I guess the question is, why did NI feel the need to change this behavior. It worked fine for so many years with the old way.

Why not just increase the Font size of the legend only? Seems to work for me.

I guess the easiest way would be just find one off-off the web somewhere and use it.

When you first installed XP it probably asked you to create an Administrator account. Can you use this login to get in?

This requires you to enter your birth date in your profile. Unfortunately many are hesitant to do so.

Ed, I'm not sure what the big deal is. I understand the behavior but if you just manually make it visible then invisible right away, everything works as desired. Under what conditions is this a big problem?

Oh you sneaky devil you. How about that.... A simple search inside of the LabVIEW.EXE reveals a whole bunch of ini settings. Wow, who would have thought. "Nudge nudge, wink wink... You know what I mean, you know what I mean?" Sorry for the Monty Python reference.

I've tested this feature successfully on LV61, 70, and 71. It does NOT work on LV60.

Hey, I think this is our first LAVA baby! This calls for a special LAVA gift! Give me your address via PM, I will send the little one a LAVA T-shirt! Hmm, I think I might have size problem... :laugh: So now everyone knows how to get a free T-shirt... Have a baby! Congratulations. PS. Thanks for the image Sarah!

I see, so I cannot perform any functions that are on the "Color Processing Functions" Tab correct?

OK you imaging gurus out there. I need some basics help. I'm running NI Vision Builder AI and everything looks ok. I've been able to do measurements and pass-fail on the image. The problem I'm having is when I try to do image processing in Vision Assistant. Whenever I try to do color processing on the image I get the error: "The type of image acquired is not supported by this step." This makes no sense since the acquired image coming right from the camera is 8bits.

I noticed an interesting pallete on the bottom right... Are those probes?

Anime is cool! :thumbup:

This is in reference to this folder: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\project If you put a VI on that folder, the next time LV launches, it will load it in your Tools menu in your LV development environment. It will show up as an item in that menu for easy access.

I guess the point I was really trying to make is that the time allocated to the write function will be the same regardless if the file is 1k or 10MB. If it is the longest time compared to all of your other code is another issue. By the nature of it, it will be longer since it's disk IO. The best would be to buffer it in a functional global and save it when the program exits or at a time when the software is idle. Of course if the computer crashes.... your outta luck.

Really? Have you benchmarked this? My impression of the append mode is that it is very fast. LV is smart enough to know that it does not need to open the whole file when appending. The only time it loads the whole file in memory is when you need to read the file and put the data on a wire. It could be the way that the 'Write Characters to File.vi' is programmed. Try using the lower level functions, see attached image. The image assumes the text file already exists.

Yes, isn't it strange how wife's actually want you to talk to them? I'm in the same house, isn't that enough?

Here are the hourly stats for the month of September. The server is located at -6 GMT.

I was hoping more for a custom probe a la LV7.0...

Here is an example of how you would do this. You can assume that the code can be placed in a subvi.

OOh! This sound like a cool challenge. Anyone got this coded yet?

Well, i'm glad all of you found the chat room. I'm still planning to put out an official announcement but I guess I haven't. We can organize 1 or 2 standard chat times when the forum regulars will be online. This way anyone with LV questions can get quickly get them answered. I really don't know what the potential of this can be. We'll just have to experiment with different concepts until we find something that fits. In the meantime, if you see someone online and you want to chat with them, send them a PM and invite them into the room...
