The hosts I've looked at so far don't allow the repos to be hidden from the hosts' admins. Does anyone know of a "secure" hosting solution?

I don't know of any like that, and would point you to doing it yourself if you wanted to truly trust it.  RhodeCode that I mentioned before would be at the top of my list.

To clarify, are you saying that you want the functionality of the vision development system, but your user doesn't want to pay for the runtime license?

Perhaps the best solution is active mods.  This seems to fall into the "I know it when I see it" category.

I do suggest reading through my linked document. It will give you some help determining which implementation is best for your use case. At a very very rough guess if an FGV works for you, a Network Shared Variable (NSV) may be a better solution for you. There are some out-of-the-box solutions from NI and a few others that transition to a custom implementation. The important thing is to understand the options and choose what is best for your application. Good luck with your choice. More details and I think we'd be more than wiling to guide you to the appropriate transport mechanism.

You will need to implement some communication mechanism to pass data back and forth between the two targets.  Try reading the material here.

That's essentially the same thing?

Try adjusting the thresholds on the peak detection..  I debated including a graph of the derivative or not. It will behave differently than the RMS, and I'm not even suggesting it is the best option, but it can be useful.

Use the AC & DC Estimator VI to measure Vrms and just note when Vrms changes.

If you went this route you could replace the hilbert function with this implementation in what I sent you and still capture the transitions in a similar fashion.  Lots of options.

Here is one simple implementation using a Hilbert Transform and taking a derivative of the envelope. Here's some reading that covers way more about this transform than matters for this discussion, but has a nice picture at the bottom of page 8.

Something similar could be done with the ptbypt RMS suggestion you have on your dark side thread.. Take what you want from it.

Thanks for all of these!!

Hi Shaun.

 

Would it be of any help if  start doing a flow chart of the execution functions of the program? I haven't done it yet, but I just wanted to check if it would be of any help.

In general it is almost always beneficial to spend some time in advance modeling what you want it to do before actually touching any code.  The cases where it isn't are typically trivial.

I think it's a great idea.  It can be a pain to switch back and forth between the block diagram and project explorer at times.  I'll download and take a look, but I can't promise any cool tricks to fix your crashes.

Has anyone figured out how to export the agenda to a calendar file?  Either I'm missing something or they've removed the best feature.  I want to get it into my work calendar so it shows up on my phone without using the app.

Something like this happened to me in LV 2011.  After going through many posts and having no success, I was able to move the project to 2012 and have not had the issue since with either existing 2011 projects or the one moved to 2012.  YMMV, and I would hardly call it a fix.

They are just like any other cluster when it comes to setting the value.  The more interesting question is how to determine what your ROI is at runtime.  This will likely require some user input or some image processing if it's not a static region.

The web interface seems to be working fine now.  And the app works too.  You must use the forgot password tool to get an initial password, apparently, to get the app to work.

I was able to book all my sessions.  Not too bad this year.  Got all my #1 choices and only had to skip a few #2s due to conflicts.

Ah, I misinterpreted the email.  The "/" character separates the user name and password rather than providing some extra secure password.  Doh!

The app is in the iPhone app store.  NIWeek 2013.  It has times for everything, but you have to log in to schedule anything.  I have been unsuccessful so far.  It sent me a password, but it doesn't seem to work.

No it doesn't provide allow to change it to VI .

Yes, yes it does.  You are looking for "Open Front Panel" when you right click.  Works for the acquisition and assistant express VIs (and every express VI I've seen).

Are deployed systems guaranteed internet access and the ability to ping a license server?

Sometimes

I'd be interested in both options.  I imagine that the license server route would allow for a silent activation which could be nice.  A non-networked option would be nice too.  Like I mentioned, my one-off quick solutions have involved a static file, but some sort of serial key would be preferable.  I just don't want to go do a bunch of work developing something that I feel has almost certainly been done many many times.

From time to time I have the need to provide a customer with an executable, but have it only work for a fixed period of time unless it gets 'activated'.  In the past I've employed some one-off solutions of my own using hidden files, registry keys, and whatnot.  This seems cumbersome and is a bit strange to apply an 'activation', i.e. update the file/key/whatever to a known good value.  I know NI has a Third Party Licensing toolkit, but the options for an exe require buying a third party licensing server that can take payment from paypal and such.  I don't need this complexity or the added cost.  My question is, what do you guys employ?  Is there a simple solution to this or does it require building up a more complete activation scheme from scratch?

I'll be there!  First timer.  No hazing I hope and plenty of :beer_mug: ?

I just got registered today!  Now to book a hotel...
