Chin up mate - you're doing a great job!

Ditto that!

BTW I recieved my digest this AM.

"Get Contorl from TypeDescriptor" [sIC!] \project\_NewProbeWizard.llb\Get Contorl From Type Descriptor.vi

because it is the basic of scripting (in LV 8.x the name should be "Get contorl from variant")

Some of the project VI's for working on builds

The traverse VI of NI:

Utility\traverseref.llb\TRef Traverse for References.vi

So I'll keep one bean in stock :laugh:

Thanks Ton!

I was hoping to get one good suggestion but youave me two.

(Why did I limit it to only three beans?)

Ben

Will any of these help you out?

see attached image

Is that a semi-transparent needle?

Yes it is!

Cool.

Are you going to share?

Hi all,

I have not read the whole thread here

http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?showtopi...amp;#entry22451

but I'd like to ask a hypthetical (sp?) question.

If I gave your three "magic beans" that when eaten would give you a password to any of the password protected VI's that ships with LV...

Which three VI's would you use the "beans" on?

Ben

PS I am asking this question to learn more about what I have been missing.

This is a re-post of the Q I posted to the previous thread as per Aristos Queues suggestion.

"fancy transparent subpanels with a single terminal input/output" :thumbdown:

Thank you LV Punk for flipping that switch for me.

At first I thought I was dealing with a snake, and then I thought it was a tree, and then again I thought it may have been a wall. :headbang:

Ben

Ha, ya I am trying to get as many ideas as I can. The sync is at 40 khz. I believe I am sampling at 1M. And yes, the output does continue to skew relative to the sync.

Ok here's a link to an example (ahem) from the NI web-site that shows a Phase Locked Loop (PLL).

http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5153

I have hacked the example (ahem) to see if this is what you are after.

Ben

I am using a PCI slot DAQ and just then standard TI switch board interface card to talk to the DAQ for the inputs and outputs.

Hi Snowman,

It looks you are playing on both forums. Was your dilemma deciding which forum to post to?

Your diagram now gives us some ideas but now it is time for details.

What is teh freq of the sync signal?

How fast are you sampling the sync?

According to one of your posting you mentioned 40Khz. Is that the sample rate or sync pulse rate?

After the timing seq you showed, does you output continues to skew relative to the sync?

From what little I know about your app, I am thinking that this would be

simple using cRIO

Challenging in LV RT

Possible under Windows if this can be implemented in hardware.

Here is a link to the NI Exchange discusion

You can grab the max value line of the scale with your mouse and pull it towards the min value. You get a gauge that does 360deg this way.

You can also grab the min value to rotate the entire scale. This could be usefull if you want the 0/360 value at the top instead of at the bottom of the gauge.

You may want to take a look at this thread

hmm - I am not sure - but I think this is a really good way to get a corrupted project. LV 8.x opens one application instance for each target and keeps them synced. If you edit a VI with your "own external" LV instance you can have different copys of the same file in memory and I think that will mess up your whole project.

I would not try it with LV 8 because ti does use project and natively support apps on more than one target.

The above note about renaming is useful for Pre-LV 8 when you want to watch the RT and Windows at the same time. I have only used in once but it did beat using two laptops. THis was originally posted by DR RT (someone at NI) years ago when there used to be an RT forum.

Ben

I don't have time to investigate but I can share.

How about a mouse down event then use a MCListbox >>> Invoke node >>> Point to Row Collumn

It returns "In bounds"

and

I wonder what the CellPosition is when you click on the line seperating cells.

Ben

Never tried...

Do you have to install LabVIEW twice for that or how sould that work??

Going back to LV 6.1 you could copy LabVIEW.exe to LabVIEW2.exe and use one for the RT and one for the Windows side.

It's not supported and be careful with which is which.

Ben

What other conference?

Nice move Jimi!

Well it not checkmate yet.

Anyone else seen the "Upright Citizens Bridage". For those that have, then let me say that it is amazing what you can get away with provided you have a bed sheet and a time machine.

I could travle back to before I posted my previous and ...

Then again, maybe I should just resign from this game before it too late.

Ben

Through the use of my time machine I have now traveled back to before I posted this to make sure I never said this in public. Who says you can't mess with causality?

Can I share my thought without killing this thread by allowing the invocation of Godwin's Law? .... Let's see.

Last week I had a conference....

At first read I thought you may have attended the "other" conference that was going on at the same time. I never did hear what they decided. Did anyone else hear what their final decision was?

Ben

Recently someone from NI R&D was here, and he told us that most likely the next release had a solved issues list (or bugs) publically. Unfortunately not a known

I can NOT denigh that.

Ben:

I know you are very interested in CARs and bugs, do you store and monitor them?

Ton

The LabVIEW Champions can explicitly request updates on specific CAR's.

Beyond that let me close by saying that the Bug Lists are making a difference.

Stay tuned!

Ben

Hy I asked the guy fom NI told me, that I don't need this CAR# and I don't need to post it there ("NI-Bug Forum")!?!?!?

They probaly don't like that we are able to see all bugs on a forum in the internet

HI Martin,

I have posted a note about your bug and what you were told in post #9.

I will also pass along your word to my contat to straghten this out!

Ben

I reported the bug with the Timed Loop on Saturday to my friends from NI Switzerland, they were able to reproduce my problem...

Example:

http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?s=&s...ost&p=21792

They told me that with the 8.2.1 pach, this problem will "probably" be fixed...

I didn't received a CAR#...

How do you get a that CAR#? Or is that the same like the "Support Number" that I usually get from NI Switzerland when I cry for help?

Getting a "support Number" (service request number) is only part of the game. As of about 3 months ago ALL of the AE (application Engineers) are required to post the CAR (corrective action report) for all publicly posted bugs. Contact your AE again and request the CAR number.

Unfortunately the new rule has not sunk-in for many of the AE's. I get the feelling they are doing a noble act be sparing R&D from the distraction.

Again, posting to the bug list I listed earlier will get the bug into the mill and will result in your ability to track its progress.

Ben

Advice on speed.

Pre-write your files. When ever you are going to spewing to disk at a high rate, you get some better performance if you wite the entire file with dummy data before the the real data writting starts. Sure you have to know how big it will be.

This pre-writting gets the OS to allocate all of the disk space ahead of time and reduces the I/O to just the data going to disk.

Ben

It's still not a true conversion - see my post above.

Not knowing how to do it "right" I just took the three color components and viewed them as the three components of a 3-d vector. Then determined the magnitude of the vector and then normalized to the 0-255 range.

Ben

hmm, strange. LV 8.20 seems really stable to me. The only (reproducable) situation when LV crashes is, if I edit a typecasted enum, which is part of a e.g. typecasted cluster AND a VI containing one of the typedefs is open. LV crashes on the "save and replace" dialog.

I have informed NI about this behaviour, but it has not yet been confirmed as a bug - although the AE could reproduce it - it seems they are still working on it

HI All,

Regarding bugs in LV 8.2

NI has historically released maintainance releases that have proved very solid.

You all can help make the next release similarly solid if you make SURE your reported bugs have recieved a CAR#. If it did not get a CAR# R&D will NOT hear about it and it will NOT get fixed!

The easiest way to make sure your bug makes R&D's radar is to post to the NI Bug thread. The Bug thread for December 2006 can be found here.

http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?boar...2&jump=true

I am still nagging them to watch the LAVA bug list, but that battle has not been won (yet).

So...

If you want you bugs fixed, report them today!

So please please please help NI help us!

Ben

BTW: NI's responsiveness to bug reporting also qualifies as something that has improved!

I get to claim credit for this one,...

In the behalf of my boss (CLA #5) and myself, THANK YOU.

Ben

I read the upgrade notes but I still seem to find other stuff that I do not remeber reading about.

In LV 8.20 you can easily find the root VI that is breaking your application.

I dropped an Config Data Open and wired up a constant to the path.

I went down in the hiarchy and deleted a wire in "Config Data registry.vi" and look what the error list shows!

I like it!

Ben

As far as you obviously don

Invoke node point to row collumn method is very handy!
