Which prompts me to ask the question "Is syntax really just a plot by opthomologist to get more buisness?" Ben

Can't say I've seen the "error 8" put two issues should be checked. 1) Make sure you have all of the ini settings you used in development into the "app.ini". There have been additional security checks added 2) Make sure the account has privs and watch for the fire wall message to allow... Just sharing my first thoughts, Ben

Same here. That was the link I was asking about and hope I would find. Ben

Q Didn't the Event Structure require a specail version of the license to create new events? Ben

Thank you thank you thank you! That looks like it may fix things going forward. I owe you. Ben

I had no idea what was posted yesterday since I can't convince the LAVA site to show me unread threads. Its is like I have to stand here and watch it to see message come up. I feel like I am viewing the landscape out of a train window. I can't look back or forward but can only catch a glimpse of what is passing at the moment and that is on my work machine. On my home machine it is like the drapes are closed. Ben

Excellent "cat skinning" there Shaun! You absolutely shreaded the "box" I was thinking in. Ben

Can some point me at a link that explains how I can use the LAVA2s "View Unread Content". It gives my nothing when I look at home. It showed me more yesterday than it does today and that simply doesn't make sense because there were posts since then. So has anyone figued out how to use the "View Unread..."? Bafled, Ben

As far as I can tell Shared Variables have datasockets hiding behind them somewhere. Most of my DSC apps used Tag names to define which varible to read from/write too and when they got updated (LV's mutation code) the old tag reads got relaced with "Leagacy Tag Reads" and inside of them are datasocket read/writes. The only thing I ever got from a shared variable I could not get out of a datasocket is shared variables can be used as the source of dynamic events. Never did figure out how to get a datasocket to trigger an event. Ben

That could make for some interesting discusion! (But are we capable of playing nice together?) I would like to here the folically challenged amoung us (like me) to comment on 2 Kings 2:23. Lots of interesting stories in both book of Kings and one of my favorite lines from the KJV translation was "and the next morning when they woke up they were all dead." And we should really hash-out the whole goats and the sheep thing. If we where all sheep then why do some of us drive cars with bumper stickers that read; "LAVA No Expreess VIs required." That is a goatish attitude if I ever read one. Ben

First start by clearly identifying the source of the noise and its type. >>> "The first step in solving a problem is clearly defining what the problem is." Ott wrote a whole book on this subject so please check it out. Otherwise relying on us will be at best hit and miss. Trying to help, Ben

"Noise Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems" by Ott is a wonderful book ofr trying to work with noise in your signals. He analyzes most of the "noise" conditions you can run into starting with Maxwells equations and applying boundry conditions and then derives "Rules of Thumb" for each. In summary he suggested in order Eleminate the noise at its source (is a DC motor with funky brushes?) Reduce the magnitude of the noise source (a well chosen pasive device may supress the noise) Contain the noise inside a shieded container Prevent coupleing (move away from noise source) Exclude noise from logic (shielded box) etc with the last choices being filtering. So concentrate on fixing the tredmill first. Ben

Last week, Yair had to correct me because I somehow managed to combine two different proverbs into one and added a summary that I can't for the life of me figure out where I got that from! Rather than make that mistake again (so soon) I'll just site the verse so I can't screw it up. So in good humour neBulus replies; "Proverbs 26:4" Just being silly. Ben

Thank you Kurt! In my younger days I would have been on this like flies on .... ! Life's demands will keep me from implementing my dreams for a while but I hope to follow-up with this later. Again, thank you for sharing! Ben

How can I possilbly knock that type of attitude? Sea Story: When VMS 4.0 was released the developer responsible to write the code taht decoded the error packets from hardware was behind schedule so quoting them "Oh, I was behind schedule so I commented that part out.". This left me with mainframes tha were crashing and the only clue was a pile of 1's and 0's. I brought the issue to my support people with the idea that I could write code to decode the packets and format a report etc. The Support Engineer's eye crossed as I started to outline the idea and he said to me "That project is over YOUR head." That satement pissde me off sooo much that I taught myself to program (VAX-11 Macro). That support engineer never said another word to me the rest of the time I was at DEC. I soon followed that up by partnering with Robert J. Schmalstieg (now with HP network support) to write the first ethernet Sniffer starting in 1987 through 1988 (would have taken less than a week in LV). Our attitude at the time and still remains the same as what you have writtien above. even if we failed, we learned something along the way. Ben

Oh boy! Less than 300 posts till I can make it offcial that I don't know what I'm talking about. There is a goal to work towards. It was fun last time. It should be again. Ben

I have worked with two general type of RT apps. Those that wanted reliablity, the others wanted determinism. In my book determinism and relational databases are like "oil and watter", they don't mix. One take the attitude I'm going to do this now , to hell with saving" and the the other is "I'm going to log this stuff no matter how long and how much CPU it takes". The reliablity apps were the ones that wanted relational DB and a low cost solution. So these were generally developed on FP or cFP. Putting a RDB on a FP controllers is asking a lot of the current technology (but some day....). I nthose cases I had a server that grabbed any new history data and released the files or buffers holding the history. So the RDB was on a Windoze machine. I have worked with more than one of these types. I have used DSC, SQL and a custom DB to do these apps. So I trying to say your idea is ahead of the technology but if you prep now you could be ready when cheap targets have enough horse power to pull that plow. Ben

Thanks you! Yes I lost 400-500 but what can the admin do? I'll just work me way back up again. Its not worth them trying to recreate them. I'll just post the same thing when the topic comes around again. Re: SNR I will do my best to stay informative and boring. Ben

Thanks you. I was working on that on LAVA I. I seem to have lost about 400 posts so give some time to get back to where I was. Once I figure out how to navigate the new forum, I'll do what I can witout distrurbing the SNR. Ben

Could someone please point me a help file or tell me why I can't see any replies to anything I have posted. What would be ideal is the "View unread" as is worked in version 1 of LAVA. The view unread link at the top right is only showing me threads I have nevenr looked at. Once I have looked and replied the new posts to those threads aren't showing up in a list. Is there a setting or something that i need to just be able to keep on the new stuff? Ben I would not mind someone PM the hint to me since I don't know where to look to see if anyone replied. If these questions sound dumb, there is nothing wrong with your ears. Ben Forget my last. It was a setting somewhere under my profile or settings. So where do I look ot find the filed that lets me edit the text under my name? Is that option still available? Still wondering, Ben

Thank you. I don't theink the "View Unread" showed up unitl after I posted to this thread. I also did not see your replies show up when I was clicking the "View Unread...". I'm stil geting used to the new format so give me time I'll catch-up. I "had wandered off" because I had an opportunity to compete one-on-one with someone I respect on the Dark-Side. That deed is done so I can relax again. I had to get back here sooner or latter for the sake of "humility" at the very least. Ben Humility was never my strong point.

Yes I'm late and just catching up... I rember when the US was all geared up to do the switch and then they figured out how much it would cost to replace all of the road signs that gave number of miles too and speed limits. It was never funded so it never happened aside from the part where the government did not have to pay (labeling on packages). So to this day pacakges are marked in both standard and metric and serve as a ready reference when doing unit conversions durring dinner. Ben

Thanks for the link. Three notes; 1) H2S is not nice. I have scars to prove it. 2) I recently delivered an app to charaterize the methane concentrations in a coal mine (methane poors out of the rock face). My wife said "You could use that to figure out who did it, couldn't you? 3) If you smell rotten eggs or pop-corn, it time to take a break, preferably outside, in a strong wind. Ben

I am transitioning from Lurker to non-lurker status now that the dust has settled on the new format of LAVA. There used to be an option/link... that I would use that would just let me look ath the new posts in all forums. Could someone provide a link to whatever the equivelent is now? Thank you, Ben
