, the second value, the third value, a mean of all three values, the highest value, the lowest value, etc. You also may need to think about syncronisation - do you need to justify which data point that you're going to select? etc...

QUOTE(Aristos Queue @ Oct 12 2007, 02:02 PM) Of course - you're absolutely right. Any VI that has a reference to another VI can read/write it's tags. QUOTE(Aristos Queue @ Oct 12 2007, 02:02 PM) For the record, if you want an encapsulated global, an LV2-style global or a global VI can be made private to a library (or protected to a class) so as to restrict access to it. Hey - I hadn't thought of doing that :thumbup:

Tags are kinda cool, but not necessary. One question I have: The tags are bound by the VI, right? So they're kind-of encapsulated globals, which makes them act like locals. I agree with everything that Stephen said, but (like everything else) tag could be useful if managed well. The management of them is what's important.

QUOTE(Justin Goeres @ Oct 11 2007, 09:51 AM) I've contacted odiogo about that - when it sees an image with an html link (eg: when you attach an image that's large and the LAVA board resizes it with a link to the full size) then the odiogo engine thinks that the post is finished.

QUOTE(rolfk @ Oct 8 2007, 08:06 PM) I hear you! My rebiuld is usually at 2 days, and that just something that I can't afford very often. QUOTE(rolfk @ Oct 8 2007, 08:06 PM) I do follow Wine development too and they did a lot of work on MSI support in the last two years and the overal consent there seems to be that MSI might be to most overengineered part of Windows and contains quite some rather questionable design decisions and implementations. Do you have any reference to those articles/discussions? I'd be really interested to read them.

Are you using NI-Vision or Vision Builder AI?

QUOTE(Michael_Aivaliotis @ Oct 4 2007, 04:36 AM) I've heard Stephen admit that LabVIEW isn't perfect previously, but, as my Ma says, "I'm not perfect, but I'm as close as anyone you'll ever meet."

QUOTE(rolfk @ Oct 8 2007, 05:01 AM) Do you have any references where we could read more about that Rolf? I've been using msi for years and haven't really had a problem, and I'd be interested to hear why you and others think that it's overkill, huge and inflexible.

QUOTE(jpdrolet @ Oct 7 2007, 03:29 AM) Yep - it sure is QUOTE(Jim Kring @ Oct 7 2007, 05:11 AM) That was pretty good. But, I think it coulda used a bit more cow bell. "I gotta fever... and the only prescription is more cow bell!"
