QUOTE(alfa @ Sep 11 2007, 06:35 AM) Somehow I get the feeling this is one of those meaningless riddles or an ethnic joke. But I'm game to play along. I will assume that fresh drinking water and exposure to the elements are a non-issue. If I asked the same question (who gets the food?) of the 11 people in the boat, how does each reply? Ben

QUOTE(Justin Goeres @ Sep 12 2007, 09:17 AM) I reacted the same way when I saw someone wire an enum to a format into string. I thought it was great but everyone else said "You didn't know that?" I think this is not our short-coming but rather due to the sparse upgrade notes. I religeously read every one of these cover to cover and still I miss stuff. WE really need EXHAUSTIVE upgrade notes!

QUOTE(Aaron @ Sep 11 2007, 04:29 PM) Add ing dsaunders reply... You have mentioned the invoke nodes but only alluded to the property nodes. The propertyies you are after are only exposed for cirtain control types. To get at those properties you need to make sure the control reference you are using is of the approriate type. The "To more Specific" node will help with that. See http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=267659' target="_blank">this Nugget where I offered some ideas on how to handle control refences. Ben

QUOTE(Aaron @ Sep 11 2007, 03:54 PM) The ring is easy, just use the "Strings" property to write a new array of strings. The enum is another story. the strings associated with an enum are imbedded in the data type so they can not be changed at run time. I am recovering from my first reply? Ben

QUOTE(Aaron @ Sep 11 2007, 03:25 PM) Hi Aaron, Could you elaborate on what you have tried and exactly what you want. It just sounds like you have answered your own question. Ben Edit: After reading raglefrocks follow-up posting, Ben slaps his frohead and utters "Doh".

As an actual resident of South Park I have to suggest yet another possibility. Could she have confused you with someone else? Ben

QUOTE(TobyD @ Sep 10 2007, 11:35 AM) I guess I'll try back tomorow. Ben

QUOTE(crelf @ Sep 10 2007, 10:14 AM) Are you serious? I'd rather write code in C that try to make sense of that! Ben

QUOTE(Gary Rubin @ Sep 10 2007, 07:44 AM) Same here. This is the only way that I know of finding out what has been posted to LAVA lately. Ben

QUOTE(NormKirchner @ Sep 7 2007, 05:46 PM) Now your talking! Lets see what I can figure out this week-end. Ben

QUOTE(tcplomp @ Sep 7 2007, 02:41 PM) Damn it! Y'all are always giving me reasons to learn more. Thank you! Ben

QUOTE(LV Punk @ Sep 7 2007, 01:24 PM) My customers' customers have auditors to keep happy. I have been putting off the Xcontrol learning curve until I needed it. It just may be time. Ben

I have run into this situation more than once and its time to gather up ideas! When attempting to transfer large data -set to a table, we are seeing delay times of from 3 to 6 seconds depending on what machine we run our benchmarks. The data set can be 250K lines and can be as large as 30Meg on disk! We have issolated the performance issue to ONLY the time required to update the table. Using the technique to defer FP updates, hide table, update table, show table, undefer updates has improved performance. So.... I am toying with writing my own Xcontrol but before I do, I'm looking for other ideas and suggestions. So what do YOU think?

I agree with the previous posts that we need an example to be helpful. Lacking that, i'll speculate. I have seen LV hang if a reference is closed and in a parallel thread the now closed ref is used. So check your ref closing order and/or check the validity of the ref before using it. Like I said, just speculation. Ben

QUOTE(AnalogKid2DigitalMan @ Sep 6 2007, 01:16 PM) Which one? I have an evil avatar that Yen created for me on the NI forum. I use the non-evil verision here on LAVA. Looks like I should use the NI-avatar since it has a an evil eye. It sounds like something my wife would love. Ben

QUOTE(alfa @ Sep 6 2007, 07:05 AM) That's good news. :thumbup: Alfa, You never did give us a good update on your experience during the "conference on differential geometry in Paris". could you please share what you learned? Thank you, Ben

Timing of this Q dicates I should mention that I wrote a Nugget on this last week. http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?boar..._date_ascending The included example may be of some use. Ben

QUOTE(Mindstormer @ Aug 31 2007, 11:32 AM) I don't feel that I am serving you well.

Sorry about the lame replies. The Q will take time to answer and doing this while working is just not possible. Ben

QUOTE(Mindstormer @ Aug 31 2007, 10:58 AM) Before we get into that mess, could you try the template appraoch first? The behaviour of reentrant VI's has changed with LV 8.X and I am not able to recite the rules off-hand. Ben

QUOTE(Gary Rubin @ Aug 31 2007, 10:16 AM) I know little more than what I have picked-up as a result of being dyslexic (Certified under the Americans with Disabilites Act "ADA"). The word "dyslexia" roughly translates as "does not understand letters" so it has a lot to do with text based languages. I was told when diagnosed that dyslexics often go undiagnosed and develop other coping skills to compensate. It takes many forms. In my case, the order of and orientaion of letters are jumbled. Yes I am one of those people who does not easily recognize the difference between the words "dog" and "god". The letters "A" and "V" are also troublesome. This is one of the reasons I love LabVIEW. Letters are not required! Text based languages were often frustrating to me because I simply could not "see" the syntax errors. I have often thought that NI should market LV as the answer to dyslexics. Ben

QUOTE(David Boyd @ Aug 31 2007, 09:10 AM) It would take some time to chase down the link on the NI forums, but yes it is sadly true. The core LV version play well together. I thnks is was Urs or Albert that said they has LV 1-8 running on a Mac. I can speak from personal experience that when the new drivers are installed, it goes through "obsolete" versions and removes support. Tollkits are even worse! You can only istall for one version. If it alredy installed for an eralier version, you have to remove it before you can install it for the new. When you install it for the new, it does not add support for the old. There are ways to hack around that short-coming if you really want the toolkits installed for more than one version. Ben

QUOTE(LV Punk @ Aug 31 2007, 09:20 AM) I suspected lefties tended toward the technical side. The poll so far does not contradict that theory. The other theory was (but addressed by teh poll buy mentioned by others) that there is a higher proportion of engineers and scientists that are dyslexic than in the general population. Ben
