  1. 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!!

  2. 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.

  3. This is less an indication of disrespect and more an indication of the nature of the beast - a text which is written fast and will often only be read once, so it's not always perfect.
    I think this is true for emails but not true for web publishing. Oh, wait a minute; you didn't realize you were publishing? Well, you are. As we speak, several websites are sucking in the LAVA RSS feed and displaying the posts on there front page. Your message is crawled by Google and Yahoo on a weekly basis and added to the archive of information which will be scanned by future researchers looking for help on LabVIEW programming or other strange keywords. Once it's out there baby, it's permanent. For the world to see.
  4. I've been looking around at other forums to see how they handle homework hustlers. Apparently we are VERY generous here. On other sites, these types of questions are discarded to the trash and the members scolded and sometimes banned. I think our approach is a little better. At least we give them a chance to redeem themselves. As far as PM, or IM. That's a definite no-no and if a member feels they're being harassed in this way, let me know and I'll take care of it.

  5. Most LV users are not programmers by education, and, honestly, the VIs that I see reflect that. I'll grant that most of the user VIs that I see are in bug reports, and I rarely see entire systems, so I may not have a good view, but some of the progrsamming choices that I see are clearly "something that works" and not "the right way to do it." I can see this being true of many fields -- the self-taught person is sharp, clearly able to produce, but perhaps has never seen some of the standard ways of doing things, and thus ends up producing systems that are hard for others to use/modify.
    No offense but in the world of LabVIEW applications/systems, my opinion is that NI has a limited view of what real LabVIEW applications look like. I realize that you qualified your statement but I was also offended. There are many reason why you or other NI staff will never see good code. One of them is that a lot of developers including myself simply don't trust NI. You only see what we let you see. :ninja: .
  6. What are the terms? Visitors? Registered Users? Active users? Users per time period? Page hits per time period? ...
    All visitors regardless. From about 2 weeks ago.

    BTW, hooovahh, you need to shrink your signature. When it's bigger than your post contents then that's a sign it's too big.
