QUOTE (ShaunR @ May 16 2009, 05:23 PM) I *think* they've always been in there, right? I thought part of 0.17 was to have the OpenG toolkit show up in their respective existing palettes?

QUOTE (Jim Kring @ Feb 18 2008, 04:35 PM) I've got 0.18 installed in LabVIEW 8.6, and I still dont see them

QUOTE (Norm @ May 15 2009, 04:16 PM) That's totally what LAVA needs more of - members offering to buy other members dinner! I would be more than happy to lend my mind to members for a free dinner and some stimulating conversation (not that there's anything wrong with that). Pity I'm outside the 100mile radius

A common method to measure (relative) focus is to look at the spatial contrast of an image - look at how quickly the intensity of the image changes in the area of interest. If it's a gradual change you image is less ofcussed than a fast (or tight) change.

QUOTE (Ton @ May 15 2009, 02:09 PM) You might want to download the latest version - mine doesn't do that.

I got a few minutes downtime, so I figure now is as a good time as any to look as SCC integration in LabVIEW. We use SVN (we use the needs-lock model, so we checkout/checkin everything - and no, I'm not looking to debate that model ), so I'm looking at PushOK (at $27 a license, who can argue?) - so far so good. Anything I should look out for using PushOK?

So are we doing this?

QUOTE (Black Pearl @ May 13 2009, 03:21 PM) Sure, but what if someone posts "I'm having a problem with the <insert primative name here>", and their profile says they're using LabVIEW 2009? That's an NDA violation right there. QUOTE (Black Pearl @ May 13 2009, 03:51 PM) My planning before the posts about of NDA and such stuff was joking around: That's the newly recruited service staff of NI, which are here to get the answers they should give on the offical forum... (o.k., they arn't that bad, but sometimes...) I don't understand that post at all.

I'm planning on being there.

QUOTE (Bruno Costa @ May 12 2009, 05:48 PM) Right - try this.

QUOTE (normandinf @ May 12 2009, 10:07 PM) Perhaps LabVIEW 2009 is the default selector when ppl sign up? Maybe we should remove it from the list and only include officially released versions? I'm not sure what benefit having 2009 in there is if we can't share code on the forum (and we can't).

Quick note to beta testers: while it's okay to mention you're on the LabVIEW 2009 beta, do NOT discuss any of it's features on LAVA until it's released. Doing so is a violation of te NDA you signed with NI. Also, there's an exclusive private board on the dark side for discussing it - so don't do it here. This goes for all beta products where the NDA expressly limits you from discussing it in the public domain. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programme.

QUOTE (Black Pearl @ May 11 2009, 03:57 PM) Sounds perfectly logical to me...

Sorry - perhaps my specific examples clouded that I was trying to be generic in saying that you can't cover everything. It's a computer. You can try to cover as much as you can (and it looks like you're doing fine with things like hardware and Windows itself), but you can't cover everything. Not that any further discussion here will help, but I sure hope you addressed your issues directly with NI, right? QUOTE (ShaunR @ May 11 2009, 04:20 PM) Again, I was trying to be generic - I didn't mean for you to get specifically hung up on the examples. Have you ever had Windows complain about *anything*? QUOTE (ShaunR @ May 11 2009, 04:20 PM) Any... errors must stop the machine and turn it into a paperweight, otherwise people can lose limbs. We have no issues with windows... Well, your experience aside I'm not sure I'd have a purely Windows OS controlling anything that could lop of limbs. That said, I don't know your application or system, so I can't speak without ignorance on that.

Not an obfuscation per se, but check out this little snippet I found in someone's code:

QUOTE (ShaunR @ May 8 2009, 06:50 PM) Unimportant to you maybe, but certainly not irrelevant. You can't control everything that a computer does, or wants to do - you don't have in-depth knowledge of all it's parts. If the user ignored a "improper shutdown, hard disk has errors, run scandisk" message and your software faults due to that, is that your fault too? I'm not saying that you can't plan for these things, but you have to, well, plan for these things. If you know that you need to activate Windows in 30 days or it'll bomb out, then you activate Windows within 30 days so it's okay. You need to gain and apply that same level of product knowledge to all the components you apply to the system - including anything from NI or any other manufacturer. That said, if a user ignored an error for a month (whether that be from an activation issue or a hard fault) and then expected me to fix it immediately once it bombed out, I'd be having a stern talk to them.

QUOTE (Antoine Châlons @ May 8 2009, 09:08 AM) Are you sure there wasn't a nag warning screen that the operators just ignored for 30 days until it locked?

Anyone recognize the Justin Goeres designed sticker in the background?

QUOTE (ASTDan @ May 7 2009, 10:19 AM) There are a lot of standards that you could (and maybe should) read through, but until you really know the business that you'll be working in then it's difficult to suggest one or two generic docs for you to read. In my experience, the absolute most efficient way to learn this stuff is to work alongside someone who has experience in the regulated industry and the company (different companies use difference processes, and then in turn different implementations of those processes). Sorry that's not the answer you wanted to hear, but that's how I see it.
