I opened up the Read Write Class Data To File.lvproj Example and did some experimenting. It appears to work well. I assume the magic is in the datalog read function.

Actually, the S in TDMS stands for "Streaming". So I assume it should be optimized for speed, however we shouldn't assume anything. With version 8.0 and previous, the format was called TDM. It was changed and enhanced in 8.2 and is now called TDMS. I would be curious to see some benchmarks.

Actually, this feature was always there even in older LV versions. The lowest VI in the hierarchy causing the break went to the top of the list. NI broke it in 8.0 and then fixed it in 8.2. I think they added listbox icons in 8.2 as well.

Thanks for the link. I find it curious that people still like to see fake LED displays. I mean it's neat, but that's about it.

And NI is? Are you implying that LAbVIEW is Open?

The behavior was changed in 8.x.x I TOTALLY agree with you. This behavior SUCKS. I have beaten my head for hours trying to find workarounds. Even tried using window transparency, but no luck.

Sounds like an update with a resizable window is in order.

I am not ruling out banner ads. In fact, I have been experimenting with this to see how it can fit into LAVA. I am considering banner ads for normal members and hiding them for Premium Members.

PayPal is the payment processor for LAVA however you don't HAVE to have a Paypal membership. At the bottom of the PayPal processing page it gives you the option to use a credit card of your choice. I'm not sure if this is available in all countries.Premium membership is a way to get some additional features, indicate your support to the community and give the contribution a name so accounting can reimburse you. If, after getting a membership, you feel that you want to contribute more, click on the donate button and enter the amount of your choice. My goal for next year is to get enough funding to support a dedicated server. This will provide more bandwidth and eliminate the downtime that occurs about once a week (server reboot fixes this right now).

Can you describe it? I don't mean the shape and color.

Well, if it's warmer weather you desire then perhaps JKI is for you.

It seems like almost yesterday when I was the only person answering questions. I think LAVA is progressing well and I hope that more members surpass me in the number of posts...

Oh, OK. So I guess I should just send an email to NI and ask for a Licence? Great, I'll do that. Gee, I didn't think it would be so easy.

Ok, let's start the rumour mill... What @#$%& scripting licence?

AutoMessageRouting.zip CRELF Hey guys and gals. This thread is the beginning of a potentially long thread. Here, whenever the need arises, I will select a LAVA member who I feel has been a significant contributor and or helper. I think it's fitting to start this thread by spotlighting a member who has helped me quit a bit over the last few months: crelf. Chris has helped a lot in supporting the code repository by reviewing code submissions. He has also posted an astounding number of posts. I think he will surpass me as the number one poster pretty soon. Keep up the good work!!

Well, perhaps a future enahancement to this VI would be to have an additional output boolean: "not empty path". This way, a simple OR function on our part can provide the complete functionality most commonly desired in test systems these days. An empty path is usually not desirable and can cause systems to throw errors most of the time. BTW, I didn't intend that my comment be an attack. It's just that it's really really wierd to see so many OpenG functions being duplicated within LV8.x.x. Perhaps it's just that NI's LV development team is noticing limitations in the current feature set just like we are.

It's nice to see that NI is "borrowing" some ideas from the community and including some functionality already available from OpenG. However, please do it right... The function located here: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\utility\libraryn.llb\Check if File or Folder Exists.vi Returns a value of TRUE when fed an empty path. .

You should have tried: +image +web +Datascoket (spelling). However just plain "Datasocket" works too.

You could have just pointed them to this link: Downloading an image from a Web server using Datasocket From 3 years ago...

Keep dreaming.

In case you're still interested...

I always assumed this was the case in the past. So this means you will implement what everybody thought already happened? Sounds like a plan!

Hey, no skin off my back. That's why there are spell checkers and you can edit your post on LAVA for at least 24hrs after your post.
