EDIT :

for some reason the end of the video is missing (about 10 seconds)

I've seen it. It's the part where the official-looking guy appears and says: "If you have seen this person contact INTERPOL at ..."

Good luck with that. Subversion/TortoiseSVN has it's critics. Even over here.

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.

Sorry. MY kid is #11.

<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:

I didn't mean to hijack this thread into The Simpsons, I just wanted to come up with some Simpsons quotes that were relevant to Lava.

I think the Simpsons have been relevant to just about everything at one time or another.

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

"Actually, when Lava is underground it's called Magma." - Chloe Talbot

"You're so smart." - Lisa Simpson

"This lava is not a criminal, it hasn't hurt anybody :a man screams in pain: Anybody I know!" - Chief Wiggum

(singing) "I am so smart. I am so smart. S-M-R-T. I mean S-M-A-R-T" - Homer Simpson

"Pay me the money I'm still going to melt every city on the planet with liquid hot mag-ma."

... hooked up to a screwboard with a million inputs and outputs ...

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:

... I'm starting to think you might not like the new "in person Clippy" that we were going to ship with the next version of LabVIEW. ... It really seemed like a good idea, but you guys are making me reconsider it.

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.

where can I find a v->ev utility in the functions of the block diagram? please see picture.

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!

I know this one I know it! ...

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.

:thumbup: Yes, but it's been a while, though. I love where my head goes when I'm trying to work out one of their problems.

QUOTE (Yen @ May 29 2008, 04:31 PM)

... I assume it means "square sine wave".

There is no such thing as a "square sine wave". It's sinusoidal or it non-sinusoidal. It can't be both.

Thanks anyways, guys, :thumbup: but none of these solutions appear to work. Looks like it is LV-specific. I have yet to duplicate a right-click from ANY keyboard combination in the LV environment in any case. I'm using GoToMeeting. I few years ago I used GoToMyPC for similar work and don't remember the right-click not working. Have you ever tried to change a tunnel to a shift register without the right-click?
