Search the Functions Palette for "Create Folder".

Yes ... clients can be difficult. Another solution is to use local variables (faster) or property nodes (slower) within an event structure to determine which has been switched and update the other one. Note: you will need to make sure the Boolean is Switched, not Latched. A simple example is below (use only the property node OR the local variable!)

The simplest method is to create a local variable (Right mouse button on the control --> Create --> local variable). Either wire it off your true statement (add the negate), or put a false constant inside the loop and wire it to the local variable outside it. Hope this helps

This sounds like a good chance to improve your LabView skills ... To get started do a search for image acquisition examples, you need to get images in reliably before you can analyse them. Then you'll need to start working with the Vision and Motion Toolkits, specifically the Machine Vision --> OCR (Optical character recognition) features. There are examples on their use, so use them to help you learn. Once you have something roughly working (or at least planned and partially implemented) then members here will be more than happy to help.

We are in the process of doing just that! Take a look at the following link (or google iTweezers ) and you'll see some LabView on the iPad. We're currently working closely with the NI guys directly to get this performing better, but we have implemented the basics for now.Other examples can be seen on our youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/BristolNanoPhysics#p/u We're currently working towards an add-on package for everyone.

The error you are experiencing appears to occur in that you are taking a regular string output (using the "Number to Hexadecimal String") and assuming that it is a Hexadecimal string (it's not, it's a regular string but displays numbers in hexadecimal notation). You also seem to be doing this in very complex manner. To simplify it you could make a string indicator which displays Hex output. You could also create a control which switches between views (normal, \ codes, etc). This should simplify the debugging.

Is it possible to dynamically replace an XControl on a front panel? Alternately, is it possible to create a polymorphic XControl? Specifically, I am developing a library of XControls and want to modify the Representation, i.e. change the XControl from a DBL to, say, a U64. Other options are also welcome! Thanks in advance DaveC
