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

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 http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?boar...=222937#M222937 Ben

You may want to take a look at this thread http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?boar...id=83435#M93182 on the NI forum where we finish this up with text markers for N-S-E-W Ben

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

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

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. 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

I can NOT denigh that. 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

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

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

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

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!

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

Invoke node point to row collumn method is very handy! Ben

This thread is both about and is a black hole. What twists my head all up is the space-time cone (displacement vs time plot for everything lies with cone defined by speed of light) thing... combined with the idea that light was* created out of nothingness. *How do I think about what existed before time existed and where WAS it before there was space for it to exist in! Ben

Welcome Mike! Q for you. Are you one of the AE/PSE's that I have insulted? Ben

A similar thought crossed my mind. Welcome rconde! Now regarding JKI and VIE; If Y'all are tring to throw a scare into the rest of us.... its working. Ben

Good point Stephen, Durring the redesign of my company's web-site, I requested that I be given this functionality. Now if I actually get it, that's another story. Ben

... and in the event we come up with something we can market, you know who history will point at as the inspiration.... YES, alfa.

Pop-up on your control and choose Customize. Use the drop down to change change the control from a control to a typdef. Save it. replace all of the old occurnces with the typdef. HINT: After you create and save the edit it and add a new field. Save it. This will break yur code every where the typdef is wired to a non-typdef'd control. Fix all the broken wires by replace the non-typedef with the typedef. When you are done you will have found all of the places that need to be fixed (well maybe not all). Ben

As I understand it Godel (sp?) proved that an system can NOT be proved from within a system. 1) How can we as elements of single dimension prove what lies outside our dimension? :question: What we need here is a quantity we can measure. If we can measure it we can prove it. Remeber it was an experiment to prove the quatum mechanical phenomenon can be measured on a macroscopic sclae that lead to the transistor. 2) What 5th dimenstional atribute can we measure? 3) Can we turn a profit from it?
