I just added a stats page for the Code Repository (Downloads) area. Code Repository Statistics The link to this is accessible from the footer of the Code Repository homepage. It's called: Downloads system statistics

QUOTE(swchica18 @ Oct 10 2007, 07:52 PM) Yes, you can. Did you try entering a filepath in the box labeled "file path". ..oh, and then run the VI using the arrow button thingie in the top left corner.

Try using the "sort array" function in the array palette.

QUOTE(Christina Rogers @ Oct 9 2007, 08:38 AM) Yes that's great Christina, but... NI always sticks to some (still unknown to me) strange internal policy of not going "all the way". Why? Case in point: http://lavag.org/old_files/monthly_10_2007/post-2-1192075100.png' target="_blank"> Why can't I apply the right-click setting (that you just mentioned) to more than one item at a time? Aaarggg!!

Thanks, here is the result... much better.

I don't know what the "NI recommended way" is because they don't have any documentation on this, but here is how I'm doing it and it works:

How about detachable event structure nodes? Download File:post-2-1192008950.vi (V8.5)

Does anyone know how to replace the ugly 3d cursor tree with the system tree? I already tried doing a simple replace in the control editor but I always crash LabVIEW 8.5 every time.

Could this be related? I see it in my dependancy list: But no such items exists in the project file.

QUOTE(tcplomp @ Oct 9 2007, 10:33 PM) Yes, remove it but how?

I think this will be an interesting thread. Let's try something else: Attached VI is in 8.5 and need TS 4.0 Download File:post-2-1191982523.vi

QUOTE(MikaelH @ Oct 9 2007, 05:31 PM) Ya well, that's total http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_shit' target="_blank">BS. It's pretty sad that TestStand was made by the same company that makes LabVIEW. You can't tell.

I would like to be able to remove an element from the register for events callback node.

Whenever the dependency list is updated, the project changes.

QUOTE(torekp @ Oct 9 2007, 04:40 AM) Just in case? Just in case of what? What will happen if it's not re-entrant? QUOTE(torekp @ Oct 9 2007, 04:40 AM) ...Say I've got a mid-level VI that opens a connection to an Oracle database, reads a table, and closes the connection, and I use this mid-level VI all over the place. Make it re-entrant? How does it work now? Is it broken? I would assume the answer is no. Everything works just fine doesn't it? Re-entrancy is overated. In fact, it may make break a perfectly working program. Normal (non re-entrant) VI's provide Mutexing for free. Most people forget this and end up adding a lot more code to get something that a standard VI provides for free. My rule of thumb is, don't use reentrant VI's unless you are having serious timing issues with parallel processes waiting too long to access a common VI. There are also other use case that can only be done with re-entrant VI's. For example recursion, cloned front panels etc. other uses are common subVI's used in XControls. QUOTE(torekp @ Oct 9 2007, 04:40 AM) In general: any good rules of thumb, not already contained in the aforementioned wiki, would be appreciated. Reminder to all. If you participate in a forum thread and realize that something you are discussing should go on the LabVIEW Wiki, then put it in the LabVIEW Wiki. Even if it's incomplete, others will fill in the gaps.

That's mean Chris. That freakin' video's on a loop... Of course the population keeps decreasing, so it kinda gives you some hope that it will end somewhere...

I hope they consider some of the other things on my list... http://forums.lavag.org/New-8x-application...tter-t4172.html

Is that an Easter egg where you have to look at it cross-eyed and you see 3D images or something? They're called stereograms.

Here's the VI, bonus to whoever figures it out... and yes, it works as expected. The caller will be broken if this output is not wired.

QUOTE(Jim Kring @ Oct 6 2007, 12:11 PM) I agree... more cow bell.

Ya, this is a great feature in 8.5 eh?
