I like the Lava programming language...

I'd prefer: "find and chase the cat" (...that is meowing under my window) :laugh:

According to this topic, 4th reply (crelf) it must be dead. :thumbdown:

...Obvious, if you don't care of diagram size...

Hey, I'm sure there are enough LAVA-member who don't attend NI-Week. This forum never gets bored.

Hi, There are several methods. The one I chose is by embedding your sub-vi into a subpanel of the top-vi. Didier Download File:post-253-1155111030.vi

It depends if you're going to use LV in the near future, e.g. find a job that involves LV. The LV-certificates have an expiry date. After 3 years you loose your certificate. To keep it you'll have to redo the exams.

Could you at least post a pix of the error box?

fortunately there is no tree in the next neighbour, because the neighbour has his cow-stable with runout (correct for "Auslauf"??). There are just a few bushes, but they not big enough to hold a cat. ... otherwise I thought to adapt a paintball gun or so on my mindstorm... :laugh: ...I know it won't be "kid-compatible" anymore, but funny to see "pink-pointed" cats... :laugh:

Haven't been aware to use the array and dynamic event in such a combination, really nice :thumbup:

"Apple" :question: Is there a Mac inside?

Most probably you'll first have some lawyer at your door, followed a few month later by a salesman with an offer to buy your company...

The one south of Ghana in the Atlanic ocean is also ...(is he/she still swimming?)

I suggest to also remove the waveforms. They eat up quite resources.

This question has been asked quite a few times in the past... but NI hasn't told till now how many licenses they have sold/ sell per year.

that's not true, there are (to my knowledge) at least 2 products that use graphical programming: - Simulink from Mathworks - Softwire from Control Engineering, see this ...and yes, NI fought heavily on courts to let the two other die: - where the status in the lawsuit against Mathworks is, I don't know, but Mathworks still sells Simulink and it has a strong community (especially in education and medicine. - after lawsuits from NI and back from Control Engineering (Softwire), finally NI bought Control Engineering. But I never heard that Softwire is going to be shut down. Softwire is made for Visual C++.

Thank you everyone... :worship: I haven't understand your implementation at it's full: If child 1 (or 2) is not happy, you increase mom (or dad) by one... does this mean that mom(or dad) gets exchanged , or does this number mean the wanted childs, or :question: ? In german we say: "This, you can tell it quite loud"... The longer it goes, the more maintenance it needs (also almost like an old car). I'm a bit afraid of the bugs that will come up in this "child process" during the years. Having 3 childs gets a bit more complicated when you want go out for dinner (with your family). Usually tables are made for 4 persons but seldom for 5 :thumbdown: .

After almost 9 Month of planning and a painful installation, the child process 2 began to work at 21:13 on my main Family system :laugh: . Yep, I'm again a happy "Dady". Junior, with name Jonas, and Mamma go both well, although a bit tired. :beer: cheers :beer: Didier ps. Michael, I haven't forgotten the picture from Vanessa (my first child) with the LAVA T-shirt. Unfortunately the camera, where the picture was in, got stolen :thumbdown: . I have an update on my "old" camera (the one which you fill with these chemical strips), but the film is still in there... should be filled in the next days.

Don't forget to rewrite the data read functions with double precision, or, indeed, you end with garbage: The file read function does not care what datatype is in the file, YOU feed the datatype to the function. So, if you write a double-precision array to file, LV alignes the elements as 8bytes, if you read single-precision from this file, LV assumes that the file has 4bytes aligned as elements, resulting in a big mess. There is NO typedef check and/or conversion in the file read function.

Would it help to write back the modified table into the original table? If so you can achieve it by right-clicking on your table-control and select Create/Local Variable.

I just tried to convert your number. When I display the converted value with a SGL-Indicator I get "574.899047851562499000", but when done with a DBL-Indicator I get "574.8990192492200320...". This means that SGL has not enough bits to represent the value with this precision. You should - either change to DBL precision - or think about if you really need that many digits (usually 6 digits are enough; exception is physics, where sometimes values can't be precise enough ).

Never say never!!

:thumbup: I use this technique also on case structures and include the main tasks that are performed in the case. eg.: "initialisation failed: - report error - ..." "VISA read ok: - decode string - check events on GPIB - write log entry" ...but I haven't done any recolouring, just a transparent frame.

Under your avatar I see that you use LV6.0 If you programmed your app in 6.0 and have on the other machine the RTE (run time enginge) 6.1 then it won't work. You need the same version of RTE and develpment envrionment.

Uhh... Sequences only serialize the execution of the primitives/sub-vi's. BUT since the VISA-primitives have error-in/-out, use them to serialize operation. As a bonus, subsequent operations will be skipped, if an error occurs somewhere. Heavy use of the sequence structure is considered as bad wiring, better use Error-cluster, or (if appropriate) just let independent tasks run in parallel.
