I think this is my XML file...Had to zip it to allow the post. As an example, you can see that this entire thread shows up in here.

1-lava-forums.zip

Where did you get this file from? Is this stored locally? This is not the current content from LAVA. The latest XML file can be retrieved from here.

This issue is now resolved. Everyone can report posts now.

Admin edit: this post was reported successfully by Ton Plomp with the following text: "This is a test report"

I wonder if this is an outlook issue. As I said, not happening for me in Google Reader. Does deleting the item from outlook signal to outlook that it should retrieve it again next time? Doesn't make sense. RSS is just an updated XML file. It doesn't have a cache or any smarts. It just has the latest content.

I'd like to see the XML file you are linking to with evidence that it contains duplicate entries.

I'm still seeing this and it seems to be getting worse. Is anyone else still having this issue? I'm deleting the same thread 4 or 5 times a day sometimes. Anytime someone posts to a thread I get the entire thread in my RSS feed. I've tried deleting and re-creating the feed, but that didn't help. This is with new (LAVA 2.0) and old (1.0) threads.

Yes this issue is still present because those threads are probably being moved from the 1.0 forum to the 2.0 forum and somebody replied to it. It's not getting worse, it just depends on the number of old topics that have new replies. Once the full thread is received in your reader once, you should only see the new replies from then on, not the old ones anymore. I use Google reader and this is the behavior I see.

This is a feature.

Still not possible (Premium member).

However this post, needs to be reported because hidden text is used to generate links to websites.

Thanks I took care of it.

I'm working on fixing the reporting problem. Already reported it to support. Awaiting response.

On my top-level front panel I have quite a few controls and indicator a number of which need updating from lower in the code (as we all often do).

A lot of my style to tidy things up was to cluster common control / indicators together, I would then create references to these clusters and other controls / indicators on the front panel. All these references would then themselves be clustered together and, in the JKI state machine world these clusters of references would then going to shirft registar so they could be accessed everywhere by just pulling them out of the cluster as and where required.

You can also create a case in your state machine called: "Update UI", then pull the values out using a "Get Data" Method. Then just write the data to the UI using local variables. I know that this may not cover all your scenarios, but it's the method I use most often. For some reason I feel dirty when I use control references.

VI Scripting link doesn't work:-( Takes me to the main page again.

Just stumbled across this new feature in LV2009:

Build Application from VI

I think everyone's missing the point of the DVR. The biggest benefit of the DVR, IMO, is the ability to use the IPE (In Place Element) structure to read write data. Using the structure provides exclusive lock to the data access AND eliminates copies. Doing this with a SEQ (Single element queue) is a PITA and requires a whole bunch of lock and unlock code. On top of that you create extra data copies when you read the queue element.

Data Value Reference Read / Write Element Border Node

Hey Alfa, you should update your profile image too, not just your avatar.

I've been playing with 2009 today and I'm impressed, I love the ability to now build by ref objects using Data Value Reference and the in place DVR Read Write, this is brilliant.

I've been playing with an OOP framework and I've knocked up a simple demo. Have a play

I looked at your example. My understanding of Object References is different. See Images.

One issue to resolve with this method is dynamic dispatching. It seems that you can't do dynamic dispatching using Data Value reference terminals. Hopefully this will be added in a future LabVIEW release. In the meantime you will probably have to do dynamic dispatching inside the In Place Element Structure.

I've recorded a screencast and was surprised to see that the various menus didn't appear in the final product. Here's the video. Can you help me get this to work?

Thanks,

What version of Camtasia are you using? I'm using V6 and it works just fine for me. No issues. You can also try Jing which is made by the same company. Jing is just a recorder (you can't do editing) but maybe you will get different results.

One more thing, in your Camtasia recorder options try enabling layered window recording.

...If you don't mind me asking what did you use to edit that video?

The software demo's were done primarily with Camtasia Studio. The graphic animation section was done in Powerpoint and captured via Camtasia. I also had to do some Photoshop work on some of the images.

Yes, the LAVA lounge is currently open to serve you...

All of us have strange sideline interests that can be tapped into. For example, I've made a MAME machine and I'm currently building an HTPC. I'm also getting pretty good and making videos for the web (I can help with gear, editing and publishing). I put together the latest VIPM video.

Of course, most of us have to interface LabVIEW with actual hardware. So it requires knowledge beyond programming to get the job done.

I just posted an image. It seems to work fine. Have you tried the standard uploader? What browser and version are you using?

This is now resolved.

Note: This file has now been moved to the LAVA CR. You can download the latest here.

Continue support discussions about it here.

But the one difference is that you say it's locked.

That's the confusing part.

He means the Block Diagram is password protected.

Wow, that's a good one. I'll look into it.

Works for me:

The trick is to make sure that company A doesn't slap on a more restrictive license of their own. If you can't improve the code then maybe someone else in the community can. You want to make sure the license allows that.

Speaking of NI's Instrument Driver Network. Can someone tell me what license those drivers are under?

Some interesting twitter stats.

This is not for 2009. Probably 2010.

You can all sign up to be lead users for this and all the other cool technologies presented at niweek here. I would hurry before NI shuts down that page.
