whts their to show u man...I have given all the steps I did...its a straight forward question....

NAGWI,

this is going to sound harsh:

Drop the express VIs, and move over to DAQmx VIs, otherwise we can't see what you have configured so we can't help you!

Ton

Ton,

Create a VI with and instance of the XControl on its Front Panel and then edit the palette such that this VI is set as a "Merge VI".

Thought about that but it just seem unnatural.

At home it works, I think I seriously have to reinstall my work laptop... (that will cost me a day or 2!).

On interesting thing is that at home I couldn't find my controls palette when editing. Had to edit my labview.ini to get it back. (was probably gone when dual monitoring)

Ton

Crosspost warning

Has anybody succeeded in placing an Xcontrol in the palette of the Front Panel?

I tried but have not succeeded..... :thumbdown:

Ton

PS - who's Jimi?

He moved into the rusty nails forum

Ton

Hi Nagwi,

could you tell how the channel is configured? It should be RSE and not NRSE/differential(default)

Ton

Maybe not a big thing, but if you're, like me, indexing all VI/CTL icons in mem to find all defaults icons, your need to have this in mind.

Good you cought the bug but this could be tested with VI Analyzer as well!

Ton

Sorry to come in late,

we just got our hands on 'On Time' by axosoft, still figuring it out. We got the program from another project which was killed by the client, so it was targeted for a Visual Studio team, but hey we got it now:

• Multi-user
  

Yes

• Multi-project
  

Definitely

• Web based
  

It has a web interface, which is just like the windows interface

• Open source
  

No

• Good performance across distant networks
  

Should work, it has his own web server were you can log in on

• Inuative interface
  

Not really, however I only looked at it, but I think it covers everything

• Comprehensive reporting functions
  

Definitely, it looks very powerfull

The manager who bought this is used to work on SIL4 level programming so the documentation of stuff is very well coverd with this program. The single user version is free! We are starting using this program in the next month or so. It has integration with MS Visual Studio and SourceSafe, I am not aware about subversion.

However it is rather pricy.

Ton

If I get a reference to all VIs in memory, that is fine as well.

Jimi the following code (8.2) should do that:

and the laptop?

My dell is just one year old...

Ton

Congratulations!

If I'm lucky enough to attend NIWeek 07, I'll be closely watching what type of computer you use for any demos you give ...

I'm thinking of a new PC to get the kids to stop fighting between the P-II 300 MHz and P-4 2 GHz computers in our office. Maybe my next purchase will let them fight over Mac VS PC instead

One reason not to buy a Mac, my boss doesn't have a mac LV license. Now if that came in the box (I don't need the baret), i'd consider

Ton

It does make me really curious as to what the person that discovered that was creating....

Maybe someone was shortening a part of a wire until the length became -1, and U16 turned that into (2^16)-1. Scripting gone bad :ninja:

Ton

Someone should file the bug... I'm focused on other things today.

PJM since you found it, could you do that?

Ton

And I thought my new 3600x1200 setup was pretty slick.

I feel so inadaquate with just 2560x1024 at work and (gasp) 1024x768 at home. Anybody spare some change to upgrade me?

Your what?

Ton

(looking at 1280x1024)

You made a programming error, you should read the start time of the second loop at the start of the second loop not at the start of the VI.You could use a sequence, with in each sequence frame one of the two methods with their own timing.

Ton

What about the 'exit LabVIEW' function?

But I don't think you can shutdown the RT computer.

One option might be close all references, and just finish your BD. Externally use a time-relais that after missing of digital output of the RT-system will give you 5 minutes of power and then cuts the power.

Ton

In the default LabVIEW ICON Editor, it is not possible to make a complete transparent Vi.

If I remember we did that recently...

The only way to find them is using executed highlighting....

Ton

I didn't say it was easy, and please note it was the last advice in a list of 3...

Ton

:laugh:

First of all, our company desktop computers are still win2k, probably going onto XP in may.

We the lucky ones with laptops have XP, but the chance that I'm getting a new one within 2 years 20%?

On a side note NI has a website about Vista.

Ton

PJM, here's my (working) version of OGPB.llb

Download File:post-2399-1169792253.zipin 8.2 off course

Ton

Why not to make the copyright to fade away in a few seconds after application start similar to last zero of 8.20 fading away... Perhaps someone writer an Xcontrol that does this :-D

I like the idea. And besides that, the fact that NI refers to the front panel, so each dialog should have an NI tag... strange...

Ton

Thanks Darren, I already ran it and posted it at the OpenG bug forum. (this starts to be a major cross-post issue :laugh: )

Ton

PJM,

do you know if it is possible to do a search and replace with a merge VI? would be fun if we could replace the read (and write) variant.config vi's replace with a merged one including the to variant primitive

Ton

Last year at my intermediate course this was mentioned as well.

VIPM uses the following:

LabVIEW

Well that looks not too bad, insert a wait until next inside the loop.

Now you need to figure out how to communicate with the database. I2dx has developed hi ado toolkit for this, or NI has a DB toolkit. Or if this is all you need you could try to write your own with the TCP primitives.

Ton

Good one you caught,

I was trying to start with OpenG Package builder, and somehow couldn't add VI's to my package....

Then I noticed saving and opening of a .ogbd file wasn't consistent the 'Package Files' tab was always empty. I found out that the [Files] section had no entries, debugging let me to this bug...

somehow the read-key doesn't suffer from this problem (maybe because there is only one item under [Files].

I also noticed that the Package builder uses a quit old version of the variant config VI's (2.4 instead of 2.7)

PJM, have you tested if this happens on all datatypes?

If packagebuilder needs to be updated that's quite some work.

Probably builder also needs updates..... Or builder should be elimated in 8+

EDIT:

In Package builder I have preceded every Write Key (Variant) and Read Key (Variant with the to variant primitive, now the package builder works. I tried to look up every to variant coercion dot with VI Analyzer but the number was a little bit to overwhelming...
