Only a government "think" tank or senate subcommittee could come up with that much nonsense.

Done. Vote early. Vote often.

... it is a test of the compiler optimization rather than language.

Indeed. That is why assembly isn't much "faster" than C now days. I've heard it said: "C is the new assembly language." Compilers are getting that good.

As far as assembly being "one of the least verbose" I will have to disagree. Assembly needs 25 lines of code to turn an LED off and on.

Is it a typedef?

Ton

I don't think so - or I don't remember ever trying it that way. I usually wait until I get my enum before I convert it to a typedef.

I think that is the one thing that makes me the most nervous about scripting. To hell with the fear of losing my job. Today it's cute little "hello world" vi's that write themselves. Tomorrow it's Skynet.

... Using VI scripting I opened the text file and created the enum.

I do that all the time without scripting. Read the file, load the string values into a text ring, then replace the text ring with the enum. Or did I miss something?

Thanks Q and thanks NI for looking down upon your lowly minions and bestowing mercy and compassion and giving scripting to the masses. (insert light from heaven and "ahwhwhwhwhwh" sound here)

Just downloaded it this afternoon, installed it without a hitch (8.6) and have been playing around with it for about an hour. I haven't played around with scripting in over a year and in version 7.1. This looks really awesome. :thumbup:

Wow. This is amazing. NI is actually going to release scripting to the general public. The 'verse just got a little bigger.

This is an excellent suggestion Ton and something I have thought of myself.

Yes. A great idea indeed. I've been here for years and it still takes a few minutes and keystrokes to figure out how to start a thread.

Over the years I've spent a lot of quality time in SF for work and a couple of vacations. You could do a lot worse. Have fun.

... the lack of a handy horizontal scroll is large oversight considering the amount of scrolling needed...

All scrolling should be disabled in LV. That's the only way we can ensure diagrams stay a reasonable size.

The Evil CRELF ...

I thought he was the evil Clerf.

I have worked with a 6008 and I don't understand why you cannot drive a simple octocoupler with it. You are just driving an LED. The digital outputs should be sufficient to do that. But then again, my experience with (the really cheap) NI hardware is that they are pretty wimpy and you may need to use the digital output to drive a FET that will in turn drive the coupler.

For all the data I want to save I make a cluster. On the Init state I write the cluster labels to the file from that cluster via properties > label text. Those are my column headers. Then when I run my VI and save the data it's parsed into the proper column.

Crashes in 8.6 as well.

You are rewriting 0 (black) into your plot color. Instead of using the numeric control use a color box.

The Open/Close -> Ensure Visible method on a tree control will expand and scroll to make sure a specified tag is visible in the tree.

Them's fightin' words, mister.

"Perhaps today is good day to die!!!" :laugh:

This may be a noob question but I'm really stuck. I am using a tree control as a data indicator. I am running about 30 - 40 tests but want to keep the indicator small and only want the more recent tests, say 10 or so results to appear in the tree indicator. Right now it's only displaying the first 10 and the operator has to manually scroll down to see the results of the more recent tests. Maybe I didn't look hard enough in the properties but I can't seem to find a way to move the scroll position in my program as it progresses. Thanks in advance.

I no longer value your opinion.

Kidding, of course, but I saw Star Trek this weekend and loved it. I think it was very well done with the actors throwing in just enough of the original characters' quirkiness to make it believable.

I guess I've had it up to here with time travel. It's too lazy. And Abrams took way too many liberties with the ST mystique and legend. It felt like sacrilege. :thumbdown:

The only thing I liked about the movie were the inside jokes and references for us "old timers". "I'm not a physicist, damnit! I'm a doctor!" :laugh:

Yeah, but how long before the old and new generations of Trekkies go to war?

Shane.

Funny you should say that. I thought Star Trek SUCKED. It was so dreadful I wanted to take a phaser to JJ Abrams.

Try putting the strings in that pane into a cluster, then append that image control to report.

I ran it for over 5 minutes with no error.

This is the ONE thing that will interfere with my enjoyment of this film. Zach Quinto as Sylar on Heroes is without a doubt the most evil character created on TV. Worse than Brett Butler (But Sylar is at least funny in a dark sort of way). Him playing Spock will be a distraction.

When a loop runs ONCE why is the iteration count 0? How can something run once yet still run 0 times?
