  1. The second screenshot only pertains to one of the conflicting VIs in the list. Hopefully that helps you narrow down the difference. The rest of the VIs match the first screenshot. I'll see if I can get the ActiveX versions from both machines. They are usually fairly up to date on updates, so I'd be a little surprised if they aren't the same. This is also for just one project. I've seen this saving behavior with multiple projects, but can't confirm the second screenshot issues. I can generate more screenshots for various projects if you think this an actual bug in the toolkit.
  2. Here's a couple results.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. You can read multiple elements from a DMA FIFO.
  11. Yeah, I can't take credit for it, but it did take some thinking to google how to google recursively.

  13. 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.
  14. Logmein Central +Free (regular free is now defunct) is a fairly cost effective solution compared to TeamViewer.
  15. 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.

  17. 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.
  18. I can't help but strongly suggest LIFA (LabVIEW Interface for Arduino) http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/209835
  19. I got an automatic email with a new PDF certificate with the new date on it.
  20. I think your link is borked.
  21. Thanks Rolf! Good tips!
