  1. I'm confident you have data to support your argument. However, I've been burned so many times that I cannot keep track of if it was fixed or what version it was fixed or even if it was fixed but is buggy and it works only under certain conditions. I have lost money because of this and don't risk it anymore. Sorry. But the fact that it was an issue for so many years and only addressed in 2015, gives me pause. Again, not doubting your statement, but I don't trust it.
  2. I strongly suggest you don't even touch NXG. LabVIEW 2018 has Python support if that's what you need.
  3. It's worse than what you show. I see a lot of typedefs there. One issue with your approach is that there is no guarantee your values will remain when you update your typedefs. I have been using LabVIEW long enough to know that you should never trust typedefs on the block digram to keep the values when they get updated. I would change your code right now because it will fail in the future.
  4. Please check again. I think something got changed in the upgrade, but i think i fixed it now. You can use this forum for testing: https://lavag.org/forum/2-for-testing/
  5. Creating a crio image is a little different than changing the entire OS stack from Windows to Linux. You can image a crio using the Replication and Deployment utility. I use this all the time. I think you would need to get the installation image NI uses to setup that specific Linux cRIO and some instructions. NI has the image and they can choose to give it to you or not. If they can't provide it due to warranty or licensing issues. Then they should offer a service where you send it in so they can do it for free or even a fee. It's not unreasonable to ask for a service fee since this is not a common request. However, considering the astronomical cost of the hardware, they should do this without question. In the past, when I've requested things from support that are out of the ordinary, they tend to shrug it off. However, once I get a sales rep involved and explain the customer need and criticality of the situation, then they have the power to get support to do anything. NI should be doing this, not you.
  6. Not sure what's going on but their download speed is a snails pace across the board.
  7. I mentioned that I would make an announcement when new account creation will be available. Well, today's the day! I added a google captcha system on the Wiki so it will prevent bot registrations. I think this is working. I haven't seen any spammers for a couple days that it's been running. So if you have the urge to contribute or use the Wiki for your LabVIEW related content, then go right ahead. There's no restriction at the moment to what content is allowed. As long as it relates to LabVIEW in some way and adds some useful information. There will be ongoing editing of course as content comes in.
  8. Hey LAVA worshipers! Just wanted to update y'all on recent changes to the site. LAVA and the WIKI are now running on a dedicated server. You will notice that the site runs faster because of this. Also because of the transfer, we got more disk space which will help if we want to host a repo in the future. Anyway, just wanted to keep you in the loop so you know that there's work happening behind the scenes to keep the LAVA site running smoothly and with the latest features. Some of the funds for this comes from the site ads and some comes from the yearly LAVA BBQ. So thank you all for your contributions and support.
  9. Proud to say that lavag.org and labviewwiki.org both get an A rating from an SSL labs security check. Even better than ni.com which is getting a B rating. 😎
  10. Check out the awesome home page updates that @The Q has made. Huge improvement. I love it! https://labviewwiki.org
  11. @Antoine Chalons doesn't have to write the session reference back to the class. But he also can still keep the class object out.
  12. Have you investigated a source distribution? It should pull in the DLL since they are referenced by the VIs.
  13. You need to have 3 levels. The first one is for the cheap bastards. The third one is for the rich bastards, and the middle one is for everyone else. You have to identify with one level.
  14. Ya, but at least I can checkout the EasyXML repo locally and even fork it, which I have.
  15. Yes, I ran into this issue as well. I couldn't upgrade a customer PC to Windows 10 because I was using LV2014. So then I decided to upgrade to LV2018, but the customer had 1 PC running WindowsXP. yes. XP. So that aborted the whole upgrade, just for 1 PC. So the highest I could go was LV2015.
  16. Yes, but ignoring the IPE error out on read as well? I would think that you would want to know if the IPE structure fails completely. This would be a sign of a bad DVR ref.
  17. That's great @Rolf Kalbermatter . If we can figure out this last piece, then it would go a long way to allowing improvements to the library. I think it would also be useful to document this procedure somewhere, perhaps in the Wiki. However, I think the answer might be: email JKI to get it released.
  18. After I made this post I decided to bring the LabVIEW Wiki back online. It was not easy and took several days of server upgrades and hacking. The good news is I was able to bring up all the original pages.. The even better news is I talked with @The Q and @hooovahh and we are all on the same page as to how to move forward. @The Q did a great job of stepping forward and trying to fill the void that the LabVIEW Wiki's absence had left. He's agreed to migrate all the new content he created over to the LabVIEW Wiki, from Fandom and continue to develop new articles and content moving forward on the new site. He will also help in moderating the Wiki and will be promoted to Admin rights on the Wiki. His help is much appreciated. The LabVIEW landing page created here on LAVA is awesome but the forums don't lend themselves to static content creation. Instead @hooovahh has agreed to move the old landing page to here. That will be the new home for the landing page. This will become a valuable resource for the community and I hope all of you start pointing new people in that direction. With many editors, it can only get better and better over time. Where do we go from here: Logging in. - The old accounts are still there. If you're a LAVA old-timer, then you can try to login using your LAVA username. If the password doesn't work then reset it. You can also create a new account here. I'm going to announce a day when new accounts can be created. I'm limiting it for now because of all the spam accounts that can be potentially created. There's an issue with the current Captcha system. if you are super-eager to start creating content now and want to help, send me a direct message on LAVA and I can manually create an account right away. - New account creation is now open. Permitted content: - I'm not going to put restrictions on content at the moment. Obvious vandalism or offensive\illegal content will not be tolerated of course. However, the guidelines will be adjusted as time goes on and new content is created. There's just not enough content right now to be overly concerned about this. We need content. Discussions about the Wiki. - Each article page has an associated discussions page where you can discuss issues related to that article. Please use that mechanism (same etiquette as wikipedia). General Wiki issues\questions and high level discussions can be done here. So now, if you need to add content, you can do it yourself. Feedback as always is welcome.
