  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. You can read multiple elements from a DMA FIFO.
  6. Yeah, I can't take credit for it, but it did take some thinking to google how to google recursively.

  8. 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.
  9. Logmein Central +Free (regular free is now defunct) is a fairly cost effective solution compared to TeamViewer.
  10. 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.

  12. 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.
  13. I can't help but strongly suggest LIFA (LabVIEW Interface for Arduino) http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/209835
  14. I got an automatic email with a new PDF certificate with the new date on it.
  15. I think your link is borked.
  16. Thanks Rolf! Good tips!
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Hey guys. I've finally gotten motivation (and funding) to go get a CLA. Any help or suggestions you have for preparing would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to make it to the March summit. I have read older posts, but I've also heard some news about changes to the test, so I decided to make a new post to hopefully capture more recent info. Thanks for all the help you can provide and I'll hopefully see you guys in a few short weeks! (if not, I'll blame the higher-ups for not approving the trip instead of me crashing and burning on this test)
  20. I got to watch it afterwards, so not live for me. I really enjoyed it and will definitely watch the episodes to come! Thanks guys!
  21. Ah. Yeah... I guess that's why we have jobs at least?
