QUOTE(lraynal @ Apr 12 2007, 10:52 PM) It really depends on what you're trying to do. You're right - I don't think you want reentrancy in this case, but instead a cloned template. Reentrant VIs create a new instance (ie: dataspace) for each place it is on the BD (great if you've got USRs in there keeping some data alive). So, the code in the top of the image you sent will only create one (it's only on the BD in one place = one dataspace copy), whereas the bottom one creates one dataspace for every instance of the VI (meaning that if you put something in a shift register in one instance, it will not be there in another instance).

QUOTE(kennoncotton @ Apr 10 2007, 11:05 PM) But how does it *know*? Is it that the DLL is in the search path somewhere, or is it limited to only the system path? Also, what if the win32.dll is different betweek systems? eg: what if it's built on Windows 2000 and then run on WinXP? I figure both of these OSes have a win32.dll, but are they the same (enough) for this to be a robust thing to do?

QUOTE(Aristos Queue @ Apr 9 2007, 02:17 AM) If anything at all. There's not enough supporting information to indicate that the data presented means anything. It's like saying "9 out of 10 dentists prefer ACME-brand toothpaste" - it's misinformed at best, misleading at worst. Give GoogleLabs some more time - they'll either fix it up and release it, or leave it in the Labs section forever (actually, it's been in the Labs section for a looooong time already...)

<cite>QUOTE(Aristos Queue @ Apr 9 2007, 02:01 AM) </cite> An excellent suggestion :thumbup: Of course, the other reason for wanting such a list would be to know the complete range of functionality that has been hidden in the tags. But if we did that, where would we hide the easter eggs? So no list. Gotcha - I figured it was something like that. PS: Scripting? Never heard of it.

Select Help>FindExamples to go to the Instrument Driver network and then search for the manufacturer/make/model of your hardware. If it's not listed, you can write your own, but you're going to have to learn about VISA and the serial protocol (it looks like a really simple protocol, so it shouldn't take too much to learn). If that's not an option, then contact a system integrator to write it for you.

This may or may not help, but take 30 seconds to check that your port settings are correct - it may look like communication is working even when you've got something wrong (baud speed, stop bits, etc).

<cite>QUOTE(yen @ Apr 8 2007, 11:31 PM) <a href='index.php?act=findpost&pid=27768'></a></cite> That's a really good point yen - it's certainly possible that a method does exist, but it's just not exposed to us right now. That said, I still think that it's there somewhere, jbut finding it is unintuative (is that a word?) yen's right about the complexity of the event structure: think about an event - you define the control (application, VI...) and the event type that fires it, you can have multiple UI events fire one code event, there's dynamic dispatching, user events, and more! As an aside: I'd like to see a list of tags - are there a lot of them? What do they do? What are their prototypes? So many questions...

QUOTE(Ben @ Apr 8 2007, 10:42 PM) "Toilet Paper" I can understand (sure, most of us use it thus it's popular, but not that may of us are interested in it) "sex" has probably been replaced by "porn" (that search term is on the "rise") "beer" has a huge interested following - not so much to learn more about it, but more to sample it "As a Google Labs product, it is still in the early stages of development. Also, it is based upon just a portion of our searches, and several approximations are used when computing your results. Please keep this in mind when using it." It's not about popularity, it's about interest (and, AFAIK, limited only to those searching a particular term alone, and only a portion of the searches at that). For example, searching for "LabVIEW" might be reflected in the results (remember, it's based on only a portion of the searches), but searching for "LabVIEW DAQ" won't. It may be indicative, but that's about it. Personally (here's the scientist in me ) I'd like to know what the values and units are on the Y axis.

QUOTE(James N @ Apr 8 2007, 09:05 PM) "STOR" (show in the code above) is a raw FTP command, and as long as the printer knows what to do with it (including the "BUFF" for put-it-in-your-buffer-queue), then it just might work :thumbup: QUOTE STOR (STORE) STOR <SP> <pathname> <CRLF> This command causes the FTP server to accept the data transferred via the data connection and to store the data as a file at the FTP server. If the file specified in <pathname> exists at the server site, then its contents shall be replaced by the data being transferred. A new file is created at the FTP server if the file specified in <pathname> does not already exist. Notes: <SP> = Space ASCII Character <pathname> = NotAPath - As you can see from the code JamesN posted, the <pathname> is set to <NotAPath>, so the raw text is tranferred instead. <CRLF> = CarriageReturn + LineFeed ASCII Characters

No worries Ami - as I said, there has to be a way to do it, it's just not obvious to us... Good luck!

QUOTE(Joseph167 @ Apr 8 2007, 08:37 PM) You're going to have to give us far more information than that: What is the make/model of the LCM? Do you have a link to it's spec sheet? What have you already tried? (post a VI or two for us to have a look at) What sort of DAQ hardware have you got? What sort of signal (details) is the LCM expecting? What version of LabVIEW will you be using? Tell us more about the sine wave and the response you need to generate.
