*ahem* Ummm, errrr - well yes, of course I knew it was an April Fool's Day joke! Please disregard my previous post...

A bunch of fools?!? I, for one, am elated that NI, LAVA and Michael are taking this step! LAVA has, for too long, been stagnating, and I look forward to more NI-driven topics in the near future. I also think it's a great idea that NI is taking control over the content here - weeding out all of the forum topics that detract from the main thrust of what this site should be all about: LabVIEW and how awesomely great it is, and how awesomely great NI is for giving it to us! Remember: if you're not with us, you're against us...

Now how can I argue with that?!?

Does it come in 2-ply ultra-absorbant?

I went to my doctor this afternoon on your advice - after a couple of scans, some coughing and a little (albeit inappropriate) probing, he said that my time is tridirectional. I'm going to "watch" my figure, and with some dieting he said I'd drop a dimension in no time

Nope - you have to drink water and watch all of us binge drink instead Mmmmmmmm... Shiner Bock.... Hey! Colin's made us famous! Check out the link in his signature

Great - can you please provide a CAR number so we can track it here?

Ouch!

Local and global?!? Wow - this is completely the opposite of what I'd been previously told...

You're welcome! The tea must have been good this morning This example shows two ways of doing it - the first one just have the green arc, the second has an arc that changes colours depending on whether the needle(s) are in the "zone" It's a real shame you're not using LabVIEW 8 - this would have been a great example of an XControl...

After further research, it turns out that it needs to be a fully-qualified absolute path.

Also from Info-LabVIEW: Thanks for the suggestion Dan - it cleared my mind! Actually, it's not a permissions issue, it's that the builder creates the wrong path in the application's .ini file - my NI-DAQmx.ApplicationStorageFile was set to "applicationfolder\nidaqmx.ini", where it should have been just ".\nidaqmx.ini" - looks like a bug to me!

That one takes a little more work and a couple of customized controls (see attached VI) Download File:post-181-1143487178.zip

Check out the "Classic Controls" sub-pallete - it's there under "Boolean" Drop a normal knob down on your front panel and change its representation from DBL (the default) to an integer

I'm having the same problem - I create a very simple VI (DAQmx read in a loop - output to a chart): and I create the channel in my LabVIEW 8 Project. When run in the LabVIEW development environment it works fine but once built I get error -200428 "Value passed to the Task/Channels In control is invalid. The value must refer to a valid task or valid virtual channels." Anyone got any ideas? (I've attached the full project in a zip) Download File:post-181-1143480404.zip

So it needs a voice recognition component - whenever the user says "oh crap!" it automatically envokes an undo

...a good reason to do the demo in a darkened room

I, in no way, was suggesting that it didn't - I have ultimate respect for Jeffrey and his books (I understand the pain of authorship) - that's why I said the Jim's inclusion lends weight, not creates it. Personally, I like Jim's attitude to LabVIEW development, and I think that it will add even more credibility. Congratulations guys - I can't wait to get it for my library. Is it just me, or has there been more and more LabVIEW books for sale on eBay recently?

That's not bad - not bad at all...

Awesome - add a multi-screen interface to LabVIEW and I'll buy it!

Looks exciting, and the addition of Jim certinaly lends some weight to it. Although amazon.com is still using an old editorial review: "Now, completely updated for LabVIEW 6i"

I hear ya - I usually just hibernate my laptop (it has real difficulty shutting down) - if only I could just hibernate it to flash then it'd start up much faster. That said, is flash more stable these days? (ie: how many read/write cycles can it go through before giving up? I vaguely remeber a rumour about it being very low... )

That's got to be one of my favourites! An optimist says the glass is half full, a pessimst says the glass is half empty, and an engineer says the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
