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.

I have no plans of watching this movie. If it ever happens to come my way, fine, but that's about it. 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?

I think the simplest approach for your application would be using OpenG configuration files and a single cluster. I think you want to stick with a single cluster to keep data encapsulated and keep it simple. And the OpenG vi's have already been worked out for you. I use it all the time. It's just too convenient.

QUOTE (jimlandowski @ Apr 15 2009, 04:30 PM) LabVIEW's greatest strength is also it's greatest weakness. NI invests heavily to the "non-user" market. A "non-user" can whip up a functional VI in just a few minutes and NI can claim another "sale". But what is that "non-user" going to do with that data? "Pure energy" ?!?!? :laugh: I've been programming in LV for over 10 years and I can assure you: LabVIEW is no more "pure energy" than any other language. If I had spent the last 10 years programming in Python I might be able to say the same thing about Python. The only reason I stuck with LV is that graphical programming appeals more to the way my brain works. "Do you want me to draw you a picture?" "Yes."

QUOTE (manojba @ Apr 13 2009, 01:34 AM) In your splash screen sub VI create an event structure inside a while loop. Create an event Pane-Mouse down. This selector will have a boolean to stop the loop. Select VI properties>customize>and select show front panel when called and close afterwords if originally closed. When you call this vi it should behave the way you want it to. For images just copy and paste any any image into the clipboard and paste it onto your front panel.

QUOTE (ShaunR @ Apr 11 2009, 07:45 AM) I had an application that had similar parameters and that's where I used a main "test manager" VI with a number of tests written as VI templates. I won't take all the credit for it since I inherited the original idea. But it worked very well. Need a new DUT test? Just write a new template. What little I know of TE I still know enough that it could have been a real headache trying to write this in a strict TE-type test sequencer environment. A test had to start at any time, it could be a different type of test on a half dozen different DUT's, etc. etc.

I've run some fairly large, mulitple DUT testing programs without TestStand. VI templates under an executive VI worked OK for me, but maybe my idea of "large" is different than yours. And I don't think I've ever seen TestStand in action to really appreciate it. I don't like the cost. It's way to expensive. It's hard enough to convince the boss to keep up to date with the latest version of LV.

I use a 6221 and I'll go along with everyone else here: it probably does not have enough current to drive the motor directly. But don't worry. This is a learning experience for you. 5V is 5V, but not necessarily when it comes to current output. When working with logic outputs remember one thing: TTL outputs, i.e. outputs you want to control "things" (motors, displays, rocket motors) will almost never be driven directly. Check with the motor manufacturer for their recommendations for driver chips. That would be the simplest way to go. But if you want to get hands-on, fun and dirty use MOSFETS to drive your motors. It's worked for me. Have fun.

"... 91.7 FM KOOP, Austin's community radio station, is comprised of more than one hundred volunteers from the community. The station's diversity is already quite breathtaking - there are music shows ranging from reggae to electronica, from soul to garage rock, from jazz to bluegrass ... " Sounds like "open source" radio. Now THAT sounds very cool. :thumbup: One of my clients is based in Austin. I simply MUST suck up to them (and my boss) to get a chance to go down there and meet them. (LabVIEW? What's a "LabVIEW"?)

I use the QMH quite often, but only for a small application that requires a state machine or sequence where I need something quick and dirty. For anything medium to large I prefer a typedef enum feeding the queue. One of the big benefits of the enum is that when I can finish a case, and my next case is similar all I have to do is "duplicate case" and I'll have most of my code for the new case. And I don't have to worry about the spelling.

Indeed. I have 8.6 and it's not there. The "classic" version is still available but not the modern. (???)

QUOTE (Cat @ Apr 3 2009, 08:13 AM) If I need the functionality of a stacked sequence I'll use a queued message handler. A single frame of a sequence structure is quite handy sometimes to ensure data flow, but I can't imagine why anyone would want to use a stacked.
