Congratulations! i think you deserve it! For the grading system, I guess it may depend on who's grading...

Neil thanks for the input, I'll try to make it more neat, meaning I really need to code faster. To answer your question: I don't know, this seemed to be the right thing to do as I get the value at the moment the value changes (in case I have multiple states in the FIFO), but I think your method is simpler and maybe the best way to handle this (and it's simpler/faster). thanks. Do you think I would pass with a bit more practice or there are some major improvements needed?

Hi all, I'm just starting preparing for the CLD exam and I'd like to get some feedback on my coding style. I think my documentation is weak, and I have some functionality issues (slides doesn't seem to work so I added a digital display I dunno what I've done wrong).I did not used tip strips for FP objects as it seems like they removed it from the exam requirements. I found the time limit to be tight (maybe I'll get 15 extra minutes with the new format as I don't need to make the front panel) Can you please rate my code? Best regards, Rodéric Boiler Controler.zip

IMO, it would be best to have the toolkits under the palette that fits. I mean its easier to have all the communication functions under the same palette right? But, I understand it would be nice to have all the LAVA tools under the same palette from a "marketing" point of view. So both ideas make sense to me.

I agree with crelf on the parallel process model. There are examples shipped with TestStand in the example directory you should have a look at them.

Well I know you've got one, your HMIs and posts on the forum were really helpfull. (we can't buy it because: We don't want the TestStand execution view (so I created a custom one), and we want to reuse the code in every project involving TestStand so we don't want to pay for a licence...)

I am building an API in LabVIEW to use TestStand and create our own Operator Interface. I am now writing some related documentation (finishing my internship at the end of the mounth).

You can also find a discussion on parallel for loops here on LAVA

Congratulations JG for your involvement in the community!

Congrats :worshippy: (there is a certification sub forum)

Well, I doubt there would be a way to get the pro version for free... Glitch is not so annoying once you remember you saved 5.000$

Hi, LabVIEW for everyone has all the material you need. You have to study the first 9 chapters, then you can read chapter 13. The other chapters are worth a read but aren't necessary. learning from that book, I found the CLAD exam pretty easy. (I also took the 2 sample exams you can find on ni.com) Regards

Just include the driver in the dependencies, be sure to include VISA and whatever driver you are using with the installer and everything should work just fine.

Hi, After finishing your LabVIEW program, you may want to compile it as an EXE, then build an installer to distribute it. (Be sure to include all dependencies and drivers in your exe/installer)

Hi, I have little experience but I thought a lot on how to become a better programmer: - I currently have a mentor who helped me a lot, my skills rocketed benefiting from his good advices - I will join a top LabVIEW consulting firm - talking with programmers (CVI etc..) helped me aswell because they also have good ideas you can implement in LabVIEW. - I also built my hown book library which helped me through certification

Hi, I think the NI manuals are the best way to understand how testStand works if you want to learn from scratch. TestStand is not an easy tool you'll master reading a powerpoint.

Problem solved by shuting down the engine, then restarting. Don't know if I did it the right way but it works! it also seems like you have to close the Engine reference in every subVI , TestStand doesn't release the reference on his own every time (I got a popup error message) BTW: starting the engine by calling the IEngine.GetEngine method doesn't work.

Maybe he thinks it's too obvious to be explained. Maybe unfair = lame for a teenager ???

Maybe you should ask them directly: info@saphir.fr

Hi, If you are using LV 2010, have you considered using network stream? I'm using it to share data beetwin VIs in different applications. regards Rodéric

Do the signals have the same patern?

I was guessing it may start the engine if you call the IEngine.GetEngine method. Maybe there is another way to configure a test station for every program the station may have to run (with different fileglobals etc)?

Dear LAVA folks, I'm trying to set TestStand Cfg directory from LabVIEW. See attached file. This works fine only if I restart TestStand. I understand I only need to shutdown the Engine. My question is how can I restart the Engine without restarting everything? (there is no such thing as Start Engine method) Could a GetEngine method work? What would be the best way to accomplish this task? I don't want my customer to restart the software. Thanks in advance. Rodéric

Hi, there's an UI interst group on NI website, you'll find some cool stuff you can add to your UI. https://decibel.ni.c...ps/ui?view=blog (I have the same problem I'm pretty uncreative when it comes to UI design) regards, Rodéric

Is there a popup message requiring a password?
