Ton Plomp

Well I don't plan to blog on LAVA, however, since the LAVAG twitter account mentioned twice this option. (1 and 2 ) I was wondering If I had missed something. On the old blog I had some posts, but even the archives can't get them back. Ton

I don't think you can hide a string constant, it might be the hidden label of a string constant. What you could do is use the Clean up feature (ctrl-U) of LV2009 to get everything in a visible spot. Ton

On the Lava twitter account there was twice mentioned that you can post blog posts, however I cannot find the place where I can Add a blog post. If someone can point me, I could write a how-to or video. Ton

Yes flatten to string adds some bytes, (number of elements for instance and size of the total cluster, however you can turn the latter of). You might be looking for the Typecast function. However make sure you look at the section 'How LabVIEW stores data in memory' in the LabVIEW fundamentals help. Ton

Here's how the User DIV is formed using Opera's page-investigator: <img src="http://i.imgur.com/mXB45.png" alt="" title="Hosted by imgur.com" /> Ton

Michael, I'm using Opera (have looked at the site in Firefox and IE as well), and I have tweaked to use Opera at work with a strict (IE-only) proxy, so I can't use everything (like uploading pictures). Ton

Is it really meant to look like this <a href="http://imgur.com/fRVB5" title="Hosted by imgur.com">http://imgur.com/fRVB5</a>? Ton

Yes, I noticed the latter just yesterday. However it's not exactly compatible with my (more low-level) approach. Ton

Currently I'm struggeling with an OpenSource implementation of AES (Rijndael), especially running the supplied test-vectors. Ton

Brian, could you specify how you tweaked the firewall. I don't know where the OpenG packages are hosted (and I don't think IT is willing to open the firewall for sourceforge.net), so if you have any info on that please add. Ton

Most likely you use the wrong command, have a look at the 'String to [u8]' function, your function checks the embedded length (like a c-string pascal-string), but your string probably misses that info. Ton

The main reason is compatibility with older versions, since NI has openend the 'upgrade' functionalities they use internally (open up an old 6.x file VI and you'll see what I mean). So without breaking all the software allready utilizin OpenG we cannot move the files (we could deprecate the old locations though). And I have another perspective than NI, I've always assumed that everything inside vi.lib should be available on any LabVIEW install. This assumption alwasy told me to post add-ons into user.lib or instr.lib. So I'm in favour of the user.lib location. Ton

Thanks!

In the 4.0 release I miss the Rectangle package, is this by design? Ton

I agree that this bug hasn't been fixed. However I cannot put my finger on the actual bug. Changing the number of input columns is of influence of the bug. Ton

Not sure if we need a new one. But: LAVA, to whip LabVIEW

Based on the title, is this meant to be MarkDown compatible? That would be very nice! Ton
