I may reproduce it later today, but I never gave it much more than a quick "why on earth does it need to save all of those?" before hitting save and letting it go. You make a good point that I could probably answer my own question with a couple clicks. It seems to always happen when I'm in a hurry and don't have time to investigate.

I've wondered similar things. I encounter this quite often with the report generation toolkit. I work from a desktop at the office and a laptop at customer locations. All the source code is kept in sync, but in either direction it seems to want to save all of the report generation toolkit files. It never causes a problem and I let it do what it wants, but I've wondered what is going on. Identical versions are on both machines of both LV and the toolkit.

Should an application have File >> Exit?
Jordan Kuehn replied to Aristos Queue's topic in LabVIEW General
It usually depends on the customer for me. Some customers get no menu bar. Other customers really miss a menu bar so I'll make them a custom menu which has some minimal functions. Then some applications really just need a real menu with lots of functionality in it. In the latter two cases I'll include a File>>Exit. -
I would be very interested to hear from someone who is using LastPass. I've been on the fence for a few months and this very well could be the tipping point.

Reading fixed size of elements using FPGA FIFO

Reading fixed size of elements using FPGA FIFO
Jordan Kuehn replied to Yang's topic in Application Design & Architecture
I understood, but yes some might not. The point I was trying to get across is that in that situation a timeout is better than nothing, i.e. waiting/polling the entire time for the number of elements to become available. Either way, the picture is the better approach and allows the loop to do other things. -
Reading fixed size of elements using FPGA FIFO
Jordan Kuehn replied to Yang's topic in Application Design & Architecture
A picture says a thousand words , but yes I included both parts to demonstrate a good way to check if the elements exist before attempting to read them. Regarding your last point, I would suggest at least employing a timeout if someone isn't going to do the initial check. The host loop should be structured in such that it doesn't need data every iteration (if you are looking for a chunk of buffered data), or manually provide your own polling by placing something like what I have in the picture in a loop with a timing element. -
Reading fixed size of elements using FPGA FIFO

You can read multiple elements from a DMA FIFO. -
Yeah, I can't take credit for it, but it did take some thinking to google how to google recursively.

Will they let you modify the drum? I've had some customers employ black spray paint in some places to help things out and were able to add it to their maintenance schedule.

Logmein Central +Free (regular free is now defunct) is a fairly cost effective solution compared to TeamViewer.

I know the student version has been around, but this is LV being distributed to the hobbyist market regardless of the version. I do agree that a home/personal version would be very nice and help expand the scope of the language.

What's the "correct" way to resize an XY graph?
Jordan Kuehn replied to mje's topic in User Interface
Same here. -
I have run into this on a few systems and have to manually handle decimating the data sets that are displayed on a long term data logger. It's fairly frustrating, but works.

Arduino RS232 Interfacing
Jordan Kuehn replied to marc426's topic in Application Design & Architecture
I can't help but strongly suggest LIFA (LabVIEW Interface for Arduino) http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/209835 -
I got an automatic email with a new PDF certificate with the new date on it.

What third party LabVIEW tools do you use the most?
Jordan Kuehn replied to David_L's topic in LabVIEW General
I think your link is borked. -
Thanks Rolf! Good tips!

Well to make a long story short it didn't happen. Some winter weather hit Oklahoma in the week in question and they needed me to drive to Dallas to take the exam since we don't have a rep in OK currently. At this point, since there is no hope of me rescheduling in time for the summit, I plan to take it in a couple months when we have an OK rep and I don't waste 8 hours on the road. I'm a little bummed because I was finally ready to take it, but I'll just hope to have it by NI Week and will watch the videos from the summit if they get uploaded again this year.

The guy at NI I spoke with today said it's possible, but it sounds like I'll be taking it within a weeks time. I've been casually preparing, but now it's time to actually get ready for it.
