  1. I had that happen, too, a long time ago. I seem to remember I had luck replacing all the subVI's first before rewriting the code.
  2. And here is the new (working) link. Wow. LV is dropping like a stone.
  3. Any time you get into the habit of taking on someone else's work load the entire company takes on that habit. And bad habits are hard to break. You'll end up being resentful and having too much to do. I would take a bullet for most of my coworkers, but I refuse to cover for anyone who is lazy or takes advantage of the team.
  4. A good reason to get your updates manually.
  5. Most of us who have been around a while know who the big guns are, but I think the reputation scores are very useful for the newbies.
  6. As was said before, you can't use scripting in an executable. If you know the upper limit to the number of objects you will need on your front panel the simplest approach would be to create that number of objects on the front panel and make them visible/invisible with property nodes in your program, depending on the value of your 'a' variable.
  7. My (now 20+ something) daughter who had no interest whatsoever in anything electronic discovered my protoboard in my lab one day and wanted to play with it. She proceded to draw "pictures" with the protowire. Have you ever seen a stick man drawn on a protoboard with protowire?
  8. Deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize.
  9. Just out of curiousity, but why would you think about sending references to the clusters instead of the actual data itself? It just seems kind of complicated to send the references.
  10. I had seen this one before, but it's still good. I love the music in the background. And the idea that this cat's "staff" will have a softball-sized hunk of concrete in the litterbox the next morning. Indeed. Me, too. When in doubt, soak your head.
  11. There are few folks on this planet I envy and respect more than married couples who adopt a child or two. Having one or two of your own is icing. "Live long and prosper" to all of you and your beautiful families.
  12. Your request is a little confusing. Do you want to create a new document (workbook) or a different sheet in a workbook? You can do all of that with ActiveX. And that is a lot easier if you have the Report Generation Toolkit. I've done it in raw ActiveX, but it's work. It's easier just saving different documents as text files. For each new "page" just create a new file name.
  13. Sweet. I'm always looking for something small but versatile. Kind of like a "Swiss Army DAQ".
  14. The biggest reason I liked this was that one of my cats (Jazz, aka "The Variant") did the exact same thing when she was right around the same age. At the time I was living in an upstairs apartment in a big, beautiful old Victorian house with one of those big, enameled cast iron bathtubs but no shower. So my cats would sit and watch me take a bath. (ewww, I know) One time after a bath the tub was still draining and had a couple of inches of water left in it. Jazz came over to investigate. She starts eying it and her butt starts wiggling like she's getting ready to jump in. I tried to warn her: "No Jazz. Jazz. You don't want to go there. Jazz, no." She looks at me, looks in the tub and jumped in, anyway. In one motion she jumped right out. BOING! and ran like the blazes ... Her sister, Molly (who has always been the smarter of the two) just lied there and looked up at me as if to say: "What a dumbass".
  15. But you laugh WITH cats, not AT them.

    Choosing a DAQ

    Measurement Computing makes some good DAQ equipment, too. It's a little cheaper than NI's and it comes with LV drivers.

    Touctable

    My cats would love pouncing on this thing.
  18. Right after I decided the military was what I wanted to do the Navy was my first choice. I did extremely well in my placement tests and the Navy went out of their way trying to get me into nuclear electronics. I sat down with the recruiter and he started asking a bunch of questions. Then the inevitable: "Are you claustrophobic?". "YES". "Talk to the Air Force recruiter across the hall."

    Pun

    I know what cluster bomb is, but what is a bomb cluster?
  20. Jeepers. You sound like you are living a nightmare. I don't know who is in charge over there but he/she needs to get involved NOW bringing these projects and programmers under control. Naming conventions are the least of your concerns.
