I think we are pretty good at staying on topic here. We have the Lounge for anything noisy. And if we start assigning SNR's to topics eventually someone might start assigning SNR's to members. That could lead to some of us starting to feel bad about ourselves.

The first true nanobot component is going to be an intelligent, self-replicating Lego.

If you can't "get a life" you can always buy one.

Looks like a job for an NI Vision application. Why do we need human eyes looking at each and every naked body?

QUOTE (limhj @ Jun 18 2008, 05:14 AM) Lucky you!! I learned LV working in a medical instrumentation R&D lab years ago. I miss medical R&D. (sigh) But LV is just enough fun to keep me sane working in the insane world of manufacturing test engineering.

<rant of my own> Thanks again, Jime for speaking up for a lot of us. The palette structures and disease-of-use to customize them are one of the few (if any) issues I would consider user-hostile in the entire LV enviroment. And to add to our frustration, every time NI comes up with a new version it creates a brand new default palette always loaded with nothing but express vi's (???) and other useless garbage. Then you have to go through the headache to cusomize them all over again. </rant of my own>

Just an update: I actually had a real person at uSoft contact me about my problem. We went back and forth via email for over a week. She offered a bunch of suggestions but none of them worked. I backtracked my steps and did some Googling of my symptoms and came up with a few ideas of my own. I ran checkdisk /r. An error was found and corrected. I disabled my anti-virus software and re-ran SP-1 and it went perfectly. That was over a month ago, and my system has been humming along fine since. "Never mind"

Japanese grind-house. That's hilarious. :laugh:

Anyone and everyone can already contribute and comment on what they wish in our Lounge.

Now this is "elegant". I'm in love.

QUOTE (telamon @ Jun 9 2008, 12:27 PM) WOW! A million?! That would be intimidating. Exaggeration aside, just how much do you know about LabVIEW? What will get you started is under File>New>VI>From Template>DAQ>Data Acquistion with NI-DAQmx.vi Also, make sure you know how to find and test your hardware channels in the Measurement and Automation (MAX) explorer. What you are trying to do does not sound that complex, but it might look like it to someone who is very unfamiliar with the LV environment. And if you are indeed working with a very large number of inputs and outputs my personal Engineering Rule #1 states: "NOTHING is more useful than accurate documentation."

That's really sick. Hysterically funny, sure ... but sick. I love it. The group version reminded me of an episode of the Simpsons where they were all in the family "shock therapy" session. :laugh:

QUOTE (Aristos Queue @ Jun 4 2008, 04:40 PM) Not so fast ... is she hot?

It only happened to me recently. I usually only get an email. But if this is a trend it could get annoying very quickly. You could always try one of these.

QUOTE (Chelectro @ Jun 4 2008, 03:04 PM) I don't recognize this VI. If it's part of your VI libraries installations (including add-ons) you should be able to find it using a search of your functions palette. It might be part of an add-on that I don't have but I couldn't find it in my 8.5 Professional Development System. If this was created and saved by someone else it could be anywhere.

"... titanium, magnesium, 'unobtainium' ..." That's some pretty exotic stuff. And proof-postive that some of the most innovative and earth-changing technologies come from American DOD-funded programs ... and not all of it is to kill or maim or break things. I'm just thankful we are finally spending some money on taking better care of our soldiers. HOOOAH!

QUOTE (hooovahh @ Jun 3 2008, 12:05 PM) You da man, Brian. It actually works, even in LV. Go to the head of the class. And thanks. :thumbup: Update: ... however ... I just tried to access one pc to another here in the office … and the right-click is partially disabled, at least in GoToMeeting. It's the strangest thing, too. The right click actually works on the remote PC, showing the right-click selections, but my host does not see the right-clicked selections. WT …??? I guess GoToMeeting was not made to do this sort of thing ... time for Plan B. But at least I know how to right-click without a mouse.
