... Incidentally, we're missing a "sarcasm" emoticon.

I thought this was sarcasm. "Excuuuuuuse Meeeeeee!!! "

[Thinking out loud...]

Indeed.

This is a bunny with a pancake on its head moments.

Yes. Homeschoolers are allowed to buy the LabVIEW Student edition. (Good idea, by the way. )

From the Acedemic Superstore website you can get the LVSE for $80 as long as you can provide one of the following:

Membership in Home School Association

Receipt for Home School Curriculum

Letter of intent to home school from a state agency

The only reason I knew how to get this info so quickly is that I was looking to get LVSE for myself. Hey, I consider myself a life-long student, but alas I don't meet any requirements to get LVSE.

All this talk about water. Where there is water around you gotta have electricity. Why not have a kid stand in a puddle of water, hand him some wires, and ...

sorry

... Was I imagining things? ...

I think so. Cursors work the same way. I've written apps where 10 cursors and 5 plots were visible on a graph and all the plots were called by one property node and all the cursors called by another.

STACKED SEQUENCE STRUCTURES!?

I use a ton of subVI's since my apps are usually broken down well in the documentation. I'll just cut and paste the section of documentation with the associated code. In main VI's I still like the tried-and-true method of putting a link to source documentation in the VI properties>Documentation>Help path.

I'm glad it's you and not me. I would probably end up hurting someone. My luck it would be the local Mafioso's son.

Comedians ... also work out great (and I'm not even mentioning Reagan, Schwarzenegger or Clint Eastwood).

Dear all,

I am building up an analog circuit for Electromyography (EMG) data collection, but I have to put isolation between the circuit and the human subject. A possible solution may be opto-isolator, does any opto-isolator support analog input and analog output?? I read wikipedia which says opto-isolator is using an LED inside the chip. If so, there may have some forward vlotage bias in the signal???

Something like this?

There are some examples in UK politics.

The (in)famous Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher read chemistry at Oxford, and was a research chemist for a plastics company. TheLabour party politician, Margaret Beckett was a metallurgist who worked as an researcher at Manchester University in the late 1960's. The now departed (in disgrace) MP Ian Gibson was a lecturer in Biology at the University of East Anglia in the UK. There are others I'm sure, but those are the three that came to mind first.

This is a fascinating thread. You guys are awesome. Love the fact that many of you live outside the US. Every day here is a learning experience, and not just LV.

I didn't know "The Iron Lady" (Thatcher) was a chemist. My brother is a chemical engineer - and he would do about as well as I would in politics.

As controversial as Maggie was/is, I for one have always loved her. She and Reagan. A political marriage from heaven. Maggie had more 'nads than 99.9% of the politicians we have now in this country (USA).

Politics is my favorite spectator sport. AND BOY haven't we had a lot of action going on this year?! The hits just keep on coming.

Anyway, my first thought is that engineers are not known for their people skills. I don't mean that in a negative sense at all. I for one would much rather work with other engineers on "stuff" than work with people working on people, sucking up to them for their money and/or their votes.

I think most engineers know deep down that they are too good for that type of work.

Now that LAVA's added a level at 500 my pun loses some of its meaning. Maybe it's time to find another.

I like your "pun". One of the more amusing and creative ones I've seen here on LAVA. Certainly beats "I'm a LAVA not a fighter".

I had the same need a while back and started using FogBugz a few months ago. I thought it was free for one or two users and any more than that you had to pay for it. The 2 user limitation is not an issue with me, either. I like FogBugz. It's uber-easy to set up and use. Also, customers seem to like the idea that even though I'm a lone gunman I still use project management, bug tracking and source control (SVN) software.

...I don't think I've played any online games (like in browser) in several years ...

I don't think I've ever played a game online. However, Civilization is going online next year. I might be up for that.

What an unfortunate domain name you have Cat

Speak for yourself. I'm glad my navy has "nads".

All games? Sheesh. You would think the NMCI would at least allow war games.

Link is borken.

That's nuts.

That's where your problem lies ... You spend 6 months listening to text programmers whining about how they used to do it.

What is really funny are the real "old timers" who have been programming in C for 30 years who attempt to learn LV. Their expressions are priceless:

The main difference between them is the speed. What devices are you intending to talk to?

We mostly deal with ISO 11898-2 type CAN's, 1 Mbits/sec, but I don't think we really need that level of speed. We don't do design validation. Just functional testing of printed circuit assemblies.

I went to NI first. Too many choices.

Our company has been getting an increasing number of orders for devices that use CAN bus. I have zero CAN bus experience so I'm shopping for a good (and preferably cheap) CAN interface/adapter that comes with handy-dandy LabVIEW drivers and/or examples to use for testing. Thanks in advance.
