Anyone know if Real-Time or FPGA can be downloaded yet?

Activated fine here but I did have to reboot for some reason.

I can only hope that LVOOP will extend to Real-Time targets in 2009.

Wow! On slide 55 is a picture of Custy's. I live very close to Custy's but I haven't eaten there yet.

You didn't have to register for sessions before. Did they change something this year?

Last year I used Google Calendar to schedule all my events. I had SMS alerts before each session with room numbers in the SMS. This helped me keep on track and spend less time worrying which session to go to next.

One advantage PXI has over PC is support for new products. NI always seems to release new products for PXI and may or may not release PCI versions of those products. A perfect example is the R-Series Virtex-5 FPGA cards. There are still no PCI versions of these cards yet

Great idea, didn't know you could do that. I guess you could call that pseudo-scripting. With VI scripting being available since 7.1 it never dawned on me to try a text ring. QUOTE (PaulG. @ Jun 1 2009, 12:16 PM)

There are quite a few good use cases for scripting. I once had to create a enum constant with over 500 elements. Using the Edit Items... dialog box would have taken forever. The 500 enum values were already in a text file. Using VI scripting I opened the text file and created the enum. QUOTE (PeterB @ May 31 2009, 01:54 AM)

Now that scripting is legal, should it be moved out of Rusty Nails?

In the mail today I got the Instrumentation newsletter. Page 25 talks about VI Scripting in the article "How to Integrate your tools into the Labview Environment."

From the help: And Array Elements Returns TRUE if all the elements in Boolean array are TRUE or if Boolean array is empty. Otherwise, the function returns FALSE. This function accepts an array of any size but returns only a single value based on all values in Boolean array.

I tested this yesterday with a label on the block diagram in 8.5.1 and it worked fine. I did not try the FP yet.

I for one would purchase a license for scripting if it ever gets released as a product. Releasing it as an extra price adder for those that need/want scripting should keep the support cost for NI to a minimum compared to releasing for everyone.

I have the same problem here in 8.6. I've always blamed it on the order of dependencies changing in my project. Every time I do a text based compare of the old and new lvproj file this item is always in a different place: <Item Name="semaphor" Type="VI" URL="semaphor"/> I do not have autopopulating folders either. Why do dependencies get saved in the lvproj file? Is there any way to turn of saving of dependencies in the lvproj file?

If you need to do Profibus with Labview then check out: www.ni.com/profibus Or http://www.comsoft.de QUOTE (Megatron @ Oct 30 2008, 05:57 AM)

I have the same problem, the time required for a team might be too much for me. Were starting a new program here in CT called the "Regional Technical Expert" program. This way area Labview experts can provide help to all the Connecticut FRC teams. QUOTE (pallen @ Oct 28 2008, 02:22 PM)

QUOTE (Neville D @ Oct 21 2008, 02:59 PM) I would bet there is something wrong with DeviceClasses in the registry of your Dell desktop. Did could try deleting the USB flash disk in the device manager. Then, remove it and re-insert it so windows runs the found new hardware wizard. This might fix your registry and MAX might work.

There is a thread over at the NI forums, and a CAR, about this issue here.

NI does have support for licensing a LabVIEW Real-Time application to protect a deployed application from being copied and run on another similar or identical set of hardware. QUOTE (MichaDu @ Sep 22 2008, 09:35 AM)

I've never seen mention of them not working in Windows. I've had zero problems using them on the host (i.e. windows) side in my applications.

1.5 GB / 45 min = 0.0333 GB/min or 555 KB/sec. I have never seen a file transfer with RT FTP of 555 KB/sec wired or wireless with my cRIO. I only get 450 KB/sec over a wired network.
